Persistent synchronization within a media oriented systems transport network

摘要

A method of processing data within a controller for a network can include, while frame lock is not established, detecting a first preamble and a second preamble within a data stream of the network (1210, 1235). Biphase units between the first preamble and the second preamble can be counted (1215). Frame lock can be acquired on the data stream responsive to determining that the first preamble and the second preamble are separated by a number of biphase units corresponding to a frame (1235). A synchronization signal indicating that frame lock has been acquired can be output responsive to acquiring frame lock on the data stream (1240).
