摘要:
A transmission line control processor performs various processes in response to requests of a call processor for capture, allotment, and release of a subscriber line or an inter-station line. Additionally, in response to requests of the call processor for a reservation, connection, and disconnection of a path, the transmission line control processor instructs an ATM switch to connect or disconnect the path. These processes can be performed using with the existing functions of ordinary call processors, and such complicated processes as the management of bands at ATM switches are executed exclusively by a transmission line control processor.

The communication system includes a converting device, connected to the transmitting terminal or the receiving terminal, for performing a bi-directional conversion between a variable-length packet and the fixed-length cells, the transmitting terminal or the receiving terminal outputting the variable-length packet, a buffer capacity monitoring device in the receiving terminal for monitoring a capacity of a buffer in the receiving terminal receiving the fixed-length cells and for outputting an alarm signal at the time of detecting a congestion state of the capacity of the buffer, a congestion state alerting device in the receiving terminal responsive to the alarm signal from the buffer capacity monitoring device for outputting an alert signal to the transmitting terminal, and a traffic transmission control device in the transmitting terminal responsive to the alert signal from the congestion state alerting device in the receiving terminal for controlling a transmission of the fixed-length cells to the receiving terminal.
摘要:
An optical space switch is formed in such a manner that switch elements having two inputs and two outputs are arranged in an n.times.n matrix form and optical signals from n input highways are switched to n output highways. The switch elements are connected in such a manner that the optical signals are always passed through the same number of switch elements, from the input highways to the output highways.
摘要:
The object of the present invention is accomodating local connectionless information (data that is immediately transferred without establishing a path to a receive side), such as LAN data in a local area network, by an asynchronous transfer mode (ATM) network using a connection-oriented communication system (which makes data transfers after verifying that a path to the receive side has been established), thereby performing efficient, fast routing of connectionless information. A connectionless communication system of the present invention is equipped with connectionless information cell assembly/deassembly means for bi-directional conversion between variable-length connectionless information and fixed-length connectionless cells, routing control means for analyzing a destination address of information in connectionless cells and controlling the routing of the connectionless cells; and an ATM network for connecting the connectionless information cell assembly/deassembly means and the routing control means by a permanent virtual channel serving as a fixed path and connecting the routing control means together by a virtual channel serving as a semi-fixed path, whereby connectionless information is segmented into connectionless cells and the connectionless information is exchanged within the ATM network in connectionless cell units.
摘要:
An Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) cell error processing system includes a plurality of error detectors for respectively detecting predetermined cell errors and for respectively generating decision signals and an error editing unit which is operatively coupled to the error detector and determines, based on the decision signals, whether or not a cell related to the decision signals should be discarded. A buffer, which is coupled to at least one of the error detectors, temporarily stores the cell. An error cell discarding unit, which is coupled to the error editing unit and the buffer, discards the cell from the buffer when the error editing unit determines that the cell should be discarded and relays the cell when the error editing unit determines that the cell should not be discarded.
摘要:
A test cell generating section periodically generates a pass determining test cell at preset timing, multiplexes them with user cells from a user line interface, and transmits the result of multiplexing to an ATM exchange. When no user cell is supplied from the user line interface, the test cell generating section transmits only the pass determining test cell to the ATM exchange. A cell determining section determines whether a cell supplied from the ATM exchange is a user cell or test cell, identifies/determines the pass based on information of the test cell and outputs only the user cell to the user line side when the supplied cell is the test cell.
摘要:
A switch interface unit, a monitor unit, and a control system interface unit are connected as external units to a highway to which a subscriber information processing unit is also connected so that a monitoring process, that is, a special study process, can be simplified and a cost charged for the subscriber information processing unit can be prevented from increasing greatly. Furthermore, in an accounting process, accounting parameters are accumulated in an accounting information accumulating unit for variations on compressed source addresses, not on source addresses. As a result, the accounting information accumulating unit, etc. can be realized with normal circuit elements only.

A self-routing switching system including a route setting unit (10) which receives transmission information and identification information given from incoming lines and forms, from the identification information, control information for setting a path to one outgoing line to which the transmission information is to be transferred, and a self-routing speech path (20) which can form a plurality of paths and which selects the most suitable one therefrom by the control information and autonomously guides the transmission information to the destination outgoing line.
摘要:
A switching path setting system is disposed between an input line connected to switching equipment and a switch. An input interface device allocates a cell to a quality class as tag information corresponding to an identifier of the cell. A quality class buffer stores the cell corresponding to the quality class allocated by the input interface device corresponding to the quality class. A cell is read from the quality class buffer at a band allocated to each quality class.
