PSTN
Packet switching
NGN
Packet Switching
Refers to protocols in which messages are divided into packets before they are sent. Each
packet is then transmitted individually and can even follow different routes to its
destination. Once all the packets forming a message arrive at the destination, they are
recompiled into the original message. Most modern Wide Area Network (WAN)
protocols, including TCP/IP, X.25, and Frame Relay, are based on packet-switching
technologies. Packet switching is more efficient and robust for data that can withstand
some delays in transmission, such as e-mail messages and Web pages.

IMS (IP Multimedia Subsystem)
IMS
IMS, IP multimedia subsystem, itself is not a
technology, but rather it is an architecture
IMS (IP Multimedia Subsystem) is an emerging architectural
framework, based on SIP and IP, for offering multimedia and VoIP
services, as well as fixed mobile convergence. IMS has been
standardized by the 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP)

IMS Protocols
SIP (Session Initiation Protocol)
SIP is an simple, flexible protocol for creating, modifying, and
terminating sessions
Works independently of underlying transport protocols
Diameter
The Diameter base protocol is intended to provide an
Authentication, Authorization and Accounting (AAA) framework for
applications
Base on RADIUS protocol
Functionalities
• setup
• Control
• Terminate
Signaling types Used in
Telephone Networks
• Channel Associated Signaling (CAS)– each voice
(data) channel has assigned a separate signaling
channel.
Ex. R2
FSK- CLI
• –ServiceChange
• –Notify
• –Add
• –Modify
• –Subtract
• –Move
• –AuditValue
• –AuditCapability
SIP
Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) is a signaling protocol
used for initiating, maintaining, modifying and
terminating real-time sessions that involve video,
voice, messaging and other communications
applications and services between two or more
endpoints on IP networks.
SIP Massages
• INVITE
– Initiates Sessions/Calls
– Session description included in message body offers
supported applications to request recipient:
audio, video, …
• ACK
– Confirms Session Establishment
– Can only be used with INVITE
• CANCEL
– Cancels a pending INVITE
• BYE
– Terminates Sessions
SS7 to SIP Mapping
•IAM = INVITE
•ACM = 180 RINGING
•ANM = 200 OK
•RLS = BYE
•RLC = 200 OK
SIP call setup
CODECs
• Codecs are used to convert an analog voice signal
to digitally encoded version. Codecs vary in the
sound quality, the bandwidth required, the
computational requirements, etc.
• G.711 (64kbps)
• G.729 (8kbps)
• G.722.2/AMR-WB (23.85/23.05/19.85/18.25/15.85/14.25/12.65/8.85/6.6 kbps)
Fax Protocols
T.30 – Analogue protocol used to control and transmit faxes
T.38 – Digital protocol that allows faxes to be passed over a data network
T.38 protocol doesn’t replace T.30, it sits on top of it, and makes it
compatible for transmission over a computer network
QOS of VOIP
What is Quality of VoIP?
In VoIP, quality simply means being able to listen and speak in
a clear and continuous conversation, without interruption.
Rejection
An attempt become a call rejection when it is
rejected by the system, may be due to insufficient
equipment or capacity in the telecommunication
network
Holding Time- HT
Circuit usage time between two exchanges (whether
an actual conversation occurred or not)
HT=Dialing Time + Processing Time+ Conversation
Time+ Clear Down Time
Terms in Telephony Traffic
Busy Hour Call Attempts –BHCA
The number of call attempts to a Telephone
exchange during the busiest hour of the day
Terms in Telephony Traffic
CCR - Call Completion Ratio
The completed call attempts during the busy hour.
This indicator takes into account outgoing, incoming,
and local calls.
CCR = Total number of completed calls x 100
Total number of call handled
“Completed call” means a call, which ends in a
conversation or charging message
“Call handled” means a call processed by a system.
incomplete dialing is not taken into account
Terms in Telephony Traffic
Erlang [E]
A unit of measurement of traffic density in a
telecommunications system. The erlang describes
the total traffic volume of one hour
Terms in Telephony Traffic
• Erlang B -- the most commonly used traffic model.
Erlang B is used to work out how many lines are
required if the traffic figure during the busiest hour
is known. This model assumes that all blocked calls
are cleared immediately.
• Erlang C -- this model assumes that all blocked calls
are queued in the system until they can be
handled. Call centers can use this calculation to
determine how many call agents to staff, based on
the number of calls per hour, the average duration
of calls and the amount of time calls are left in the
queue.
Traffic Formula
Total Traffic (E) = BHCA x MHT (Hrs)
