Programmable frame alignment signal

摘要

The invention relates to the transmission of data embedded in at least one carrier signal having a frame based structure with a section (2) defined for embedding synchronization information (3) for detecting a predetermined frame based point of reference. An object of the invention is to provide a new and considerably improved approach for using transmission framing pattern in independent of any pre-given standardization. Accordingly, for the transmission of data embedded in a carrier signal having a frame based structure with a section defined for embedding synchronization information for detecting a predetermined frame based point of reference, the invention proposes to use instead of fixed synchronization information (3) flexible synchronization information (3'), in particular programmable synchronization information (3'). <IMAGE>
