Abstract

Chapter 16 discussed the sharing of a single digital communication link or medium among multiple users, and introduced the idea of multiplexing multiple bit streams onto a single link. Practical digital communication networks usually incorporate many such links, and include switching and routing functions as well. This chapter focuses on some specific problems faced in multiplexing — framing and the synchronization of the input bit streams. The issues of synchronization represent the greatest disadvantage of digital communication, as they are largely absent in analog communication.
