<p>To perform transmission error correction simply by generating an extremely small number of error correction code bits even when the value of N in STM-N becomes large. The sending signal input terminal 21 receives 4 AU-4 signals, and the serial/parallel conversion circuit 22 converts the signals to 8 parallel signals. The number of check bits required for encoding 8 parallel bits is 14. The error correction encoder 231, provided for the first bit, divides a received data stream by a polynomial and sends the resulting remainder to the check bit output terminal 1 as the check bit. The error correction encoders 232 - 238 each calculate the check bits of data streams using the polynomial and send the results to check bit output terminals 2 - 8. The än, kü shortened Hamming code is executed for each bit by inserting these check bits into undefined bytes in the MSOH.</p> |
