Robustness improvement for bandwidth communication system

A method comprising:

• receiving, at a computing device, a frame of data from a communication channel, wherein the frame of data includes a first control word, a second control word, a third control word, and other data, wherein each of the first, second, and third control words has a unique bit pattern and is associated with a different time interval, and wherein each time interval individually indicates where or when message data begins or began in the frame of data relative to the respective first, second, or third control word associated with the time interval;
• and
• identifying, by the computing device, at least some of the other data as the message data based upon receipt of at least one of the first, second, or third control words, wherein only one of the first, second, or third control words needs to be received to identify the message data from the other data;
• wherein the first, second, and third control words comprise at least one of i) a first start-of-frame control word and a second start-of-frame control word;
• or ii) a first end-of-frame control word and a second end-of-frame control word.

A method comprising:

• transmitting, by a computing device, a frame of data across a communication channel, wherein the frame of data comprises message data, a first control word, a second control word, and a third control word, wherein each of the first, second, and third control words has a unique bit pattern and is associated with a different time interval, and wherein each time interval individually indicates where or when the message data begins or began in the frame of data relative to the respective first, second, or third control word associated with the time interval;
• receiving, at the computing device, at least one of the first, second, or third control words and other data;
• and
• identifying, by the computing device, at least some of the other data as the message data based upon receipt of at least one of the first, second, or third control words, wherein only one of the first, second, or third control words needs to be received to identify the message data from the other data;
• and wherein the first, second, and third control words comprise at least one of i) a first start-of-frame control word and a second start-of-frame control word;
• or ii) a first end-of-frame control word and a second end-of-frame control word.

A system comprising:

• a memory;
• and
• a processor coupled to the memory, wherein the processor is configured to:
• transmit a frame of data across a communication channel, wherein the frame of data comprises message data, a first control word, a second control word, and a third control word, wherein each of the first control word, the second control word, and the third control word has a unique bit pattern and is associated with a different time interval, and wherein each time interval individually indicates where or when the message data begins or began in the frame of data relative to the respective first, second, or third control word associated with the time interval, wherein the message data in the frame of data is identifiable in response to a receiving device receiving any one of the first, second, and third control words;
• and wherein the first, second, and third control words comprise at least one of i) a first start-of-frame control word and a second start-of-frame control word;
• or ii) a first end-of-frame control word and a second end-of-frame control word.
