ABSTRACT:
A communication system including two endpoints (transceivers or a transmitter and receiver) and a serial link between them. At least one endpoint is configured to generate encoded data in accordance with a line code and to transmit the encoded data over the link. The line code specifies a block code for encoding cells of application data and control bits, and typically also special characters that do not match bit sequences of encoded cells. Other aspects of the invention are methods for generating (and endpoint devices configured to generate and transmit, or receive and process) such encoded data, and methods for performing functions of multiple layers of a communication protocol in response to such encoded data. In accordance with the invention, multiple levels of communication protocol functionality can be efficiently incorporated within a line code.
