METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR RECOVERING A VARIABLE BIT RATE SERVICE CLOCK

摘要

A method of converting a variable bit rate of a transmitted sequence of cells having F cells per frame and a peak cell transmission rate P into an effective peak rate of transmitted cells for each frame. The steps include determining a number of ghost cells for each frame which when added to the actual number of cells in each such frame produce a peak rate of cells for that frame and transmitting in cells of a subsequent frame a number corresponding to the number of ghost cells determined for the preceding frame.
