Abstract
A digital transmission system wherein a signal to be transmitted is represented by a plurality of parallel data bits, each of said data bits having a positional significance ranging from a most significant data bit to a least significant data bit. Each of said data bits are assigned to one of a plurality of data transmission highways based on the positional significance of the data bit. Failure of a particular highway results in a reassignment of the data bits to the highways so that transmission degradation is minimized.
