The techniques utilize the time statistics of the noise bursts, now known to be log-normal, and operate on one-way channels. Two modes of transmission are distinguished. The first mode involves double or triple transmission of an error detection code word. The second mode of transmission is based on burst error correction, provided either by a majority count principle or by the recurrent codes of Hagelbarger. Numerical calculations indicate the superior performance of the error detection techniques.","PeriodicalId":134522,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Communication Technology","volume":"40 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1967-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133388832","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These data are useful in a proposed method for effectively evaluating and designing forward error detection and correction devices using interleaving and block error-correcting codes. The method is based on the strategy of transforming channel burst error patterns into easily corrected randomly distributed errors. The measure of randomness of observed errors is established by comparison with distributions of known randomerror data derived from a computer program simulation. A valid method is established which permits the quantitative evaluation of interleaver performance in terms of effective randomization of burst error patterns.","PeriodicalId":134522,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Communication Technology","volume":"22 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1967-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127538997","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Direct access to memory interface is used to permit automatic switchover of service from one processor to another if the processor fails and to minimize the use of per-line-equipment. Techniques will also be described for message accounting, routing, and processor scheduling, which are independent of machine configuration.","PeriodicalId":134522,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Communication Technology","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1967-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130479195","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This scheme, termed super-loading, makes use of a bifilar wound toroidal inductor having both windings center tapped, with an LC network joining the center taps. This arrangement produces a device that acts as a one-to-one transformer at frequencies where the LC network presents a low impedance and a series inductor when the network impedance is high.
