SINGLE-COUNTER, MULTI-TRIGGER SYSTEMS AND METHODS IN COMMUNICATION SYSTEMS

Abstract:

Single-counter, multi-trigger systems and methods in communication systems consolidate tracking of multiple trigger events into a single counter in place of plural counters. The single counter may track multiple trigger events for a single triggered element. Likewise, the single counter may track trigger events for a plurality of triggered elements. By consolidating tracking of trigger events with reference to a single counter, the size of the circuit may be reduced and power savings may be achieved.
