9. PLL circuit locked on to this reference clock This PLL circuit uses the pulses generated when one bits are transmitted to lock the embedded clock to a local reference oscillator To keep the PLL circuit locked on the extracted clock a certain density of pulses one bits must be guaranteed For North American T1 lines the density requirement dictates that at least one out of every 16 bits must be a one see AT amp T Technical Publication 62411 Another way of stating this is that no more than 15 consecutive zero bits can occur anywhere in the data stream T1 lines were originally intended to carry voice traffic wherein the digitized voice signals could be altered to meet the ones density requirement by forcing every eighth bit of a voice channel to be a one This practice introduces a small but virtually inaudible amount of distortion in the voice signal Digital data streams 35 between two computers are another matter since the corruption of even one data bit causes a packet to be rejected Note that in a typical data packet it is quite easy to produce bit patterns that violate the ones density requirement A random file could easily contain a sequence of bytes that would produce 16 or more consecutive zero bits if transmitted serially There are many different schemes for circumventing the ones density requirement The most common technique simply reserves every eighth bit of the signal for a density bit and forces this bit to be a one
10. These bits are not available for data transmission which means that 12 5 percent of the bandwidth of the T1 line is wasted When you consider that the lease cost for a coast to coast T1 line can be expensive this waste of bandwidth can be unacceptable There are alternatives Bipolar with 8 Zero Substitution One alternative of them uses a special code that transmission equipment can generate when using the AMI signalling scheme This special code depends on the fact that two successive one bits that are represented by pulses of the same polarity result in a signal known as a Bipolar Violation A CSU can be designed so that it will automatically replace any string of eight consecutive zeros with a special code pattern that contains two of Bipolar Violations A compatible receiving CSU recognizes this special code and converts it back to a pattern of eight zeros This technique is known as B8ZS Bipolar with 8 Zero Substitution All CEPT lines the European equivalent of T1 mandate the use of a variant of B8ZS that reduces the density requirement to no more than three consecutive zeros However telephone companies in North America have been slow to adopt B8ZS because it would entail a significant capital investment Therefore the B8ZS solution cannot solve the ones density problem in the short term HDLC Zero Insertion Algorithm An alternative to B8ZS an alternative used by the SunHSI product makes use of the fact that the HDLC framing r
