This document specifies the 4b/10b line code with error correction for dependable multimedia data transmission, especially
for real-time communications even in noisy environments, such as IoT devices, wearable
devices, sensor networks, robotics, and spacecraft. This document corresponds to the
functions specified in layer 1 to layer 2 of the OSI reference model ( ISO/IEC 7498 ).
This document aims to facilitate the usage of the 4b/10b line code in complex systems by providing the 4b/10b line code protocol. This document defines the 4b/10b line code protocol for interconnections in complex systems, mainly distributed real-time
systems such as embedded systems, control systems, IoT devices, wearable devices,
sensor networks, amusement systems, robot systems, and spacecraft. Specifically, the
4b/10b line code is the line code that realizes embedded clock, DC balance, error detection, and error correction at the same time, whose functions
are not satisfied by a conventional single line code so that the 4b/10b line code can achieve highly reliable digital communications. The most significant
feature of the 4b/10b line code is that it is a line code with error correction capability. Therefore,
there is no need for error correction in the upper layers, and communication can be
performed using only the 4b/10b line code in noisy environments.
