24、. For the purposes of this Recommendation an ALC device is defined as any piece of signal processing equipment located in the digital transmission path which automatically adjusts the level of a signal towards a pre-determined value, or which modifies the frequency response or spectral content of th

25、e signal in such a way as to affect the overall level of the signal. In a communication system one of the significant transmission parameters that can affect perceived quality is the overall loudness rating of the connection. This loudness level is controlled by the characteristics of the originatin

26、g terminal, the loss of the network which is comprised of accesses, switches, circuits, and the terminating terminal. The purpose of the audio path associated with the end-to-end connection is to facilitate the transfer of intelligence. Transfer of intelligence by communication involves not just the

27、 content of what is said but is affected by the ability of the speaker to rapidly change the volume of the speech, to convey emotion for example. This Recommendation has been prepared to provide planning guidance for the placement of network based ALC devices that can arbitrarily change the signal l

28、evel and bandwidth of a communication channel. This Recommendation provides guidelines which, if followed, should ensure that network implemented with ALC devices will result in implementations that continue to be aligned with published ITU- T Recommendations. 2 References The following ITU-T Recomm

37、the range of acceptable end-to-end connection losses. The ITU-T has accepted the concept that customers may wish to modify the end-to-end connection loss and thus ITU-T Recommendations now make provision for the use of volume controls on terminal equipment, e.g. on telephone sets and automatic level

38、 control devices on audio conference bridges. Further, the placement of ALC devices should be consistent with the planning guidance provided in the following Recommendations, viz. G.122 - Influence of national systems on stability and talker echo in intemational connections, G.126 - Listener echo in

39、 telephone networks, G.131 - Control of talker echo, and G.175 - Transmission planning for private/public network interconnection of voice traffic. It is recognized that the use of ALC devices can change the real time dynamics of a conversation and as a result, the transmission impairments that resu

40、lt from ALC devices must be controlled. Further, it is recognized that unless the placement of ALC devices within networks is performed in an orderly fashion, the integrity of the networks can be compromised. The following guidelines present a set of rules which if followed should result in acceptab

41、le network implementations. 4 Automatic Level Control devices Specific guidelines for deployment of ALCs may vary between national networks and even between networks within the same country. These guidelines are usually established in consideration of performance and customer expectations, competiti

42、ve pressures, specific business goals, economic and technological constraints, etc. As a practical matter they must take into consideration the routing and the technology used to provide the connection. 4.1 Application guidelines The following are a set of general application guidelines for Automati

43、c Level Control devices which are compliant with Recommendation G.169. It is recognized that while there may be a need to develop application guidelines for ALC devices within national networks, that the generation of national guidelines is a national matter and thus is outside the scope of this Rec

44、ommendation. 1) An ALC device should only be placed on connections which are equipped with active echo cancellers, e.g. echo cancellers which are compliant with Recommendation G.165 - Echo cancellers or G. 168 - Digital network echo cancellers. 2 Recommendation 6.136 (09/99) 2) An ALC device should

45、not be placed in the tail path of the echo canceller that is performing the echo control function for that connection. (When echo cancellers are tandemed only one of the echo cancellers is performing the echo cancelling functionality for that connection. The ALC device must not appear in the tail of

46、 the canceller that is performing the echo control function,) ALC devices should never operate in tandem. An ALC device should operate on signals received from other Administrations and should not modify a signal that is to passed to another Administration, unless there is a bilateral agreement to d

47、o so. 3) 4) 5 An ALC device is a particular type of device that incorporates a speech processing function that acts upon a unidirectional speech signal. Thus, it is expected that ALC devices placed within the network will operate at a 4-wire point in the connection. This Recommendation is not intend

48、ed to preclude any implementation scheme and recognizes that there may be implementation benefits if the ALC functionality is integrated into a device which also performs other speech processing functions, e.g. an echo canceller function.
