Abstract
A method and apparatus for transmitting data improves efficiency and guarantees consistency in the data transmission rate. According to the method and apparatus, a data offset byte ( ) is determined for a frame of data to be transmitted. The data offset value is used to modify the data bytes of the data frame to insure that the modified data bytes does not include control bytes ( ) which are sent with the data. The offset value and the modified data bytes are then sent ( ) to a receiver which recovers ( ) the data. Accordingly, only one offset byte must be transmitted for each frame of data.
