MX909A PRELIMINARY INFORMATION
Mobitex¥ Frame Structure cont...
2 bytes of frame sync:
System specific.
2 bytes of control data.
1 byte of FEC code, 4 bits for each of the control bytes:
bits 7-4 (leftmost) operate on the first control byte.
bits 3-0 (rightmost) operate on the second control byte.
Each byte in the Frame Head is transmitted bit 7 (MSB) first to bit 0 (LSB) last.
The Data Block consists of:
18 bytes of data.
2 bytes of CRC calculated from the 18 data bytes.
4 bits of FEC code for each of the data and CRC bytes
The resulting 240 bits are interleaved and scrambled before transmission.
The over air signal is composed of Frame Sync and Bit Sync patterns, Control bytes, and Data Blocks as
shown in Figure 6.
The binary data transferred between the modem and the host µC is shown in the Frame Head and Data Block
of Figure 6 as shaded areas.
