The World Telecommunication Standardization Conference (WTSC), which meets every four years, establishes the topics for study by the ITU-T Study Groups which, in their turn, produce Recommendations on these topics. The approval of Recommendations

15、 traffic containing voice, Voice Band Data (VBD) and the facsimile portion of Voice Band Data (VBD) traffic. Dimensioning method for DCME system, described in this Recommendation, deals with a group of trunks (circuit group, as defined in Recommendation E.600) between two switches, where DCMEs are u
16、sed to achieve a statistical multiplexing gain. The purpose of the dimensioning method is to determine the size of the group of trunks, the number and properties of the DCME output (bearer) channels and the number of DCMEs for specific traffic mixes - voice, VBD and facsimile to provide a satisfacto

The DCME gain is described in this Recommendation as a ratio of a number of trunk channels to a number of available bearer channels and is used to
18、 determine availability and specific properties of the DCME bearer channels. This Recommendation deals with a point-to-point DCME single clique operation configuration. Dimensioning of complex multicliquelmultidestination types of DCME systems is for further study. 2 References The following Recomme

34、ed to networks containing DCME is determined in accordance with methods specified in the E.500-Series of Recommendations. Determination of a DCME gain, as a prerequisite for DCME dimensioning, for the overall composite traffic load requires distinction (in accordance with Recommendation E.301) among
35、 and between voice, VBD (non-facsimile and facsimile). Determination of GOS and QOS should provide an initial input for dimensioning of DCME systems; in the ISDN case Recommendation E.721 should provide the necessary guidance in respect to GOS parameters. The following parameters are considered for
36、dimensioning of DCME systems: Determining Quality of Service (QOS) and Grade of Service (GOS) parameters - QOS: 0 level of the front-end clipping; a tolerated number of bit per sample used for speech encoding. - GOS: call blocking probability. 5.2 The following principles are observed in the DCME di
37、mensioning method described in this Recommendation: General principles of dimensioning method A single link of point-to-point DCME is dimensioned by calculating DCh4E gain for voice, the number of necessary nibbles (size of bearer channel) and DCME gain for assumed trunk capacity and traffic mix. Th
38、en, the necessary number of DCME links for the given trunk group is determined, to meet the required call blocking probability objectives. 5.3 Parameters relevant to dimensioning calculations 5.3.1 General parameters 0 0 A number of trunk channels versus a number of bearer channels. Trunk channel oc
39、cupancy and speech activity. It is usual to assume a 35% to 40% of speech activity depending on the type of a language. Outside of the route busy hour occupancy of the trunk channels is lower than in the busy hour. This dictates a reduction of the Speech Activity Factor to about 27% outside the busy
40、 hour to allow the maximum of 40% during the busy hour. Recommendation ES28 (OU96) 3 VBD traffic. A factor to be considered is a percentage of the VBD traffic that may vary depending upon the route and time of day. Ratio of half-to-full duplex VBD. 0 Signalling between DCMEs may hold channels active
41、. for significant periods not allowing any interpolation during the signalling processing periods. 64 kbiils clear channel traffic. A significant factor is a required number of 64 kbit/s clear channels, each absorbing two 32 kbiils bearer channels. Minimum acceptable speech quality. It is determined
42、 by the encoding rate of the LE process and by the amount of speech lost while newly active trunk channels are being connected to bearer channels. If a large number of these channels are in competition, the beginning of a speech burst is more likely to be clipped; if relatively few trunk channels ar
43、e active, a part of a speech burst could be frozen. 5.3.2 ADPCM mode for Low Rate Encoding The ADPCM method is assumed to be used for coding speech with bit rates less than 64 kbitfs (e.g. the 32 kbiils). This technique is commonly used in DCME to increase the circuit capacity. The ADPCM increases t
44、he channel occupancy by means of encoding at a lower number of bit per sample than the PCM. An ordinary PCM encodes a voice channel at 64 kbiils using a rate of 8-biilsample encoding. The ADPCM coding takes into account the nature of a signal, and is capable of reducing the encoding rate: 5-bit/samp
45、le for VBD signals at 40 kbids data rate; 0 4-biilsample for a regular voice signal at 32 kbiils data rate; 3- or 2-bidsample for an overload-voice signal, corresponding to 24 kbiils and 16 kbiils data rates. Compressing the signai by the ADPCM in this manner could double the channel capacity. 5.3.3
46、 Digital Speech Interpolation The DSI method is assumed to be used for speech processing. This technique minimizes inactive periods during a conversation, creating extra channel occupancy. The gain based on the DSI processing is defined as the ratio of a number of voice channels over a number of bea
47、rer nibbles (4-bit segments) required to accommodate the voice channels with a given (user determined) level of speech quality. Typically a gain of up to 3: 1 (minimum of 2: 1) could be produced by the DSI processing for the speech activity of 30% to 40%. Interpolated voice channels are assigned to
48、available bearer channels. If a bearer capacity is not available when a voice channel becomes active, front-end clipping of the voice spurt occurs. Overload bearer channels are created to reduce the clipping probability during the peak traffic conditions. This in turn requires reduction of the ADPCM
49、 encoding rate for voice channels from normal 4-biilsample to a lower value; typically, greater or equal to 3-biilsample of 3/4-bit overload condition and greater or equal to 2-bit/sample for 2/3-bit overload condition. 5.4 DCME gain determination (in accordance with Recommendation 6.766) 5.4.1 DCME gain for voice G, Equations for G, calculation provided in Annex B are quoted from Recommendation G.763.
