8、2 (06/2008) i Recommendation ITU-T G.776.2 SPNE mechanisms/auxiliary functions Summary Signal processing functions (SPFs) designed for speech quality, when located in the network, may interact with in-band signalling (e.g., tandem free operation) and non-voice services (e.g., high speed circuit swit

9、ched data). The platform that carries these SPFs is called signal processing network equipment (SPNE) and may therefore need to provide mechanisms/auxiliary functions to support in-band signalling and non-voice services depending on where in the network the SPNE is going to be deployed and what serv

10、ices and/or in-band signalling are present. This Recommendation defines these mechanisms/auxiliary functions of a signal processing network equipment (SPNE) designed for the use in the circuit switched part of a network (mobile, fixed and hybrid). Source Recommendation ITU-T G.776.2 was approved on

11、13 June 2008 by ITU-T Study Group 16 (2005-2008) under Recommendation ITU-T A.8 procedure. Keywords Codec, echo cancellation, HSCSD, SPF, SPNE, TFO, VAD/CNG, VED, V.21. ii Rec. ITU-T G.776.2 (06/2008) FOREWORD The International Telecommunication Union (ITU) is the United Nations specialized agency i

12、n the field of telecommunications, information and communication technologies (ICTs). The ITU Telecommunication Standardization Sector (ITU-T) is a permanent organ of ITU. ITU-T is responsible for studying technical, operating and tariff questions and issuing Recommendations on them with a view to s

13、tandardizing telecommunications on a worldwide basis. The World Telecommunication Standardization Assembly (WTSA), which meets every four years, establishes the topics for study by the ITU-T study groups which, in turn, produce Recommendations on these topics. The approval of ITU-T Recommendations i

14、s covered by the procedure laid down in WTSA Resolution 1. In some areas of information technology which fall within ITU-Ts purview, the necessary standards are prepared on a collaborative basis with ISO and IEC. NOTE In this Recommendation, the expression “Administration“ is used for conciseness to

15、 indicate both a telecommunication administration and a recognized operating agency. Compliance with this Recommendation is voluntary. However, the Recommendation may contain certain mandatory provisions (to ensure e.g., interoperability or applicability) and compliance with the Recommendation is ac

16、hieved when all of these mandatory provisions are met. The words “shall“ or some other obligatory language such as “must“ and the negative equivalents are used to express requirements. The use of such words does not suggest that compliance with the Recommendation is required of any party. INTELLECTU

ITU takes no position concerning the evidence, validity or applicability of claimed Intellectual Property Rights, whether

18、 asserted by ITU members or others outside of the Recommendation development process. As of the date of approval of this Recommendation, ITU had not received notice of intellectual property, protected by patents, which may be required to implement this Recommendation.

22、ignal processing functions designed for speech quality are normally provided on a platform called signal processing network equipment. Since these signal processing functions may either not be required on all calls or not be applied to digital media, additional mechanisms/auxiliary functions are req

23、uired which are not necessarily part of the specific signal processing functions as such. Therefore, these auxiliary functions/mechanisms are considered to be provided by a signal processing network equipment. Rec.

24、tions 1 Scope This Recommendation defines mechanisms/auxiliary functions for a signal processing network equipment (SPNE) designed for the use in the circuit switched part of a network (mobile, fixed and hybrid). The SPNE addressed in this Recommendation is a physical entity that contains one or mor

25、e of the following signal processing functions (SPFs) optimized for speech quality, acoustic echo control, electric echo cancellation, noise reduction and automatic level control. The SPNE can be designed as stand-alone equipment or can be integrated in some other network equipment. The SPNE provide

26、s the SPFs permanent associated to the circuits or arranged in a pool. Depending on where in the network the SPNE is going to be provided, the mechanisms/auxiliary functions identified in this Recommendation include appropriate interfaces to allow external control of the SPFs and the support of in-b

27、and signalling such as tandem free operation (TFO) and of services such as high speed circuit switched data (HSCSD). 2 References The following ITU-T Recommendations and other references contain provisions which, through reference in this text, constitute provisions of this Recommendation.

39、e following clauses describe some exemplary network scenarios with SPNEs. 6.1 ISDN/PSTN A typical example in an ISDN/PSTN network would be a SPNE:ECD associated with an international switching centre (ISC). The SPNE:ECD provides echo control devices for a number of E1/T1 circuits. The SPNE:ECD can b

40、e deployed either as stand-alone equipment or integrated in an exchange/switch; see Figure 1. Figure 1 SPNE:ECD associated with an ISC 6.2 Mobile network In the mobile network, the so called SPNE:VED provides acoustic echo control and noise reduction to reduce the speech quality degradation due to a

41、coustic echo and noise injected into the network by the mobile station (MS). Some possible locations of the SPNE:VED (either as stand-alone equipment or as integrated version) in a mobile network are shown in Figure 2. LE TE ISC Possible locations for SPNE:ECD E1/T1 4 Rec.

ITU-T G.776.2 (06/2008) 5 7 Types and functional entities of the SPNE SPNE as described in this Recommendation is a physical equipment that can be located

44、 in several places in a circuit switched network. The SPFs contained in the SPNE process the voice/voiceband signals carried on the bearer to improve their quality. In addition to these SPFs, the SPNE needs to have mechanisms/auxiliary functional entities, depending on where in the network the SPNE

45、is going to be deployed and what services the network supports. 7.1 Types A and B SPNE types A and B can be designed as either stand-alone equipment or as an integrated device. 7.1.1 Type A: SPNE with a control plane interface for SPNE The SPFs of this type of SPNE are controlled (enabled/disabled)

46、on a per-call basis. A specific control plane interface is required, whereby the control plane is either embedded in the bearer carrying the media or has its own bearer. For a stand-alone SPNE, the protocols used at the control plane interface are described in ITU-T Q.115.0, whereas for an integrate

47、d SPNE this is an implementation matter. 7.1.2 Type B: SPNE without a control plane interface for SPNE This type of SPNE can adopt the IS_Passive behaviour of an in-path equipment (IPE) for its SPFs, if required. An IS_Passive IPE shall never actively initiate the exchange of IS messages. The active

48、 initiation is only done by terminals or their “representatives“. They need not and do not understand the IS protocol, but let it pass unaltered. This type of SPNE requires detection mechanisms for in-band signalling, any kind of non-voice information and a protocol entity to communicate with other

49、SPNEs in order to optimize the provisioning of the SPFs. This applies for the stand-alone version as well as for the integrated version. The following auxiliary functional entities are identified: A control plane interface that allows the SPFs to be controlled by the corresponding call control/bearer control entity (network logic/resource control) on a per-call basis. A TFO functional entity that allows the disabling/bypass of the SPFs. An HSCSD functional entity that a
