7.2.6 Multiframe Synchronization
As specified by ITU-T I.430, the Q bit is transmitted from TE to NT in the position normally occupied
by the auxiliary framing bit (FA) in one frame out of 5, whereas the S bit is transmitted from NT to TE.
The S and Q bit positions and multiframe structure are shown in Table 7.6.
The functions provided by W6692 are:
-
Multiframe synchronization: Synchronization is achived when the M bit pattern has been
correctly received during 20 consecutive frames starting from frame number 1.
Note: Criterion for multiframe synchronization is not defined in I.430 Recommendation.
-
S bits receive and detect: When synchronization is achieved, the four received S bits in
frames 1, 6, 11, 16 are stored as S1 to S4 in the SQR register respectively. A change in the
recived four bits (S1-4) is indicated by an interrupt (ISC in D_EXIR register and SCC in CIR
register).
-
Multiframe synchronization monitoring: Multiframe synchronization is constantly monitored.
The synchronization state is indicated by the MSYN bit in the SQR register.
-
Q bits transmit and F
A
mirroring: When multiframe synchronization is achived, the four bits
Q1-4 stored in the SQXR register are transmitted as the four Q bits (F
A
-bit position) in frames
1, 6, 11 and 16. Otherwise the F
A
bit transmitted is a mirror of the received F
A
-bit. At loss of
synchronization, the mirroring is resumed at the next F
A
-bit.
-
The multiframe synchronization can be disabled by setting MFD bit in the D_MODE register.
-
According to I.430 Recommendation, the S/Q channel can be used as operation and
maintenance signalling channel. At transmitter, a S/Q code for a message shall be repeated at
least six times or as many as necessary to obtain the desired response. At receiver, a
message shall be considered received only when the proper codes is received three
consecutive times.
