While receiving a stream of framed data, frame synchronization or framing is the process by which incoming frame alignment signals (i.e., a distinctive bit sequences or syncwords), are identified (that is, distinguished from data bits), permitting the data bits within the frame to be extracted for decoding or retransmission.

Famous quotes containing the word frame:
“The warped, distorted frame we have put around every Negro child from birth is around every white child also. Each is on a different side of the frame but each is pinioned there. And ... what cruelly shapes and cripples the personality of one is as cruelly shaping and crippling the personality of the other.”
—Lillian Smith (1897–1966)
