METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR CONFIGURING AN AIR INTERFACE IN A MODEM

摘要

A system and method for configuring an air interface processor in a modem. T he air interface processor includes an event handler and a microsequencer. The even t handler schedules data for transmission and reception in the modem. For transmission, the microsequencer sends commands to a frame formatter to format the data to be transmitted based on the schedule. Similarly for reception of data, microsequencer sends commands to a frame deformatter to deformat received data based on the schedule. The event handler, microsequener, frame formatte r and deformatter are programmable or configurable to accommodate different transmission formats a nd standards. A multi-way branching instruction is used in the programming of the microsequencer to enable faster processing.
