Estimating the term…
A media converter, a system and a method for converting packet based data into serial data and vice versa are provided. The media converter comprises a first interface configured to receive and provide a first type of data stream based on data packets, a second interface configured to receive and provide a second type of data stream based on a continuous serial bit stream, and a signal processor connected to the first and second interfaces and configured to convert said first type of data stream into said second type of data stream and vice versa on the basis of a block encoding/decoding algorithm and a line encoding/decoding algorithm. Thus, enhanced bit error rate may be obtained, thereby allowing the use of optical transmission channels of increased length.
A media converter comprising:
The media converter of 20, wherein said line encoder comprises a control input for receiving said at least one extra bit and is configured to encode said data symbols and said symbols o the basis of said received extra bit.
The media converter of 25, wherein said synchronization state machine comprises an acquisition state for identifying a predefined number of attached synchronization marker symbols.
A method of converting packet based data into serial data and vice versa, the method comprising:
