Abstract
A method of sequencing a plurality of cells in a superframe consisting of a plurality of frames in a temporal sequence comprises the steps of assigning one of the frames as a marker frame, assigning one of the time multiplexed cells in the marker frame as a marker cell, and coding the header bytes in the marker cell with header data. Alternatively, each of the time multiplexed cells may contain the header data without designating a marker cell.
