A method and apparatus for communicating both voice and control data between a communication device (such as a cellular phone) and an external accessory (such as a hands-free kit) over a data bus. The method includes formatting a sequence of bits into a repeating sequence of first time slots and second time slots, transmitting the voice data in the first time slot, and transmitting the control data in the second time slot. Notably, a first bit of each of the second time slots comprises a clock bit that alternates between a high value and a low value (e.g. a `1` or a `0`) as between consecutive second time slots.

[ We claim:] [1.]1. A method of communicating both voice and control data between a communication device and an external accessory over a data bus, the method comprising the steps of:formatting a sequence of bits into a repeating sequence of first time slots and second time slots;transmitting said voice data in said first time slots; transmitting redundant control data in said second time slots;wherein a first bit of each of said second time slots comprises a clock bit that alternates between a high value and a low value as between consecutive second time slots.
