SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR DEMODULATOR STATE CONTROLLER

摘要

A method and apparatus is disclosed for performing at least one of a plurality of synchronization processes for time slot synchronization for selected time slots (315) contained in a TDM communication system, the time slots having a synchronization period of time allocated for the execution of any one of a selected one of the plurality of processes. The method comprises the steps of selecting a desired one of said plurality of synchronization processes, executing the selected synchronization process (320) in the allocated synchronization period, whereby the execution is repeatedly performed in allocated synchronization period of subsequent time slots when the execution is not completed at a termination of corresponding allocated synchronization period (325), and providing an indicator when the selected synchronization process is completed (330). In another aspect of the invention, the method is repeated for the selected time slot while time remains available during allocated synchronization period within the time slot.
