Abstract
An integrated sub-rate multiplexing system and method optimizes use of transmission bandwidth in integrated networks. For example, transmission capacity of the Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN) is assigned to various traffic types according to the instantaneous needs, illustratively in an enhanced (T , T )-environment. When speech and data packets compete for bandwidth, under certain conditions portions of data are concatenated to the voice segment, increasing bandwidth efficiency.
