Abstract
Efficient codeword synchronization methods and systems for fiber channel protocol are disclosed. The method includes identifying a codeword boundary by detecting 100-bit known patterns in a bit codeword in a transmission.
Claims11
A method of codeword synchronization in a transmission over a network, comprising:
- identifying a codeword boundary by detecting known patterns in a bit codeword in the transmission;
- and
- sampling bit data from a fiber channel (FC) link, wherein the bit data is used to detect the known patterns for all candidate positions in the bit codeword.
A method of codeword synchronization in a transmission over a network, comprising:
- detecting dedicated bit patterns for bit data in each transmission word of a codeword to determine a boundary of the codeword;
- and
- detecting a known pattern on candidate bits from input data candidate bits and recording the detected results of the candidate bits in a pattern found counter.
