(Continuation of Questions 6/15 and part of Question 5/15)
Background and justification
Voice-band compression equipment is utilized worldwide to
optimize transmission bandwidth capacity. SG 15 has developed the
Recommendations for Circuit Multiplication Equipment such as
G.763, G.764, G.765, G.766 and G.767 and related TMN aspects such
as G.776.1 and G.776.3. As traffic characteristics change, there
is a market need to apply the following aspects in a new
generation of compression equipment reflecting the experiences
gained from previous generations of equipment:
- Enhancement of signal compression techniques to accommodate
new types of signals
- Enhancement of channel multiplexing capabilities to
accommodate new types of services
- Introduction of voice band signals compression equipment to
IP Networks
- Enhancement of system controls to maintain end-to-end signal
qualities as high as possible
- Responsibility under this question includes the G.76x series
of Recommendations
Question
- What new or revised signal compression techniques should be used?
- How should the Recommendations be updated to account for changes in
end-user equipment technologies?
- How can the capabilities of voice-band signal compression
equipment be extended to account for new network services?
- How can the user ensure proper end-to-end operation of
voice-band signals compression equipment?
- What new, modified, or adapted techniques are to be utilized
within voice-band signals compression equipment for ATM or IP networks?
- How should Common aspects of CME be recommended to enable
versatile interface to networks and OAM facilities?
Study items
Study items to be considered include:
- Evaluation/development of traffic signal classification schemes
- Evaluation/development of data demodulation/remodulation
mechanisms for voice band signal compression equipment
- Evaluation/development of tandem avoidance operational
mechanisms for voice band signal compression equipment
- Evaluation/development of schemes for nx64 kbit/s
unrestricted services
- Enhancement of Rec. G.766 to handle higher bit-rate and T.30
NSF protocol signals of facsimile
- Definition of rules for automatic activation of forward error
correction on demodulated facsimile traffic
- Definition of additional controls for built-in echo
cancellation capabilities implemented in voice-band signals
compression equipment
- Addition of capability to request and provide end-to-end
provisioning parameters, traffic engineering and facility
performance information in voice-band signals compression equipment
- Addition of real-time configuration access to voice-band
signals compression equipment
- Mechanism for reflecting ATM or IP congestion information to
corresponding PDH access side
- Mechanism for maintaining QoS in ATM and IP Networks
- Identifying system parameters required for voice-band signals
compression equipment
- Specifying interfaces
- Specifying Operations and Administration aspects of Digital
Circuit Multiplication Equipment (DCME), Voice on ATM
Multiplication Equipment (VAME) and Circuit Multiplication
Equipment Optimised for IP based Networks (IPCME)
- Activities to enhance reliability of its Recommendations,
e.g. interoperability. The question will actively participate in
pre-standardization testing activities formed to such regard
