Multiplexing
• Two stations are separated by a distance and are connected through a
transmission media
• The distance could be a few meters or thousands of Kilometers
• Multiplexing is nothing but sharing the common transmission media for
providing connection between number of pairs of parties separated by
the distance
• The number of connecting links through the common media are
termed
as channels
• The frame period is divided into number of slots to accommodate the bits
of each channels
• For a PCM system the frame rate is 8 KHz and the frame period is
125usec

Time Division Multiplexed stream
Composition of slots
• Synchronisation
• carries an unique pattern to identify the start of frame
• Signaling
• carries signaling for the payload slots
• Alarms
• carries link status bits
• Maintenance
• carries maintenance control information
• Payload
• carries the payload - voice or data

Slippage
• Buffer becomes empty if shift out clock is faster than shift in clock
• Buffer becomes full if shift out clock is slower than shift out clock

PCM frames
- 24 channel
- ( 8 x 24 ) + 1 = 193 bits form a frame
- Gross bit rate 1.544Mbps (193 x 8000 )
• European E1 (CEPT)
- 30 voice/data channels
- 1 Sync and 1 Signaling channel
- ( 8 x 32) = 256 bits form a frame
- 16 frames form a super frame
- Gross bit rate ( 8 x 32 ) x 8000 = 2.048 Mbps

Super Frame
• F bit (1st bit in every frame) carry Sync pattern
• odd frames - 101010, even frames - 001110
• Signaling bits (A and B bits)
• every 6th and 12th frames, the LSB bits of every channel is
robbed to carry the A and B signaling bits for that channel

Evolution of Synchronous Digital Hierarchy (SDH)
• High transmission rates
• It meets the ever growing demand for higher bandwidth
• Most suitable technology for backbone networks
• Simplified add & drop functions
• Compared to PDH hierarchy it is very simple to add or drop payloads
• High availability and capacity matching
• Network management functions are built to monitor and control the network
from a central location.
• Leased lines can be switched in a matter of minutes
• Reliability
• Failure of a link does not lead to network failure
• Effective repair mechanisms
• Future-proof platform for new services
• Handle variety of services from POTS, ISDN, ATM and Video on demand
• Interconnections
• Easier to provide connectivity to SONET, and the three regional PDH
hierarchies

SDH frame format
• STM-1 is a sequence of 270 x 9 = 2430 bytes (19,440 bits),
which includes various overhead bytes and an envelope
capacity for transporting payloads

SONET frame format
• STS-1 is a sequence of 810 bytes (6480 bits),
which includes various overhead bytes and an envelope
capacity for transporting payloads
• It has 90 column by 9 row structure. The frame duration
is 125 us
• Transport overhead occupies the first 3 column of 27
bytes
• The remaining 87 columns of 783 bytes are allocated to
synchronous payload (SPE) signal.
• This provides a channel capacity of 50.11 Mbps in the
STS-1 for carrying tributary payloads across the
synchronous payload
