Time Division
Code Division
• Then they can be combined as no two channels now occupy the same
portion of the spectrum
• There are gaps between the channels, but there is some overlap
between adjacent channels because the filters do not have sharp edges
+
Frequency Division Multiplexing
• The four beams are combined onto a single shared fiber for
transmission to a distant destination
• At the far end, the beam is split up over as many fibers as there
were on the input side
• Computer data sent over a modem are also analog – these signals are
digitized in the end office by a device called a codec (coder-decoder),
producing a series of 8-bit numbers
• The codec makes 8000 samples per second (125 µsec/sample) and this
is called PCM (Pulse Code Modulation)
• (Nyquist theorem says that this is sufficient to capture all the information
from the 4-kHz telephone channel bandwidth - at a lower sampling rate,
information would be lost; at a higher one, no extra information would
be gained)
• PCM forms the heart of the modern telephone system – due to it all time
intervals within the telephone system are multiples of 125 µsec.

T1 carrier
• In the slide (on the left) four T1 channels are multiplexed onto one T2
channel
• The multiplexing at T2 and above is done bit for bit, rather than byte
for byte with the 24 voice channels that make up a T1 frame
• The CCITT hierarchy for 32, 128, 512, 2048, and 8192
channels runs at speeds of 2.048, 8.848, 34.304, 139.264, and
565.148 Mbps

T-1 Frame Structure

Time Division Multiplexing
• A frame consists of 24 x 8 = 192 bits plus one extra bit for framing,
yielding 193 bits every 125 µsec = gross data rate of 1.544 Mbps
• Normally, the receiver keeps checking this bit to make sure that it
has not lost synchronization
• This carrier has 32 8-bit data samples packed into the basic
125-µsec frame
• Thirty of the channels are used for information and two are
used for signaling - the time slot 0 is devoted to
transmission management and time slot 16 for signaling; the
rest were assigned originally for voice/data transport
