Rg. Kusyk et al., ANALYSIS OF TECHNIQUES FOR THE REDUCTION OF JITTER CAUSED BY SONET POINTER ADJUSTMENTS, IEEE transactions on communications, 42(2-4), 1994, pp. 2036-2050
Fixed rate, variable rate, and feed forward pointer spreading as well
as stuff threshold modulation (STM) are analyzed as methods for reduci
ng jitter caused by SONET pointer adjustments. Each method of jitter r
eduction is described, theoretical analysis is developed to predict rm
s jitter performance, and simulation results are presented to illustra
te rms and peak-to-peak jitter performance. A new method of implementi
ng feed forward pointer spreading is described in which STM is used to
transmit the synchronizer elastic store phase information.
