  • Method of detecting signal degradation fault conditions within SONET and SDH signals
    Patent number: 6310911
    Abstract: In a method of detecting signal degradation conditions in synchronous digital signals, the error monitors first detect the presence and/or absence of a particular bit error ratio by integrating received parity errors over time. Subsequently a monitor client reacts to notifications from bit error rate monitors that the state of the presence/absence of specific bit error ratios has changed to generate an alarm condition when appropriate.
