Abstract
A method and apparatus for reducing the amount of corrupted data in a system for transmitting encoded data across a network, which system requires sychronization between encoding and decoding nodes, the method and apparatus involving (a) providing an indication of the reliability of the channel between the encoding and decoding nodes; (b) performing automatic resets at the nodes at intervals I; and (c) utilizing the indication of channel reliability to control the interval I. The interval I may be determined, for example, by the error rate on the channel for one or more preceding time interval S, and may be determined at either the encoding or decoding node.
