Abstract

See full text

A method and apparatus for synchronizing sequence of digital information packets is disclosed. The sequence of digital information packets is provided from a digital information source at a source rate and is later received by a device having an associated synchronization rate. In a preferred embodiment, a counter increment is determined, and a current information packet and a next information packet are selected from the sequence. The current information packet is received into the device. Upon an occurrence of a synchronization event on the device, the counter increment is subtracted from a counter and the counter is compared to a predetermined threshold. If the counter is less than or equal to the predetermined threshold, then the next information packet is received into the device, a next information packet is selected from the sequence, and a predetermined constant is added to the counter.
