Method and apparatus for transmitting data

A system comprising:

• a memory;
• and
• a processing circuitry that is operatively coupled to the memory, the processing circuitry being configured to:
• transmit a data block that is part of a message, the data block including a plurality of data block symbols;
• detect a duration of an end portion of the message, the duration being detected based on a difference between:
• (i) a time that is allotted for transmitting the message and (ii) a time needed for transmitting the data block as well as any other element of the message that precedes the end portion;
• and
• transmit one or more auxiliary data symbols as part of the end portion of the message,
• wherein the end portion has a flexible duration that is selected to synchronize a total duration of the message to the time that is allotted for transmitting the message, and
• wherein each of the data block symbols and each of the auxiliary data symbols is encoded by using pulse-width modulation (PWM).

A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing one or more processor executable instructions, which, when executed by a processing circuitry of a sensor cause the processing circuitry to perform the operations of:

• transmitting a data block that is part of a message, the data block including a plurality of data block symbols;
• detecting a duration of an end portion of the message, the duration being detected based on a difference between:
• (i) a time that is allotted for transmitting the message and (ii) a time needed for transmitting the data block as well as any other element of the message that precedes the end portion;
• and
• transmitting one or more auxiliary data symbols as part of the end portion of the message,
• wherein the end portion has a flexible duration that is selected to synchronize a total duration of the message to the time that is allotted for transmitting the message, and
• wherein each of the data block symbols and each of the auxiliary data symbols is encoded by using pulse-width modulation (PWM).
