Patent AT-E400101-T1: [Translated] IMPROVED MULTI-FRAME PROCESSING FOR TANDEM JOINT TRACKS WITH TRANSMISSION PROTECTION METHOD

According to the invention a synchronous hierarchic network system and a method of transmitting data are disclosed using at least a path segment between a first network element (A) and at least a second network element (F) on which a tandem connection monitoring (TC) method is established for monitoring information over said path segment, and means for suppressing the insertion of all ones caused by the out of multiframe state subsequent to an interruption, distortion or switching operation of the signal transmission path for a predefined time interval. <IMAGE>
