Determination of buffer capacity for payload multiplexing in SDH systems

Abstract

This paper presents a method for multiplexing C-3 payload according to the ITU-T recommendations G.707, G.708 and G.709. Our technique eliminates signal rate variations, which occur in various multiplexing structures in the synchronous digital hierarchy (SDH) networks, by using a buffer. Calculations related to the buffer capacity for C-3 payload are also presented in this paper. The proposed methodology is expected to be an efficient solution for multiplexing C-3 and other containers in the SDH networks. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
