High-speed burst signal monitoring device

Abstract

A high-speed burst monitoring device for large capacity burst signal processing which constantly monitors receipt conditions of received burst signals in a time division multiplex access (TDMA) communications system, in which each frame comprises several individual burst signals; and, depending upon the result of examining each of the receipt conditions, transmits a control message to a remote station which has transmitted a particular burst signal. Bursts are each allocated to a particular address of high-speed store means with a burst identification number used as address data. Every time a burst signal is received, record data associated with that burst is read out of the high-speed store means, burst condition data is updated by a burst condition signal generated this time, it is determined whether a condition for the generation of a control message is satisfied, and the updated data is stored anew in the high-speed store means as the latest burst condition data. Such a procedure is repeated at a high speed whereby all the receipt condition data are integrated burst by burst to decide whether generation of a control message is needed. In the case of large capacity burst signal processing, a control message transmission request signal may be temporarily stored in a memory buffer if a massage cannot immediately be sent so as to convert the data rate between high-speed data processing sections such as burst condition decision means and low-speed data processing sections such as a message processing section.
