Dense-Wavelength Division Multiplexing

The period during which a dynamic process remains halted in order that another process may occur.

Abbreviation for direct current signaling.

A duplex signaling unit that repeats "E" and "M" lead signals into a cable pair(s) via "A" and "B" leads. These signals are transmitted on the same cable pair(s) that transmit(s) the message.

Enabling/disabling of a detection point by a service control function in the course of service control execution for a particular call/service attempt. [T1.667-1999]

See dHTML.

1. In a system or device, the ratio of (a) a specified maximum level of a parameter, such as power, current, voltage, or frequency to (b) the minimum detectable value of that parameter.
Note: The dynamic range is usually expressed in dB.
2. In a transmission system, the ratio of (a) the overload level, i.e., the maximum signal power that… (Read More →)

A short-term variation (as opposed to long-term drift) in the characteristics of power delivered to electrical equipment.
Note: Dynamic variations indicate a short-term departure from steady-state conditions.

A procedure to modify the transmitter's transmit window in response to the user's perception of congestion conditions in the network. [T1.615-1992]

In route determination for packet-switched networks, adaptive routing in which an algorithm is used that (a) automatically routes traffic around congested, damaged, or destroyed switches and trunks and (b) allows the system to continue to function over the remaining portions of the network.
