Claim 5:
6. A communications system comprising:
a first system including:
a receiver configured to receive an encoded message signal, and
a first controller, including a processor; and

a second system including:
a transmitter configured transmit the encoded message signal, the encoded message signal comprising one or more encoded message words, and
a second controller, including a processor, the second controller configured to
determine a message signal, the message signal including one or more message words,
encode the one or more message words into the one or more encoded message words of the encoded message signal based on a coding format,
the coding format correlating each of a plurality of correlated ratios, respectively, with one of a plurality of format words, each of the plurality of correlated ratios corresponding to one of the plurality of format words,
wherein each of the plurality of correlated ratios is a ratio of a duty cycle of a pulse to a respective period associated with one or both of the duty cycle and the pulse, and
wherein each of the one or more encoded message words are encoded as one of the plurality of correlated ratios,

determine the encoded message signal based on the one or more encoded message words, and
communicate the encoded message signal to the first system; and

wherein the first controller is configured to:
receive the encoded message signal, including the one or more encoded message words,
decode the one or more encoded message words into one or more decoded message words, based on the coding format, by referencing each of the one or more decoded message words against the plurality of correlated ratios, and
determine the message signal based on the one or more decoded message words.
