  • G.W.A.T.T. (Global 'What If' Analyzer of Network Energy Consumption)
    G.W.A.T.T. New Bell Labs application able to measure the impact of technologies like SDN & NFV on network energy consumption WHITE PAPER Increased energy consumption is a key challenge for the Information and Communications Technologies (ICT) industry. Network energy bills represent more than 10 percent of operators’ operational expenses. With the advent of the Internet of Things era, and the inexorable consumption of video and cloud services promising to drive massively increased traffic across networks, it is even more important for operators to have a complete view of the energy impact of different technology and architectural evolution options. G.W.A.T.T. (Global “What if” Analyzer of NeTwork Energy ConsumpTion) has been built to allow operators and industry stakeholders to better understand these challenges. This application visualizes the current and future communication networks and forecasts key trends in energy consumption, energy efficiency, cost and carbon emissions based on a wide variety of traffic growth scenarios and technology evolution choices. It is intended as a mind-sharing tool to grasp the importance of the energy challenge and how innovation and new technologies can help address these issues in the future. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The explosion of the Internet traffic volume resulting from both the worldwide broadband subscriber base extension and the increasing number and diversity of available applications and services require a relentless deployment of new technologies and infrastructures to deliver the expected user-experience. At the same time, it also raises the issue of the energy consumption and energy cost of the Internet and more generally of the Information and Communication Technologies (ICT).

  • Measurement of the Cosmic Microwave Background Radiation at 19 Ghz
    Measurement of the Cosmic Microwave Background Radiation at 19 GHz 1 Introduction Measurements of the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) radiation dominate modern experimental cosmology: there is no greater source of information about the early universe, and no other single discovery has had a greater impact on the theories of the formation of the cosmos. Observation of the CMB confirmed the Big Bang model of the origin of our universe and gave us a look into the distant past, long before the formation of the very first stars and galaxies. In this lab, we seek to recreate this founding pillar of modern physics. The experiment consists of a temperature measurement of the CMB, which is actually “light” left over from the Big Bang. A radiometer is used to measure the intensity of the sky signal at 19 GHz from the roof of the physics building. A specially designed horn antenna allows you to observe microwave noise from isolated patches of sky, without interference from the relatively hot (and high noise) ground. The radiometer amplifies the power from the horn by a factor of a billion. You will calibrate the radiometer to reduce systematic effects: a cryogenically cooled reference load is periodically measured to catch changes in the gain of the amplifier circuit over time. 2 Overview 2.1 History The first observation of the CMB occurred at the Crawford Hill NJ location of Bell Labs in 1965. Arno Penzias and Robert Wilson, intending to do research in radio astronomy at 21 cm wavelength using a special horn antenna designed for satellite communications, noticed a background noise signal in all of their radiometric measurements.

They figured out that the noise was coming from the sky, and was approximately the same in all directions… The COBE mission Built by NASA-Goddard Space Flight Center Launched Nov. 1989 Purpose was to survey infra-red and microwave emission across the whole sky. Primary purpose – to characterize the CMB. Had a number of instruments on it: FIRAS (Far infra-red absolute spectrophotometer) DMR (Differential Microwave Radiometer) DIRBE (Diffuse Infrared background Experiment) 2 Our Galaxy observed by the DIRBE instrument on COBE 3 Almost uniform intensity of microwaves in all directions (isotropic 2.7K black body radiation) 4 Subtracting off the mean level leaves with a “dipole” pattern… what is this?? Subtracting off the dipole finally reveals the emission from the Galaxy that Penzias and Wilson were looking for! 5 Subtracting contribution from Galaxy reveals fluctuations in the CMB WMAP (2004) 6 II : The hot big bang model Penzias & Wilson had discovered radiation left over from the early universe… The hot big bang model… Independently developed by James Peebles and George Gamov They suggested that the universe started off in an extremely hot state.

A major trial of a Picturephone system is presently under way, and commercial service is scheduled for mid 1970. Because Pic- turephone service is a large undertaking that will have a profound effect on communications, the RECORD is pleased to be able to present this special issue describing the new system for our readers. Special issues have become an important part of the RECORD's continuing story of science and technology at Bell Labs. The first one, in June 1958, dealt with the transistor and marked the tenth anniversary of its invention at Bell Labs. Since then there have been special issues on the TELSTAR® project, No. 1 Ess, and integrated elec- tronics. In addition, there have been single-topic issues devoted to the N-3 and L-4 carrier trans- mission systems. We hope to continue to present such special issues from time to time as a way of highlighting subjects of special importance.

The idea is that an optimal phase search is performed over the frequency band of interest in each tone detection, and then the optimal frequency response of a detector is built accordingly. In this manner, a DTMF detection task is done following one-time detection computation. This proposal demonstrates an overall computational load reduction of 80.49% and 74.06% in comparison with a discrete Fourier transform (DFT) approach and the Goertzel algorithm, respectively. This detection complexity reduction is an advantage and an important issue for applying DTMF detection technique to embedded devices. Keywords: dual-tone multi-frequency (DTMF); remote control; tone detection; Goertzel algorithm; discrete Fourier transform (DFT) 1. Introduction Dual-tone multi-frequency (DTMF) signals [1–4] were developed by Bell Labs for the purpose of automatic fulfilled long-distance calls.

All rights reserved. 1 Introduction Dual Tone Multi Frequency, or DTMF as it is popularly known as, is the technical term for the sound frequencies produced when a telephonic key is pressed. DTMF, also known as touch tone, was primarily used for telephone signaling to and from the local exchange, though today it finds several applications in the field of telecommunications and call centers. A different frequency is assigned to each key in the telephone and there are two tones – one low frequency and another high frequency – that are played simultaneously when a key is pressed. This combination of two tones makes it nearly impossible to reproduce by the human voice. Each of the four rows of keys in a telephone is assigned a low frequency tone and each of the three columns is assigned a high frequency tone. A fourth column of keys labeled as A, B, C, and D is optional and is mostly used in military networks. 2 © Specialty Answering Service.

In pulse dialing, pulses are generated by rapidly connecting and disconnecting the telephone connection.

  • Digital Signal Processing Applications Using the ADSP-2100 Family
    Dual-ToneDual-Tone Multi-FrequencyMulti-Frequency 1414 CodingCoding 14.1 INTRODUCTION DTMF is the generic name for pushbutton telephone signaling equivalent to the Bell System’s TouchTone®. Dual-Tone Multi-Frequency (DTMF) signaling is quickly replacing dial-pulse signaling in telephone networks worldwide. In addition to telephone call signaling, DTMF is becoming popular in interactive control applications, such as telephone banking or electronic mail systems, in which the user can select options from a menu by sending DTMF signals from a telephone. To generate (encode) a DTMF signal, the ADSP-2100 adds together two sinusoids, each created by software. For DTMF decoding, the ADSP-2100 looks for the presence of two sinusoids in the frequency domain using modified Goertzel algorithms. This chapter shows how to generate and decode DTMF signals in both single channel and multi-channel environments. Realizable hardware is briefly mentioned. DTMF signals are interfaced to the analog world via codec (coder/ decoder) chips or linear analog-to-digital (A/D) converters and digital-to- analog (D/A) converters. Codec chips contain all the necessary A/D, D/A, sampling and filtering circuitry for a bidirectional analog/digital interface. These codecs with on-chip filtering are sometimes called codec/ filter combo chips, or combo chips for short. They are referred to as codecs in this chapter. The codec channel used in this example is bandlimited to pass only frequencies between 200Hz and 3400Hz. The codec also incorporates companding (audio compressing/expanding) circuitry for either of the two companding standards (A-law and µ-255 law). These two standards are explained in Chapter 11, Pulse Code Modulation.
