Abstract
A system and modulation method are provided for reducing jitter in the mapping of information into Synchronous Payload Envelopes (SPEs), in a data tributary mapping system. The method comprises buffering data from a plurality of tributaries, and generating buffer-fill information responsive to the buffered data being written and read. The buffer-fill information is filtered, producing rate control information. The rate control information is modulated, and the modulated rate control information is used in controlling the mapping of buffered tributaries into a SPE. The rate control information can be modulated with periodic signals, such as a sine or square wave, and pseudorandom signals with an average value of about zero.
