  8. Human Speech

  9. Human Speech: • Nyquist Theory (Dr. Harry Nyquist, Bell labs.)- To accurately recreate an electrical pulse the sampling rate must be twice the frequency of the original. • Human speech typically ranges up to 9000 Hz therefore the sampling rate must be 18,000 samples per second!

  10. Converting Analog to Digital: • Sample the signal • Quantize the signal • Encode the quantized value into binary format: • Optionally compress the sample to save bandwidth.

  11. Sample the Signal: • How often to Sample? • Nyquist – 18,000 Samples per second! • Realistically to recognize voice and mood 8,000 Samples per second. • Result less quality less bandwidth • Process referred to as Pulse Amplitude-Modulation (PAM)

  12. Quantize the Signal: • How many Digits? • Known as Quantization • Divided into sixteen (16) segments. 0 through 7 positive and 0 through 7 negative • Values are not evenly spaced to allow for more accurate recreation of voice patterns

  13. Encode the Quantized Signal: • How many Digits? • Each Quantized value is encoded into an eight bit (8) binary number. • Total bandwidth is equal to eight bits for each sample times eight thousand samples per second. • 8 X 8000 = 64Kbps

  14. Meshed Network of Central Office Switches

  15. Hierarchical Network of Central Office Switches

  16. Circuit-Switched Hierarchical Network of Central Office Switches

  17. Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN): • The Pieces: • Analog Telephone: Able to connect directly to the PSTN. • Local loop: Connection between the customer premises and the phone company central office. • Center Office (CO) Switch: Provides services to the devices on the local loop.

  18. Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN) continued: • The Pieces: • Trunk: Provides a connection between central office switches. • Private Switch (PBX): Allows a business to operate an “in-house” phone company. • Digital Telephone: Typically connects to a PBX converts audio into binary

  19. DTMF Signaling

  20. Address Signaling: • Dual-tone multifrequency (DTMF)-Each button on the keypad of a touch-tone pad or push-button telephone is associated with a pair of high and low frequencies. On the keypad, each row of keys is identified by a low-frequency tone and each column is associated with a high-frequency tone. The combination of both tones notifies the telephone company of the number being called, thus the term dual-tone multifrequency (DTMF). • Pulse-The large numeric dial-wheel on a rotary-dial telephone spins to send digits to place a call. These digits must be produced at a specific rate and within a certain level of tolerance. Each pulse consists of a “break” and a “make”, which are achieved by opening and closing the local loop circuit, The break segment is the time during which the circuit is open. The make segment is the time during which the circuit is closed. The break-and-make cycle must correspond to a ratio of 60 percent break to 40 percent make.

  21. Multiple calls over a single line: • Time Division Multiplexing (TDM) • each call has a “time-slot” • T1 has twenty-four (24) time slots known as a Digital Signal. IE: Digital Signal 0 is DS0 • E1 has thirty (30) DS0

  22. ISDN

  23. Signaling: • Channel Associated Signaling (CAS): Uses the same bandwidth as the voice. IE: In-band signaling, as in telnet. Because it uses bits of the voice for signaling it is referred to as “Robbed Bit Signaling” (RBS). • Common Channel Signaling (CCS): Uses a separate dedicated channel for signaling. IE: Out-of-band signaling as in a console connection or ISDN “D” channel.

  24. Robbed Bit Signaling (RBS): • Uses the eighth (8th) bit on every sixth (6th) sample. • Uses the least significant bit (binary 1) to limit change in quality of voice transmission

  25. T1 Frame: • Each T1 frame consists of: • Twenty-four (24) DS0’s of eight (8) bits • One framing bit • 8 X 24 = 192 + 1 = 193 bits • At 8000 frames per second (Nyquist) • Total is 193 X 8000 = 1.544 Mbps

  26. Super Frame (SF): • Each Super Frame sends twelve (12) T1 frames at a time. • Uses the twelve framing bits only for synchronization.

  27. Extended Super Frame (ESF): • Sends groups of twenty-four (24) T1 frames at a time. • Of the 8000 framing bits sent every second: • Two-thousand (2000) are used for framing. • Two-thousand (2000) are used for error checking. • Four-thousand (4000) are used as a supervisory channel (Out-of-band)

  28. DS0 Robbed Bits (RBS): • Four bits (One per every six (6) DS0) per twenty-four (24) frames (ESF) • A pattern of 1111 signals ringing • A pattern of 0101 signals off-hook

  29. Traditional Call Set-up

  30. Switching systems provide three primary functions; • Call setup, routing, and teardowns • Call Supervision • Customer ID and telephone numbers

  31. Supervisory signaling • Address signaling • Informational signaling

  32. Supervisory Signaling: • On-hook Signal: When the phone is on-hook there is no connection between tip and ring. • Off-hook Signal: When the phone is off-hook the connection between tip and ring is made and electrical current (signal) is present. • Ringing: To cause a phone (on-hook) to ring an AC (Alternating Current) signal is sent.

  33. Informational Signaling: • Dial Tone: Indicates the phone company is ready to receive digits. • Busy: Indicates the remote phone is in use. • Ringback: Indicates to the originator that the receiving phone is ringing. • Congestion: Indicate the long distance network is not able to complete the call. • Reorder: Indicates the local network is not able to complete the call. • Receiver 0ff-hook: Indicates the local phone has been off-hook for an extended period of time.

  34. Informational Signaling (Continued): • No Such Number: Indicates the dialed number is invalid. • Confirmation: Indicates the telephone company is attempting to complete the call.

  35. Glare (Loop Start Signaling, Most common in Home): • When a user attempts to dial an outgoing call at the same time an incoming call is received, the two connect without ring or dial-tone. • More frequent in business where multiple incoming calls are received and multiple outgoing calls are made

  36. Telephone Services: • Call Waiting • Call Forwarding • Three-way Calling • Display • Call Blocking • Calling Line ID Blocking • Automatic Callback • Call Return • Circuit Switched Long Distance • Calling Cards • 800/888/877 Numbers • Virtual Private Networks • Private Leased Lines • Virtual Circuits

  37. VPN

  38. Key Systems: • Geared to small business environments where the individual phones will have multiple PSTN lines and ability to share lines
