Telecommunication Switching Network
Basic Terms Calling subscriber initiates the call Called subscriber call is destined to Setting up connection to required destination information sent to serving exchange. May pass through several exchanges (all exchanges on route). Signaling required to draw attention of the called subscriber 4
Modes of Communication Simplex One way communication involving two entities Half-duplex An entity is capable of both transmitting and receiving but not simultaneously Full-duplex Information transfer takes place in both the directions 5
A Network with a Point-to-point Link N entities, Number of links (L) = (n-1) + (n -2) + 1 + 0 = n (n-1)/2 6

Tele-traffic Nonblocking network networks with N subscribers has N/2 simultaneous switching paths Blocking Network number of simultaneous switching paths is less than number of simultaneous conversation that can take place Erlang(E) internationally accepted standard for traffic intensity A switching resource is said to carry one Erlang of traffic if it is continuously occupied throughout a given period of observation 10
Evolution of Switching System Space Switch 11
Manual System Obtain the number to connect from caller Connect the call of the called line (inserting plug of cord circuit) Alerts the called customer Monitoring process called supervision 12
Strowger Step-by-Step Connections are set up in stages called progressive control. The uniselectors act as concentrator at each customer premise. The final is the expander. 13
Crossbar Switching Strowger switches require regular maintenance. Replace manual operated switch by matrix telephone relays called Matrix Crosspoints. The switch retains a set of contacts at each crosspoint. Contacts are multiplied together. Uneconomic as N inlets and N outlets requires N 2 relays. 14
Electronic Switching Facilities controlled by customers Call barring, Repeat last call, Reminder calls, Call diversion, Three way calls, Charge advice Multiplex System FDM TDM Space Division (SD) System Connection is made over a different path in. Time Division (TD) System connection made over the same path but different instant in time. 15

Time Division Multiplexing Subdivide the capacity of a digital transmission system into parts in time. STDM Synchronous TDM Time slots are assigned in repetitive manner ATDM Asynchronous TDM Assign capacity as and when needed 17
Four Channel TDM Frame Structure 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4 1 Frame Bit Interleaving 4 4 1 1 1 1 2 2 2 2 3 3 3 3 4 4 4 4 1 1 1 1 Frame 4-bit word Interleaving 18
Frame Synchronization Extra frame bit is added, or some data bit treated as frame bits to ensure resume of new frame. For T1 channel structure, 24 channels are multiplexed having frame length of 193bits (24 8 + 1)bits. Average frame acquisition time F t is important for frame synchronization 19
Frame Synchronization Assume F t uses 1 framing bit per frame with alternating ones and zeros F t = avg. time required to examine the required number of bits before a framing bit is hit upon F t = avg. time required to test and ensure that chosen bit is a frame bit F t = F t F t This implies bits are chosen one by one and tested sequentially 20
Frame Synchronization p = prob. of finding a 1 in a bit position q = p -1 = prob. of finding a 0 in a bit position If the first bit observed is a 1, then the probability that a mismatch occurs at the end of, One frame = p Two frame = q.q = q 2 Three frames = q.p.p = qp 2 Four frames = q.p.q.q = q 3 p Five frames = q.p.q.p.p = q 2 p 3 Six frames = q.p.q.p.q.q = q 4 p 2 Hence F t = p + 2q 2 + 3qp 2 + 4q 3 p + 5q 2 p 3 + 6q 4 p 2 21
Frame Synchronization Assume, p = q Then, F t = p/(1-p) 2 frame times Setting p =1/2, F t = 2 frame times = 2N bit times Average number of bits that must be tested before the framing bit is encountered is N/2, i.e.f t = (N/2) F t = (2N)(N/2) = N 2 bit times 22
Added Channel Framing Recent technique use dedicated separate channel for framing Framing digits are added in a group CCITT multiplexing standard 32 channels per frame with one channel carrying framing information, one channel signalling information, and 30 channels for data 2 N N For multibit frame code, F t 2(2 L 1) 2 bits N = length of the frame L = length of the frame code Assumption: 1 and 0 occurs with equal probability 23
