Abstract
A digital radio link suitable for transmitting digital voice or data signals includes an input circuit for ATM or frame relay cells/frames attached to an ATM or Frame Relay network, a forward error correction encoder and decoder with indication of uncorrectable blocks due to large bit errors such as burst errors, a payload processing module for modifying bits in the frames or cells so that frames/cells extracted from a forward error correction ("FEC") block containing bit errors will not be misinserted by the network.
Claims5
A digital radio link including:
- an access unit for transferring data packets of variable or fixed size to and from a plurality of line interfaces;
- a transfer circuit for receiving data from the access unit including a forward error correction encoder circuit for forward error correction encoding;
- a reception circuit for receiving data packets from the transmission circuit, said reception circuit including a forward error correction decoder for indication of an uncorrectable block;
- and
- a payload processing module for receiving bits from said forward error correction decoder and modifying some of said bits to reduce the chance of data packet misinsertion.
