Abstract:
1. A method for transmitting and receiving a packet of information, comprising: generating a table having a plurality of associated operation codes, scrambler syndrome values, scrambled values, and encoded code words, wherein the plurality of encoded code words have been selected based upon predetermined criteria and each code word has a maximum hamming distance between all other encoded code words; resetting a scrambler generator using a scrambler seed value at the beginning of transmission; scrambling a plurality of data value by XORing the plurality of data values with a value from the scrambler syndrome generator to form a plurality of scrambled values; encoding the plurality of scrambled values to a plurality of encoded scrambled values having a greater number of bits; transmitting an encoded code word representing an operation code to a receiving device; decoding and descrambling the encoded code word to create a code word; comparing the code word against the table having the plurality of associated operation codes, scrambler syndrome values, scrambled values, and encoded code words by the receiving device; and acting upon the received opcode immediately after decoding to properly process the rest of the incoming data.
