Abstract

Communications systems often use networks including separately located transmitters and exciters for signal transmission. An apparatus and method for synchronization of trellis states in a network are provided. The apparatus and method provide for generating a data stream including at least one training sequence (402), generating trellis initialization information based on the data stream (404), inserting the trellis initialization information into the data stream in a predetermined location (406). The present disclosure further provides for inserting in the data stream a packet for determining when to perform a trellis state reset. In certain embodiments, the packet includes a bit for determining when to selectively disable parity replacement of the data stream to synchronize trellis states across multiple exciters.
