Editing Bit-sequence independence

{{Short description|Telecommunication term}}

In [[telecommunications]], '''bit-sequence independence''' is a characteristic of some [[Digital data|digital]] [[data transmission]]<ref name="Clark">A. P. Clark, "Principles of Digital Data Transmission", Published by Wiley, 1983</ref> as well as  ''digital transmission''<ref>David R. Smith, "Digital Transmission Systems", Kluwer International Publishers, 2003, {{ISBN|1-4020-7587-1}}. See [https://www.amazon.com/dp/1402075871 table-of-contents].</ref> systems that impose no restrictions on, or modification of, the transmitted [[bit]] [[sequence]].

Bit-sequence-independent protocols are in contrast to protocols that reserve certain bit sequences for special meanings, such as the [[flag sequence]], 01111110, for [[HDLC]], [[Synchronous Data Link Control|SDLC]], and [[ADCCP]] protocols.

Bit-sequence-independence allows only line codes that have the same number of transitions per bit, otherwise, the line code is dependent on the bit sequence and, therefore, bit-sequence dependent.
