• The 44.736MHz - 1ppm Case
Throughout each of these cases, we will discuss how the resulting "bit-stuffing" (that was done when mapping
the DS3 signal into SONET) affects the amount of intrinsic jitter and wander that will be present in the DS3
signal, once it is ultimately de-mapped from SONET.
9.2.2.1
The Ideal Case for Mapping DS3 data into an STS-1 Signal (e.g., with no Frequency
Offsets)
Let us assume that we are mapping a DS3 signal, which has a bit rate of exactly 44.736Mbps (with no
frequency offset) into SONET. Further, let us assume that the SONET circuitry within the PTE is clocked at
exactly 51.84MHz (also with no frequency offset), as depicted below.

51.84MHz + 0ppm
Given the above-mentioned assumptions, we can state the following.
• The DS3 data-stream has a bit-rate of exactly 44.736Mbps
• The PTE will create 8000 STS-1 SPE’s per second
• In order to properly map a DS3 data-stream into an STS-1 data-stream, then each STS-1 SPE must carry
(44.736Mbps/8000 =) 5592 DS3 data bits.
Is there a Problem?
According to Figure 37, each STS-1 SPE only contains 5589 bits that are specifically designated for "DS3 data
bits". In this case, each STS-1 SPE appears to be three bits "short".
No there is a Simple Solution
No, earlier we mentioned that each STS-1 SPE consists of nine (9) "Stuff Opportunity" bits. Therefore, these
three additional bits (for DS3 data) are obtained by using three of these "Stuff Opportunity" bits. As a
consequence, three (3) of these nine (9) "Stuff Opportunity" bits, within each STS-1 SPE, will carry DS3 data-
bits. The remaining six (6) "Stuff Opportunity" bits will typically function as "stuff" bits.
In summary, for the "Ideal Case"; where there is no frequency offset between the DS3 and the STS-1 bit-rates,
once this DS3 data-stream has been mapped into the STS-1 data-stream, then each and every STS-1 SPE will
have the following "Stuff Opportunity" bit utilization.
3 "Stuff Opportunity" bits will carry DS3 data bits.
6 "Stuff Opportunity" bits will function as "stuff" bits
In this case, this DS3 signal (which has now been mapped into STS-1) will be transported across the SONET
network. As this STS-1 signal arrives at the "Destination PTE", this PTE will extract (or de-map) this DS3 data-
stream from each incoming STS-1 SPE. Now since each and every STS-1 SPE contains exactly 5592 DS3
data bits; then the bit rate of this DS3 signal will be exactly 44.736Mbps (such as it was when it was mapped
into SONET, at the "Source" PTE).
