The DS1 Framing Structure
A single T1 frame is 193 bits long and is transmitted at a frame rate of 8000Hz. This results in an aggregate bit
rate of 1.544 Mbit/s. Basic frames are divided into 24 timeslots numbered 1 thru 24 and a framing bit as shown
in Figure 113. Each timeslot is 8 bits in length and is transmitted most significant bit first, numbered bit 0. This
results in a single timeslot data rate of 8 bits x 8000/sec = 64 kbit/s.
