Best Answer

A device optioned for B8ZS (Bipolar 8-Zero Substitution) inserts a bipolar violation into any frame containing 8 zeroes in a specific sequence during transmission of that frame. The device at the receiving end simply looks for that specific sequence and changes the bit sequence in that frame back to 8 zeros.

Is B8ZS compatible to E1?

No, E1's use HDB3 instead. HDB3 stands for High Density Bipolar of order 3. In principle, it works in a similar way to B8ZS coding, but substitutes specific bipolar violation patterns to replace any instance of 4 consecutive zero bits (whereas B8ZS uses a specific BPV pattern in place of a frame containing 8 zeros).

How does b8zs work?

A device optioned for B8ZS (Bipolar 8-Zero Substitution) inserts a bipolar violation into any frame containing 8 zeroes in a specific sequence during transmission of that frame. The device at the receiving end simply looks for that specific sequence and changes the bit sequence in that frame back to 8 zeros. For a more complete understanding, it's important to also understand Alternate Mark Inversion (AMI) Line Coding and what a Bipolar Violation means. AMI Line Coding means that each digital '1' bit (also referred to as a 'Mark') uses alternating positive and negative voltage pulses to represent those bits, even if those '1' bits are separated by '0' bits. A Bipolar Violation is when two consecutive '1' bits voilate that AMI rule. Since a DS1 signal depends on a certain level of 1's density to maintain receive synchronization, long strings of '0's can cause timing slips. To prevent this, when a frame containing 8 zero's is transmitted, B8ZS changes bits 4, 5, 7 and 8 into 1's, but bits 5 and 7 will either both be positive or both negative, causing the specific bipolar violation that a receiving device optioned for B8ZS is looking for, and it will change those four bits back to 0's. One other point - B8ZS only comes into play when an 8-bit frame containing all 0's occurs. So, B8ZS isn't really different from AMI, it's more like an enhancement to AMI, with a special condition that only occurs when an all-0's frame is encountered.

What is the line coding scheme used for the DS-1 signal?

the line coding can be either AMI or B8ZS according to how the equipment is set up along the path and at either end.


What is the idea used in the B8ZS scrambling technique?

B8ZS (Bipolar 8-Zero Substitution) Line Coding is used as a technique to maintain 1's density in telecommunications. It isn't really used for scrambling, though it does change specific bits to insert a bipolar violation when a frame of 8 consecutive 0's is transmitted. B8ZS is typically used on DS1 signals, and has become the standard line coding option for most modern telecom equipment involving T1 circuits. Equipment using DS1 signalling depends on a certain number of 1's (referred to as 1's density) to maintain synchronization, since the timing circuits will often derive clocking based on the rising voltage of a digital '1' pulse. Since a digital 0 is represented by a lack of a pulse, the receiving device cannot use 0's to help maintain clocking. A device optioned for B8ZS replaces a frame of eight 0's with one containing four 1's in a specific pattern, including a bipolar violation, which a receiving device (also optioned for B8ZS) will recognize, and will then translate that frame back into eight 0's. But this also helps maintain timing between those devices, due to the 1's being transmitted instead of all zero's.


How does the receiver recover the b8ZS bit sequences to it's original bit sequence?

A device optioned for B8ZS (Bipolar 8-Zero Substitution) inserts a bipolar violation into any frame containing 8 zeroes in a specific sequence during transmission of that frame.

Since a DS1 signal depends on a certain level of 1's density to maintain receive synchronization, long strings of '0's can cause timing slips. To prevent this, when a frame containing 8 zero's is transmitted, B8ZS changes bits 4, 5, 7 and 8 into 1's, but bits 5 and 7 will either both be positive or both negative, causing the specific bipolar violation that a receiving device optioned for B8ZS is looking for, and it will change those four bits back to 0's.

What is the transmission signal coding method for a T1 carrier called?

There are a number of different encoding methods used on T1 lines. Alternate Mark Inversion (AMI), Bipolar With 8-Bit Substitution (B8ZS), and High Density Bipolar Three Code (HDB3).
