The STS-3 frame structure

• The channelized STS-3 frame is constructed by
multiplexing byte-wise three channelized STS-1
frames. As a result:
– Byte 1, 4, 7, … , 268 of the STS-3 frame contains byte
1, 2, 3, … , 90 of the first STS-1 frame.
– Byte 2, 5, 8, …, 269 of the STS-3 frame contains byte
1, 2, 3, … , 90 of the second STS-1 frame
– Byte 3, 6, 9, …, 270 of the STS-3 frame contains byte
1, 2, 3, … , 90 of the third STS-1 frame.
• This byte-wise multiplexing, causes the columns
of the three STS-1 frames to be interleaved in the
STS-3 frame
