ABSTRACT:
A control message communication mechanism for use in a broadband transceiver system that includes multiple digital signal processors for performing real time signal processing tasks. One of the digital signal processor (DSPs) is designated as a master DSP. The remainder of the DSPs are arranged in rows and columns to provide a two-dimensional array. A pair of bit-serial interfaces on each DSP are connected in a vertical bus and horizontal loop arrangement. The vertical bus arrangement provides a primary mechanism for the master DSP to communicate control messages to the array DSPs. The horizontal loop mechanism provides a secondary way for DSPs to communicate control information with one another, without involving the master DSP, such as may be required to handle a particular call, without interrupting the more time critical primary connectivity mechanism.
