Patent ID: 8817928

Claim:
A method to synchronize a sequence generator determined by an n-state k-stage, shift register in a feedback configuration with n>1 and k>1, for generating at least one n-state symbol, each n-state symbol being represented by a signal, comprising: receiving by a processor k non-consecutive n-state symbols in a sequence of n-state symbols, wherein none of the k non-consecutive n-state symbols is consecutive in the sequence of n-state symbols; determining by the processor a generating state of the sequence generator for a starting moment, including the steps of executing k different n-state expressions wherein only the k non-consecutive n-state symbols as are variables; and generating by the sequence generator of the at least one n-state symbol at the starting moment with the n-state k-stage, shift register in the feedback configuration in the generating state, wherein the sequence generator is an autonomous sequence generator.
