Method and apparatus for transmitting data concurrently with a pulse-encoded signal

A system, comprising:

• a memory;
• and
• a processing circuitry that is operatively coupled to the memory, the processing circuitry being configured to:
• assign an identifier to a message;
• transmit an identifier of the message between every two consecutive pulses of a pulse-encoded signal until the whole message is transmitted;
• transmit a first portion of a payload of the message between every two consecutive pulses of the pulse-encoded signal until the whole message is transmitted;
• and
• transmit a different part of a second portion of the payload of the message between every two consecutive pulses of the pulse-encoded signal until the whole message is transmitted, wherein transmitting each part of the second portion includes:
• (i) detecting whether a next pulse of the pulse-encoded signal would be issued next time a clock signal changes states, (ii) transmitting a next bit from the payload when the next pulse would not be issued the next time the clock signal changes states, and (iii) abstaining from transmitting the next bit when the next pulse would be issued the next time the clock signal changes states,
• wherein the pulse-encoded signal encodes information by varying a frequency of pulses of the pulse-encoded signal, and the message is transmitted over a plurality of transmission periods that are delimited by respective consecutive pulses of the pulse-encoded signal.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing one or more processor-executable instructions, which, when executed by at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to execute a process for transmitting a message concurrently with a pulse-encoded signal, the process including the operations of:

• assigning an identifier to the message;
• transmitting an identifier of the message between every two consecutive pulses of the pulse-encoded signal until the whole message is transmitted;
• transmitting a first portion of a payload of the message between every two consecutive pulses of the pulse-encoded signal until the whole message is transmitted;
• and
• transmitting a different part of a second portion of the payload of the message between every two consecutive pulses of the pulse-encoded signal until the whole message is transmitted, wherein transmitting each part of the second portion includes:
• (i) detecting whether a next pulse of the pulse-encoded signal would be issued next time a clock signal changes states, (ii) transmitting a next bit from the payload when the next pulse would not be issued the next time the clock signal changes states, and (iii) abstaining from transmitting the next bit when the next pulse would be issued the next time the clock signal changes states,
• wherein the pulse-encoded signal encodes information by varying a frequency of pulses of the pulse-encoded signal, and the message is transmitted over a plurality of transmission periods that are delimited by respective consecutive pulses of the pulse-encoded signal.
