Abstract

Protocol testing leads to the synchronization problem should test sequences be applied to multiple distanced testers, namely under the multi-party configuration. This paper presents a novel synchronization paradigm which seamlessly unifies two synchronization techniques, self-synchronizable sequences and external synchronization operations. To demonstrate the viability of the proposed paradigm, we present the generations of two synchronizable sequences: the synchronizable preamble, and the synchronizable distinguishing sequences. The paper shows that the complexities of the two sequences generations are polynomial-bounded
