32. 32 Figure 6.12: Cellular Telephony B E H D I G L K F C M A J N P O PSTN Cellsite 1. Use Channel 47 In A, D, and F 2. Reuse Channel 47 In What Other Cells?

33. 33 Importance of Channel Reuse Channels are Scarce Only ~800 in First Generation Cellular Systems Only ~2,500 More for Second Generation Systems You Can Only Have an Average of 20 Customers per Channel Assumes each will use the system 5% of the time (generous) Only 16,000 to 50,000 customers without channel reuse

34. 34 Importance of Channel Reuse Can Reuse Channel in Nonadjacent Cells In adjacent cells, signals will interfere To tell how roughly how many times you can reuse a channel on average Divide the number of cells by 7 Rough estimate but very useful 20 cells / 7 = 3 (Round off: It’s not exact) 100 cells / 7 = 14 You can multiply the possible number of subscribers by this factor

35. 35 Importance of Channel Reuse Example 800 channels (First-generation system) 20 cells 3 (20/7) is the channel reuse factor 2,400 effective channels (800 x 3) 20 subscribers/channel maximum for good service 48,000 maximum subscribers (2,400 x 20)

36. 36 Importance of Channel Reuse Example 2,000 channels 100 cells How many subscribers can you serve?

37. 37 Compression Compression Multiplies Number of Possible Subscribers by About a Factor of 3 2,000 channels 100 cells How many subscribers can you serve?

38. 38 Channel Reuse and CDMA Some cellular systems use CDMA We saw in Chapter 5 that CDMA is a form of spread spectrum transmission We saw in Chapter 5 that multiple stations can use CDMA channels simultaneously With CDMA, all channels can be used in all cells without fear of interference from adjacent cells This gives more subscribers for a given number of cells, but the gain over traditional cellular service is not linear New

44. 44 U.S. Cellular Telephony Lag The U.S. lags many other countries in cellular telephone use. U.S. wired telephone charges are low, making the price gap to get a cellular phone high The lack of a U.S. standard for 2 nd generation cellular telephones causes confusion and generally raises prices In the U.S., when someone calls a cellular number, the receiver pays. In the rest of the world, the caller pays New

45. 45 Regulation and Carriers

46. 46 Figure 6.14: Regulation and Deregulation Regulation Carriers: carry signals between customer premises Rights of Way: government permission to lay wire Monopoly: service was originally provided by a single telephone carrier Regulation: This monopoly carrier was regulated to prevent abuse of the monopoly Tariffs specify a service’s specific service parameters and pricing to prevent discrimination and guarantee service provision

47. 47 Figure 6.14: Regulation and Deregulation Deregulation Deregulation: remove protections & restrictions To increase competition, lowering prices Varies by country Varies by service within countries Data, long-distance, and customer premises deregulation is high. Local voice service deregulation is low.

48. 48 Figure 6.15: Regulation and Carriers Carriers Public Telephone and Telegraph (PTT) authority is the traditional domestic monopoly carrier in most countries. Domestic transmission: within a country UK: British Telecoms Japan: NTT

49. 49 Figure 6.15: Regulation and Carriers Carriers In the United States U.S. is divided into regions called local access and transport areas (LATAs) About 200 LATAs nationwide Small states have just one LATA Large states have 10 to 20 LATAs LATA

50. 50 Figure 6.15: Regulation and Carriers Carriers In the United States Local exchange carriers (LECs) provide service within a LATA Incumbent LEC (ILEC) is the traditional monopoly carrier in the LATA Competitive LEC (CLEC) is a new competitor LATA LEC ILECCLEC

51. 51 Figure 6.15: Regulation and Carriers LATA IXC Carriers In the United States Inter-exchange carriers (IXCs) provide service between LATAs LEC versus IXC distinction is used by data carriers as well as voice carriers

57. 57 Converged Services TelephonyData

58. 58 Figure 6.16: Converged Services Integrate Voice and Data Networks Often referred to as voice over IP (VoIP) and IP telephony Provide Voice and Data Over a Single Network Most firms now maintain two networks—one for voice, the other for data Using only a single network should reduce costs

59. 59 Figure 6.16: Converged Services Save money compared to traditional telephony Reducing staff and economies of scale in purchasing technology New encoding standards encoding voice to less than 64 kbps so fewer bits need to be sent Packet switching to reduce transmission costs for bits sent

60. 60 Figure 6.17: PBX-PBX IP Telephony Ordinary Telephone Ordinary Telephone Frame Relay, ATM, or the Internet IP Packet PBX with IP Telephony Module PBX with IP Telephony Module

61. 61 Figure 6.16: Converged Services Implementation PBX-to-PBX connectivity is easy and saves money on long-distance calls LAN implementations are more difficult, less well- developed, and may not save money

62. 62 Figure 6.16: Converged Services Will Cost Savings be Realized? Convergence justified by gap between high long- distance and international telephone charges and possible savings through IP telephony Falling traditional telephone prices are reducing the gap Packet transmission inefficiency is reducing the theoretical savings and therefore the gap Does the remaining gap justify convergence? Telephone Price VoIP Price Gap

63. 63 Figure 6.16: Converged Services Other advantages Computer-telephony integration (CTI) Provide integrated voice and data applications E.g., when a customer calls, his or her information can be brought up on-screen

64. 64 Figure 6.16: Converged Services Service Quality Availability (less than the PSTN’s 99.999%) Companies expect telephone service to be available all the time. Sound quality latency produces pauses Millisecond-to-millisecond inconstancy of latency produces jitter

65. 65 Figure 6.18: Using a Single ISP for VoIP ISP 1 Backbone ISP 2 Site A Site B Site C No Congestion in Site A-C Communication Because All Traffic Passes through a Single ISP. It Avoids the Congested Internet Backbone. Congestion in Site A-B Communication Because of Passage Through Internet Backbone.

66. 66 Voice/Data Cultural Concerns Data Networking Concerns Will all this voice traffic mean that my data cannot get through well? Telephony Concerns Will people get the same level of voice quality? Will they get secondary services (3-party calling, call waiting, etc.) New
