Abstract

Economical B-ISDN services can be realized with the passive double star (PDS) system which shares fiber cables and telephone office equipment among several users. PDS system flexibility can be enhanced by using the ATM transmission technique. Our assumption is that POTS and narrowband ISDN (N-ISDN) are services that must be supported. This paper proposes a PDS system based on the ATM transmission technique (A-PDS) and shows how to transmit POTS and N-ISDN as well as B-ISDN
