High speed modem, method and system for achieving synchronous data compression

摘要

The present invention provides a novel scheme for automatically increasing data throughput in a communication system by having data compression with delay minimization done within a modem. A high speed modem includes a logical link negotiation unit for probing and determining data compression parameters (DCPs) for a synchronous data compression link with a remote modem and for inserting the DCPs and codeword combinations into compressed data. The modem also includes a physical layer connection unit coupled to synchronous data terminal equipment to provide a delay minimizing scheme that adjustably accommodates data delivery delay to the receiving modem. A method and system incorporate the functions of the high speed modem.
