A means for delivering audio signals from one point to another. An audio waveform submitted to the channel input results in a similar (not necessarily identical) waveform at the channel output. The audio channel may be comprised of the following components: encoders (compressors) and decoders (decompressors,) buffers, multiplexors and demultiplexors, modulators and demodulators, transmission facilities, switches, multipoint conference units, and other components necessary to achieve the desired channel characteristics.
Industry:Telecommunications
A means for delivering data from one point to another. The data channel may be comprised of the following components: format conversion devices, encoders (compressors) and decoders (decompressors,) buffers, stream segmentation and reassembly devices, multiplexors and demultiplexors, modulators and demodulators, transmission facilities, switches, multipoint conference units, and other components necessary to achieve the desired channel characteristics. A sequence of data bits submitted to the channel input results in a similar (not necessarily identical) sequence of bits at the channel output.
Industry:Telecommunications
A means for delivering video frames from one point to another; a sequence of frames submitted to the channel input results in a similar (not necessarily identical) sequence of frames at the channel output. Note: The visual channel may be comprised of the following components: video format conversion devices, encoders (compressors) and decoders (decompressors,) rate smoothing buffers, multiplexors and demultiplexors, modulators and demodulators, transmission facilities, switches, multi-point conference units, and other components necessary to achieve the desired channel characteristics.
Industry:Telecommunications
A means for specifying in detail the adjacent layer interactions.
Industry:Telecommunications
A means of digital transmission with specified characteristics between two points.
Industry:Telecommunications
A means of distributing key to multiple, local crypto-equipment or devices from a single fill point.
Industry:Telecommunications
A means of unidirectional transport of ATM cells between the point where a VCI value is assigned and the point where that value is translated or removed.
Industry:Telecommunications
A means used to control the orderly communication of information among stations in a data communication network.
Industry:Telecommunications
A measure (or an expression) of the number of "ones" (marks, pulses) in relation to the total number of digit time slots transmitted.
Industry:Telecommunications
A measure for the assurance that may be held in a Target of Evaluation, consisting of a reference to its security target, an evaluation level established by assessment of the correctness of its implementation and consideration of its effectiveness in the context of actual or proposed operational use, and a confirmed rating of the minimum strength of its security mechanisms.
