Switching arrangement capable of switching burst time plan tables/channel assignment pattern tables of a specific terrestrial station

摘要

In a time division multiple access network comprising a standard station (11) and a particular terrestrial station (12) which has a preassigned station address and which is kept into operation in accordance with a current table, a switching data signal is sent from the standard station to the particular terrestrial station with the preassigned station address indicated in addition to a switch execution signal. Responsive to the preassigned station address, the particular terrestrial station switches from the current table to a new one. For this purpose, the standard station comprises a station data generation circuit 40 for producing a station address signal representative of the preassigned station address while the particular terrestrial station comprises a station address decoder 45 for detecting the station address signal and switches the tables from the current one to the new one only when the preassigned station address is detected.
