Abstract
A digital signal multiplexing method and apparatus include statistically multiplexing packet signals which are transferred through first circuits having a first speed to a second circuit having a second speed, the second speed being higher than the first speed. The method includes the steps of dividing the signal transmitted to the second circuit into a plurality of circuit management units, distributing the packet signals to the plurality of circuit management units and transmitting on a packet unit basis, dividing the multiplexing packet signals which were statistically multiplexed to the second circuit into receiving circuit management units corresponding to the plurality of circuit management units, and generating the received packet signals included in the receiving circuit management units corresponding to the first circuits.
