ABSTRACT:
A method of transmitting data and commands on a communication link so as to efficiently distinguish between commands and data. This invention encodes information symbols before transmission on the communication link. A unique code symbol S which does not equal any encoded information symbol is defined along with a unique encoded command symbol ESOTX. Encoded data information symbols are transmitted by sending S followed by ESOTX, and then the encoded data information symbols. Encoded command information symbols, not including ESOTX, are transmitted by sending S immediately followed by the encoded command information symbols. The receiver interprets any encoded information symbol immediately following S as a command. If the encoded command equals ESOTX, the following symbols are treated as data until S is received again. If the encoded command is not ESOTX, the following symbols are treated as commands until S is received again.
