  • Publication number: 20160266846
    Abstract: A controller can perform a first write process, in which the controller confirms a state of a buffer memory in response to a first interrupt signal, and if the buffer memory has a free space where next transmission data can be written, writes the next transmission data in the buffer memory. Further, the controller can perform a second write process, in which the controller confirms the state of the buffer memory in response to completion of the first write process, and if the buffer memory has the free space, writes the next transmission data in the buffer memory. The controller performs a new one of the first write process after having performed write of the transmission data in the second write process.

  • Patent number: 9191152
    Abstract: The present communication system has a communication terminal (100) and a communication terminal (200) that are respectively provided with a memory for writing and reading using error correction coding/decoding. The communication terminal (100) transmits data to the communication terminal (200) in a high speed mode or normal mode. In high speed mode, the communication terminal (100) reads coded data written in a first memory (112) and transmits the coded data to the communication terminal (200) without decoding. The receiving-side communication terminal (200) writes the received data in a second memory (212) without coding, and decodes the data when said data is read.
