No. 10A Remote Switching System: Transmission Plan

The design of the 10A Remote Switching System (RSS) has involved the interaction of many disciplines and required the solving of many old and new problems. One of these traditional questions concerned the transmission performance of the switching path. It must be assured that the switching path contributes little to the transmission impairments of the overall end-to-end talking connection. While the design of the RSS must continue to meet this requirement, the question must be answered in a new light since RSS is an "extension" of its controlling host RSS and located some distance from it. This paper addresses the transmission issues associated with the host-RSS link, spelling out the objectives and requirements, detailing the actual plan, describing the methods of analyzing and evaluating the plan, and defining its characteristics.
