Abstract
The present invention is generally directed to the transmission of data in various types of communication systems, including local area networks (LANs) and wide area networks (WANs). A main object of the present invention is to provide a system based on a parallel structure that can assemble and disassemble packet information in constant time, no matter how corrupted, out of order, or duplicated the arriving packets. A further object of the present invention is to provide a system that would improve efficiency in broadband networks, particularly if implemented in a VLSI chip using the low complexity architecture-and-reassembly of the present invention.
