METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR BUFFERING DATA SAMPLES IN SOFTWARE BASED ADSL MODEM

摘要

<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an apparatus and a method for stably transferring data when processing of a host computer executing a software routine of an ADSL modem is delayed in modem communication using the ADSL modem. Ž<P>SOLUTION: The invention relates to a method and an apparatus for buffering data samples in a software-based ADSL modem. The method includes the steps of receiving samples of a buffer and determining if the received samples of data will exceed the storage capacity of the buffer. Selected samples of data from the buffer are deleted or compressed in response to the storage capacity being exceeded. The selected samples of data that were deleted are then reconstituted or decompressed. Ž<P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT Ž
