A method and apparatus for performing byte rate adaptation. Specifically, embodiments of the present invention describe a method for deleting bytes when performing byte rate adaptation. The method begins by receiving data at a first rate. The data comprises valid data and deletable data. The data also comprises a plurality of cycles, wherein each cycle comprises a word length of W bytes. The method continues by compressing the plurality of cycles into a compressed cycle by deleting redundant deletable bytes. The compressed cycle comprises at least one valid data byte. Thereafter, the method substitutes remaining deletable bytes in the first compressed cycle with a uniform character, and sends the compressed cycle to a FIFO buffer for further transmission.
