Abstract:
A TDM switching system is disclosed which permits PCM transmission between exchanges. Both directions of transmission are regulated at the clock rate of one exchange. Using a particular form of control of one input stage, it is possible to eliminate the need for buffer storage formerly used to compensate for frequency and phase variations.
Abstract:
A TDM system is disclosed for use in multiplex exchanges in which trunk groups are divided into partial groups via switching devices which connect them to crosspoint groups. The switching devices are operated at the system clock rate, thereby eliminating the need for an address memory. The switchingdevices, by dividing the trunk groups into partial groups connected to various crosspoint groups enable a larger percentage of traffic to be switched within the crosspoint groups and thus reduce the need for links between crosspoint groups. Each crosspoint group is wired with the same number of partial groups, so that in case of total failure of a crosspoint group, traffic in all directions is still possible.
