A satellite communication system which performs switching on data cells. A switch (80) receives the data cells at a set of input ports (IP1-IP128) and directs them to, a set of output ports (OP1 - OP128). In order to arbitrate input data cells contending for, the same output port, decision factor codes and routing codes are serially conducted to, input registers (210), and a pseudo-random sequence code is appended. The combined codes are ordered by routing code in a decoder (220). The code with the highest decision factor code is selected in one or more determinators (230 and, 240). The selected code is identified by a bit in a result register (250).

Why it's free to use
- Filed January 12, 2000 and granted September 17, 2002. A Canadian patent filed from October 1, 1989 lasts 20 years from filing, so its term ended January 12, 2020.
- A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by January 12, 2022.
- We check Canadian rights only. A patent in its family in another country could still be in force: check its family on Google Patents.
