    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 establishing an audio one link connection wherein an audio signal is not encoded/decoded in a relay station, loud noises may be produced if the states of two audio tandem relay devices which make a pair during relay are changed from a normal connection state to a relay connection state at different times. In order to solve this problem, comfort noise generators are provided. In detail, when a first pattern signal is detected while a relay call is connected via a relay exchange, switches are switched to be connected at a contact point 1, and a switch is at a contact point 2. Upon detection of a second pattern signal, the switches are connected at the contact points 2, while the switches are connected at the contact points 2. With this arrangement, outputs from the comfort noise generators are selected and outputted during a period from first pattern signal detection to second pattern signal detection, during which the states of the two devices of a pair are different. As a result, occurrence of loud noises is prevented.

    摘要: A communication method for a network where a plurality of communication devices are interconnected and a plurality of pairs of working channels and backup channels are set in two paths between adjacent communication devices to perform 1:1-protection communications. For information traffic of a type where importance determined by the type of information to be transmitted is relatively high, the 1:1-protection communications is performed by using working channels set in one of the two paths when there is no failure, and by switching to backup channels set in the other of the two paths when a failure is detected. For information traffic of a type where the importance is relatively low, communications is performed by using channels other than the working channels set for the information traffic of a type where importance is relatively high, in the two paths, when there is no failure.

    摘要: A redundancy gateway system that can avoid, to the maximum extent, short interruption of data communication caused by system switching in gateway units configured in a multiplex manner for a plurality of systems, and that can maintain the communication state prior to the system switching and avoid degradation of communication quality. A duplicate of a received packet is generated, thereby supplying the packet of the same content to a plurality of gateway units. For each packet, a common write pointer corresponding to identification information appended to the packet is generated. Each of the plurality of gateway units writes the packet to its own jitter buffer in accordance with the common write pointer corresponding to each supplied packet, sequentially reads out the written packet from the jitter buffer, and generates a TDM signal. One of the plurality of gateway units is selectively switched and only the TDM signal generated by the one gateway unit is supplied to a TDM network.
