can be used at separate user-to-network interfaces to provide access to a variety<strong>of</strong> communication modes within the ISDN. For example, two B-channels maybe attached to each other via network-provided circuit-switched or packetswitchedconnections, or by permanent or temporary connections based oncircuit switching or packet switching.The C-channel is primarily assigned to telemetry <strong>and</strong> packet-switcheddata. The channel may have a variable data rate, <strong>and</strong> by virtue <strong>of</strong> its layeredprotocol may be mixed with signalling information for an analog channel.More is said about ‘‘layered protocols’’ ahead.The D-channel primary function is to carry signalling information forthe control <strong>of</strong> circuit-switched connections involving one or more B-channelsbetween the end user <strong>and</strong> the network. Two types <strong>of</strong> D-channels have beendefined: layered protocols <strong>and</strong> X.25. Both operate at synchronous data rates <strong>of</strong>either 16 kbit=sec or 64 kbit=sec in full duplex.The E-channel is a 64 kbit=sec channel intended to transmit signallinginformation for circuit-switched ISDN. It may be used for multiplexing <strong>and</strong>providing multiple-access interfaces.The H-channel is designed for a variety <strong>of</strong> user information functionswith channel capacity greater than the B-channel’s. Currently, there are fourtypes <strong>of</strong> H-channels: H0, H1, H2 <strong>and</strong> H4 with successively higher rates (seeTable 8.1.) Channels H1 <strong>and</strong> H2 exist in two versions: denoted as H11 <strong>and</strong>H12, <strong>and</strong> H21 <strong>and</strong> H22.The H0-channel operates at a full duplex synchronous data rate, sixtimes the B-channel rate, which is a submultiple <strong>of</strong> CCITT multiplexstructures (for example, 1.544 Mbit=sec <strong>and</strong> 2.048 Mbit=sec). TheH0-channel is suitable for st<strong>and</strong>ard broadcast digital audio programs.TABLE 8.1H-Channel Transmission (Data) RatesComponentchannelData rate kbit=secMultiple <strong>of</strong> B-channel rateH0 384 6H1 H11 1536 24H12 1920 30H2 H21 32,768 512H22 44,160 690H4 135,168 2112Copyright © 2002 by Marcel Dekker, Inc.
