Synchronous Data Compression Feature
Document Number 3980-A2-GZ40-20
November 1996
Overview
The Paradyne proprietary Synchronous Data Compression (SDC) feature allows an increase of throughput in data
transmission, and has an error correcting procedure so that transmitted data is less sensitive to channel
disturbances.
The ITU-T recommendations V.42bis and V.42 have data compression and error correcting (EC) procedures for
DCEs connected to asynchronous DTEs. These

Synchronous Data Format The SDC feature supports the High-level Data Link Control (HDLC) and Synchronous Data Link Control (SDLC) type protocols for synchronous DTE data. An HDLC frame is composed of an information field containing the data to transmit, plus an overhead (address, control, and FCS fields) used by the DTE protocol. Flags opening and closing the HDLC frame serve as frame delimiters (Figure 3). FLAG ADDRESS CONTROL INFORMATION FCS FLAG 495-14783 Figure 3. Synchronous Data Format A 3

Data Synchronization Data exchanged between the synchronous DTE and the modem is synchronized by two clock signals. Data coming from the DTE is synchronized by the transmit clock and data received by the DTE is synchronized by the receive clock. The transmit clock is provided by the modem on circuit 114 or by the synchronous DTE on circuit 113. The receive clock is provided by the modem on circuit 115. When the transmit clock is provided by the modem, the transmit and receive clocks are locked

Flow Control Method The data transmitted from the DTE is sent to the DCE at a rate determined by the transmit clock frequency. When SDC is active, this data is then compressed in the DCE and sent to the remote DCE at the line rate less than the rate between the DTE and DCE (usually twice, three, or four times less). If the data sent by the DTE is not compressible, or bad line conditions cause retransmissions between the two DCEs, then the transmitting DCE must indicate to the transmitting DTE it
