Abstract
An exemplary satellite communication system comprises a service provider unit communicably coupled to a number of subscriber units via satellite transmission. The service provider unit includes an encoder configured to encode source data into a serial transmit sequence, and is further capable of supporting at least two modes of operation. The serial transmit sequence includes a first unique word identifying a first mode of operation, and is followed by a first payload packet having a first number of channel symbols corresponding to a source packet encoded in accordance with the first mode of operation identified by the first unique word. The first payload packet is encapsulated by two unique words and the time interval between the two unique words is used to determine the first mode of operation identified by the first unique word.
