METHOD AND EQUIPMENT FOR ELASTIC BUFFERING IN A SYNCHRONOUS DIGITAL TELECOMMUNICATION SYSTEM

摘要

The invention relates to a method and an equipment for elastic buffering in a synchronous digital telecommunication system, such as the SDH or SONET system. In order to allow elastic buffering with less hardware than previously and a more efficient use of RAM memory blocks than previously in the process, the elastic buffering of at least two signals of the same level of hierarchy is performed on a time-division basis in a buffer memory (101) common to said signals.
