Abstract In a transmission system, which includes one or more digital repeaters in a transmission line and a digital multiplex/demultiplex branching unit, a code for supervising the digital repeater or repeaters in an in-service state is transmitted according to a data sequence signal obtained through bit-by-bit time-division multiplexing of at least two different kinds of digital signals. The supervisory code has a configuration of a transmission line code obtained by dividing the digital signals into blocks of bits corresponding in number to the sum (n×m'+1) of the product of the number n of channels of the digital signals and positive odd number m' and one and adding after each of the blocks a number of parity bits (supervisory bits) corresponding to the respective digital signals equal to the number of the channels, i.e., has a bit configuration of n(m'+1)+1.
A transmission system for a digital repeater supervisory code transmission system including at least one digital repeater and a digital multiplex/demultiplex branching unit, in which supervisory bits for said digital repeater supervisory code are transmitted through a transmission line in order to supervise said at least one digital repeater in an in-service state and said supervisory bits to be inserted in data sequences obtained through bit-by-bit time-division multiplexing of at least two different digital channels, so that a consequent transmission line code obtains a configuration of said data sequences which comprises said data sequences divided into blocks of bits in a number corresponding to the sum of the product of the number of said channels and a certain positive odd number and one, and supervisory parity bits for each of said data sequences of said at least two different digital channels, wherein said supervisory parity bits associated with each of said blocks, is adjoined after each of said blocks to form each said data sequence.
