Abstract

Transmission speeds are becoming increasingly faster, requiring transmission techniques that enable optimal utilization of the relevant transmission medium. Cables are used as a transmission medium in loops. Transmission rates need to be adapted to the bandwidth of the cable, even during operation.
Transmission methods used in prior art can only meet such requirements to a limited extent. The invention provides a remedy to this problem by transmitting information signals (D) and control signals (SCM) in a frame structure with variably adjustable speeds and the control signals (M) can be used to adapt the transmission speed to the cable and to meet the requirements of subscribers.

Description Method for transmitting information signdl~ in the subsc~iLer line domain.
The invention relates tV a method in acc.ort3anCe with the prechard~terizing clause of patent claim 1.
A3 transmission speeds ountinually increase, It is »seiul to use tran3miESion techniques which permit optimum utilizafiinn Of the transmission medium. Tn the subscriber liue domain, the transmission mediul'n used io cablca. Opt~mmm u'CiliZaLiVii is achieved when the transmission rate has been mafi.c:hed to the Rdmclwidth. of the cable. This circumstac~~:e has alroady been taken into account in the bit-oriented UEH l.tansmission techniqt~P_ With this tZan3mis3ion technique, however, it is not por~oible to transmit additional iuFormation, sur_.h as COntr01 icitvimation fox the user data, for example.
In additi~m, the IISDL transmission method is known as a stxuctttrPd baseband tectmi~ue in the prior art. However, t~tie transmi33ion rate cannot. be matched to the cable with this method, wlii~l~ means that the necessary clrcuiL r:vmplenity and costs are high for all GJ subscribers (even wi f:h a short cable or low demandE on the transrni5siom rate).
The in«Pnt:l. on is based um the obj cct of demonstrW rug a way of being ahle Lo tran5u~i L

The object ie achieved, nn the ba5i~ of the precharart:Prizirig clause ~f patent claim 1, by t-.he c:liaracteri~ing features of said Claim.

To ~:hi3 erid, the counter PrnduCine~ the ~t kHz ClOCk ~iynal i~ in turn triggered Ly the start of the euperframe, which is lilcewise ariPquate. At a trarismlssiuii rate of 6d kt~i t/s, the Liiggering occurs after each 4lith 8 kHz period.
Tlre auperframe is termed by a frame sync wr~r~1 which rPrmits unique allocation of the single frames and, to this end, is evaluated and monitored by the synchrnni2ation devi~c at the recept-i~n end. By ~luanging the frame structure (e.g. doubling the lengths), it is also poosibl~ to implement otlm~ n multiplex of 64 khit/s, A single frame has 52 bits in this case. OL the 52 bits, a total nt 4f3 user datz~ bits arc provided and 4 tufther bits. The latter include the sync bit S, 2 management bits M and a CRC hi l: C. The latter is ~ispd for error ~uu~eitoring. Eight sync hi is form the frame oync woxd which is received and evaluated at ~:he reception end. If the rec~ei~rar receives d frame sync word in full, the frame structure can be restorr~d_ The text below c~emoristrates how the transmission speed is cliaugGd during the transmission operation.

At the same time as thin, the tr~rmi.nal T9 inc.rpaseS the speed.
When one of tr,P tran5uti.ssion devices i ncreases the speed, Whettmr it be the mul t.iplex device ox the Lerminal, the synchronism im the remote station , 1s lost_ To this extent, the rem~r.e station necdE to search for new synchronism.

In the ease of ~zroneou;, transmission (e.q.

The synchronism between the [lacuna) is thus lost-. After a prescribed time, the original speed is adopted again.
