2、nd-programme signals into a digital signal. Two monophonic digital signals can be combined to form a 384-kbit/ssignal already specified in Recommendation J.41.1.2 Equipment for coding of analogue sound-programme signals, as specified in this Recommendation, can be:a) A stand alone encoder/decoder wi
3、th a digital interface at 384 kbit/s. The encoder operation and the decoderoperation may be performed in two separate equipments or in the same equipment.b) A combined encoder-multiplex decoder-demultiplex with a digital interface at 1544 or 2048 kbit/s. Theencoder-multiplex operation and the decode

Two variants (A and B) ofcharacter signals are allowed.Note In the case of digital interconnection between variants A and B, the conversion from one set of charactersignals to the other set in Table 1/J.41, can be done without any performance degradation. In the case of analogueinterconnec
10、tion, a reduction in the S/N ratio, in the order of 3 dB, is expected.4.2 Bit ratesNominal source coding bit rate (16 kHz 11 bit/sample) 176 kbit/sError protection (16 kHz 1 bit/sample) 16 kbit/sTransmission bit rate per sound-programme signal 192 kbit/sChannel bit rate for 2 sound-programme signals

In theconverte
14、r of the transmitting part, the parity bit is added as the 12th bit to each code word. Its value is fixed so that the6 bit parity block always contains only an odd number of one values. In order that even bit error structures can alsoresult in parity violations, the protected and unprotected bits of
15、 each code word are interleaved in ascending anddescending sequence, as shown in Figure 1/J.41.4.5.2 Variant BThe added parity bit shall be based on the 7 most significant bits of the 11-bit PCM word. These are bits S, X,Y, Z, A, B, C. The parity of “ones” bit shall be even. Since the chord bits (X,
16、 Y, Z) always contain a one, the minimumnumber of ones per sample 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). For
17、multiple parity violation (error bursts), a muting technique should beapplied.4.6 Digital interface at 384 kbit/sUnder study (see Recommendations G.735 and G.737).4.7 SynchronizationThe coding equipment operates in synchronism with the clock of subsequent multiplex equipment or thenetwork clock.

20、eous companding5.1 IntroductionThe equipment described in this section uses the near-instantaneous method of companding in the coding ofmedium quality sound-programme signals into digital form.A two-stage process is used in the encoding equipment:a) Conversion of a 7 kHz channel into a 169 kbit/s st
21、ream.Note The value of 169 kbit/s has been chosen to allow for the possible multiplexing of 12 channels into a2048 kbit/s dedicated frame format.b) Asynchronous insertion of two synchronous 169 kbit/s streams into a 384 kbit/s stream.Note The asynchronous insertion of two synchronous 169 kbit/s stre
22、ams into a 384 kbit/s stream allows theuse, at the encoder location, of a clock not necessarily synchronous to the network clock. It can beadvantageous when the encoder equipment and the insertion equipment (see Recommendations G.735 andG.737) are located in different places, and when the transmissi
23、on link between them is unidirectional,and the reverse processes in the decoding equipment.5.2 Conversion from 7 kHz to 169 kbit/s and constitution of the 338-kbit/s signal5.2.1 Overload levelThe overload level for a sine-wave signal at the zero dB insertion loss frequency (2.1 kHz) of the pre-empha
24、siscircuit is + 12 dBm0s.5.2.2 CompandingThe same near-instantaneous companding procedure with a block of 32 samples (2 ms) as described in 5.2.2of Recommendation J.41, is used. The character signal is coded in 2s complement form.5.2.3 Constitution of the 338-kbit/s signalTwo 7-kHz channels (C1 and
25、C2) are contained in one 338-kbit/s stream. The frame structure of the 338 kbit/sstream is defined in 5.2.5 and in Figure 3/J.41. The following numbering of the samples within a given multiframe isdefined as follows (see Figure 3/J.41):Sample n of the multiframe is sample (n 96i) of frame i0 n 191 i
26、 = 0 or 1Using the above notation, the following relationship between the bits of the 338 kbit/s multiframe and channelsC1 and C2 can be defined:Sample 2n of the multiframe corresponds to sample n of channel C1Sample (2n + 1) of the multiframe corresponds to sample n of channel C20 n 9 5Range coding
27、 information associated with block (2n 1) of the multiframe is allocated to block n of channelC1 (derived from C1 samples in blocks (2n 1) and (2n) of the multiframe).4 Fascicle III.6 - Rec. J.42Range coding information associated with block (2n) of the multiframe is allocated to block n of channel

29、 loss and recovery of frame alignment at 338 kbit/s is defined in 5.2.8 of RecommendationJ.41.5.3 Conversion from 338 kbit/s to 383 kbit/sSee Recommendation J.41, 5.3.5.4 Digital interface at 384 kbit/sUnder study.5.5 Fault conditions and consequent actionUnder study.6 Digital interface between equipments using different coding standardsUnder studyReferences1 CCIR Recommandation Transmission of analogue high-quality sound-programme signals on mixed analogueand digital circuits using 384 kbit/s channels, Vol. XII, Rec. 660, ITU, Geneva, 1986.
