    at least one overhead bit position,n bit positions of the synchronized data,m bit positions of data received from the packet source arranged as a function of the synchronized data rate, anda plurality of sub-blocks each having a bit position for the synchronized data or a bit position for data received from the packet source;

    assigning the synchronized data and data received from the packet source in bit positions of the frame format; and

    transmitting the assigned data as a single data stream.
