Distributed bit switching of a multistage interconnection network
TLDR
In this paper, a plurality of bits are stored in respective storage locations of the switching elements of a multistage interconnection network (MIN), where each storage location represents a particular time slot in a frame or a sequence of frames.Abstract:
This invention relates to a method of switching voice and data over a multistage interconnection network (MIN). More specifically, a plurality of bits are stored in respective storage locations of the switching elements of the MIN. Storage location of a switching element represents a particular time slot in a frame or a sequence of frames. Bits stored in each location represent specific conditions of the inputs and outputs of the switching elements and also indicate which inputs of the switching elements will be connected to which outputs of the switching elements. This storage of control information in the switching elements allows the switching network to rapidly and simultaneously change connections through the switching elements of the network.read more

Distributed voice-data switching on multi-stage interconnection networks
TL;DR: In this article, the authors proposed a method of switching synchronous and asynchronous data packets through a multi-stage interconnection network (MIN), so as to insure that packets with the highest assignable priority level will never be blocked at any stage of the network.

Method of transmitting information and multiplexing device for executing the method
TL;DR: In this paper, a TDM multiplexer is used to combine circuit-switched synchronous data and packetswitched asynchronous data for transmission over a common channel, where the remaining capacity of the TDM frame is used for transmission of store-and-forward traffic which is inserted in the gaps between assigned time slots in the form of an intermittent bit stream.

Nonblocking self-routing packet and circuit switching network
TL;DR: In this article, the authors propose a packet switching architecture in which switching network nodes automatically determine nonblocking paths through a switching network in response to address information, and each node upon receipt of the acknowledge signal establishes the path through the itself.
