Abstract

Systems and methods for time division multiplexing are described. A time division multiplexer-demultiplexer system includes I) a signal transmitting system for transmittal of a serialized signal including A) latency free continuous data and B) at least one member selected from the group consisting of bursty data and packetized data, the signal transmitting system including a multiplexer and a timing control block; and II) a signal receiving system for reception of the signal without disrupting the laminarity of the latency free continuous data, the signal receiving system including a demultiplexer and a sequence detector. The systems and methods provide advantages in that continuous data can be simultaneously transmitted with bursty data and/or packetized data on the same tie line without disrupting the laminarity of the continuous data.
