Abstract
A system and method have been provided to segment communications between relay nodes in a network using digitally wrapped, or frame structure communications. The overhead bytes in the frame are given special functions, to enable processes such as synchronization or an auxiliary communications channel. Overhead byte quantities, locations, values, or combinations of the above are used to signal the processes. Nodes in the network can be selectively programmed to recognize the overhead byte signals that trigger the processes.
