Abstract:
A hybrid serial/parallel bus interface for a base station has a data block demultiplexing device. The data block demultiplexing device has an input configured to receive a data block and demultiplexes the data block into a plurality of nibbles. For each nibble, a parallel to serial converter converts the nibble into serial data. A line transfers each nibble's serial data. A serial to parallel converter converts each nibble's serial data to recover that nibble. A data block reconstruction device combines the recovered nibbles into the data block.

A hybrid serial/parallel bus interface method for a user equipment (UE) has a data block demultiplexing device (40). The data block demultiplexing device (40) has an input configured to receive a data block and demultiplexes the data block into a plurality of nibbles (42(2)). For each nibble, a parallel to serial converter (42(i)) converts the nibble into serial data. A line (44) transfers each nibble's serial data. A serial to parallel converter (46i) converts each nibble's serial data to recover that nibble. A data block reconstruction device (48) combines the recovered nibbles into the data block.

Abstract:
A hybrid serial/parallel bus interface method for a base station. The method is employed for transferring data from a first node to a second node, the first node being the base station. The base station provides a data block, demultiplexes the data block into a plurality of nibbles, each nibble having a plurality of bits, and adds a start bit to each nibble. A given state of at least a given one of the start bits initiates a transfer of data, thereby eliminating need for a separate clock line. For each nibble, the base station converts that nibble into serial data, provides a line and transfers the nibble serial data over the line. The second node converts the nibble serial data into parallel data to recover the nibble and combines the recovered nibbles into the data block.
