Abstract
A time/space switching component is provided with multiple functionality that is essentially composed of a time switching unit (AMUXN, SMN), of a space switching unit (LM, RKMUXM). of a data channel sequence correction unit (BPMUXN, BPN, STN) and of a control unit (CMM). As a result of corresponding mode selection, one thus obtains the different functionalities for a switching network with a single component, resulting in a significant reduction in an overall expenditure for development and manufacture.
Claims17
A time/space switching component with multiple functionality comprising:
- a time switching unit for a time allocation of a plurality of data channels;
- a space switching unit for a space allocation of said plurality of data channels;
- a data channel sequence correction unit correcting a time sequence of said plurality of data channels;
- and
- a control unit driving a unit selected from the group consisting of said time switching unit, said space switching unit and said data channel sequence correction unit dependent on a selected operating mode.
