A preamble is used if the period between successive transmissions exceeds a preselected threshold. In addition, a parity encoder is used to calculate a parity word for each transmission, said parity word being inserted in the first baud period of the next transmission. This first baud period is usually empty because data signals have not been received yet from the corresponding data transmission equipment. | |
