ABSTRACT:
It has been proposed to base advanced Digital Switching networks on a modular array using Digital Switch Modules (DSM). It has been found, for large traffic handling Digital switching systems, that the cross-office delay encountered in multi-stage networks based on 8.times.8 Digital Switching Modules (DSM's) is unacceptably large. To maintain the flexibility provided by the multi-stage concepts a demultiplexing/mixing/remultiplexing stage (DMR) is introduced to replace intermediate DSM ranks. The DMR is used to provide a preset time/space switching function within the total trunking providing the availability of a controlled stage but without the control and delay penalties associated with a fully flexible DSM or the control and link blocking disadvantages associated with a pure space switch. The DMR effectively acts as a pre-programmed or counter driven DSM. By adjusting the degree of DMR function it is possible to provide a very wide range of switch sizes which uses a common organization in the controlled switch stages. The operation of the DMR may be defined in conjuction with a mirror imaging correlation function to provide a constant switch loop delay for duplex connections.
