Abstract
A time switching method and apparatus for exchanging data words from a sequence of time slots in an incoming time-division multiplex frame to any other sequence of time slots an outgoing time-division multiplex frame. A data word in a given time slot s in an incoming frame is stored in a memory at an address A(s) which is equal to the number of time slots D.sub.j in an outgoing frame for which j is less than s and for which D.sub.j exceeds D(s). The data word already in the memory location address A(s) and the data words in addresses higher than that address are each shifted to the next higher address. Data words at memory addresses lower than A(s) are maintained at such addresses.
