2. Frame Relay


A protocol standard for sending information,
which is divided into frames or packets, over a
wide area network.
A fast and efficient packet-switching technology





A Frame-Relay network doesn't perform error detection
The intelligent network devices connected to a FrameRelay network are responsible for the error correction
and frame formatting
Frame Relay typically operates at 56 Kbps to
1.544 Mbps.
Frame Relay is protocol independent, it can
process traffic from different networking
protocols like IP, IPX, and SNA.
Multiple logical connections can be established
over a single physical connection

T
FR data packet
-Translating existing data
communications protocols for
transmission over a Frame-Relay
network
- Routing the data across the
network to another frame router or
other Frame-Relay compatible
device
- Handling many types of
protocols, including LAN protocols
- Each router supports one of
many physical data interfaces and
can provide several user ports.
PVC
FR data
packet
- Frame Relay sends
information in packets
called frames through a
shared Frame-Relay
network.
- A frame contains all
the information
necessary to route it to
the correct destination
H
B
router
DLCI: Data-Link Connection identifier, represents the address of the frame
and corresponds to a PVC.
C/R: Command/Response Field Bit, designates whether the frame is a
command or response.
EA: Extension Bit, can be used for expanding the number of possible
addresses.
DE: Discard Eligibility Indicator, provides the network a signal to determine
which frame to discard. When there is a congestion on the line, in order to
free the line, the network will discard frames with a DE value of 1 before
discarding other frames.
FECN: Forward Explicit Congestion Notification. If FECN is changed to 1 as
a frame is sent downstream toward the destination location when congestion
occurs during data transmission.
BECN: Backward Explicit Congestion Notification. If BECN is changed to 1
as a frame traveling back toward the source of data transmission on a path
where congestion is occurring.
FCS: Frame Check Sequence
CIR



Committed Information Rate
Instead of being allocated a fixed
amount of bandwidth, Frame-Relay
services offer a CIR at which data is
transmitted.
If traffic and the service agreement
allow, data can burst above the
committed rate.
13
PVC

Permanent Virtual Circuits

A PVC is a dedicated connection through the shared Frame-Relay network
replacing a dedicated end to-end line.
A PVC is needed for each site in the network. But in a Frame Relay network,
the bandwidth is shared among multiple users. So any single site can
communicate with any other single site without the need for multiple
dedicated lines.
PVCs function via a Local Management Interface (LMI), which provides
control procedures. The control procedures function in three ways:






link integrity verification initiated by the user device
network status report giving details of all PVCs
network notification of whether a PVC's status changes from active to inactive
Data-Link Connections (DLCs) are PVCs pre-configured by both sides of
the connection. The DLC identifier (DLCI) is used as the logical address for
frame-layer multiplexing.

is based around 64-QAM, although higher order modulation
schemes are also supported.

3.3 Introduction to DAB




DAB: Digital audio broadcasting
Based on two techniques

Musicam
 is a digital compression system based on MPEG technology
 makes the signal down to 10 times lighter
 provides an CD-like quality of sounds
 enables the association of data to the audio programmes (title, CD cover,
author of the song)

Digicast
 eliminates traditional reception problems (distortion, interferences, etc.) by
spreading signals in time on several frequencies. The information that are
broadcast separately remain linked by encoding.
 eliminates interferences ; propagation echoes become an advantage by
enforcing the reception quality including in more complex areas.
 is able to send independently audio Streams (ex : Musicam) and Packet
Datas (ex : NPAD)
Operating via multiplexes. Each multiplex is composed of programmes and
associated services. A sole transmitter can broadcast several programmes. The
output can be up to 1.5 Mbps.
Supporting Datacasting
29
DATACASTING : DATA BROADCASTING VIA DAB
Procedures on data sending and receiving

At the sending end,



User’s data files being sent to the local uplink site of the DAB
services provider, such as WorldSpace, via FTP or other means.
The services provider‘s scheduler at the uplink site
automatically picks up the data and places it into the
defined bin at which point it is sent up to the satellite.
At the receiving end,


A PC-adaptor, connected to a satellite digital receiver and a PC
transforms the receiver into a one-way satellite modem that can
receive data at the rate up to 128 kbps.
The delivered files are stored in the end user's designated
directory on the hard drive.
