Abstract:
An HDLC accelerator includes a deframer and framer to respectively accelerate the deframing and framing processes for PPP packets. The deframer includes an input interface unit, a detection unit, a conversion unit, and an output interface unit. The input interface unit receives a packet of data to be deframed. The detection unit evaluates each data byte to detect for special bytes (e.g., flag, escape, and invalid bytes). The conversion unit deframes the received data by removing flag and escape bytes, "un-escaping" the data byte following each escape byte, providing a header word for each flag byte, and checking each deframed packet based on a frame check sequence (FCS) value associated with the packet. The output interface unit provides deframed data and may further perform byte alignment in providing the deframed data. A state control unit provides control signals indicative of specific tasks to be performed for deframing.

Abstract:
Systems, methods and apparatus for wireless communication are provided. In one aspect, the method comprises receiving at least one downlink packet. The method further comprises generating an acknowledge message in response to receiving the at least one downlink packet. The method further comprises prioritizing the acknowledge message in a buffer according to a probability, the probability based at least in part on a current utilization level of the buffer. The method may further comprise one or more of the following: setting the probability to a first value when the utilization level is below a first level, setting the probability to a second value when the utilization level is above the first level and below a second level, and setting the probability to a third value when the utilization level is above the second level. The second value may be adjusted based on feedback corresponding to a downlink throughput.
Abstract:
A method and system for transferring data bytes includes a first memory adapted to store a plurality of multiple-byte data words including header field bytes and one or more data field bytes. The system also includes a second memory adapted to store data field bytes transferred thereto from the first memory. A controller coupled to the first and second memories reads a data word including the header field byte and the one or more data field bytes out of the first memory. The system also includes a data packer coupled to the controller and the second memory. The controller and data packer cooperate to transfer the one or more data field bytes of the first data word read from the first memory to the second memory. The data packer stores only the one or more data field bytes in the second memory contiguously with a previously transferred and stored data field byte.
