ABSTRACT:
A medium access control (MAC) device comprising an encoder that encodes a transmit control signal including one of a transmit enable signal in one half cycle of a clock signal and a transmit error signal in another half cycle of the clock signal. A control signal transmitter transmits the encoded transmit control signal. A data signal transmitter selectively transmits a transmit data signal including signaling data based on states of the transmit enable signal and the transmit error signal during the clock cycle.
