Abstract
We present a time slot sorter which can sort N destination time slot numbers in N time slots of a frame in a system which uses time division multiplexing. The time slot sorter, SN, is obtained from the spatial sorting network, the Batcher network, and consists of a series of 1/2n(n + 1 exchange switches with associated delay elements, N equals 2n. The individual switch settings of SN are determined on-the-fly by pairwise comparison of destination time slot numbers included in the time slots entering each switch. A time slot sorter is more powerful than a time slot permuter in that it can sort N arbitrary destination time slot numbers whereas a time slot permuter can sort a permutation of N integers 0 through N -1. A time slot sorter has an important application in a general switching problem known as the time-space-time domain permutation in telecommunications. Obviously a time slot sorter can also be used as a time slot permuter.© (1993) COPYRIGHT SPIE--The International Society for Optical Engineering.
