Abstract

A method comprising: transmitting a data block that is part of a message, the data block including a plurality of data block symbols; detecting a duration of an end portion of the message, the duration being detected based on a difference between: (i) a time that is allotted for transmitting the message and (ii) a time needed for transmitting the data block as well as any other element of the message that precedes the end portion; and transmitting one or more auxiliary data symbols as part of the end portion of the message, wherein the end portion has a flexible duration that is selected to synchronize a total duration of the message to the time that is allotted for transmitting the message, and wherein each of the data block symbols and each of the auxiliary data symbols is encoded by using pulse-width modulation (PWM).
