Legacy Voice World Chapter 03
Analog Connectivity • What is analog connectivity • Electric wave forms • Understanding Analog signaling
Thomas Edison • Record player • Braille • Home telephone lines • Analog phone lines electricity for voice transmission
As you speak • Analog to digital • Properties of electricity as used to convey properties of voice • Digital to analog
Signaling • When receiver is on-hook, circuit is broken Loop - + Battery at the CO Tip - Ring
Signaling • When receiver is off-hook, circuit is complete • This is an example of loop start Loop - + Battery at the CO Tip - Ring
Signaling • This is an example of Ground start • Off-hook signal accomplished by temporarily grounding the ring wire • Stops GLARE Loop - + Battery at the CO Tip PBX - Ring
Signaling over Analog Lines • On-hook • Off-hook • Ringing • Ringing is sent using AC current rather than DC
When receiver is on-hook, circuit is broken • True • False
Additional Signaling • Dual tone • Busy • Ring back • Congestion • Re-ordering • Receiver off-hook • No such number • Confirmation • And more
Address Signaling • Pulse (70% connected and 30% broken connection) • DTMF (dual tone multi-frequency)
DTMF works on • Only analog phones • Only on digital phones • Both analog and digital phones • Neither analog or digital phones
What Did We Learn? • What is analog connectivity • Electric wave forms • Understanding Analog signaling
Historical Voice • Problems with Analog connection • Converting Analog to Digital • Converting Digital to Analog
Wiring a Problem • Distance is prohibitive for analog wiring • Requires -2 wire system CO Repeater Repeater
Analog phone wiring requires • One wire • Two wire • Three wire • Four wire
Sample Voice • Nyquist: If you sample at twice the highest frequency, you can accurately reconstruct a signal digitally • Common frequencies: • Human hearing 20-20,000Hz • Human speech 200-9,000Hz • Nyquist therum 300-4000Hz
Quantizing the Sample PAM – Pulse Amplitude Modulation
Human hearing range is 20 - 20,000Hz. Nyquist theory is what range? • 20 – 20000Hz • 200 – 20000Hz • 200 – 9000Hz • 300 – 4000Hz
Convert the Sample to Binary • A-Law • U-Law (US, Canada, Japan) • 0110011 • Both use the first bit to represent “+” or “–” amplitude • A-Law uses “1” for Positive and “0” for negative • U-Law uses “0” for Positive and “1” for negative • Both use the next three bits for segments • Both use the following three bits for the interval • U-Law is known as Transcoding
Consider the bit string 1011011… This represents a positive notation for ___ • A-Law • U-Law
Once in Binary • Optionally compress the Samples • Send all the samples • Send just the changes • Build a code bank *standard voice sample: 64kbps (G.711) *common compressed value: 8 kbps (G.729)
Which codec provides the best QoS? • G.729 • G.726 • G.723 • G.711
What did we Learn? • Problems with Analog connection • Converting Analog to Digital • Converting Digital to Analog
Multiple Calls on a single Pair of Wires Solve the wiring problem: TDM Understand T1, E1, and CAS specifications Understand T1, E1, and CCS specifications
TDM • Carries multiple conversations over a 4 wire path • Build wire channels called DS0s • Each channel gives a time slot to transmit • Common DS0 Groups: • T1 (24 DS0 frames) • E1 (32 DS0 frames_) PBX PBX 1 1 1 1 2 2 2 2 4 4 4 4
Analog Signals are Electrical Frequencies • Once voice is digitized – signals must be 1s & 0s • There are two methods: • CAS (Channel Associated Signaling) • CCS (Common Channel Signaling)
CAS in a T1 Environment (RBS) Robbed Bit Signaling • The least significant bit in each 6th frame is signaling
The previous chart represents ____ in a T1 environment • CCS • RBS • SS7
Quality and Robbed Bits • The 6th frame missing a bit degrades quality • T1 can send Large frames of 193 bits at a time • T1 Frame bit is in the first bit in DS0 24 • T1 has two framing types: • Super framing (SF): sends 12 T1 frames at a time • Extended superframes (ESF): send 24 T1 frames at a time • F6, F12 and F18, F24 (frames referenced as “A,B,C,D”)
CAS in an E1 Environment • CAS has dedicated frames and signaling in separate channels • CAS E1 has 32 channels • Ch1 – dedicated to framing • Ch17 – dedicated to signaling • Chs2 - 16 and 18 - 32 are dedicated to voice • E1 is contra-intuitive ; called CAS since each time a slot is signaled it matches to a voice channel • It is compatible with T1 CAS (has the same ABCD signaling format
Bundling Channels Together on a T1 and E1 Connection • CCS (Common Channel Signaling) is simpler than CAS • CCS dedicates a signaling channel on T1 and E1 • Allows for the use of a signal protocol rather than just four bits of signaling per channel • Allows for more clmplex signaling messages • Allows for proprietary signaling messages • Most common signaling protocol is ISDN’s Q.931 • Other signaling protocols exist such as SS7 • Signaling Channel: • T 1 signaling channel 24 • E1 signaling channel 17
What Did We Learn? Multiple Calls on a single Pair of Wires • Solve the wiring problem: TDM • Understand T1, E1, and CAS specifications • Understand T1, E1, and CCS specifications
