Abstract
A receiver for digital data is provided. The receiver comprises a ring buffer operable to store received data. The receiver also comprises a write pointer controller for the buffer, operable to control the writing of received data into the buffer, and a read pointer controller for the buffer, operable to control the reading of data from the buffer. The receiver further comprises a pointer adjustment controller operable, in response to a detection of a special data indicator, to control at least one of the write pointer controller and the read pointer controller using forward looking operable to foresee a data location within the buffer corresponding to a future read location of the buffer.
