H.Suleiman iv Abstract The objective of this study was to design a program to transmit voice conversations over data network using the internet protocol –Voice Over IP (VOIP). JAVA programming language was used to design the client-server model, codec and socket interfaces. The design was fully explained as to its input, processing and output. The test of the designed voice over IP model was successful, although some delay in receiving the conversation was noticed. This was related to the data network used. The noticed echo could be attributed to the quality of the media used. The study recommended overcoming the above mentioned problems. It also recommended application of the designed programme in a graphical interface form so as to make it easier for non IT specialists. This can make the design of commercial value. v ﻣﺴﺘﺨﻠﺺ هﺪﻓﺖ اﻟﺪراﺳﺔ ﻟﺘﺼﻤﻴﻢ ﺑﺮﻧﺎﻣﺞ ﻻﺳﺘﺨﺪاﻣﻪ ﻓﻲ ﻧﻘﻞ اﻟﻤﺤﺎدﺛﺎت اﻟﺼﻮﺗﻴﺔ ﻋﺒﺮ ﺑﺮوﺗﻮآﻮل اﻻﻧﺘﺮﻧﺖ. اﺳﺘﺨﺪﻣﺖ ﻟﻐﺔ ﺑﺮﻣﺠﺔ ﺟﺎﻓﺎ ( JAVA ) ﻓﻲ ﺗﺼﻤﻴﻢ ﻧﻤﻮذج اﻟﺨﺎدم و اﻟﺰﺑﻮن و اﻟﻤﺸﻔﺮات و اﻟﻤﻨﺎﻓﺬ.و ﺗﻢ ﺷﺮح ﻃﺮﻳﻘﺔ ﺗﺼﻤﻴﻢ و ﻋﻤﻞ اﻟﺒﺮﻧﺎﻣﺞ ﻣﻦ ﻧﺎﺣﻴﺔ ادﺧﺎل و ﻣﻌﺎﻟﺠﺔ و ﻣﺨﺮﺟﺎت اﻟﺒﻴﺎﻧﺎت. ﺗﻤﺖ ﺗﺠﺮﺑﺔ ﻧﻘﻞ اﻟﻤﺤﺎدﺛﺎت اﻟﺼﻮﺗﻴﺔ ﻋﺒﺮ اﻟﺒﺮﻧﺎﻣﺞ اﻟﻤﺼﻤﻢ و آﺎﻧﺖ اﻟﺘﺠﺮﺑﺔ ﻧﺎﺟﺤﺔ، ﺑﺎﻟﺮﻏﻢ ﻣﻦ ﺣﺪوث ﺑﻌﺾ اﻟﺘﺄﺧﻴﺮ ﻓﻲ اﺳﺘﻘﺒﺎل اﻟﻤﺤﺎدﺛﺎت ﺑﺴﺒﺐ ﻧﻮع اﻟﻮﺳﺎﺋﻂ اﻟﺘﻲ اﺳﺘﺨﺪﻣﺖ (ﺷﺒﻜﺔ ﺗﺒﺎدل اﻟﺒﻴﺎﻧﺎت)، آﻤﺎ ﻟﻮﺣﻆ ﺗﺮدد ﻟﻠﺼﺪى. اوﺻﺖ اﻟﺪراﺳﺔ ﺑﻤﻌﺎﻟﺠﺔ اﻟﺴﻠﺒﻴﺎت اﻟﺘﻲ ﺻﺎﺣﺒﺖ اﻟﺘﻄﺒﻴﻖ و اﺳﺘﺨﺪام واﺟﻬﺎت اﻟﺘﻄﺒﻴﻖ ﺳﻬﻠﺔ اﻻﺳﺘﺨﺪام ﺑﻮاﺳﻄﺔ ﻏﻴﺮ اﻟﻤﺨﺘﺼﻴﻦ ﻓﻲ ﺗﻘﺎﻧﺔ اﻟﻤﻌﻠﻮﻣﺎت ﻣﻤﺎ ﻳﺠﻌﻞ ﺗﻄﺒﻴﻘﺎﺗﻪ اﻟﺘﺠﺎرﻳﺔ ﻣﺘﺎﺣﺔ. vi List of Figures FIGURE2.1Simple Switching Network.....................................................4 FIGURE2.2Central witch..........................................................................7 FIGURE 2.3LOOPS, LINES & TRUNKS............................................. 11 FIGURE3.1TCP/IP& OSI MODEL.........................................................19 FIGURE.2Protocol Relationships in H.323.............................................28 FIGURE 4.1 System Architecture ..........................................................32 FIGURE4.2ClientServermodel................................................................33 FIGURE4.2Simplex Flow Chart..............................................................40 FIGURE 5.1 Starting Server....................................................................42 FIGURE 5.2 Starting Client..................... ...............................................43 FIGURE 5.3 example of input signal........................... ...........................44 FIGURE5.4exampleof output signal........................................................45 vii Glossary of Terms VOIP Voice Over Internet Protocol IP Internet Protocol PSTN Public Switched Telephone Network ITU International Telecom Union LAN Local Area Network MAN Metropolitan Area Network FDM Frequency Division Multiplexing TDM Time Division Multiplexing PBX Private Branch Exchange CO Central Office FXS Foreign Exchange Subscriber FXO Foreign Exchange Office SONET Synchronous Optical Network DTMF Dial Tone Multi Frequency ARPANET Advanced Research Projects Agency Network DARPA Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency IAB Internet Architecture Board OSI Open System Interface TCP/IP Transfer Control Protocol/Internet Protocol PPP Point to Point Protocol ICMP Internet Control Message Protocol UDP User Datagram Protocol FTP File Transfer Protocol SMTP Simple Mail Transfer Protocol HTTP Hyper Text Transmission Protocol SNMP Simple Network Management Protocol RSVP Resource Reservation Protocol RTP Real-time Transport Protocol SIP Session Initiation Protocol IETF Internet Engineering Task Force viii Table of Contents Acknowledgements............................................................................iv Abstract.............................................................................................v vi................................................................................................ﻣﺴﺘﺨﻠﺺ List of Figures..................................................................................vii Glossary of Terms............................................................................viii Table of Contents..............................................................................ix CHAPTER(1)INTRDUCTION…………………....…………………….............1 1.1 Background.................................................................................1 1.2 Objectives of the Project...............................................................2 1.3 Expected Outcome.......................................................................2 1.4 Technical Concepts......................................................................2 1.5 Thesis Layout...............................................................................3 CHAPTER(2)SWITCHED COMMUNICATIONS NETWORKS……….......4 2.1 CIRCUIT-SWITCHING NETWORKS……………………………………...5 2.2CIRCUIT SWITCHING CONCEPTS…………………………..................7 2.3The Public Switched Telephone Network…………………..................8 2.4Structure of the Telephone System……………………………………....8 2.5TELEPHONE SERVICE TODAY…………………………………………....9 2.6CO versus PBX……………………………………………………………......9 2.7LOOPS;

  • Growth of the Internet
    Growth of the Internet K. G. Coffman and A. M. Odlyzko AT&T Labs - Research [email protected], [email protected] Preliminary version, July 6, 2001 Abstract The Internet is the main cause of the recent explosion of activity in optical fiber telecommunica- tions. The high growth rates observed on the Internet, and the popular perception that growth rates were even higher, led to an upsurge in research, development, and investment in telecommunications. The telecom crash of 2000 occurred when investors realized that transmission capacity in place and under construction greatly exceeded actual traffic demand. This chapter discusses the growth of the Internet and compares it with that of other communication services. Internet traffic is growing, approximately doubling each year. There are reasonable arguments that it will continue to grow at this rate for the rest of this decade. If this happens, then in a few years, we may have a rough balance between supply and demand. Growth of the Internet K. G. Coffman and A. M. Odlyzko AT&T Labs - Research [email protected], [email protected] 1. Introduction Optical fiber communications was initially developed for the voice phone system. The feverish level of activity that we have experienced since the late 1990s, though, was caused primarily by the rapidly rising demand for Internet connectivity. The Internet has been growing at unprecedented rates. Moreover, because it is versatile and penetrates deeply into the economy, it is affecting all of society, and therefore has attracted inordinate amounts of public attention. The aim of this chapter is to summarize the current state of knowledge about the growth rates of the Internet, with special attention paid to the implications for fiber optic transmission.

  • Flexis—A Flexible Sensor Node Platform for the Internet of Things
    sensors Article FlexiS—A Flexible Sensor Node Platform for the Internet of Things Duc Minh Pham and Syed Mahfuzul Aziz * UniSA STEM, University of South Australia, Mawson Lakes, SA 5095, Australia; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +61-08-8302-3643 Abstract: In recent years, significant research and development efforts have been made to transform the Internet of Things (IoT) from a futuristic vision to reality. The IoT is expected to deliver huge economic benefits through improved infrastructure and productivity in almost all sectors. At the core of the IoT are the distributed sensing devices or sensor nodes that collect and communicate information about physical entities in the environment. These sensing platforms have traditionally been developed around off-the-shelf microcontrollers. Field-Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGA) have been used in some of the recent sensor nodes due to their inherent flexibility and high processing capability. FPGAs can be exploited to huge advantage because the sensor nodes can be configured to adapt their functionality and performance to changing requirements. In this paper, FlexiS, a high performance and flexible sensor node platform based on FPGA, is presented. Test results show that FlexiS is suitable for data and computation intensive applications in wireless sensor networks because it offers high performance with low energy profile, easy integration of multiple types of sensors, and flexibility. This type of sensing platforms will therefore be suitable for the distributed data analysis and decision-making capabilities the emerging IoT applications require.

  • A Review of Voice Over Internet Protocol
    Available online www.jsaer.com Journal of Scientific and Engineering Research, 2018, 5(7):96-106 ISSN: 2394-2630 Review Article CODEN(USA): JSERBR A Review of Voice over Internet Protocol Ayodeji Ireti Fasiku Computer Engineering Department, Ekiti State University, Ado – Ekiti, Nigeria Abstract The prevalence of network infrastructure in enterprise and the fact that Internet Protocol (IP) is the protocol that connects, locates and identifies devices on a network has made Voice over internet protocol a powerful service platform for transferring voice calls on a network. As a result, voice over internet protocol has been a predominant technology within the past few years that organizations use to transmit voice over an IP network. However, like any other technology, it has a number of benefits and promising attributes that gives it edge over the traditional Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN) though a number of risks are also associated with it. This paper describes the Voice over Internet Protocol technology. Keywords Voice over internet protocol, Public Switched Telephone Network and Internet protocol Introduction In less than two decades, Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) has revolutionized the telecommunications industry and it has helped to knock down barriers in international communication, providing a genuine alternative to telephone calls made using traditional telecoms infrastructure and providing near-universal access to cheap calls for anyone with a computer and an internet connection. The advent of the Internet brought with it an abundance of innovation regarding communication. Of course, there was email in the beginning, but then people started wondering whether they could communicate in real-time.
