Embedding low-speed communications in a high speed wireless tunneling system

A method for wirelessly tunneling communications between a local processing apparatus and a remote processing apparatus while maintaining compliance of the communications between the local processing apparatus and the remote processing apparatus with a high-speed wired communication protocol, the method comprising:

• receiving, by a wireless receiver of a local wireless tunneling apparatus coupled to the local processing apparatus, a wireless receive signal from a remote wireless tunneling apparatus coupled to the remote processing apparatus, the wireless receive signal having a plurality of frames, each of the plurality of frames comprising a first receive portion encoding communications corresponding to the high-speed wired communication protocol and a second receive portion encoding communications corresponding to a low-speed wired communication protocol comprising a different protocol and communicating data at a lower speed than the high-speed wired communication protocol;
• determining, by a state machine, a predicted state of the remote processing apparatus based on the first receive portion of the wireless receive signal;
• decoding, by the wireless receiver, the wireless receive signal;
• generating, by the wireless receiver, a first output signal based on the predicted state of the remote processing apparatus and the first receive portion of the decoded wireless receive signal that conforms to the high-speed wired communication protocol;
• providing, by an interface circuit coupled to the local processing apparatus, the first output signal to the local processing apparatus via the high-speed wired communication protocol;
• generating, by the wireless receiver, a second output signal based on the second receive portion of the decoded wireless receive signal that conforms to the low-speed wired communication protocol;
• and
• storing, by a register, the second output signal.
