switches
trunks
lines
station equipment (e.g. telephone sets, MODEMs, FAX machines, …)
transmission equipment (e.g. repeaters, multiplexers, DCS)
network signaling and control (e.g. SS7 and IN)

Seizure is detected when current flows
through local loop, due to off-hook

Digitizing Voice: PCM
Waveform Encoding
• Nyquist Theorem: sample at twice the
highest frequency
Voice frequency range: 300-3400 Hz
Sampling frequency = 8000/sec (every 125us)
Bit rate: (2 x 4 Khz) x 8 bits per sample
= 64,000 bits per second (DS-0)
• By far the most commonly used method
CODEC

Voice Compression
• Objective: reduce bandwidth
consumption
Compression algorithms are optimized for voice
Unlike data compression: these are “loose”
• Drawbacks/tradeoffs
Quantization distortion
Tandem switching degradation
Delay (echo)
29
Digital Speech Interpolation
(DSI)
• Voice Activity Detection (VAD)
• Removal of voice silence
• Examines voice for power, change of power,
frequency and change of frequency
• All factors must indicate voice “fits into the
window” before cells are constructed
• Automatically disabled for fax/modem

Voice Network Transport
• Voice Network Transport is typically
TDM circuit-based:
T1/E1
DS3/E3
SONET (OC3, OC12, etc.)
• But can also be packet-based:
