ABSTRACT:
Aspects of the invention may include a method for encoding data in a multilane communication channel. The method may include generating from existing control characters in a character set, an expanded control character which may be utilized for controlling data in each lane of the multilane communication channel. The expanded control character may utilize spare link bandwidth. At least one of the lanes may be controlled using at least one of the generated existing control characters. If a first control character is an alignment character, a second control character may be selected from any other existing control characters. The first control character may be combined with the second control character to generate a third control character. Each of the combinations of the first and second control characters may represent an expanded control character. The existing control characters may be a configuration character, an idle character or an encapsulation character.
