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 12):
A method of data communication for a communication system, the method comprising:\n receiving a plurality of incoming data streams, each of the plurality of incoming data streams being associated with a channel; aligning the plurality of incoming data streams; generating an aligned data stream; encoding the aligned data stream to generate a first encoded data stream using a first FEC mode; embedding a first alignment marker in the first encoded data stream, the first alignment marker comprising a first region storing a first device message and second region storing an FEC mode message, the FEC mode message indicating the first FEC mode; transmitting the first encoded data stream to a receiving entity; and determining a device compatibility using at least the first device message; sending a second encoded data stream the receiving entity if the an acknowledgement message is not received from the receiving entity within a predetermined period of time, the second encoded data stream including a second device message.
