c) (5 marks) (i) What are framing bits and why are they used? A frame in an E-1 line in the E hierarchy consists of 30 voice channels, 8 start of frame bits (time slot 0) and 8 bits for carrying signals (time slot 16). How many bits are in the frame? If there are 8,000 frames a second what is the bit rate of an E-1 line? (iii) Explain how STS-3 frames are multiplexed in a SONET system. (iv) (2 marks) Explain briefly how the fields H1, H2, H3 in the Transport Overhead used in SONET.
