The Access System consists of
the access line to the customer
(called the local loop)
and termination equipment at the end office
(nearest telephone office switch).

Signaling is the control of calling
(setup, teardown, billing, etc.).

Figure 6-4: Circuit Switching
T he PSTN
has traditionally used
circuit switching.
A circuit is an end-to-end
connection between two subscribers.
Capacity is reserved on all
trunk lines and switches along the way.
Capacity must be paid for even if it is not used.

Codec Operation
• First, Bandpass-Filter the Incoming Signal to 4 kHz
– Really about 300 Hz to 3.4 kHz
– To reduce transmission requirements
• The Codec then Uses PCM for the Conversion
– Samples at twice the highest frequency (4 kHz so 8,000
samples/second)
– Loudness is recorded with 8 bits per sample (to give 256
loudness levels)
– Generates 64 kbps of traffic (8 bits/sample times 8,000
samples per second)

Cellular Technologies
• Cannot use the same channel in adjacent cells
– So can only reuse a channel about every 7 cells
– For example, suppose there are 50 cells
• Channel can be reused 50 / 7 times
• This is 7 (not precise, so round things off)
• So each channel can support 7 simultaneous
customers in these 7 cells
6-32
Cellular Technologies
• Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA)
– Also used in the United States
– A form of spread spectrum transmission
– Unlike traditional spread spectrum technology, multiple
users can transmit simultaneously
– 1.25 MHz channels
– Can support many users per channel
• Can use the same channel in adjacent cells
– So can only reuse a channel in every cell

ADSL versus Cable Modem Service
• Do Not Over-Stress the Importance of Sharing
– Cable modem service usually is still faster than ADSL
service
– DSLAM sharing can slow ADSL service too
• The Bottom Line Today:
– Cable modem service usually is faster
– ADSL service usually is cheaper
• ADSL offers more speed-price options
• Both are improving rapidly in terms of speed and
(sometimes) price

• Broadband over Power Lines
– Broadband data from your electrical company
– It already has transmission wires and access to
residences and businesses
– It can modulates data signals over electrical power
lines
– It works, but has very limited availability and is slow
– Especially promising for rural areas
6-61

• Fiber to the Home (FTTH)
– Carrier runs fiber to the home
– Provides speeds of tens of megabits per second for highspeed video, etc.
• Less if fiber only goes to the curb (FTTC)
• Or to the neighborhood (FTTN)
– Much faster than other residential internet access
services
– Could dominate residential (and business) Internet
access in the future
6-62
Internet Access and VoIP
• Most ISPs are Planning to or Already Provide VoIP
Telephone Service
– An alternative to the local telephone company service
– Media gateways will interconnect with the PSTN
– Should be less expensive that traditional phone service
– Questions remain
• Voice quality and reliability
• 911 and 911 location discovery
• Regulation and taxation
• Laws that require wiretapping with warrants
6-63
Topics Covered
Telecommunications
• Data Communications versus Telecommunications
• The PSTN’s Technical Elements
– Customer premises equipment (PBX and 4-pair UTP)
– Access system (local loop)
– Transport core
– Signaling (call setup and management)
• POP to interconnect carriers
6-65
Telecommunications
• Access Lines
– For residences, 1-pair voice-grade UTP
• DSL uses existing residential access lines to carry data
by changing the electronics at each end (DSL modem in
the home and DSLAM at the end office switch)
• DSL is cheap because 1-p VG UTP is already in place
– For businesses,
• 2-pair data-grade UTP for speeds up to a few Mbps
• Optical fiber for faster speeds
• Usually must be pulled into place, so expensive
– Eventually, fiber to the home (FTTH), FTTC, FTTN
6-66
PSTN Transmission
• Circuit Switching
– Reserved capacity end-to-end
– Acceptable for voice, but not for bursty data transmission
– Dial-up and leased line circuits
• Analog and Digital Transmission
– Analog signals on the local loop
– ADC and DAC at the end office switch
– ADC: bandpass filtering and sampling for 64 kbps
– DAC: sample values are converted to sound levels
6-67
Cellular Telephony
• Cells Allow Channel Reuse
– Channel reuse allows more customers to be served with
a limited number of channels
• GSM: most widely used technology for cellular
telephony
• CDMA for greater channel reuse
• Handoffs and Roaming
6-68
VoIP
• To allow voice to be carried over data networks
• Converge voice and data networks
• Phone needs a codec
• Transport: UDP header followed by RTP header
• Signaling: H.323 and SIP
