The ITU-T is responsible for studying technical, operating and tariff questions and issuing Recommen- dations on them with a view to standardizing telecommunications on a worldwide basis. Th
5、e World Telecommunication Standardization Conference (WTSC), which meets every four years, establishes the topics for study by the ITU-T Study Groups which, in their turn, produce Recommendations on these topics. The approval of Recommendations by the Members of the ITU-T is covered by the procedure
6、 laid down in WTSC Resolution No. 1 (Helsinki, March 1-12, 1993). ITU-T Recommendation 0.150 was revised by ITU-T Study Group 4 (1993-1996) and was approved under the WTSC Resolution No. 1 procedure on the 12th of May 1996.

This Recommendation defines such items as digital (pseudo-random) test sequences, block sizes for error performance measurements and the criteria for the detection and clearance of loss of frame and of alarm indication signal. 2 References The following Recom

So-called “true“ bit error measurements, during which every error can be detected, can onl
30、y be carried out if the bit sequence of the pattern used for the measurement is exactly known. Because of its random nature, this condition is normally not fulfilled by real traffic. Therefore, it is necessary to specie reproducible test sequences which simulate real traffic as closely as possible.
31、Reproducible test sequences are also a prerequisite to perform end-to-end measurements. Pseudo-random sequences with a length of 2“ - 1 bits are the most common answers to this problem. In addition to strings of n consecutive ZEROs (so-called inverted signai) and n- 1 consecutive ONEs, such sequence
32、s contain any possible combination of ZEROs and ONEs within a string length depending on n. (For the value of n see Clauses 4 and 5.) Pseudo-random sequences of different lengths are specified in this Recommendation. 4 The properties of a test sequence should meet the requirements of the system unde
33、r test. In general, the length of a pseudo-random sequence shall increase with the bit rate at which measurements are performed. This avoids the sequence repetition fiequency becoming too high which would not be in accordance with the situation found in practice. Pseudo-random sequences may be produ
34、ced by means of shift registers with appropriate feedback. If the shift register has n stages, the maximum sequence length will be 2“ - 1 bits. If the digital signal is directly taken from the output of the shift register (non-inverted signal) the longest string of consecutive ZEROs will be equal n
35、- 1. If the signal is inverted, n consecutive ZEROs will be produced. It is possible to generate pseudo-random sequences with these properties by other means than shift registers. Properties of pseudo-random test sequences 4.1 Measurements through scramblers The unit under test may contain scrambler
36、s. This may yield unexpected measurement results if the value n as described in clause 4 has common integer multiples with the number of stages of the scrambler. To reduce the probability that this problem will occur, the value of n for test sequences specified more recently is a prime number. 4.2 L
37、oss of sequence synchronization Bit error measurements using pseudo-random sequences can only be performed if the reference sequence produced on the receiving side of the test Set-up is correctly synchronized to the sequence coming from the object under test. In order to achieve compatible measureme
38、nt results, it is necessary that the sequence synchronization characteristics are specified. The following requirement is applicable to all O-Series Recommendations dealing with error performance measurements using pseudo-random sequences. Sequence synchronization shall be considered to be lost and
39、resynchronization shall be started if: a) the bit error ratio is 2 0.20 during an integration interval of 1 second; or b) it can be unambiguously identified that the test sequence and the reference sequence are out of phase. NOTE - One method to recognize the out-of-phase condition is the evaluation
40、 of the error pattern resulting from the bit-by-bit comparison. If the error pattern has the same structure as the pseudo-random test sequence, the out-of-phase condition is reached. 2 Recommendation 0.150 (05196) STD-ITU-T RECMN O*150-ENGL 177b 48b2591 0b22005 50T 209 - i 21 - 1 215- I 220 - 1 4.3

Special attention should be paid in this case to the length of the test sequence used in the measurement. If the sequence is too short (high se
45、quence repetition frequency), the spectral distribution of the test signal may differ substantially from the properties of real traffic. In this case, the measurement results will not reflect the practical situation. See Annex pJG.823 i in this connection. 5 Digital test sequences used in the O-Seri
