US Patent 11630497 Transmission of pulse power and data over a wire pair

In one embodiment, a method includes applying Forward Error Correction (FEC) to data at power sourcing equipment, transmitting the data and pulse power over a wire pair to a powered device, identifying data transmitted during power transitions between a pulse power on time and a pulse power off time in the pulse power at the powered device, and applying FEC decoding to at least a portion of the data based on said identified power transitions.
