ABSTRACT:
A fault tolerant protocol for determining the beginning of data despite the presence of burst errors in a frame of transmitted data. The fault tolerant protocol of the present invention provides in the frame of transmitted data a plurality of different preamble characters, P, in a prearranged order before the beginning of data. The frame of transmitted data before the plurality of preamble characters is a plurality of identical synchronization characters, S. The protocol of the present invention detects a predetermined number, n, of sequential synchronization characters in the plurality, s, of synchronization characters. Upon detection, a synchronization signal is issued indicating acquisition of synchronization. Upon receipt of the synchronization signal, the invention detects a majority, m, of preamble characters in the plurality of preamble characters. When a majority of the preamble characters have been detected, the beginning of data is determined.
