Method and apparatus for transmitting packet of data

摘要

An information source sequentially outputs data, and outputs a timing signal related to the data. A packet generator produces a packet from the data outputted by the information source. A FIFO memory temporarily stores the packet produced by the packet generator, and outputs the packet. A first device operates for detecting a specified relative timing within a duration of the packet which is being inputted into the FIFO memory in response to the timing signal outputted by the information source. A second device operates for receiving the packet outputted by the FIFO memory, and transmitting the packet during a first nominal cycle after the first device detects the specified relative timing.
