  • Patent number: 7440475
    Abstract: A first demultiplexer and a second demultiplexer receive and demultiplex STM-64 data to generate parallel data. A FEC frame generating encoder carries out error correction encoding operation in a column direction of the parallel data that constitutes a matrix, adds a resulting error correcting code to the parallel data, carries out error correction encoding operation in a row direction of the parallel data, and further adds a resulting error-correcting code to the parallel data. A first multiplexer and a second multiplexer multiplex the error-correction-encoded parallel data, and output the data as a FEC frame.

  • Patent number: 6959011
    Abstract: The data transmission and reception system comprises a data transmitter and a data receiver. The data transmitter generates and transmits a high-speed serial signal through a transmission path and the data receiver receives the serial signal. The data transmitter, when forming the frame for every tributary signal, inserts into the frame a frame bit indicating a boundary of the frame and, after having formed the frame, performs only a bit synchronization with respect to every tributary signal. On the other hand, the data receiver, for a respective tributary signal, stores a data indicated by the tributary signal and, in a timing based on a detection of the frame bit of the tributary signal and a reference frame pulse commonly issued between tributary signals, outputs the stored data to thereby perform the tributary synchronization.

  • Patent number: 6870859
    Abstract: A multiplex transmission system of tributary signals multiplexes a plurality of tributary signals after adding to them frame information common to all the tributary signals and identification codes different for the individual tributary signals. This makes it possible to solve a problem of a conventional multiplex system of tributary signals in that the transmission rate is limited because it multiplexes a plurality of tributary signals with adding an SOH (section overhead) to generate an STM-N frame to be transmitted and received, which requires a considerable time.
