A block in which a bit pattern or a flag identifies the beginning or end of a block.
Industry:Telecommunications
A bit-oriented Data-Link-Layer protocol used to provide point-to-point and point-to-multipoint transmission of data frames that contain error-control information. Note: ADCCP closely resembles high-level data link control (HDLC) and synchronous data link control (SDLC. )
Industry:Telecommunications
A bit, such as a parity bit, derived from and appended to a bit string for later use in error detection and possibly error correction. 2. A data bit associated with a character or block for the purpose of checking the absence of error within the character or block.
Industry:Telecommunications
A bit used to indicate that more packets in sequence are to be expected by the terminating endpoint. Note: The M bit is set to 1 for all packets except for the last packet of a burst, which is set to 0. It is used to indicate that more packets in sequence are to be expected by the terminating endpoint. This allows the terminating endpoint to recover from packet loss.
Industry:Telecommunications
A bit used to achieve or maintain synchronism. Note: The term "synchronization bit" is usually applied to digital data streams, whereas the term "synchronization pulse" is usually applied to analog signals.
Industry:Telecommunications
A bit used in signaling packets to transfer information on alarm status across a permanent virtual circuit in the direction of transmission from the channelized side to the packetized side. The N/A bit set to 0 indicates normal operation. The N/A bit set to 1 indicates the existence of an alarm on the channelized access facility or error condition on the permanent virtual circuit.
Industry:Telecommunications
A bit used for frame synchronization. 2. In a bit stream, a bit used in determining the beginning or end of a frame. Note 1: The framing bit occurs at a specific position in the frame. Note 2: In a bit stream, framing bits are noninformation bits. Note 3: Framing in a digital signal is usually repetitive.
Industry:Telecommunications
A bit transferred from a source user to a telecommunications system for delivery to a destination user. Note 1: User information bits do not include the overhead bits originated by, or having their primary functional effect within, the telecommunications system. Note 2: User information bits are encoded to form channel bits.
Industry:Telecommunications
A bit delivered to the intended destination user in addition to intended user information bits and delivered overhead bits. Synonym extra bit.
Industry:Telecommunications
A bit that is transferred from the source to the destination within the assigned time slot, but that, when delivered, is of a different value from that sent from the source.
