Abstract
Abstract A data transmission circuit is disclosed which is arranged so that when transmitting data and control signals of a terminal equipment accommodated in a transmission line of 64 Kbps channels through use of a multi-frame arrangement, the data is assigned to a required number of bits in a predetermined number of frames in the multi-frame or adjacent ones of the predetermined number of bits and at least one synchronization flag bit and various control signals are assigned to the remaining bits but a request to send signal and the synchronization being assigned to one of the remaining bits according to the logic OR of their succeeding sampled values, whereby data of different transmission speeds can be transmitted by the same circuit.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 3
Claim 1
Independent Claim
146 words
In a data transmission circuit accommodated in a transmission line of 64 Kbps channels through a multi-frame arrangement for transmitting data and control signals of a terminal equipment, the improvement in which a predetermined small number of frames of said multi-frame arrangement have assigned thereto a required number of bits, corresponding to data being transmitted, at least one synchronization flag bit and various control signals are assigned to the remaining bits but a request-to-send signal in the control signals is assigned to one of the remaining bits according to a logice OR of succeeding sampled values of the request to send signal, so that data of different transmission speeds can be transmitted by the same circuit, sampling means for effecting sampling of said succeeding sampled values of the request-to-send signal, and means for determining the value of the succeeding request-to-send signals prior to the sampling thereof.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim

Claim 3
Dependent Claim
58 words
A data transmission circuit according to claim 1, in which the data of a higher transfer rate are assigned to successive bits of a required number of bits, while the data of a lower transfer rate equal to half the higher transfer rate are each assigned to adjacent ones of successive bits of a required number of bits.
