Abstract

In a data processing system wherein a binary data message is protected by cyclic check codes, synchronization loss tolerance is incorporated by performing a binary transformation after encoding the message but prior to transmitting it or writing it to storage and by performing an inverse binary transformation upon receiving it or reading it from storage but prior to error checking. In one embodiment the transformation involves complementing a plurality of bits. In an alternate embodiment the transformation involves reversing the sequence of a plurality of contiguous bits.
