ABSTRACT:
The measurement equipment (SMC) is used in a telecommunication switching system to check if the cell rate of each of a plurality of individual cell streams multiplexed in a same link remains within the limits on the basis of which its multiplexing was allowed. To this end the equipment checks at the end of each measurement interval (MTI) and for a plurality of cell rates [(M-S)/A, (M-S/2)/A, . . .] if the expected probabilities to exceed these cell rates are exceeded or not. In the positive the cell rate is limited by dropping cells. Thus an expected complementary (with respect to 1) cumulative probability distribution function of the cell rate is approximated by a staircase-shaped function.
