Method and apparatus to facilitate message transmission and reception using different transmission characteristics
First Claim
1. A method comprising:
- providing a message content that includes a rolling code;
selecting from a plurality of different transmission characteristics a transmission characteristic based at least in part on at least a portion of the rolling code of the message content, the selected transmission characteristic including a data order;
selecting from a plurality of different recovery identifiers a particular recovery identifier correlated to the selected transmission characteristic, the selected recovery identifier including a data order identifier; and
wirelessly transmitting from a transmitter of a remote control to a movable barrier operator a message comprising a contiguous aggregation of the message content and the selected recovery identifier as uniquely corresponds to the selected transmission characteristic,wherein the message is configured to allow a receiver of the movable barrier operator to configure itself in response to receipt of the message.

Abstract
Upon providing (101) message content (such as a remote control instruction) to be transmitted, and in conjunction with provision (102) of a plurality of different transmission characteristics (as correspond, for example, to different types of transmission) and a corresponding plurality of correlated recovery identifiers (103), a particular transmission characteristic is selected (104) and used to transmit (105) a joint message. In particular, in a preferred approach, the selected transmission characteristic (106) is used when transmitting at least a portion of the message content portion of the joint message while another part of the joint message carries the recovery identifier to thereby facilitate selection of an appropriate reception technique by a receiver when receiving the joint message.
