Abstract
Abstract A system for reducing the time for repeating erroneous signals through a series of interconnected ARQ-circuits (automatic error correction circuits), in which the durations of the repetition cycles of the ARQ-circuits, as compared to one another, are not equal. The system comprises means at a connection point and capable of storing a number of signals related to each propagation time of a circuit located before the connection point, when a circuit located behind the connection point goes through a repetition procedure including means for generating a special signal to indicate when a repetition procedure is in process in one of said ARQ interconnected circuits to prevent the other interconnected ARQ circuits from also going through their repetition procedures.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 10
Claim 1
Independent Claim
115 words
System for error control and phasing in a series of interconnected ARQ-circuits; the durations of the repetition cycles of each ARQ-circuits, as compared to one another, being not equal, said system comprising: means provided at a connection point capable of storing a number of signals related to the propagation time of a circuit located before the connection point, when a circuit located behind the connection point goes through a repetition procedure; and means to deliver special signals not belonging to the traffic to the circuits located behind the connection point and not going through a repetition procedure to prevent their repetition when the first said circuit behind said connection point goes through a repetition procedure.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
115 words
System for error control and phasing in a series of interconnected ARQ-circuits; the durations of the repetition cycles of each ARQ-circuits, as compared to one another, being not equal, said system comprising: means provided at a connection point capable of storing a number of signals related to the propagation time of a circuit located before the connection point, when a circuit located behind the connection point goes through a repetition procedure; and means to deliver special signals not belonging to the traffic to the circuits located behind the connection point and not going through a repetition procedure to prevent their repetition when the first said circuit behind said connection point goes through a repetition procedure.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
60 words
System according to claim 1, wherein said means provided at the connection point comprises a buffer store (7), a first detector (30) for detecting signals not belonging to the traffic, and a gate circuit (29) between said buffer store and said detector for controlling said buffer store to prevent recording of the said special signals in the buffer store (7).
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
59 words
System according to claim 2 wherein said means provided at the connection point comprises a second detector (24) connected to said buffer store, and gate circuits (19, 20, 21 and 26) controlled by said detector for controlling the transmitting the signals recorded in the buffer store (7), when the circuit that follows is no longer in a repetition procedure.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
148 words
In a system of a series of interconnecting automatic error correction telecommunication traffic signal circuits, at least one of which circuits has a different repetition cycle time than that of the other circuits, means at each connection between said circuits for automatically correcting an error in any one of said circuits by delaying the other circuits only for the time it takes for correcting said error in said one circuit, said means comprising: (A) means for detecting errors in the traffic signals of each circuit, (B) means for storing traffic signals, (C) means for generating a special signal in response to said error detecting means for transmission over said other circuits until said error is corrected, (D) means for detecting said special signal, and (E) means controlled by said special signal detecting means for preventing the further transmission of traffic signals while said special signals are being detected.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
