MESSAGE DROPOUT MINIMIZATION WHEN TRANSPORTING ISOCHRONOUS PACKETS ACROSS A PLESIOCHRONOUS BOUNDARY

摘要

A system for reducing message dropout rate in a communication system is provided. Message dropouts occur during transportation of isochronous datasets across a plesiochronous boundary. The system includes a first processing element (102) configured to operate in response to a first clock signal at a first clock speed. The system further includes a second processing element (104) configured to operate in response to a second clock signal at a second clock speed, different from the first clock speed. The second processing element (104) is operably connected to the first processing element (102) by a data bus. The first processing element (102) and the second processing element (104) are configured to indicate a fault when no dataset is received during a processing interval.
