AIS_state (AIS)
LOP_state (LOP)
The transition between states will be consecutive events (indications), e.g., three
consecutive AIS indications to go from the NORM_state to the AIS_state. The
kind and number of consecutive indications activating a transition is chosen such
that the behaviour is stable and insensitive to low BER. The only transition on a
single event is the one from the AIS_state to the NORM_state after receiving a
NDF enabled with a valid pointer value. It should be noted that, since the
algorithm only contains transitions based on consecutive indications, this implies
that, for example, non-consecutively received invalid indications do not activate
the transitions to the LOP_state.
