5 04\08\2010 Unit-I introduction Circuit Switching Store-and -Forward Networks Message Switching Packet Switching connection-oriented vs connectionless virtual circuit vs datagram Circuit Switching: Seeking out and establishing a physical copper path from end-to-end [historic definition]. Circuit switching implies the need to first set up a dedicated, end-to-end path for the connection before the information transfer takes place. Once the connection is made the only delay is propagation time. Point-to-Point Switching

6 04\08\2010 Unit-I introduction (a) Circuit switching. (b) Packet switching. Circuit Switching

7 04\08\2010 Unit-I introduction Intermediate processors (IMPS, nodes, routers, gateways, switches) along the path store the incoming block of data. Each block is received in its entirety, inspected for errors, and retransmitted along the path to the destination. This implies buffering at the router and one transmission time per hop. A store-and-forward network where the block of transfer is a complete message. Since messages can be quite large, this can cause: Buffering problems High mean delay times Store-and-Forward Networks

8 04\08\2010 Unit-I introduction A store-and-forward network where the block of transfer is a complete packet. A packet is a variable length block of data with a tight upper bound.  Using packets improves mean message delay. Packet Switching

9 04\08\2010 Unit-I introduction Connection-oriented Protocols A setup stage is used to determine the end-to-end path before a connection is established. Data flow streams are identified by some type of connection indicator. Packet Switched Networks

10 04\08\2010 Unit-I introduction Connectionless Protocols No set up is needed. Each packet contains information which allows the packet to be individually routed hop-by-hop through the network. Packet Switched Networks

19 04\08\2010 Unit-I introduction Signaling The tasks of data transfer and signaling are separated in modern telephone networks: data transfer is done by one network, signaling by another.

20 04\08\2010 Unit-I introduction Data transfer and signaling networks Signal Point: Telephone or computer is connected to SP. Signaling Network uses nodes called signal transport points (STPs). SCP: Service Control Point controls the whole operation of the signaling network

21 04\08\2010 Unit-I introduction Signaling System No.7 (SS7) is a set of telephony signaling protocols which are used to set up most of the world’s public switched telephone network (signaling network) telephone calls. The main purpose is to set up and tear down telephone calls. Other uses include number translation, prepaid billing mechanisms, short messages service(SMS), and a variety of other mass market services. Signaling System No.7 (SS7)

22 04\08\2010 Unit-I introduction Types of Signaling Signaling in Telecommunications Network Channel Associated Signaling (CAS) Common Channel Signaling (CCS) Signaling System Number (SS7) is a form of Common Channel Signaling. Channel Associated Signaling (CAS) Used for In-Band Signaling Signaling is transmitted in the same frequency band as used by voice. Voice path is established when the call setup is complete, using the same path that the call setup signals used.

23 04\08\2010 Unit-I introduction Out of Band signaling Employs separate, dedicated path for signaling. Voice trunks are used only when a connection is established, not before. Faster Call Setup. Switch A Switch B Voice Trunks Signaling Link Common Channel Signaling

24 04\08\2010 Unit-I introduction Faster call setup No interference between signaling tones by network and frequency of human speech pattern. Greater Trunking Efficiency:- CCS has shorter call set up and tear down times that result in less call holding time, thereby reducing the traffic on the network. Information Transfer:- CCS allows the transfer of additional information along with the signaling traffic providing facilities such as caller identification and voice or data identification Advantage of CCS over CAS

25 04\08\2010 Unit-I introduction Out of band Signaling Higher Signaling data rates (56Kbps & 64 Kbps) Signaling traffic is bursty and of short duration, hence operates in connectionless mode using packet switching Variable length signal units with maximum size limitation Optimum use of bandwidth Reliability and flexibility SS7 Principle

Transaction capabilities application port (TCAP) provides remote calls that let an application program on a computer invoke procedure on another computer

33 04\08\2010 Unit-I introduction Services provided by Telephone Networks Telephone companies provide two types of services: Analog and Digital Analog Services Analog Switched Services Analog Leased Services Digital Services Switched 56/ Service

34 04\08\2010 Unit-I introduction Services provided by Telephone Networks Analog Switched Services: This is dial up service, signal is of analog and the bandwidth is of between 0 to 4000 Hz. Service is normally provided for a flat monthly rate or charged for each call or a set of call. 800 service: If a subscriber needs to provide free connections for other subscribers (customers) it request the 800 service. The call is free for the caller, but is paid by the callee (Tollfree). Wide area telephone service (WATS): Outbound call (to the customer) paid by the organization, charges are based on the number of calls. 900 Service: Inbound service, call is paid by the caller and is normally more expensive than a normal call.

35 04\08\2010 Unit-I introduction Services provided by Telephone Networks Analog Leased Service: Customer can use leased line called a dedicated line. Permanently connected to another customer. Although connection passes through the switches in the network, but switch is always closed, no dialing is needed. Digital Services: Switched /56 Service: Digital version of an analog switched line. Provides data rate up to 56kbps. Subscribers do not need modems need a device called a digital service unit (DSU). Digital Data Service: DDS is the digital version of an analog leased line, with a maximum data rate of 64 kbps.

46 04\08\2010 Unit-I introduction DIGITAL SUBSCRIBER LINE DIGITAL SUBSCRIBER LINE (DSL)

47 04\08\2010 Unit-I introduction DIGITAL SUBSCRIBER LINE After traditional modems reached their peak data rate, telephone companies developed another technology, DSL, to provide higher-speed access to the Internet. Digital subscriber line (DSL) technology is one of the most promising for supporting high-speed digital communication over the existing local loops.

48 04\08\2010 Unit-I introduction DIGITAL SUBSCRIBER LINE ADSL is an adaptive asymmetric communication technology designed for residential users; it is not suitable for businesses. The existing local loops can handle bandwidths up to 1.1 MHz. The system uses a data rate based on the condition of the local loop line. Twisted pair cable is capable of handling BW up to 1.1 MHz, but filter installed at the end office of the telephone company which limits BW to 4 Khz, If the filter is removed entire 1.1 Mhz BW is available.

49 04\08\2010 Unit-I introduction Asymmetric DSL: provides higher speed (bit rate) in the downstream direction than in the upstream direction. Discrete Multitone Technique (DMT): Modulation technique used in ADSL is called the discrete multitone technique which combines QAM and FDM. Available bandwidth is MHz is divided into 256 channels, each channel of kHz Voice: Channel 0 is reserved for Voice Idle: 1 to 5 Upstream: 6 to 30(25 Channels), one for control channel and 24 channels for data transfer 24X4000(Hz)X15(bits)=1.44 Mbps (Normally below 500 kbps, some channels are deleted ) Downstream: 31 to 255 (225 Ch) 1 Ch for Contr, 224 X4000X15=13.4 Mbps (Normally below 8 Mbps) ADSL

52 04\08\2010 Unit-I introduction Customer site: ADSL modem At the customer site, device is called a digital subscriber line access multiplexer (ADSL). ADSL modem modulates and demodulates the data using DMT, and creates downstream and upstream channels.

53 04\08\2010 Unit-I introduction Telephone Company Site: DSLAM At the telephone company site, device is called a digital subscriber line access multiplexer (DSLAM). Its function is similar to ADSL modem, and in addition it packetizes the data to be sent to the Internet (ISP server)

54 04\08\2010 Unit-I introduction ADSL Lite: (Splitterless ADSL), Downstream is of 1.5Mbps and downstream of 512 kbps Symmetric Digital Subscriber Line (SDSL) is a Digital Subscriber Line (DSL) variant with T1/E1-like data rates (72 to 2320 kbit/s). It runs over one pair of copper wires, with a maximum range of about 3 kilometers or 1.86 miles. The main difference between ADSL and SDSL is that SDSL has the same upstream data rate as downstream (symmetrical), whereas ADSL always has smaller upstream bandwidth (asymmetrical). However, unlike ADSL, it can't co-exist with a conventional voice service on the same pair as it takes over the entire bandwidth.

55 04\08\2010 Unit-I introduction HDSL (High bit-rate Digital Subscriber Line: Single wire of twisted-pair cable as can be carried on a T1 line (up to Mbps) in North America or an E1 line (up to Mbps) in Europe over a somewhat longer range and is considered an alternative to a T1 or E1 connection. SDSL (Symmetric Digital Subscriber Line:) One twisted pair version of HDSL Full duplex symmetric communication upto 768 kbps in each direction VDSL (Very High bit-rate Digital Subscriber Line) Uses coaxial, fiber optic, or twisted pair cable for short distances. DMT modulation technique is used 25 to 55 Mbps for downstream and 3.2 mbps for upstream
