Abstract
A communication method and apparatus incorporating fault-tolerance and increased transmission reliability in a content-induced transaction overlap (CITO) system is disclosed. The system is driven by an error-detecting and correcting CITO-based protocol whereby transient failures are transparent to the user. A parity check is built into the protocol for detecting failures due to hard faults. A redundancy configuration is also disclosed which permits circumvention of fabrication defects, thereby allowing an increased manufacturing yield.
