Procedure and arrangement for the communication of STM-information through ATM-switching exchanges

Abstract

Abstract A telecommunication network consists in preferably predominant number of ATM switches (ATM) and in preferably low number of STM switches (STM). To reduce the packetising time for the through connection, information coming from an STM switch (for example STM1) and to be switched to another STM switch (for example STMy) via an ATM switch (for example ATM1) are packetised by the ATM switch (ATM1) into information cells of the same length as the information cells used for the transmission between ATM switches, in which arrangement, however, information sections of several STM time slots (K1 to K4) which are to be connected through to the same ATM switch output, are multiplexed in one information cell. <IMAGE>
