Abstract
A logical machine operating according to a predetermined state diagram for performing state transitions on information in telecommunication transmission frames, each of the transmission frames having a plurality of repeated concatenation information which is indicative of the structure of the transmission frames, each of the transmission frames also having data information and pointer information which is indicative of the location of the data information in the transmission frames, characterized in that the logical machine performs the state transitions in the predetermined state diagram as a simultaneous function of all the repeated concatenation information of the transmission frame.
Claims18
A method for determining with a logical machine valid data in a transmission signal having a data information signal and a control information signal with a pointer information signal and a repeated concatenation information signal, the pointer information signal indicating a location of the data information signal in the transmission signal, and the repeated concatenation information signal indicating the data structure of the data information signals, comprising the steps of:
- providing a logical machine;
- operating the logical machine according to a single predetermined state diagram having state transitions;
- receiving the transmission signal at an input of the logical machine;
- simultaneously performing the state transitions on the repeated concatenation information signal with the logical machine;
- and
- generating a pointer and data indication signal indicating whether a pointer is defined and the data information signal is valid in the transmission signal.
