A transmitting system includes a variable-length packet multiplexing apparatus and a transmission slotting apparatus. The variable-length packet multiplexing apparatus generates a variable-length packet. The transmission slotting apparatus stores the variable-length packet in slots forming transmission main signals. The transmission slotting apparatus includes a capacity calculator, an extractor, a remainder calculator, a selector, and a slot information multiplexer. The capacity calculator calculates a data capacity of the transmission main signals for one frame. The extractor extracts a byte number of the variable-length packet. The remainder calculator calculates a remaining capacity of the transmission main signals. The selector stores a predetermined data sequence in a region left in the slots, and outputs the slots storing the data sequence. The slot information multiplexer multiplexes slot information and the slots output by the selector.

A system and method of receiving HDLC communications is disclosed. The system measures the pulse width of the incoming signal and converts each pulse into a series of bits, based on its pulse width. In this way, the reception of the HDLC communication is not dependent on any particular clock rate and is adaptable. The system takes advantages of the fact that the flag is a string of six consecutive bits that are all 1. Thus, the longest positive pulse width may be used to determine the bit rate. This allows the system to operate over a very broad range of data rates.
