 Digitizing Analog Signals

1. Sample the analog signal regularly

2. Quantize the sample
3. Encode the value into a binary expression
4. Compress the samples to reduce bandwidth
(multiplexing), optional step

 Quantization

IP Telephony © 2005 Cisco Systems, Inc. All rights reserved. Cisco Public 15
 Quantization Techniques

• Linear
Uniform quantization

• Logarithmic quantization
Compands the signal
Provides a more uniform signal-to-noise ratio

• Two methods
α-law (most countries)
μ-law (Canada, U.S., and Japan)

 Voice-Compression Techniques

• Waveform algorithms
PCM
ADPCM

• Source algorithms
LDCELP
CS-ACELP

IP Telephony © 2005 Cisco Systems, Inc. All rights reserved. Cisco Public 17
 Example: Waveform Compression

• PCM
Waveform coding scheme
• ADPCM
Waveform coding scheme
Adaptive: automatic companding
Differential: encode changes between samples only
• ITU standards:
G.711 rate: 64 kbps = (2 x 4 kHz) x 8 bits/sample
G.726 rate: 32 kbps = (2 x 4 kHz) x 4 bits/sample
G.726 rate: 24 kbps = (2 x 4 kHz) x 3 bits/sample
G.726 rate: 16 kbps = (2 x 4 kHz) x 2 bits/sample

IP Telephony © 2005 Cisco Systems, Inc. All rights reserved. Cisco Public 18
 Example: Source Compression

• CELP
Hybrid coding scheme

• High-quality voice at low bit rates, processor

intensive
• G.728: LDCELP—16 kbps
• G.729: CS-ACELP—8 kbps
G.729A variant—8 kbps, less processor intensive, allows
more voice channels encoded per DSP
Annex-B variant –VAD and CNG

IP Telephony © 2005 Cisco Systems, Inc. All rights reserved. Cisco Public 19
 G.729 and G.729A Comparison

• Both are ITU standards

• Both are 8 kbps CS-ACELP
• G.729 more complex and processor intensive
• G.729 slightly higher quality than G.729A
• Compression delay the same (10 to 20 ms)
• Annex-B variant may be applied to either

IP Telephony © 2005 Cisco Systems, Inc. All rights reserved. Cisco Public 20
 Real-Time Transport Protocol

• Provides end-to-end network functions and delivery

services for delay-sensitive, real-time data, such as
voice and video
• Works with queuing to prioritize voice traffic over
other traffic
• Services include:
Payload type identification
Sequence numbering
Timestamping
Delivery monitoring

IP Telephony © 2005 Cisco Systems, Inc. All rights reserved. Cisco Public 21
 Real-Time Transport Control Protocol

• Monitors the quality of the data distribution and

provides control information
• Provides feedback on current network conditions
• Allows hosts involved in an RTP session to
exchange information about monitoring and
controlling the session
• Provides a separate flow from RTP for UDP
transport use

IP Telephony © 2005 Cisco Systems, Inc. All rights reserved. Cisco Public 22
 RTP Header Compression

• RTP header compression saves bandwidth by

compressing packet headers across WAN links

IP Telephony © 2005 Cisco Systems, Inc. All rights reserved. Cisco Public 23
 When to Use RTP Header Compression

• Narrowband links
• Slow links (less than 2 Mbps)
• Need to conserve bandwidth on a WAN interface

 Challenges and Solutions in VoIP

IP Telephony © 2005 Cisco Systems, Inc. All rights reserved. Cisco Public 25
 Reliability and Availability

• Traditional telephony networks claim 99.999%

uptime
• Data networks must consider reliability and
availability requirements when incorporating voice
• Methods to improve reliability and availability
include:
Redundant hardware
Redundant links
UPS
Proactive network management

• The access VLAN is used for the PC plugged into the IP
phone
• The voice VLAN is used for voice and signaling that originates
and terminates on the IP phone
• Spanning tree portfast enables the port to initialize quickly

 DHCP Service Setup

Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol

• Assigns an IP addresses and subnet masks for one
or more subnets
• Optionally can assign a default gateway
• Optionally can assign DNS servers
• Optionally can assign other commonly used
servers
• The DHCP scope can be customized to assign a
TFTP server to IP phones
• Best practice is to configure a DHCP scope for the
IP phones

IP Telephony © 2005 Cisco Systems, Inc. All rights reserved. Cisco Public 53
 DHCP Service Setup (Cont.)

DHCP Service Options

• Single DHCP IP Address Pool
• Separate DHCP IP Address Pool for Each Cisco IP
Phone
• DHCP Relay Server

IP Telephony © 2005 Cisco Systems, Inc. All rights reserved. Cisco Public 54
 DHCP Service Setup (Cont.): Phone Bootup

On the Cisco CME router a DHCP

The IP phone powers on Scope can be configured. The
scope should define the following:
The phone performs a • Range of available IP addresses
Power on Self Test (POST)
• The subnet mask
The phone boots up • A default gateway
• The address of the TFTP server
Through CDP the IP phone learns
what the auxiliary VLAN is • DNS server(s)

The phone initializes the IP stack

Step 2 - The phone returns the FLP to the

switch due to a completed circuit

Express System
Three ways to setup phones:
• Manual
Numerous commands from the CLI
Requires knowledge of Cisco CME commands
Phones entered manually
• Partially automated
Numerous commands from the CLI
Requires knowledge of Cisco CME commands
Simplifies deployment of many IP phones
• Automated
Few commands needed from the CLI

 Partially Automated Setup: Overview

• Partially Automated Setup

• Is the same as a manual setup except for deploying
phones
• Deployment of IP phones is automated
• Uses the “auto assign” command
• All ephone-dns must be the same type (single-line
or dual-line)

auto assign 11 to 20 type 7940
• When an new IP phone registers with the auto assign 21 to 40 type 7960
Cisco CME system, this creates a new
ephone with the MAC address of the IP auto assign 41 to 50
phone ...

• A pre-existing ephone-dn is assigned to the ephone-dn 1 dual-line

new ephone; this is selected from the range number 1000

defined for the type of phone ...

• The lowest unassigned ephone-dn in matching statement range will

be used
• If all ephone-dns in a range have been assigned, some phones may
not receive an ephone-dn or may overflow to the general auto assign
without a type
• If the new IP phone does not match any auto assign with a type, then
the auto assign without a type will be used

• All commands can be entered from the CLI

• Good for experienced administrators
