Abstract

In a connection comprising N channels for transmitting a high data rate, a first channel is provided in a control unit which takes over coordination of the further N−1 channels. The individual channels of the connection comprising N channels furthermore appear in the exchange according to the use of their resources; however, only the first channel is responsible for controlling the connection, so that only one single N-fold connection is set up through the switching system.
