What is the function of a signalling slot in a multiplex frame?

  • A.Providing the guard time between adjacent channels
  • B.Equalising the amplitudes of the multiplexed channels
  • C.Carrying call control rather than speech
  • D.Marking the boundary of each individual channel slot

Answer: C

A signalling slot carries the control information a call needs - dialling, answer, clear - separately from the speech itself, which is why the European primary rate has thirty-two slots for thirty channels. Slot boundaries come from the frame alignment pattern in the other overhead slot, guard time is unallocated margin rather than a slot, and amplitude equalisation is not a framing matter. Overhead in a frame is always doing a job, and identifying which job each slot does explains why the numbers come out as they do.
