ABSTRACT:
An electronic device is provided which comprises an interconnect means (N) for coupling a plurality of processing modules (IP1-IP5) to enable a communication between the processing modules (IP1-IP5). The electronic device further comprises a plurality of network interfaces (NI) for coupling the interconnect means (N) to one of the processing modules (IP1-IP5). Furthermore, at least one time slot allocating unit (SA) is provided for allocating time slots to channels of the interconnect means (N). The time slot allocating unit (SA) comprises a plurality of slot tables (T0-T4) with a plurality of entries. Each entry corresponds to a fraction of the available bandwidth of the interconnect means (N). A first slot table of the plurality of slot tables (T0-T4) comprises at least one first entry of the plurality of entries which relates to a second slot table of the plurality of slot tables (T0-T4).
