Hiroshi Yoshida, Yoshitaka Takasaki · IEICE Transactions on Communications · 2004
Application of multipled block codes (MBCs) for realizing new flexible and efficient transmission systems that feature in hunting-free reframing and asynchronous multiplexing is investigated. First, the principles of MBC are overviewed to show the capacities of filterless clock recovery. Then it is shown that modification of simple frame structure of MBC line code can be used for attaining hunting-free reframing for multiplexing systems. Two types of MBCs are developed to this end. While the one uses header blocks for hunting-free reframing, the other uses distributed frame patterns. Header design of multipled block codes (MBC) for hunting-free reframing (HFR) is investigated for frame patterns with and without violation compensation. The feasibility of hunting-free reframing is tested in an experimental system. Application of hunting-free reframing to asynchronous multiplexing is also investigated and tested in an experimental system. Finally, advantages of hunting-free multiplexing systems are discussed.
