J.414.5.1 Variant AThe five most significant bits of each sample are protected against errors by means of a parity bit. In the converter ofthe transmitting part, the parity bit is added as the 12th
21、bit to each code word. Its value is fixed so that the 6 bit parity blockalways contains only an odd number of “one” values. In order that even bit error structures can also result in parityviolations, the protected and unprotected bits of each code word are interleaved in ascending and descending se

The parity of “ones” bit shall be even. Since the chord bits (X, Y, Z) always contain a one, the minimum number ofones per sam
23、ple is 2, resulting in a minimum ones density of 1/6.4.5.3 Error concealmentIf a parity violation is detected, an error concealment technique should be applied (for instance, replacement byinterpolation, extrapolation or repetition.

26、Where a 384 kbit/s digital interface is provided, the same principles for fault conditions and subsequent actions asthose outlined in Recommendation G.732 should be followed.4.8.2 Variant BUnder study.5 Equipment using near-instantaneous companding5.1 IntroductionThe equipment described in this sect
27、ion uses the near-instantaneous method of companding in the coding of highquality sound-programme signals into digital form.A two-stage process is used in the encoding equipment:a) Conversion of a 15 kHz channel into a 338 kbit/s stream.Note The value of 338 kbit/s has been chosen to allow for the p
28、ossible multiplexing of 6 channels into a2048 kbit/s dedicated frame format.b) Asynchronous insertion of the 338 kbit/s stream into a 384 kbit/s stream.Note The asynchronous insertion of the 338 kbit/s stream into a 384 kbit/s stream allows the use, at theencoder location, of a clock not necessarily
29、 synchronous to the network clock. It can be advantageous when theencoder equipment and the insertion equipment (see Recommendations G.735 and G.737) are located indifferent places, and when the transmission link between them is unidirectional,and the reverse processes in the decoding equipment.5.2
30、Conversion from 15 kHz to 338 kbit/s5.2.1 Overload levelThe overload level for a sine-wave signal at the zero dB insertion loss frequency (2.1 kHz) of the pre-emphasiscircuit, is + 12 dBm0s.5.2.2 CompandingNear-instantaneous companding is used to achieve a data rate reduction from 14 bits/sample to
31、10 bits/sample. Thesystem codes a block of 32 samples into one of 5 gain ranges, according to the highest value sample in the block. Thecompanding characteristic is shown diagramatically in Figure 2/J.41 and the parameters are specified in Table 2/J.41.6 Fascicle III.6 - Rec. J.415.2.3 Range coding
32、and protectionInformation defining the range used is transmitted over 3 successive blocks as a 7-bit word, increasing to 11 bits in aHamming 7, 11 single error correcting code and distributed throughout the 3 blocks as follows:The five possible values for each of the 3 range codes (one range code fo
33、r each block in the 3 ms frame; seeFigure 3/J.41), are:Range 4 highest signal levelRange 3Range 2Range 1Range 0 lowest signal levelRange codes generated in this way from three successive blocks are designated Ra, Rb and Rc. They are then used tocompute a single 7-bit range code, R, as follows:R = 25
34、Ra + 5Rb + Rc + 1R1 to R7 form the unsigned binary representation of this code which is transmitted LSB first (R1 to R7), followedby 4 protection bits R8 to R11 made up as follows:R8 = ( R3 + R2 + R1) MOD 2R9 = ( R6 + R5 + R4 ) MOD 2R10 = (R7 + R5 + R4 + R2 + R1) MOD 2R11 = (R7 + R6 + R4 + R3 + R1)

J.41 95.2.4 Sample error protection32 bits per frame are used for sample error detection on the basis of 1 parity bit per 3 samples. Odd parity isemployed, i.e., the total number of data bits set to state 1, in the pro
36、tected samples, plus the parity bit is always an oddnumber. The distribution of the parity bits within the frame and the allocation of the parity bits to the samples is shown inFigure 3/J.41 and Table 3/J.41, respectively. Only the 5 most significant bits of the samples are protected. In order to en
37、surethat, if two sequential bits are corrupted, the error can still be detected by the parity checking process, the protected andunprotected bits of each sample are interleaved in descending and ascending order, respectively: 1, 10, 2, 9, 3, 8, 4, 7, 5, 6.LSB is transmitted first and the bits underl
38、ined are those protected by the parity check. Error concealment should be usedand can be achieved, for example, by replacing an erroneous sample value by a sample value calculated by linearinterpolation between adjacent correct samples, or by extrapolation of the previous sample if the following sam

41、ad the 18 or 21 samples protected by each housekeeping word, with the maximum number of other samples between them.5.2.5 Single channel frame formatThree 32 sample blocks, together with various housekeeping bits, form a single channel frame having a bit rate of338 kbit/s and a duration of 3 ms. The
42、number of bits per frame is therefore 3338 = 1014 bits, and these have been allocatedas shown in Table 4/J.41. Figure 3/J.41 illustrates the frame arrangement for a single channel. Two frames are shown inFigure 3/J.41 and this format is referred to as a multiframe. Framing information is reversed, i
43、.e. alternate bits in each frameof the multiframe.10 Fascicle III.6 - Rec. J.415.2.6 Two channels (stereo-pair) formatTwo separate 338 kbit/s streams are used to form a stereo-pair. Each of these bit streams is arranged as shown inFigure 3/J.41. The coders of the stereo-pair must be in synchronizati
44、on. Care must be taken at the receiving end tocompensate for any phase difference between the 2 channels.5.2.7 Synchronization of the 338-kbit/s streamThe 338 kbit/s stream is synchronized to the coder sampling frequency.TABLE 4/J.41Bit allocation in the frameFrame allocation(bits/frame)Bit rate per

46、 two or more consecutive frame alignment words arereceived incorrectly (for this purpose, bits F1 to F7, Frame 0, and bits F8 to F14, Frame 1, are both consideredas frame alignment words: see Figure 3/J.41). An incorrect frame alignment signal is defined as one in whichtwo or more bits are in error.
47、 Realignment shall be achieved when a single frame alignment signal is receivedcorrectly. If this word is a spurious code, a second attempt at realignment shall be made.b) Only bits 1 to 10 of the 14 bit frame alignment word, derived from Frame 0 and Frame 1 (see Figure 3/J.41), aretaken into accoun
48、t at the receiving end. Loss of frame alignment is assumed to have occurred when threeconsecutive frame alignment signals are received incorrectly in their predicted position. When frame alignmentis assumed to have been lost, the automatic frame alignment recovery device will decide that alignment h
