    摘要: An OC3 to three DS3 SONET multiplexer is provided employing a field programmable gate array and other components in a single Type 400 mechanics card to achieve a form factor that is substantially reduced when compared to existing SONET multiplexers. The OC3 to three DS3 SONET multiplexer has integral optical redundancy and automated provisioning. Manual switches are provided to select continue/drop and line build out for each DS3. Switches are also provided for loopback options. The face plate for the multiplexer provides front access to all of the OC3 and DS3 connectors. The multiplexer is interchangeable with DS3 to DS1 multiplexer cards and WDM cards in a compact M13 SONET enclosure that is particularly useful at wireless cell sites.

    摘要: This proposal outlines an approach for interfacing Synchronous Transfer Mode (STM) and Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) networks and for transporting voice, fax and voice-band data calls by the ATM network in an efficient manner. In contrast to the well known ATM Variable Bit Rate (VBR) approach, this proposal allows one to transport 64 kb/s traffic efficiently over ATM by re-using STM network signaling and exploiting the standard AAL-1-type adaptation layer (intended for Constant Bite Rate, CBR, services). We use low bit rate encoding algorithms and achieve additional compression for speech by marking cells that do not contain talk spurts. The invention defines specific rules for STM-to-ATM interfacing, including all routing translation, and identifies necessary Terminal Adapter (TA) and ATM switch capabilities. This approach is an advancement over previous inventions that specified network architecture and terminal adapter requirements to provide a graceful transition from an STM network (for example the AT&T long distance network) to an ATM network. Prior art described how to emulate an STM network in the ATM domain, but did not permit for compression and silence elimination and, therefore, did not allow achieving efficiency gains.

    摘要: In an ATM over STM transmission system, comprising a transmitter and a receiver, a local clock in the receiver has to be synchronized to a clock in the transmitter. To achieve said synchronization, the receiver comprises timing signal extraction means which generates a timing signal each time a first byte of an ATM cell is received in a first byte of an STM frame. Due to the periodically occurrence of the timing signal this is very suitable for synchronizing a local clock. In an advantageous embodiment of the invention, a timing reference value is transmitted by the transmitter to the receiver. This timing reference signal is temporarily stored in a buffer in the receiver. At the instant the timing signal is present at the output of the timing extraction means the content of the buffer is loaded into the clock counter.

    摘要: A set-top electronics and network interface unit arrangement is connected to an internal digital network interconnecting devices in the home. The digital network operates on a single, nomodulated, baseband channel. Entertainment services are introduced into the network through network interface units that are coupled to an external network and to the internal network. The network interface units perform the necessary interfacing between the external and internal networks, and make the entertainment services available to all terminals connected to the internal network. Set-top electronics that are separate from the network interface units connect to the internal network and convert the information in the digital data stream for display, by a television, for example.

    摘要: A broadband service control point provides processing instructions and data to a broadband session controller and an information sender/receiver. The broadband session controller communicates with a user's settop controller and video information providers, ("VIPs"), and requests processing information from the broadband service control point in response to predetermined triggers. The broadband session controller also instructs the broadband switch network to establish broadband connections between a VIP and a predetermined settop controller. An integrated service control point integrates broadband and telephone networks to provide efficient and effective integrated broadband and telephone services via video interface at a user's remote location. Also, the integrated network provides unique caller identification delivery services.

    摘要: In a transmitting apparatus, information signal frame position information is supplied from a transmission line frame control unit in a frame constructing unit to an information signal frame control unit provided within a frame constructing unit. In a reception apparatus, information signal frame position information is supplied from transmission line frame control unit provided within a frame analyzing unit to an information signal frame synchronization detection protecting unit provided within a frame analyzing unit. n information signal frames having a length which results from dividing the data area of the transmission line frame by n are located at an arbitrary position within the data area of the transmission line frame and a stuff control is effected on every information signal frame. Also, a value of n which yields a stuff ratio in which a residual jitter can be prevented from being increased is selected by transmitting a single information signal by using n information signal frames.

    摘要: A transfer scheme for speech and voice band signals and ISDN digital signals which is capable of reducing a transmission bandwidth required for communications of speech, FAX, voice band data and ISDN digital signals that are to be entered from the STM network to the ATM network, and reducing the ATM cell assembling delay time, is disclosed. In the ATM cell multiplexing at the transmitting side, the signal type judgement results for the signals entered from the STM network are notified to the ATM cell multiplexing unit, and these signals are multiplexed into the ATM cell according to the notified signal types so that it becomes possible to multiplex the signals for each input signal type separately, and it becomes possible to treat the STM signals with different network qualities for different signal types as a single ATM connection in which only the input signals with the same quality requirement are multiplexed within the ATM network.
