Method and arrangement of buffer allocation in communication systems by employing fixed and dynamic buffer allocation functions

摘要

Buffer memory systems are utilized in communication systems for the transmission of data that arise irregularly over time. These data are stored in memory areas and are subsequently transmitted block-by- block via a data line. The capacity limit of those memory areas is often exhausted, even though an adequate amount of free memory space is still present in the buffer memory system. A buffer distribution method, which is based on a combination of a fixed and of a dynamic buffer allocation method, solves this problem.
