Abstract
A hybrid data parallel/serial data transfer system with phase adjustment and symbol coding for switching digital data packets in order to facilitate massive high speed, high capacity transfer of information with a limited number of signal lines. The transfer of information is processed over cross-bar networks. Much higher data transfer speed is possible than in a conventional serial data transfer. Moreover, the bits or Tera bits can be transferred easily over long distances. Data is transmitted over a communication link or trunk consisting of one of more cross-bar networks. Each message is transmitted as a sequence of groups of data bits, the bits in each group are transmitted in parallel over the trunk wherein each line or path carries a signal and each message is preceded by a serial start pattern. The receiver comprises a plurality of decoders for receiving data signals from the trunk. The arrangement overcomes the problem of data skew due to different transmission times over the lines of the trunk.
