METHODS AND APPARATUS FOR COMMUNICATING SCRAMBLING SEED INFORMATION

摘要

A method (300) of communicating scrambling seed information includes obtaining (301) raw data to be transmitted using a processor, and generating (302) scrambled data from the raw data according to a scrambling seed. A scrambled data packet structure is configured (303) by combining a preamble portion, a synch portion, and a header portion to the scrambled data, wherein the header portion includes a scrambler field value including a plurality of bits (M). The scrambled data packet structure is transmitted (304) to a receiver. The receiver receives (305) the header portion including the scrambler field value. The receiver maps (306) the scrambler field value to a scrambling seed, and decodes (307) the scrambled data using the scrambling seed.
