Abstract
A system and method have been provided for programming synchronization features of a multidimensional digital frame structure. Such a frame structure acts as a digital wrapper and includes overhead, payload, and forward error correction (FEC) sections. Words in the overhead section are used to selectively synchronize the broadcast frame structure at a plurality of network nodes. The described invention permits the frame synchronization bytes (FSBs) to be made programmable, so that the system and method are flexible for changes in communication protocols, as well for the selective exclusion of nodes. This flexibility also impacts the number, the location, bandwidth, and the bit error rate (BER) of the located FSBs.
