Statistical distribution of PCM framing times
Abstract
The authors evaluate a robust framing technique that incorporates sufficient memory to evaluate simultaneously all bits in a candidate synchronizing codeword. Three performance measures are identified, and the distribution function and mean value are developed in closed form for each measure. Predicted search and maintenance time distributions have been verified by measurements on a laboratory model. Graphs are presented of search time distributions that illustrate the effect of system parameters and variations in the channel error rate.
