Introduction
B channel ( 2B + D ) B8ZS
Abbreviations :
CCC, clear channel capability;
B = 64 Kbps voice or data channel;
DDS, digital data services;
D = 16 Kbps signaling or data channel
Time-Division Multiplexing ( TDM )
B channel ( 2B + D ) AMI
• RN and NRZ
o For both methods, the signal alternates between a
positive ( +V ) and a negative ( -V ) voltage
o Logic “1” : positive voltage
o Logic “0” : negative voltage
o For NRZ, transitions between logic “0” and logic “1”,
and vice versa, are directly crossing the zero voltage
level
o For RZ : transitions between logic “0” and logic “1”, and
vice versa, stay temporarily on the zero voltage level

Hierarchical Multiplexing
Multiplexing in North America
• FR is a packet service.
• Design philosophy is similar to that of a highway with
ramps on and off.
o At the ramps, any car, small or large, may approach
the highway at a slower speed.
o Once on the highway, one can travel any length of the
highway and as fast as the limit.
o So highway is equally accessible and shareable by all.
• In FR, the ramps are the access points and the number of
lances determines the bandwidth of the FR system.
o FR is a shared-bandwidth solution that takes
advantage of traffic pattern variability and
oversubscription to provide a cost-effective data
service.
Frame Relay ( FR )
Introduction
Introduction
• Reduced cost:
o It lowers operations cost
o It has the same interface for all vendors
• Integrated network elements
o It allows for multi-vendor internetworking
o It has enhanced network element management
• Remote operations capabilities : provision, test, inventory,
customize, and reconfigured
• It offers network survivability features.
• It is compatible with legacy and future networks
