Explain why framing and synchronization are important in a TDM system.

What will be an ideal response?


TDM requires that a demultiplexor stays synchronized with the multiplexor. Because a
demultiplexor cannot tell where a slot begins, a slight difference in the clocks used to time bits can
cause a demultiplexor to misinterpret the bit stream. To prevent misinterpretation, TDM used in the
phone system includes an extra framing channel as input. Instead of taking a complete slot, framing
inserts a single bit in the stream on each round.
