Method and apparatus for packetizing data into a data stream

A method for packetizing data, the method comprises the steps of:

• a) storing at least a portion of the data word in at least one data storage section of a plurality of data storage sections of local memory;
• on a bit by bit basis,
• b) obtaining data mapping information that corresponds the data word to the at least one data storage section and time positioning data;
• c) obtaining memory context information based on at least a portion of the data mapping information, wherein the memory context information contains current bit retrieval status of the at least a portion of the data word;
• and
• d) processing a bit of the at least a portion of the data word as at least one of:
• data and data packetizing protocol information based on at least one of:
• time occurrence of the bit, the data mapping information, and the memory context information.

A data packetizing module comprises:

• a processing module;
• local memory;
• and
• memory operably coupled to the processing module, wherein the memory includes operating instructions that cause the processing module to (a) determine bit-time occurrence for retrieval of at least one bit of at least a portion of a data word;
• (b) determine status of the data word based on the bit-time occurrence;
• (c) retrieve, from the local memory, the at least one bit based on the status of the data word to produce at least one retrieved bit;
• (d) update status of the data word based on the bit-time occurrence of the at least one bit and the data word to produce updated status of the data word;
• and (e) apply a data packetizing protocol to the at least one retrieved bit based on the status of the data word to construct a data packet corresponding to the data word.

• data and data packetizing protocol information based on at least one of:
• time occurrence of the bit, the data mapping information, and the memory context information.
