SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR COMPRESSING DATA IN A COMMUNICATIONS ENVIRONMENT

摘要

A method for compressing data is provided that includes accumulating a plurality of bits associated with a communications flow and determining whether one or more of the bits correspond to a silence signal associated with a time division multiplexed (TDM) circuit that facilitates propagation of the flow. A predefined silence pattern may be communicated, in place of one or more of the bits, to a next destination when it is determined that one or more of the bits correspond to the silence signal.
