1. A method comprising:
- receiving first and second time points through a header section of a data transmission, a first time point value of the first time point and a second time point value of the second time point each being a fractional portion of a reference time interval defined based on successive clock pulses;
allocating a first logic value to the first time point value and a second logic value to the second time point value;
encoding a first data bit through modulation of a carrier signal during the reference time interval according to;
switching, when the first data bit represents the first logic value, from a first modulation state to a second modulation state at the first time point within the reference time interval; and
switching, when the first data bit represents the second logic value, from the first modulation state to the second modulation state at the second time point within the reference time interval; and
transmitting the modulated carrier signal.
