The model is intended to be representative of

11、 the transmission impairment conditions that will be encountered on both intracontinental and intercontinental connections i Recommendation V.56 bis (08/95) INTRODUCTION It has long been recognized that the test evaluation methodology used in Recommendation V.56 for evaluating modem performance does

12、 not provide a definitive answer for the user on how a particular modem will perform in the actual Network. This Recommendation has been developed with the understanding that the traditional technique for evaluating modem performance in the presence of Gaussian noise and other analogue transmission

13、parameters, did not effectively represent the vast majority of connections in the Network today that are digital transmission in nature. This Recommendation introduces the concept of using Network Model Coverage (NMC) as a tool for modem performance evaluation, and abandons the traditional method of

14、 Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR) (more recently referred to as 1 kHz Tone to Total Distortion ratio or TDD) waterfall performance curves. The concept of rating a modems performance statistically, based on the Likelihood Of Occurrence (LOO) of a given connection, is new to the industry. This new techniqu

15、e was first developed by CCITT SG XW (now ITU-T SG 14) for evaluating candidate modulation technologies for the then proposed CCIT V. fast study (now ITU-T Recommendation V.34), and is detailed in the test document referred to as the “V. fast test suite“ (CCITT SG XW D.229 - 1992). This methodology

16、was further refined by ANSI TIA TR-30.3 when creating ANSI TIA TSB-37A “Telephone Network Transmission Model for Evaluating Modem Performance“ approved in the United States in September 1994. The numerical values of the characteristic (impairment levels) of each type of connection, as well as the Li

17、kelihood Of Occurrence (LOO) of a certain type of connection, are based upon a model of the Network as is commonly found in the business environments in industrial countries. It has been assumed that the networks in these industrial countries are already primarily a digital Network. Additionally, it

18、 is further assumed that the Networks of all countries worldwide are evolving or will evolve towards a digital Network. Therefore, the characteristics and likelihood of occurrences proposed in this Recommendation are assumed to become more and more representative of the worldwide Network with each p

19、assing year. Depending on the country, the actual Network likelihoods of occurrences of particular Network combinations may vary significantly from this model. It is important to emphasize that the model is based on the available information on Network characteristics and not statistically valid sur

20、veys of the Network and that the Network is continually changing. Therefore, while the percentages of the Network Model Coverage (NMC) derived from tests using the model may provide a suitable basis for comparing modem performance, it should not be considered to be representative of actual Network c

21、overage. Differences in NMC percentages for different modems are more meaningful for modem comparisons in todays digital network than differences in the tolerance to noise obtained from traditional waterfall curve testing. This network model serves to remind the user that a large percentage of conne

22、ctions worldwide are very good lines and that most modems will perform suitably over a significant percentage of connections. The concept in the past was to create all severe stress conditions in which many modems would not even connect and yet the user knew that these same modems performed well mos

23、t of the time in the real network. As was the case in the V. fast test suite, IT-T SG 14 has developed a network model that contains three major sections, namely, local loop A, the 4-wire End-Office-to-End-Office (EO-EO) and local loop B. A LOO is assessed independently for each Test Loop Combinatio

24、n (TLC) and for each EO-EO setting. These are combined in such a way as to provide an overall NMC estimate for a particular modem as a percentage of the total network model for a specific data performance requirement. An important aspect of this network model is that there is a representative sample

25、 of local loop topologies and EO-EO facility combinations. The impedance characteristics, 1 kHz losses and frequency responses of the local loops are in Annex A, while the topology model of the loops is in Figure 2. The loss and frequency response characteristics of the EO-EO section are also in Ann

26、ex A while the network impairments associated with the EO-EO section are in Table 1. Recommendation V.56 bis (OW95) iii A LOO is assigned to each of the EO-EO impairment combinations in Table 1 and to each of the TLCs in Table 2. The scoring assessment of NMC using the complete model can be found in

27、 Table 3, while the scoring assessment for truncated versions of the model, representing decreasing percentages of the complete network model, are in Tables 4 through 6. The rationale for the network model, along with a description of the topology for EO-EO impairment combinations 1 through 16 (main

28、 body) and optional EO-EO impairment combinations 17 through 20 (Appendix I), is located in Appendix II. Test methods and procedures for bit- and block-error rate transmission performance has been included here in Appendix III. A supplemental test to determine the effects of low Round-Trip Delay (RT

29、D) on modem performance is contained in Appendix IV. iv Recommendation V.56 bis (08195) - ITU-T RECflN+V.Sb BIS 95 4862593 0608858 749 Recommendation V.56 bis NETWORK TRANSMISSION MODEL FOR EVALUATING MODEM PERFORMANCE OVER 2-WIRE VOICE GRADE CONNECTIONS - (Geneva, 1995) 1 Scope This Recommendation

30、contains the network model, test equipment configuration and calibration, and parameter values to be used in the evaluation and comparison of 2-wire modems. Means to reduce testing time are also specified in this Recommendation. This includes truncated network models and conditional testing procedur

31、es. The model is intended to be representative of the transmission impairment conditions encountered on intracontinental network connections within the continental United States, Europe and Asia and is represented in Table la. Additionally, Table la has been adjusted to account for the presence of t

32、he large Private Branch Exchange (PBX) systems commonly found in business environments. Finally, the model has been extended to include Intercontinental connections between the United States and both Europe and Asia and is represented by Table lb. The PBX systems represented are certainly not repres

33、entative of an exhaustive study of existing PBX systems as they are both too numerous and ever changing. However, it is felt that a substantial number of the larger PBX systems are represented by the transmission impairments in Tables la and lb. Each impairment combination has an associated “score“

34、that reflects the estimated LOO of a connection containing such impairments. The score provides a basis for estimating the percentage of connections (excluding those that may include trouble conditions or unusual conditions such as discussed in Appendix I) within a continental connection over which

35、a modem should be expected to provide satisfactory performance. For modems that adjust their transmission rate dependent upon the channel impairments, the model provides a basis for estimating the percentage for each rate at which operation is possible. It is important to emphasize that the model is

36、 based on the available information on network characteristics, not a statistically valid survey of the network and that the network is continually changing. Therefore, while the percentages of NMC derived from tests using the model may provide a suitable basis for comparing modems, it should only b

37、e considered as an indication of potential coverage of the real network. A satisfactory V.56 bis test result should be considered as an indication, not a formal assurance of success on any particular connection of the real network complying with relevant M- and G-Series Recommendations. This model a

38、ssumes that network echo cancellers, suppressors, and speech enhancement devices have been disabled. The model does not take into account the effects on performance of digital link slips (“Tl slips“), or automatic balancing of End-Office hybrids. Furthermore, loop current is not specified, nor are c

39、onditions for evaluating the compatibility of a modem with the range of loop currents that may be encountered. The derivation of the model impairment combinations is discussed in Appendix II. This Recommendation also contains network conditions (Appendix I) covering very unusual situations that an i

40、ndividual user may encounter on all or most intercontinental connections. While these conditions may represent a very small percentage of connections, they are important in providing a basis for explaining the limited performance that may be available to individual users. This Recommendation also co

41、ntains an intercontinental network model (Appendix II). The model does not include scores for the different impairment combinations such as provided in the intercontinental network model. However, the impairment combinations that represent unusual conditions are distinguished from those that represe

42、nt conditions that have a significant LOO.
