Transmission system having receiver for recovering words from sequence of symbols

摘要

In a transmission system a sequence of digital symbols including concatenated words, is transmitted by a transmitter (2) via a transmission medium (14) to a receiver (16). In order to reduce the transmission capacity no word synchronizing symbols are introduced in the sequence of digital symbols. In order to achieve word synchronization, a synchronization processor estimates the probability function of one single predetermined string as function of the position of the string in the sequence. The correct position of the words is derived from this probability function.
