摘要:
According to the present invention a method and a device is provided for combining at least two data signals having a first data rate into a single data stream having a second data rate being higher than the first data rate for transmission on a shared medium or vice versa, said device comprises at least one port for receiving said at least two data signals and a port addressing unit for extracting data from the data signals received by said ports, wherein said port addressing unit is configured to place the extracted data at predetermined positions in said single data stream to be transmitted on said shared medium and at least one control data insertion unit is provided for placing control data in said single data stream. Thus, a method and device proposed implementing a multiplexing structure in which the data from M parallel low-speed channels are multiplexed onto a data bus operating with M times the data rate of the M low-speed channels. A multiple-stage process where, e.g., 28 T-1 (DS-1) channels are re-mapped into one T-3 (DS-3) channel and 3 T-3 (DS-3) channels are then mapped into an STM-1 frame is advantageously avoided.

Disclosed is an apparatus (9) for processing a sequential stream (10) of fixed length cells, received via a slotted transmission medium (11). This apparatus comprises a demultiplexer (12) employed to provide N sub-streams of fixed length cells out of the sequential stream (10) of fixed length cells. It further comprises N (with N = 2, 3, ...) identical, parallel processing paths (13.x) connected to said demultiplexer (12) such that each of said N sub-streams is fed into another one of said N processing paths (13.x); and the feeling into said processing paths (13.x) taking place in a chronological, staggered manner, the period between a sub-stream being fed into a particular processing path and the next sub-stream being fed into another processing path being identical to the slot duration (T) of the slotted transmission medium (11). The apparatus further comprises a multiplexer (17) for multiplexing sub-streams provided at the output of said N processing paths (13.x) into an output stream (18) of fixed length cells maintaining the sequential cell order of the sequential stream (10) of fixed length cells.

The present invention relates to a device for combining at least two data signals having an input data rate into a single data stream having an output data rate being higher than the input data rate for transmission on a shared medium or vice versa, particularly, to a single SDH/SONET framer capable of handling a large range of SDH/SONET frames from STM-i to STM-j with an aggregated total capacity corresponding to an STM-j frame where i and j are integers in the range from 1 to 64 or higher according to the STM-N definition of the SDH/SONET standards.
