Abstract: There is disclosed a method of inserting a secondary stream of binary information into a main symbol stream of at least one standard digital modulation. The stream to be transmitted resulting from the insertion of the secondary stream in the main stream is a symbol stream of a modified digital modulation. The stream to be transmitted has the same symbol rate as the main stream. The sequence of symbols of the stream to be transmitted is encoded according, cumulatively, to a first condition over at least two consecutive symbols of the main stream, on the one hand; and to a second condition on a current bit or a plurality of current bits of the secondary stream, on the other hand.

Abstract: The invention relates to synchronization applied to a data stream structured as super-frames. Each block in a super-frame comprises a slow synchronization part and at least one traffic frame. The slow synchronization parts in the super-frame result at least from a decomposition of a synchronization management word. Additional synchronization parts similar to the slow synchronization parts and distributed in place of traffic frame bits in the super-frame are inserted in the super-frame. The invention provides for fast synchronization coexisting with a pre-existing slow synchronization without increasing the bandwidth. The invention is particularly applicable to cryptographic synchronization between fixed and/or mobile terminal equipments operating in interconnected dissimilar networks whose synchronization time constants differ.

Abstract: For the transmission of a secondary information flow between a transmitter and a receiver, the secondary information flow is inserted at a parametric vocoder of the transmitter which generates a main information flow. The main information flow is a speech data flow encoding a speech signal and is transmitted from the transmitter to the receiver. Bits from the secondary information flow are inserted into only some of the frames of the main information flow, these frames being selected by a frame mask which is known to the transmitter and the receiver, and/or into a determined frame of the main information flow, by imposing a constraint on only some of the bits of the frame, these bits being selected by a bit mask known to the emitter and the receiver.
