-To compute the empirical \emph{bit error rate} (BER) of the setup, the data has to be framed on by the sender and the bitstream synchronized on the receiver side. The structure of a data packed used in the implementation is shown in \figref{fig:dataframe}. A frame begins with an user specified \(k\)-byte preamble, that in the current implementation serves as synchronization pattern. Another use case for the preamble sequence could be to introduce channel estimation pilot symbols. Following the preamble are 4 bytes encoded using a (31, 26) Hamming code (plus 1 padding bit), that contain metadata about the packet, namely payload ID and payload length. Because the payload length in bytes is encoded in 21 bits, the maximum payload size is 2 MiB, which together with \(2^5 = 32\) possible unique IDs gives a maximum data transfer with unique frame headers of 64 MiB. These constraints are a result of decisions made to keep the implementation simple.

On the receiver side the bitstream is synchronized using a XOR correlator. To find the synchronization delay \(d\) (in samples) the XOR correlator computes the binary cross correlation
