Abstract
A satellite communication system which performs switching on data cells. A switch (,) receives the data cells at a set of input ports (IP,-IP,) and directs them to a set of output ports (OP,-OP,). In order to arbitrate input data cells contending for the same output port, decision factor codes and routing codes are serially conducted to input registers (,), and a pseudo-random sequence code is appended. The combined codes are ordered by routing code in a decoder (,). The code with the highest decision factor code is selected in one or more determinators (,and,). The selected code is identified by a bit in a result register (,).
