Abstract
The method and apparatus of the present invention provides for the compression and decompression of data bursts wherein the propagation of synchronization errors is limited to a desired number of signal samples and the start of a burst boundary is identified. In accordance with the present invention, a method and apparatus are provided for compressing data in a communication system by receiving data bursts comprising a plurality of uncompressed data packets at a compressor of the communication system, generating a start of burst parameter and a packet size parameter for each of the uncompressed data packets and compressing the data packets. At the decompressor, the compressed data packets are received and when a synchronization error occurs, the packet size parameter is used to limit the propagation of the error to a desired number of samples and to restore the data burst utilizing the start of burst parameter.
