Data formats for telecommunications networks
First Claim
1. A packet bus overlay datagram format, comprising:
- an internal datagram header comprising a destination address, a weighted age, and a source address, wherein the weighted age includes an age of the datagram and a weighting factor associated with the datagram; and
a datagram payload concatenated with the internal datagram header comprising payload data.

Abstract
Three data formats for telecommunication networks are provided. One format is an asynchronous packet bus overlay datagram format (122) constructed to include an internal datagram header (140) and a datagram payload (141) concatenated with the internal datagram header. The internal datagram header comprises a destination address (146), a weighted age (152), and a source address (14). A second format is a wideband bus overlay format (126) comprising three header octets and a plurality of payload octets such that the data is formatted into one of a plurality of industry standard isochronous wideband data formats. A third format is a narrow band bus overlay format (124) comprising a plurality of signaling octets, a plurality of octets concatenated with the first plurality of signaling octets to hold data, and a common system multiframe structure.

8. A narrowband bus overlay data format, comprising;
-
a first plurality of octets operable to hold data representing a plurality of signaling bits; a second plurality of octets concatenated with the first plurality of octets operable to hold data representing transmitted information such that a plurality of isochronous narrowband data formats are adaptable to the narrowband bus overlay data format; and a common system multiframe structure containing at least one of the first plurality of octets and one of the second plurality of octets wherein the common system multiframe system is of a fixed length and supports a plurality of isochronous narrowband data formats. - View Dependent Claims (9)
