taken as a data bit. A majority decision is accepted in case the values differ
from these.
Similar to the lower order bit streams such as E2 and E3, various param-
eters of E4 multiplexing can be calculated as under
(i)
Number of frames per second Data rate/number of
bits per frame

Therefore, the minimum data rate per second for each E3 tributary
= 1,373,361,486/4
= 34,340,371.5 bps
= 34.34 Mbps (approximate)
