METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR AN EXTENDED RANGE ETHERNET LINE CODE
First Claim
1. A method for communication, the method comprising:
- generating one or more ternary encoded bitstreams, wherein said generating comprises mapping 3-bit binary IDLE patterns having a least significant bit of zero to a non-zero ternary value; and
transmitting said generated one or more ternary encoded bitstreams over one or more physical channels.

Abstract
Aspects of a method and system for an extended range Ethernet line code are provided. One or more ternary encoded bitstreams may be generated and transmitted. The generating may comprise mapping 3-bit binary IDLE patterns having a least significant bit of zero to a non-zero ternary value, and mapping 3-bit binary IDLE patterns having a non-zero least significant bit to a ternary zero. The generating may comprise receiving binary data via a media independent interface, mapping each 4-bit portion of said received binary data to a ternary symbol comprising two ternary bits, and transmitting said ternary symbol over said one or more physical channels. Data portions of the one or more ternary encoded bitstreams may be generated by mapping 3-bit binary patterns to 2-bit ternary symbols. One of the nine possible 2-bit ternary symbols may be reserved for control portions of said one or more ternary encoded bitstreams.
