Sensitivity: Internal
Circuit-Switching Concepts
• Space-Division Switching
Definition:
A circuit-switching technique in which each
connection through the switch takes a physically
separate and dedicated path.
• Basic building block--a metallic cross point or
semiconductor gate.
• "Crossbar" Matrix Multi-stage space-division
switches reduces the total number of cross points
required, but increases complexity and introduces
the possibility of blocking.
Space Division Switch
Space-Division Switches
• Crossbar switch
– Connects n inputs to m outputs in a grid, using
electronic micro switches (transistors) at each
crosspoint
Multi-stage Switches
• Multiple Paths
– Multistage switches provide several options for
connecting each pair of linked devices
• In the example of a 15 x 15 switch, the
number of crosspoints is reduced from 225
to 78 (only 35 percents)

Procedures of Switching
• Ascertain when subscriber goes off-hook
• Receive the telephone number dialed
• Test to see if the called number is busy
• Inform the caller if it is busy or make a
connection
• Ring the called party
• Disconnect when subscriber goes on-hook

Circuit-Switching Concepts
• Blocking vs. Nonblocking
– Relates to the capability of making connections.
– A blocking network is one in which blocking is
possible.
• A nonblocking network permits all stations
to be connected (in pairs) as long as the
stations are not in use.

Circuit switching
• Space division switches: Signal paths are
physically separate from one another (i.e.
divided in space).
– Single-stage
– Multi-stage
• Time-division switches: Same path is shared
by multiple streams (division in time)
Modern switches are combination switches

Circuit-Switching Concepts
• Time-Division Switching
– Definition: A circuit-switching technique in which
time slots in a time-multiplexed stream of data are
manipulated to pass data from an input to an output.
– TDM Bus
• A set of buffered input and output lines are connected
through controlled gates to a high-speed digital bus.
• Each input line is assigned a time slot.
• During a time slot allocation, the input line is enabled
as well as an output line.
• Then the data is "burst" across.
Sensitivity: Internal
Time-Division Switches
• Time-division multiplexing (TDM) + time-
slot interchange (TSI)
Sensitivity: Internal
Time Slot Interchanger
• TSI changes the ordering of the slots based on the desired
connections
• TSI switch may be designed to be expanding or concentrating.
• In such switches, the number of time slots(samples) per frame in the
input stream(M1) and in the output stream (M2) are different.
• If M2 > M1 then the switch is expanding
• For an expanding switch, the output bit rate is higher and for a
concentrating switch, the input bit rate is higher.

Time-space switching
• Precede each input trunk in a crossbar with a TSI
• Delay samples so that they arrive at the right time for
the space division switch’s schedule

Both Time and Space Switching Needed
Both time and space switching is
TSM required in large (greater than
1 1
10,000) digital switching offices
TSM because with the current
Nxk Nxk
technology, a time slot
interchange (TSI) cannot be built
N N fast enough to handle more than
TSM 1000-2000 lines.

for larger number of channels.)
