  • National Numbering Plan – a Revised Approach Suggested by TRAI for Achieving Greater Transparency and Efficiency
    Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) National Numbering Plan – a revised approach suggested by TRAI for achieving greater transparency and efficiency March 2009 Mahanagar Doorsanchar Bhawan Jawahar Lal Nehru Marg New Delhi-110002 Web: www.trai.gov.in Preface Telecommunications sector in the country is undergoing a transformation brought about by rapid growth and technological developments. New paradigms are emerging as telecommunications, IT and broadcasting industries converge. Being conscious of the fact that some of these developments would have a profound impact on the National Numbering Plan, the Authority constituted an internal Research Team to suggest a revised approach to the numbering plan for achieving greater transparency and efficiency. The following issues have been analyzed in the Research Paper in detail: 1. Measures that can be taken for optimal utilization of numbers, short codes and IN SCP Codes 2. Pricing of numbers 3. Long term suitability of numbering plan keeping in view the growth of traditional and development of IP networks 4. Impact of Mobile Number Portability (MNP) and Carrier Selection on the numbering plan 5. Review of SDCA based Numbering Scheme The research paper has been placed on the TRAI's website (www.trai.gov.in). Written comments on the issues raised in the paper may please be furnished th to Principal Advisor (FN), TRAI by 20 March, 2009. The comments may be sent in writing and also preferably be sent in electronic form e-mail: [email protected], [email protected], Tel.: 011-23216930, Fax:

  • SIGNALING in TELECOM NETWORK and SSTP (Date of Creation: 01-04-2011)
    E2-E3/CFA/ Signalling in telecomN/W & SSTP Rev date: 01-04-2011 E2-E3 CONSUMER FIXED ACCESS CHAPTER-9 SIGNALING IN TELECOM NETWORK AND SSTP (Date of Creation: 01-04-2011) BSNL, India For Internal Circulation Only Page: 1 E2-E3/CFA/ Signalling in telecomN/W & SSTP Rev date: 01-04-2011 Signaling In Telecom Network And SSTP 1 .0 Introduction Communication networks generally connect two subscriber terminating equipment units together via several line sections and switches for exchange of user information (e.g. speech, data, text or images). The term “signaling” consists of a word signal, which means “indication” about some information. The procedure for transfer of the signal between two nodes or points in telecom network is known as signaling. The signaling is used to transfer control information between the exchanges for call control and for the use of facilities. There are three basic phases in a communication viz setup, conversation and release. Diagram shows a simple telecom network and indicates the component of network and type of signaling used therein. Subscriber Trunk Subscriber Signalling Signalling Signalling EXCH-1 EXCH-2 FIG.1.1 Subscriber Signaling Signaling systems used between the exchange and subscriber equipment, such as terminals and PBX (Private Branch exchanges), are called subscriber signaling systems. Subscriber signaling must not be confused with line signaling. Subscriber signaling can be transported over lines and subscriber trunks. Trunk Signaling Trunk signaling are signals used between public exchanges. They are used to connect exchanges in order to build up a circuit. The signals can be divided in supervision and address signaling.

  • Digital Switching Systems, I.E., System Testing and Accep- Tance and System Maintenance and Support
    SSyyed Riifffat AAlli DDiiggiittaall SSwwiittcchhiinngg SSyysstteemmss ((Syystemm Reliaabbiilliittyy aandd AAnnalysis) Bell Communications Research, Inc. Piscataway, New Jersey McGraw-Hill, Inc. New York • San Francisco • Washington, DC. Auckland • BogotA • Cara- cas • Lisbon • London Madrid • Mexico City • Milan • Montreal • New Delhi San Juan • Singapore • Sydney • Tokyo • Toronto 2 PREFACE The motive of this book is to expose practicing telephone engineers and other graduate engineers to the art of digital switching system (DSS) analysis. The concept of applying system analysis techniques to the digital switching sys- tems as discussed in this book evolved during the divestiture period of the Bell Operating Companies (BOCs) from AT&T. Bell Communications Research, Inc. (Bellcore), formed in 1984 as a research and engineering company support- ing the BOCs, now known as the seven Regional Bell Operating Companies (RBOCs), conducted analysis of digital switching system products to ascertain compatibility with the network. Since then Bellcore has evolved into a global provider of communications software, engineering, and consulting services. The author has primarily depended on his field experience in writing this book and has extensively used engineering and various symposium publications and advice from many subject matter experts at Bellcore. This book is divided into six basic categories. Chapters 1, 2, 3, and 4 cover digital switching system hardware, and Chaps. 5 and 6 cover software ar- chitectures and their impact on switching system reliability. Chapter 7 primarily covers field aspects of digital switching systems, i.e., system testing and accep- tance and system maintenance and support. Chapter 8 covers networked aspects of the digital switching system, including STf SCP, and AIN.

  • In What Way Is Stored Program Control (SPC) Superior to Hardwired Control?
    TELECOMMUNICAIONS SWITCHING SYSTEMS AND NETWORKS 1. How are switching systems classified? In what way is stored program control (SPC) superior to hardwired control? ELECTRO MECHANICAL SWITCHING SYSTEM Limited capability Virtually impossible to modify them to provide additional functionalities. 1. STROWGER/ STEP BY STEP SYSTEM Control functions are performed by circuits associated with the switching elements in the system. 2. CROSSBAR SYSTEM Have hard-wired control sub-systems which use relays and latches. ELECTRONIC SWITCHING SYSTEMS Control functions are performed by a computer or a processor; Also called stored program control (SPC) system. 1. SPACE DIVISION SWITCHING A dedicated path is established between the calling and the called subscriber for the entire duration of the call. Technique used in Strowger and crossbar systems. 2. TIME DIVISON SWITCHING Sampled values of speech signals are transferred at fixed intervals; May be analog or digital. A. ANALOG SWITCHING - The sampled voltage levels are transmitted as they are. B. DIGITAL SWITCHING - The sampled voltage levels are binary and transmitted. SPACE SWITCHING - If the coded values are transferred during the same time interval from input to output. TIME SWITCHING - If the values are stored and transferred to the outputat a later time interval. COMBINATION SWITCHING - Combination of time and space switching. STORED PROGRAM CONTROL HARDWIRED CONTROL Features properties changed through programming, It requires physical changes to wiring, which can be done in PBX system remotely. strapping etc which means it cannot be done remotely. Do not require gthat much of space and do not Equipments require more space & constant adjustment require constant adjustment and cleaning. and cleaning.
