PSTN
Review
The PSTN circa 1900
pair of copper wires
“local loop”
manual routing at local exchange office (CO)
• Analog voltage travels over copper wire end-to-end
• Voice signal arrives at destination severely attenuated and distorted
• Routing performed manually at exchanges office(s)
• Routing is expensive and lengthy operation
• Route is maintained for duration of call

Multiplexing
1900: 25% of telephony revenues went to copper mines



standard was 18 gauge, long distance even heavier
two wires per loop to combat cross-talk
needed method to place multiple conversations on a single trunk
1918: “Carrier system” (FDM)



5 conversations on single trunk
later extended to 12 (group)
still later supergroups, master groups, supermaster groups
1963: T-carrier system (TDM)

T1 = 24 conversations per trunk

PSTN
Review
Signaling
PSTN with automatic switching requires signaling
The present PSTN has thousands of features
and all require signaling support
Examples:
On-hook / off-hook
Pulse / Tone dialing
Receiver off-hook
Call waiting
Caller number identification
Call forwarding
Hook-flash
Fax transmission detect
Inter-CO messaging
Echo cancellation
Voice mail
Conference calls
Coin-drop
Billing

Signaling Methods
Signaling can be performed in many ways

Analog voltage signaling loop-start, ground-start, E&M

In-band signaling DTMF, MFR1, MFR2

Channel associated signaling (CAS) AB bits, ABCD bits

Common channel signaling (CCS) SS7, QSIG
– Trunk Associated CCS
– Separate signaling network CCS


FXO/FXS
Foreign Exchange Office / Foreign Exchange Subscriber
FXS is like exchange - provides voltage, ringing, dialtone
FXO is like a phone - requires voltage, detect ring, etc.
When connecting PBX to CO, PBX is FXO, CO is FXS

PSTN
Review
Optimized Telephony Routing
Circuit switching (route is maintained for duration of call)
Route “set-up” is an expensive operation, just as it was for manual switching
Today, complex least cost routing algorithms are used
Call duration consists of set-up, voice and tear-down phases

PSTN
Review
The PSTN circa 1960
trunks
circuits
local loop
subscriber line
automatic routing through universal telephone network
• Analog voltages used throughout, but extensive Frequency Division Multiplexing
• Voice signal arrives at destination after amplification and filtering to 4 KHz
• Automatic routing
• Universal dial-tone
• Voltage and tone signaling
• Circuit switching (route is maintained for duration of call)

Slide 17
PSTN
Review
The Digitalization of the PSTN
Shannon (Bell Labs) proved
Digital
Communications
Analog
is better than Communications
and the PSTN became digital
Better means

More efficient use of resources (e.g. more channels on trunks)

Higher voice quality (less noise, less distortion)

Added features
telephony
Slide 18
PSTN
Review
Timing
In addition to voice, the digital PSTN transports timing

This timing information is essential because of
– the universal use of TDM
– the requirement of accurate playback (especially for fax/modem)

Receiving switches can recover the clock of the transmitting switch

Every telephony network has an accurate clock called “stratum 1”
Clocks synchronized to it are called “stratum 2”
Clocks synchronized to them are called “stratum 3”
and so on

Review
The Present PSTN
core
backbone
subscriber line
PSTN Network
• Analog voltages and copper wire used only in “last mile”,
but core designed to mimic original situation
• Voice signal filtered to 4 KHz at input to digital network
• Time Division Multiplexing of digital signals in the network
• Extensive use of fiber optic and wireless physical links
• T1/E1, PDH and SONET/SDH “synchronous” protocols
• Signaling can be channel/trunk associated or via separate network (SS7)
• Automatic routing
• Circuit switching (route is maintained for duration of call)
• Complex routing optimization algorithms (LP, Karmarkar, etc)

PSTN
Review
Nonvoice services
The PSTN can even be used to transport non-voice signals
such as
FAX
or
VoP course
DATA
PSTN

These services disguise themselves as voice by using a modem

Proper timing is essential

Special signaling is required
– turn off LEC
– turn off call waiting
– service recognition
– capabilities negotiation
– mutual identification
– end of page/document
– modem recognition
– modem training
– data compression
