I am not sure but i am thinking its the UART standard. How do i start with this implementation ?

It does sound like a UART format to me too. Worst-case, its RS232 at non-standard voltage levels, and all you need to do is invert the signal to convert it to UART format. You should be able to instantiate an Altera UART - look in the Embedded Peripherals IP Guide.
