    Abstract: A telecommunications system (18) comprises a control node (24) and a base station node (22). The control node (24) maintains a first list (42) of idle radio channels which is consulted in order to obtain channels for a first type of telecommunications service. A second list (56) of idle radio channels is maintained for a specialized telecommunications service, the idle radio channels of the second list being radio channels which are unallocated with respect to the specialized telecommunications service but yet activated (e.g., having an established transmission path and synchronization). The second list of idle radio channels is initially consulted in order to obtain channels for the specialized telecommunications service. If no channels are available for the specialized telecommunications service on the second list, idle channels from the first list are adapted and utilized for the specialized telecommunications service. The specialized telecommunications service preferably involves packet data transfer (e.g., GPRS).

    Abstract: In an SDH telecommunications system, a buffer overfill/underfill problem, which is consequent upon either a synchronization failure or an excessive amount of wander, is overcome by detecting such failure or wander and temporarily changing the mode of operation of a de-synchronizer at a terminating end of the SDH path. A Synchronization Status Messaging Byte (SSMB) is used as an indicator of the quality of the incoming bearer timing.

    Abstract: A method for recovering the clock in an ADSL (asymmetric digital subscriber line) communication system at the receiver to match the frequency of the transmitted signal. A digital phase locked loop (DPLL) based clock is used to adjust the frequency of data read accesses from a FIFO (first-in first-out) memory (26) in a transceiver unit. The frequency is adjusted according to a predetermined offset value, where the offset value indicates the relative difference between a read location in the FIFO memory (26) and a write location. The predetermined offset value defines an operating point or nominal data location in the FIFO memory (26). A FIFO phase detector (31) determines and affects the frequency adjustment to maintain the FIFO memory at approximately the operating point. One embodiment provides clock recovery for a received ADSL subchannel and a means to recover a 16 kHz clock for a channel control.

    Abstract: When digitized signals are transmitted from a digital transmission system (NET1), e.g. a PDH system, to another digital transmission system (NET2), e.g. a SDH system, which operate at different clock rates (f.sub.1, f.sub.2), the clock rate must be adapted during the transition. To that end, the digitized signals are converted into discrete-time and value-discrete signals in a decoding unit (D1) at the clock rate (f.sub.1) of the one digital transmission system (NET1). A conversion unit (UE1) converts the discrete-time and value-discrete signals into further discrete-time and value-discrete signals, whose pulse repetition rate is adapted to a clock rate derived from the clock rate (f.sub.2) of the other digital transmission system (NET2). This is achieved e.g. with a low-pass filter (FIL1) and a sample-and-hold device (AH1). An encoding unit (K1) converts the further discrete-time and value-discrete signals into digital signals, whose bit rate is adapted to the clock rate (f.sub.2) of the other digital transmission system (NET2), which allows the digital signals to be transmitted in the other digital transmission system (NET2).

    Abstract: The present invention provides an apparatus of stuff synchronization frame control which can realize great improvement in the power of error resistance of the stuff synchronization control bit when there occur so many erroneous stuff synchronization control bits that cannot be repaired even by the majority process in a radio section. Radio-side and network-side clocks from the clock counters 11 and 12 are compared by the comparator 13, and the comparison result is inputted into the register 14. On an entry of a new stuff synchronization control bit into the register 14, the stuff synchronization control bit in the frame immediately before the entry is stored in the register 15. The multiplexer 16 multiplexes the stuff synchronization control bit together with transmission data for transmission. The separator 21 receives the data separated from the received data, in the received data buffer 22. When the result obtained by majority processing the stuff synchronization control bit in the frame in question has become unfixed, the comparator 23 switches the selector 25 to control the address counter 26 by means of the output from the comparator 24 which the stuff synchronization control bit in the frame immediately after the switching, has entered. The transmission timing to the network side and the reception timing from the radio side are absorbed by the elastic store memory 27.

    Abstract: A data communication system, such as a local area network, is provided with a capability of transmitting isochronous data. Preferably the system conveys both isochronous data and non-isochronous data by time-multiplexing the data into a recurring frame structure on a four-bit nibble basis. An efficient encoding scheme permits transmission of both isochronous and non-isochronous data over existing media, such as twisted pair, without degrading bandwidth previously achieved for non-isochronous data over the same media, such as using an ethernet system. Bandwidth available for a particular isochronous source/sink is selectable and sustainable with a predefined granularity. The arriving data is de-multiplexed at the hub into separate channels for handling the separate streams by appropriate hardware. Preferably, the present invention can be implemented in a fashion that is transparent to already-installed media access controllers. Preferably, some components of the system can detect the frame-transmission capability of other components and, if such capability is lacking, can fall back to a mode compliant with existing capabilities.

    Abstract: On converting an input data signal having a first transmission rate into an output data signal having a second transmission rate different from the first transmission rate, the input data signal is memorized as a memorized input data signal a first memory. A read clock generating circuit generates a read clock signal to read the memorized input data signal as a read data signal out of the first memory. A read control circuit controls the read clock generating circuit to stop generation of the read clock signal in order to make the read data signal have an overhead bit slot at a predetermined period. A rate control circuit produces a rate control signal having a predetermined pattern and an inhibit signal in accordance with the rate control signal. The read clock generating circuit stops generation of the read clock signal in response to the inhibit signal. A multiplexing circuit multiplexes an information signal to the read data signal on the basis of the rate control signal to produce the output data signal. The information signal is representative of whether or not a specific overhead bit slot has a data bit of the input data signal.

    Abstract: A digital bit stream from a first synchronous link is timed by a first clock and is to be sent over a second synchronous link timed by a second clock. A device for justifying the bit stream at regular intervals includes a buffer memory. Respective pointers supply buffer memory write and read addresses. A value indicating how full the buffer memory is is calculated and compared to first and second threshold values to produce a justification command signal. The first and second variable threshold values are determined according to the phase difference between the header of a row received from the first link and the header of a row sent at the same time on the second link. The device finds an application in gateways at the input of and in telecommunication networks using the synchronous digital hierarchy.

    Abstract: A first station is connectable to a second station for transmitting a predetermined fixed amount of data to the second station over a predetermined time period to achieve a predetermined fixed data transmission rate. The predetermined time period consists of a plurality of constituent time periods. An amount of substantive data, which is less than the predetermined fixed amount of data, is transmitted from the first station to the second station in the predetermined time period by transmitting the substantive data during a portion of the constituent time periods and transmitting "null" data during the remainder of the constituent time periods. Thus, over the predetermined time period, the substantive data is transmitted at an effective rate that is less than the predetermined fixed data transmission rate. The null data may be transmitted interspersed with the substantive data, and the determination of how to intersperse the null data with the substantive data may be according to an interpolation algorithm, such as Bresenham's algorithm.
