15、uction This Recommendation applies to all digital telecommunications exchanges operating in a switched telephone network and ISDN. Traffic measurements on exchanges and surrounding network provide the database from which the dimensioning, planning, operation and management of the network are carried

16、 out. Information gathered from these measurements can be used for: - - - The above data and information are gathered with the purpose of supporting the following fundamental activities: a) dimensioning, planning and administration of the exchange and surrounding network; b) performance monitoring o

17、f the exchange and surrounding network; c) network management; d) operation and maintenance of the exchange and surrounding network; e) tariff and marketing studies; 0 forecasting; The information generated by the exchange (see ITU-T 4.544) can be provided to the end user in either real time or non-

18、real time (post processed). The activities being performed by the end user will dictate the speed of this response: for example, operation and maintenance will require real-time information while the forecasting and planning information can be provided after the event in non-real time. identifymg tr

The data analysis may be performed by the exchange itself or by another system depending on the following: - total amount of data; - - p

22、lause establishes the basic structure for a traffic measurement model that can be applied to measurements of traffic generated by the telephony service and ISDN. A measurement is identified by three basic elements: time, entities, objects. Time includes all the necessary information to define the st

23、art, the duration and periodicity of a certain measurement. Entities describe the quantities for which data collection must be performed with a certain measurement. Objects are individual items on which the measurements are performed. Some examples of entities and objects are given below: Entities:

24、- traffic volume; - number of call attempts; - number of seizures; - - Objects: - subscriber line groups; - circuit groups; - common control units; - auxiliary devices; - destinations; - common channel signalling links; - signal transfer points (STP); - common channel signalling points; - common cha

25、nnel user/application part. The measurements are classified into different measurement types on the basis of a measurement matrix in which each row represents an entity and each column represents an object (see Figure 1). number of successful call attempts; number of call attempts for which a delay

27、 Z. Measurement type 3: object group B, entity group X. pd Impossible or meaningless Figure 1LE.502 - Measurement matrix A measurement type is a particular combination of entities and objects corresponding to certain entries in the measurement matrix. Part of these measurement types may be standardi

28、zed while the rest of them seem to be system- andor Administration-dependent. It should be noted that all the entries in the measurement matrix cannot be used because some of them will be impossible and some others may be meaningless. In all measurement types, the entities are fixed although some en

29、tities may not be measured for some applications. Selected objects form an object list. In some measurement types, the object list is fixed. In other types one can choose for the actual measurement some or all of the allowed objects. A measurement set is a collection of measurement types. 5.2 Traffi

30、c measurement structure A traffic measurement consists of: - measurement set information; - time information; - Measurement set information, time information and output routing and scheduling information may be predefined as well as object lists. It should be noted that predefinition characteristic

31、are system- dependent. Time data routing and the schedule may be fxed. output routing and scheduling information (output parameters). 5.2.1 Measurement set information Measurement set information consists of one or several selected measurement types with defined object (object lists) and measurement

32、-type-dependent parameters (e.g. sampling interval, number of events in a certain category, destination codes, etc.). 4 IT-T Rec. E.502 (02/2001) 5.2.2 Time information Measurements may have an undetermined duration (stop date is not pre-specified), or a predetermined duration, or be taken all the t

33、ime. In addition, measurements may be performed continuously or on a non-continuous basis. For measurements of undetermined duration and performed non-continuously, the recording days must be determined on a periodic basis (periodicity pattern within a calendar week). For measurements of predetermin

34、ed duration, the recording days may be determined on a periodic basis or by defning the dates of the recording days (see Figure 2).

Recording day level: Contains information about the start and stop time for recording periods within a recording day. Recording period level: Contains informa

37、tion about the periodicity of the data collection, controlled by the result accumulation period. The result accumulation period can be shorter than the recording period; in that case, more than one set of data is collected for each of the recording periods, to be routed toward the output media accor

39、uced measurement results should be routed for the recording; the output routing may be toward either a physical medium (e.g. printer) or a logical medium (e.g. file). Output scheduling information defines when (days and time) the output of the results is to be made. The output of results may be rela

40、ted to the end of the result accumulation period. Output routing and scheduling information 6 Traffic flows Each type of traffic flow occurring idthrough the exchange can be distinguished by association with an inleti or outlet2 of the exchange, or both. The different types of traffic flow for a gen

41、eralized exchange, viz. one that combines both local and transit functions and that provides operator (telephonist) service, are illustrated as shown in Figure 4. 1 Inlet is the point on or within the boundary of the exchange system where a call attempt arrives or arises. 2 Outlet is the point on or

42、 within the boundary of the exchange system to which a call attempt bearing adequate and valid dialling information would tend to be routed. 6 ITU-T Rec.

The types of calls, viz. system-originating call and system-terminating calls, result from the operation of some of the supplementary services that exchanges offer in addition to conventional telephone service.

Such overall measurements have been taken into account in this Recommendation only for the traffic items fiom A to P in Figure 4, while they have not been considered for items Q, R, Sand T since, with the assumptions made above, it is possible to achieve the relevant information by taki
