North America's 24-channel modulation PCM (T1), with a rate of 1.544 Mbit/s
European 30-Channel Pulse Code Modulation PCM (E1), with a speed of 2.048 Mbit/s
China adopts the European E1 standard.
A time-division multiplexing frame of E1 (its length t = 125us) is divided into 32 equal time slots, and the time slot number is ch0 ~ Ch31. The time slot ch0 is used for frame synchronization, and the time slot ch16 is used for transmitting signaling ~ Ch15 and ch17 ~ A total of 30 time slots in ch31 are used as 30 channels. Each time slot transmits 8 bits, so the 256bit is shared. 8000 frames are transmitted per second. Therefore, the data rate of group E1 in one PCM Group is 2.048 Mbit/s.
The T1 system used in North America has a total of 24 channels. Each channel sample pulse is coded in 7 bits, followed by a 1-bit signaling code element. Therefore, a channel occupies 8 bits. The frame synchronization code is 1 bit after the 24-way encoding, so that each frame has a total of 1.544 bits. Therefore, the data rate of the T1 group is Mbit/s.
When a higher data rate is required, the multiplexing method can be used. Four groups can form a secondary group.
The following table lists the route number and data rate of each higher-order group:
