CCITT is responsible for studying tech

The Plenary Assembly of CCITT which meets every four years, establishes the topics for study and approves Recommendations prepared by its Study Groups. The

4、approval of Recommendations by the members of CCITT between Plenary Assemblies is covered by the procedure laid down in CCITT Resolution No. 2 (Melbourne, 1988). Recommendation E.850 was revised by Study Group II and was approved under the Resolution No. 2 procedure on the 30th of October 1992. CCII

14、hone connection retainability performance The measure to be used shall be the complement of connection retainability, namely the probability of a prematurely released telephone connection when normalized to a call holding time of one minute (Pr). The estimator of the premature release probability is

15、 the premature release call ratio (Pre) which is defined as: where N is the number of telephone calls successfully established in some period of time, Tis the mean call holding tirne in minutes and RN is the number of telephone calls successfully completed out of such N calls (see Annex A ,and Annex

16、 B). 3 Overall objective for premature release probability The provisional objective for the normalized premature release probability (PJ shall be such that the performance is better than the values given below: for typical international connections: 2 x 10-4 Pr I4 x 10-4 for 90th percentile interna

Note 2 - The typical 90th percentile and worst case connections mentioned above shall be assumed to be thos

18、e hypothetical reference connections (HRXs) given in Recommendation E.830. Note 3 - See Annex B. 4 Allocation of the overall objective It is desirable, for planning purposes, to allocate the overall objective for a typical connection to the national systems and the international chain of the HRX. Th

19、e overall objective is given by: where Prill and Pril, are the premature release probabilities for originating and terminating national systems respectively and Pri is the premature release probability of the international chain. The allocation of the overall objective to national systems and intern

20、ational chain shall be as follows: 2 Recommendation E.850 (10/92) then Nore I - 01 is provisiondly recommended as being equal to 2. Thus, for example, if: Pr = 3 x 10-4 P, = 0.6 x 10-4 Note 2 - Further allocation of the overall objective to the circuits and exchanges used in a connection might also

21、be desirable. Note 3 - Objectives for the permissible probability of premature release of an established telephone connection in Integrated Digital Networks (IDNs) and mixed (analogue/digital) networks, due to transit digital or local and combined locdtraisit exchange malfunctions, are specified in

ANNEX A (to Recommendation E.850) Relationship between the premature release probability and its estimator The following relationship exists between the premature release probability normalized to a 1-minute holding time (Pr) ,and its estimator P,: = Pry if such l

26、estimate the premature release probability for an international telephone connection In this annex, a method is described which can be used to estimate the premature release probability for an international telephone connection. The method is based on placing end-to-end test calls, whose mean holdin

27、g time is T in minutes, and observing those which are prematurely released due either to transmission or switching failures, or transmission interruptions lasting longer than ten seconds. From the results of Annex A, it follows that the simple estimator of Pr is: If it can be reasonably assumed that

28、 the occurrence or non-occurrence of a premature release for each of the test calls constitutes independent events, then the binomial sampling theory can be used to derive confidence intervals for Pr, and to determine minimum sample sizes (N). In particular, it would be required that N be chosen suc

Writing P = Pr x T, it follows from the central limit theorem that, for large N, / NP(l - P)E 2 Zu 100 where Zu is the root of the equation: za (2/n)Esexp (- 1/2 y2) dy

Similar calculations based on varying assumptions are reproduced in Figure B- lB.850. Based on these results, it is proposed that for an average holding time of T = 1 min, N =
