Abstract: A serial protocol and interface for data transmission from a data transmitter 12 to a data receiver 14 where the propagation delay may be up to several clock cycles long and may be varying slowly. The data receiver provides a clock to the data transmitter. A synchronization signal provided by either the receiver or the transmitter initiates a frame of data transmission at a transfer rate controlled by the clock. The synchronization signal coordinates the transmission of a data header followed by a predetermined number of data bits, known as the frame length. The data receiver uses the header bits to determine the times to sample the subsequent data bits. The length of the frame is limited to provide sufficient likelihood the propagation delay line characteristics have not changed enough to cause a bit error. The system resynchronizes at the beginning of each frame.

Abstract: A bit adding part acquires RSSI as measured by an RSSI measuring part, and adds “1” to each bit of protected audio data of an audio vocoder, if the acquired RSSI is smaller than a predetermined threshold value. If the acquired RSSI is equal to or greater than the predetermined threshold value, the bit adding part adds the bits of additional data to the respective bits of the protected data of the audio vocoder. A frame recovery part separates upper and lower order bits of deinterleaved data, and determines, based on CRC, whether eight data parts as obtained by combining the lower order bits as separated are valid. If so, the frame recovery part combines the eight data parts as the additional data to recovery additional information. In this way, additional data can be efficiently transmitted, while error correction being performed in accordance with communication environment.
