Abstract
Data are transmitted in blocks over a channel together with control signals for coordinating access to the channel. The control signals have the same values as some of the data blocks, these values being selected so that the control signals are spaced throughout the population of data block values and so that there is a greater Hamming distance between the control signal values than between the data signals. The control signals are transmitted between delimiter signals which differ from any of the data block signals, and are passed through a scrambling and encoding system in the same way as data signals, so that the spectrum of radiated electromagnetic emissions from the channel is not affected by the control signals.
