Abstract
A method and system for receiving CIMT encoded data transmitted in simplex mode. The receiver (,) is adapted to receive a stream of digital data and analyze successive portions thereof to identify a predetermined pattern of data. The receiver (,) outputs the received digital data in response to a detection of the predetermined pattern of data and, in the alternative, outputs other data in response to a failure to detect the predetermined pattern of data. In the illustrative embodiment, the stream of digital data is transmitted as conditional invert master transition encoded simplex data. The receiver (,) includes a CIMT decoder (,) which analyzes the input data to identify a master transition therein. The receiver (,) uses a local clock to analyze successive portions of the received data stream and word alignment logic to identify a master transition therein. In the best mode, the inventive teachings are implemented in a communications system having a CIMT encoder (,) which transmits a time scrambled flag bit along with a stream of CIMT encoded data. The receiver (,) descrambles the flag bit and uses it to detect the master transition therein in the presence of static data.
