convergence sublayer
One of the
two sublayers of the AAL CPCS, responsible for padding and error checking. PDUs
passed from the SSCS are appended with an 8-byte trailer (for error checking
and other control information) and padded, if necessary, so that the length of
the resulting PDU is divisible by 48. These PDUs are then passed to the SAR
sublayer of the CPCS for further processing. See also AAL, CPCS,
SAR, and SSCS.
