Module to module signaling utilizing amplitude modulation

摘要

A method and apparatus configured to incorporate system data for transmission as part of or concurrently with network data. The system data may comprise communication system data for use in controlling or monitoring a communication system. The system data may be is utilized to control or adjust the amplitude or intensity of the network data to thereby amplitude modulate the system data into or with the transmission of the network data. By monitoring the amplitude or intensity of the received network data signal, the system data may be recovered. An automatic gain control or bias loop may be monitored to detect the amplitude modulation of the network data. The system data may be encoded.
