<p>In a method for encoding payload bits for transmission over communications link, data and control information are assembled into n-bit data words, where n is an even number and words for control information are constrained to have zero disparity (equal numbers of binary zero and one digits). The n-bit data words are then encoded into n+2-bit code words by adding a two-bit label; for words carrying control information the label has a value of 10. For other data words the disparity is evaluated; if it is zero, the label bits are 01; if the disparity is non-zero and opposite in sense to the running digital sum of the code words transmitted already, the label bits are 11; otherwise, the data word is inverted, and the label bits are 00. <IMAGE></p> |
