Abstract

A method and system for frame synchronization in a digital data transmission . A synchronization word is selected that is suitable for good correlation in a receiver detector. Either traffic bits or control bits are interleaved withi n the synchronization word in a predetermined pattern that is fixed for consecutive frames. The position of the sync word is varied from frame-to- frame. Also, the interleaved bits that are either traffic or control bits varies substantially between consecutive frames.

Claims (21)

1. A method of frame synchronization in a digital data transmission, the method comprising the steps of:
selecting a synchronization word suitable for good correlation in a receiver detector;

2. The method as claimed in claim 1, wherein said interleaving comprises interleaving said control bits, said control bits defining said position, said position varying according to pseudo-random function.
3. The method as claimed in claim 2, wherein said step of interleaving comprises interleaving only said control bits within said synchronization word.
4. The method as claimed in claim 3, wherein additional overhead bits are positioned adjacent said interleaved bits.
5. The method as claimed in claim 4, wherein said additional overhead bits comprise an orderwire word and a radio information link word.
6. The method as claimed in claim 2, further comprising of:

detecting an error in said synchronization word;
confirming that said frame synchronization is valid when said error is detected and said control bits detected match and expected next value from said pseudo-random function.
7. The method as claimed in claim 3, wherein said synchronization word has an autocorrelation characterized by a number of bits that are alike being not larger than n/2+2, where n is the number of synchronization word bits compared.
8. The method as claimed in claim 7, wherein there are 15 said control bits and said synchronization word comprises 49 bits.
9. The method as claimed in claim 2, further comprising a step of scrambling or encrypting said traffic bits using said position determined according to said pseudo-random function.
10. A method as claimed in claim 1 wherein said interleaving comprises interleaving said control bits, said control bits defining said position in the current frame.
11. A method as claimed in claim 1 wherein said interleaving comprises interleaving said control bits, said control bits defining said position in the next frame.
12. A frame synchronization system for a digital transmission, said system comprising:

a pseudo-random number generator for providing a control word including control bits;
an interleaves coupled from said synchronization store and said pseudo-random generator and for interleaving said control bits within said synchronization word in a predetermined pattern that is fixed for consecutive frames and in which the control bits vary substantially between consecutive frames;
the value of said control word defining the position of said synchronization word along a frame; and wherein the position of said synchronization word along said frame varies between consecutive frames.
13. A frame synchronization systems as claimed in claim 12, wherein the value of the control word defines the position of the synchronization word along the current frame.
14. A frame synchronization system as claimed in claim 12 wherein the value of the control word defines the position of the synchronization word along the next frame.
15. A frame synchronization system as claimed in claim 12 further including a traffic data source and a frame builder with the output of the traffic data source, as well as the output from the interleaver coupling to the frame builder.
16. A frame synchronization system as claimed in claim 15 further including a scrambler coupled from the output of the frame builder and a transmitter coupled from the output of the scrambler.
17. A frame synchronization system as claimed in claim 16 wherein said scrambler is controlled in accordance with the output from said pseudo-random. number generator.
18. A frame synchronization system as claimed in claim 16 further including a receiver section including a sync recovery unit, a traffic recovery unit and a validator.
19. A frame synchronization system as claimed in claim 18 further including a receiver for coupling signals to the sync recovery unit and the traffic recovery unit, the output of the sync recovery unit coupling to the validator.
20. A frame synchronization, system as claimed in claim 19 further including an initialization unit coupled from the output of the sync recovery unit and a pseudo-random number generator unit-coupled from the initialization unit and having its output coupled to the validator.
21. A frame synchronization system as claimed in claim 20 further including a descrambler coupled from the output of the validator and the traffic recovery unit, with the date output taken from the output of the descrambler.
