Abstract: A packet of data, which contains a timestamp value and which is to be transmitted through an ATM network, is encapsulated in a convergence sublayer protocol data unit (92) having a header (96) and a payload (94). The CS-PDU is then segmented into successive segments (106, 108, 110 and 112) with one segment (106) containing the CS-PDU header (96). The segments (106, 108, 110 and 112) are inserted in respective ATM cells (114, 116, 118 and 120) and transmitted through the ATM network. At each node in the ATM network, any variable delays imposed on the cell (114) that contains CS-PDU header (96) are added to a time reference correction field (100) in the CS-PDU header (96). At a destination node, the accumulated delay value in the TRC field (100) of the CS-PDU header (96) can be added to the timestamp value of the packet to compensate for the variable delays imposed by the ATM network.

Abstract: A flexible architecture for a digital data receiver including a demultiplexer (612) is provided which allows modular addition of data processors (630, 620, 618, 622) with low complexity and minimal memory requirements. The demultiplexer operates on a scalable frame-based multiplex signal, and interprets the multiplex control data at the start of the frame. With the information interpreted from the control data, the demultiplexer separates individual data services and optionally decrypts them. Data, a data clock and an error flag signal are presented to the demultiplexer input. According to a service requested by a user, the demultiplexer outputs decrypted data clock, error flag and service enable signals in a flow-through manner (610) to an appropriate data processor without data storage.

Abstract: A multiplex frame format for transmitting digital data in a data transmission system comprises a PACKETS portion comprising a highly error-protected region, a region having only Reed Solomon encoding as an error protection measure, and a portion including low speed data. The frame format also comprises portions for transmitting medium (AUDIO) and high speed (VIDEO) data streams following the PACKETS portion. Prior to transmission, the composed frame comprising the PACKETS, AUDIO and VIDEO portions is interleaved and the BLOCK SYNC and FRAME SYNC are added (110). A multiplex structure control packet word of the PACKETS portion immediately follows FRAME SYNC. Thus, the FRAME SYNC word defines where interleaving begins. A demultiplexer (156) in concert with a microcontroller (158) of a decoder (154, 155) decodes the multiplex structure control word and related PACKETS and outputs digital data streams to related output peripheral processors (157).

Abstract: A teletext system provides teletext services and teletext support services in a multiservice communication system. Multiplex data streams for a plurality of services, including teletex data, are transmitted in a sequence of frames between a transmitter location and a receiver location. Teletext information is transmitted in the format of a header packet and a data packet. The header packet contains information identifying the teletext information according to page number as well as other filter fields, such as language (filter 4), time zone (filter 2), etc. By appropriate selection of the values of the filter fields, the operator is afforded greater flexibility in providing a variety of classes of service and service support to subscribers. In addition, the system may easily be reconfigured to support the addition of services or the cancellation of services.

Abstract: A display system for providing programmable on-screen displays for a subscriber terminal, includes a control processor (128) and a display processor (127) which generates such displays from stored display information and display attributes. The control processor (128) executes display routines to configure the display processor (127) and to load the display data into a display memory. The display routines, display attributes and display data are programmable and can be varied for optimal use of the display processor. In one implementation, such information can be modified by changing the programming in non-volatile memory of the subscriber terminal, either by switching ROM (134) or Flash EPROM ICs (326) or by a plug in module (138). Another implementation includes downloading the information with other executable code and data in the read/write portions of the non-volatile memory. A third implementation provides specialized display transactions for the information which, in a preferred embodiment, envisions a high level screen definition language whose commands can be compiled into the formats of the display routines, display attributes and display data.
