“…Comparison of Inner Codes with (n,q) = (7,8) and N =666 (7,8) sparse + random marker 3 data bits + 4 marker bits (7,8,3) SEC code with 8 AMVs (7,8,4) TVB code Figure 1. Comparison of inner code designs of size (n, q) = (7, 8) with N = 666: a sparse code with random distributed marker from [4], a marker code with 0011/1100 marker bits similar to [5], a SEC code with randomlysequenced AMVs from [15], and the TVB code of Table I. to a drift |S t | ≤ x max , where x max was chosen to be 'several times larger' than the standard deviation of the synchronization drift over one block length, assuming this takes a Gaussian distribution.…”
