SYNCHRONISIERUNGSSCHALTUNGSANORDNUNG

摘要

A synchronizing circuit arrangement included in a multiplexing/demultiplexing unit receives a bit stream coordinated to a data packet. The bit positions and values within a predetermined part of a consecutive bit sequence of each transmitted data packet are constantly selected so that a predetermined check calculation will give a predetermined value (for instance, "0"). A consecutive bit sequence corresponding to the predetermined part of a consecutive bit sequence and belonging to respective received data packets is evaluated in order to establish the extent to which the check calculation gives the predetermined value. When agreement is found, it is assumed that the boundary between two closely adjacent data packets is established via the bit sequence of the predetermined part of a consecutive bit sequence. Each incoming bit stream is synchronized through the medium of a control block or control logic by inserting a time delay corresponding to synchronism into a series-parallel converter for respective bit streams. The synchronized, parallel-format bit streams can be delivered via the control block or control logic to a memory which delivers the bit stream to the outgoing connection via buffer circuits and a parallel-series converter.
