ABSTRACT:
A synchronization system and method for use in a packet switched communication network are provided. The synchronization system comprises a transmitter-identification system, a packet-boundary detection system and a storage-access system. The transmitter-identification system enables each receiving terminal within the network to know the identity of the originating transmitter terminal for a given packet of information, prior to the reception of this packet of information. The packet-boundary detection system enables detection of packet synchronization parameters for all transmitter-receiver pairs of terminals within the network. The storage-access system stores the detected packet synchronization parameters and allows the receiver to access the packet synchronization parameters. According to one embodiment of the invention, the synchronization method comprises the step of detecting synchronization parameters and, for a given receiver terminal, establishing the identity of the originating transmitter for an incoming packet of information, accessing synchronization parameters corresponding to the identified transmitter, adjusting receiver based on accessed synchronization parameters and decoding the incoming packet of information.
