Channelized rate adaptation

Abstract:

Apparatus and method relating generally to a channelized communication system is disclosed. In such a method, a read signal and a switch control signal are generated by a controller. Received by channelized buffers are data words from multiple channels associated with groups of information and the read signal. The data words are read out from the channelized buffers responsive to the read signal. A switch receives the data words from the channelized buffers responsive to the read signal. A gap is inserted between the groups of information by the switch. One or more control words are selectively inserted in the gap by the switch responsive to the switch control signal. The switch control signal has indexes for selection of the data words and the control words.
