<p>A continuous synchronization adjustment algorithm (100) is described, which continuously synchronizes frames used in digital synchronous transmissions. By letting the receiver continuously adjust (122, 126) the assumed frame position, rather than adjusting only once per frame as conventionally done, a significant increase in bit error rate can be achieved. When an incorrect single sync bit is detected (114) in a frame, thereafter during the rest of the frame, the single sync bit positions that would result from an advance or delay of the frame position (e.g., due to a bit slip in the frame) are checked (120). The frame position is then adjusted (122, 126) immediately, without waiting for the beginning of the next frame. Consequently, there is a significant decrease in the number of data bits that are interpreted incorrectly or disregarded. As such, the bit error rate resulting from the present continuous algorithm is significantly improved over that resulting from prior synchronization algorithms.</p> |
