Abstract
The present disclosure describes apparatuses and methods for adaptive frame alignment for a receiver. In some aspects, an adaptive frame aligner detects a failure by a decoder to decode a frame of symbols that are stored in a buffer. In response to the failure to decode, the adaptive frame aligner alters a pointer of the buffer to realign the symbols of a subsequent frame. The decoder can then attempt to decode the realigned symbols of the subsequent frame to provide decoded data of the subsequent frame. If the decoding attempt fails, the adaptive frame aligner can alter the pointer again to provide a different realignment of the symbols of another subsequent frame and may repeat this process until the decoder is able to decode the realigned symbols of a frame. By so doing, the adaptive frame aligner may enable the decoder to decoder the frame without retraining a data link.
