Low-latency, low-overhead data framing method for capacity-limited delay-sensitive long distance communication

A method, comprising:

• encoding a message data stream with user data and fill data;
• modifying the fill data to reduce a chance of false message detection;
• encoding the message data stream with a parity check code in combination with an error correction scheme;
• creating a modified version of the fill data in which the modified version fails a test for the parity check code;
• wherein the user data is unmodified to pass a parity test and error correction test;
• and
• transmitting the message data stream from a transmission station.

A method, comprising:

• receiving a user data packet from a high speed network at a transmission station;
• calculating a message transmission time for the user data packet across a primary communication channel;
• wherein the primary communication channel has lower bandwidth than the high speed network;
• wherein the transmission time across the primary communication channel is longer than across the high speed data network;
• calculating an inter-message transmission time between user data packets from the high speed network;
• determining whether to transmit the user data packet over the primary communication channel at least based on message transmission time and inter-message transmission time;
• accepting the user data packet for transmission over a primary communication channel when the message transmission time across the primary communication channel is more than an inter-message transmission time between user data packets;
• and
• transmitting a message including the user data across the primary communication channel.
