Data transmission framing

1. A device comprising:

a processor configured to generate a palindromic sequence associated with a unique identifier (ID) associated with the device, and provide the generated palindromic sequence to a transmitter, the palindromic sequence including forward order of bits, reverse order of bits and a spacer bit; and

the transmitter configured to repeatedly transmit the generated palindromic sequence to a receiver external to the device, wherein the transmitter is configured to transmit a signal associated with the generated palindromic sequence.

2. The device of claim 1 , wherein the transmitter comprises an optical unit that is configured to generate photons for transmission, wherein the signal is transmitted using the generated photons.

3. The device of claim 1 , wherein the transmission of the palindromic sequence is followed immediately by the transmission of another palindromic sequence, wherein the another palindromic sequence is the same as the palindromic sequence.

4. The device of claim 1 , wherein the transmitter includes Extremely Low-Resource Optical Identifier (ELROI) beacon and wherein the ID is associated with the ELROI.

5. The device of claim 1 , wherein the processor is configured to expand a number of bits in the ID to a larger number of bits.

6. The device of claim 5 , wherein the palindromic sequence is generated from the expanded number of bits.

7. The device of claim 6 , wherein the palindromic sequence includes the expanded bits in forward order immediately followed by the reverse order immediately followed by the spacer bit.

8. The device of claim 1 , wherein the device is a satellite orbiting the earth.
