Abstract
In a data transmission system, an encoder provides a bitstream having a sequence of frame segments, wherein each frame segment has a bit size which is limited by the encoder to a maximum bit size. A transmission channel is provided which has a channel rate sufficient to transmit a frame segment of maximum bit size within a frame interval. A burst transmitter receives the bitstream from the encoder and transmits each consecutive frame segment, at regular frame intervals, in a burst at the channel rate via the transmission channel, to provide a bursty bitstream over the transmission channel.
