Abstract
An apparatus and method is described that allows for improved transmission of EOC data over the EOC channels of communication devices and links, reducing the number of dropped EOC packets and increasing the bandwidth and robustness of the EOC channel. The improved device apparatus and method also allows for the reduction of the overhead of EOC channel error detection and correction on the limited resources of the communication device by aborting a corrupted or blocked EOC packet transmission and automatically resending. The improved device apparatus and method additionally allows the reduction of dropped EOC data packets due to corrupted transmission and the resultant miscommunication and corruption of high-level applications of the communication device, such as operation commands, remote configuration and management programs, and operation displays.
