Packet Scheduler¶
Organization of Carrier Bursts
Overview¶
The packet scheduler organizes the carrier into deterministic packet structures.
Its operation is performed by Timer2 and the packet executor.

Responsibilities¶
The packet scheduler determines:
- active intervals,
- silent intervals,
- segment progression,
- packet families.
Design Principle¶
The packet scheduler does not generate pulses.
It controls when the carrier engine is allowed to operate.
