System and method for pathological pattern protection
First Claim
1. A system for protection against pathological patterns in a Frame Synchronous Scrambled network communication, the system comprising:
- at least one transmitter comprising;
at least one pathological pattern detector that detects one or more undesirable bit patterns in an incoming traffic stream; and
at least one bit pattern modification module that modifies the one or more undesirable bit patterns to produce a modified traffic stream;
wherein the at least one transmitter transmits the modified traffic stream.

Abstract
In a frame synchronous scrambled communications network, communications are protected from pathological bit patterns that may lead to loss of receiver lock by detecting a pathological bit pattern in an incoming traffic stream using a pathological pattern detector. When a pathological bit pattern, such as a transition-less bit pattern, is detected, a corrective bit pattern is generated and inserted or substituted into the incoming traffic stream before transmission to the receiver. The receiver can be configured to revert the modified traffic stream back to the original traffic stream.
