Abstract

A digital signal multiplexing method and apparatus include statistically multiplexing packet signals which are transferred through first transmission lines having a first speed to a second transmission line 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 transmission line through a plurality of logical transmission paths, distributing the packet signals to the plurality of logical transmission paths and transmitting on a packet unit basis, distributing the multiplexed packet signals which are statistically multiplexed to the second transmission line through receiving logical transmission lines corresponding to the plurality of logical transmission lines, and generating the received packet signals from the receiving logical transmission lines; the received packet signals corresponds to the first transmission lines.
