Patent ID: 8638672

Claim:
A station for sending data to a receiver, comprising: a data transmission interface for passing data to a communication channel for a transmission; storage memory connected for communication with a processor and containing a correlation table for receiving information identifying the receiver, for identifying a decoding procedure implemented by the receiver, and for providing, for use in decoding the copy of the encoded data, an identity of the decoding procedure implemented by the receiver; the processor connected for communication with the data transmission interface, for preparing unencoded data for the transmission, the processor being operative to encode data and pass the encoded data to the data transmission interface, the processor being further operative to decode a copy of the encoded data according to the identified decoding procedure implemented by the receiver, including programming errors and misinterpretations of standards in the decoding procedure implemented by the receiver and to compare the unencoded data with the decoded copy of the encoded data as processed by encoding and decoding, to determine if the transmission is affected by encoding or decoding errors.
