Abstract:
The present invention is directed to data communication systems and methods. More specifically, embodiments of the present invention provide techniques for transceivers to quickly identify FEC mode used in data communication. A transmitting transceiver embeds FEC mode information in a designated field of an alignment marker. The receiving transceiver acknowledges the receipt of the FEC mode information and processes the incoming data accordingly. There are other embodiments as well.

Claim (Index 9):
A communication system comprising:\n a transceiver device comprising: an input data communication interface for receiving an analog data stream from a transmitting entity; an ADC module for converting the analog data stream to a data stream and a plurality of alignment markers, the plurality of alignment markers including a first alignment markers and a second alignment marker; a processing module for determining first FEC mode by processing a device message embedded at the first alignment marker and a first FEC mode message; and an FEC module for processing the data stream in accordance with the first FEC mode; wherein the transceiver device determines device compatibility and sends an acknowledgment message to the transmitting entity within the predetermine period of time to confirm the first FEC mode; and a channel associated with the input data communication interface.
