This relates to a voice signal transmitting method and exchange system using this whereby excellent speech quality can be maintained by reducing the celling delay on voice compression and celling/decelling delay on relay-exchanging. Voice compression/framing/celling units 20A, 20B, 20C corresponding to ATM exchanges 10A, 10B, 10C within the network are provided. When a call is made between telephone set 50-1 and telephone set 50-3 or 50-5, voice compression/framing/celling unit 20A distributes the voice signal that is input from PBX 30A to each remote party PBX 30B, 30C; the voice signal distributed to each of these remote stations is compressed, and, at fixed time intervals, only busy channels are multiplexed on to a variable-length TDM frame, this multiplexed frame being then converted into ATM cell form at each PBX 30B, 30C and transferred from ATM exchange 10A to ATM exchange 10B or 10C. |
