摘要:
An arrangement for interfacing between TDM and ATM networks consists of a family of devices that comprises two groups. The first group comprises devices that perform multiplexing, segregation and routing field translation for the respective traffic type. They may also remove or substitute an outermost layer of encapsulation. These first group devices are bi-directional and output buffered with respect to the network. The second device group comprises devices that perform format conversions between the service payload (voice, video or data) and an adaptation layer control format. These second group devices are also bi-directional and buffering depends on the particular function, e.g. real-time, segmentation.

An interface arrangement provides interfacing between a frame based telecommunications network in which traffic is transported in frames and an asynchronous network in which traffic is transported in cells or packets. Each TDM frame supports a plurality of data structures each comprising one or more channels. Credits corresponding to bandwidth entitlement are issued at a substantially constant rate and are assigned to the data structures according to the size of those structures by a connection control. Each data structure is accorded a threshold number of assigned credits, and when this number has been reached, the data structure is assembled into cells or packets for dispatch into the asynchronous network.

The invention relates to a method and apparatus for multiplexing traffic from a plurality of fixed bit rate sources over an ATM network. The traffic from the fixed bit rate users is multiplexed to form a TDM trunk group which is assembled into AAL2 minicells prior to being converted to ATM cells for transmission on the ATM network. By combining the fixed rate traffic sources into a TDM trunk group and then mapping the trunk group into AAL2 minicells, it is possible to improve efficiency of fixed bit rate traffic transmission using the ATM protocol.
摘要:
There is disclosed a method and a system for multiplexing data from a plurality of user data sources across an ATM adaption layer type-2 connection, in which a multiplexed trunk group extends across a plurality of common part sub-layer protocol data unit (CSU-PDU) mini-cells, and across a plurality of ATM cells. Large trunk groups are assembled by use of a single bit continuation indicator in the service specific convergence sub-layer header (SSCS) of successive CPS-PDU mini-cells. A packet payload type field (PPT) of the common part sub-layer (CPS)/service specific convergence sub-layer (SSCS) is used to indicate timing of changes in number of user data sources in a trunk group and provides for robust error recovery on loss of a single CPS-PDU mini-cell.
摘要:
Random bit errors in a digital transmission system in which data is scrambled and subsequently descrambled are detected by parsing the descrambled data into words, determining a syndrome error word for each data word, and determining a parity error word for each data word. A data word is left uncorrected when its corresponding syndrome error and parity error words are both zero. Single bit error correction of a data word is effected when its corresponding syndrome error and parity error words are both non-zero. Double or multiple bit error correction of a data word is effected when its corresponding parity error word is zero and its corresponding syndrome error word is non-zero.
摘要:
A telecommunications system comprises an asynchronous transfer mode (ATM) network having uncommitted bandwidth, and a plurality of adaptive grooming routers (AGR) coupled to the network. The AGRs comprise a group adapted to function as a virtual transit exchange whose fabric and control are distributed over the group. The virtual comprising the AGRs incorporates independent connection control and call routing functions and has means for determining the current system status whereby to set up narrow band connections across the ATM network based on that status determination.
摘要:
A method of adapting synchronous time division multiplexed (TDM) traffic at an interface between a synchronous network in which the traffic is transported in frames identified by corresponding pointers and labels and an asynchronous network in which the adapted traffic is transported in cells, the method comprising mapping said synchronous frames into primary multiplexed groups, mapping each said primary multiplexed group into traffic cells in a respective asynchronous virtual channel, and providing that virtual circuit with a corresponding virtual channel indicator, and wherein said pointers and labels are mapped into one or more separate asynchronous cells for transport ahead or said traffic cells.
摘要:
Communicative services are transported over a TDMA or TDM access network by packetising the services into minicells which minicells are transported within minislots created by subdivision of the TDM time slots. For low bit rate communicative services only, mini-slots are allocated periodically rather than in the blocks that are allocated to high bit rate services. The packetisation delay inherent within the transport layer can be significantly reduced for these low bit rate services.
摘要:
A data structure, such as a telecommunications connection map, comprises at least one list of data elements which are stored in a predetermined sequence of locations of a memory device. The structure is updated by moving a portion of the list through the sequence of memory locations so as to insert a new element into, or delete or change an existing element at, a particular position in the structure while maintaining the order of the list. Elements of the structure are accessed in the sequence in which they are stored and the structure is updated during the accessing of the structure by moving elements through the sequence of memory locations. A particular application of this invention is in maintaining a connection map for a telecommunications switch, the map storing connection instructions defining into which ATM cell payload received narrowband call data is assembled.
