Abstract

Systems and methods are provided for encoding and decoding. An encoder receives packets including control symbols from a plurality of independent data sources. The encoder produces a combination packet having a plurality of control symbols at arbitrary locations within the combination packet. The combination packet includes a sync header field to identify the combination packet as containing the plurality of control symbols, a block type field to locate the plurality of control symbols, and the plurality of control symbols. A corresponding decoder performs decoding.
