7、trol devices and functions Summary Echo is a common problem in long distance (propagation delay) telephony, and echo control devices are deployed to eliminate the effects of it. The call/bearer control entities involved in a telephony connection must use consistent logical procedures to analyse the

8、available information related to echo control requirements in order to optimize the locations at which echo control devices are provided in the connection. This Recommendation defines the information and logical procedures employed within call/bearer control entities to optimise echo control device

9、placement. The information elements and logic defined in this Recommendation are applicable to basic telephony calls, and to calls using supplementary services and Intelligent Networking features, in both narrow-band and broadband networks using circuit switched or packet bearer technology, and shou

10、ld be applied regardless of the particular signalling systems that convey information between the call/bearer control entities involved in a connection. This Recommendation is a revision of the ITU-T Rec. Q.115 (12/1999) and incorporates the contents of Implementors Guide (12/2000) for ITU-T Rec. Q.

Q.115 (1999) by ITU-T Study Group 11 (2001-2004) and approved under the WTSA Resolution 1 procedure on 29 December 2002. ii ITU-T Rec. Q.115.1 (12/2002) FOREWORD The International Telecommunication Union (ITU) is

12、the United Nations specialized agency in the field of telecommunications. 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 standardizing

13、 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 is covered by

14、 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 indicate bo

Q.115.1 (12/2002) 1 ITU-T Recommendation Q.115.1 Logic for the control of echo control devices and functions 1 Scope The propagation delay in transport networks affects both computer c

22、ommunication protocols and audiovisual communication between humans. The most noted effect is the echo problem for telephony which depends heavily on the propagation delay of the connection. In order to achieve transmission objectives on long connections (refer to 3.10), it is necessary to take into

23、 account the effects of echo. A general discussion of echo considerations is given in ITU-T Rec. G.131 6. The characteristics of terminal half-echo control devices are given in ITU-T Rec. G.164 1. The characteristics of echo cancellers are given in ITU-T Recs G.165 2 and G.168 14. In order to achiev

24、e optimum echo control for each call, it is necessary to control both echo suppressors and echo cancellers (realized as a standalone device or as a function of a signal processing network element). This can be carried out at call/bearer control entities only if sufficient information is available to

25、 coordinate an overall control action. Logical means to obtain pertinent information and the switching considerations governing its practicable use are detailed below. Control, based on the transfer of signals between call bearer control entities, is given particular attention. Self-contained contro

26、l action, such as tone disablement of echo suppressors and echo cancellers for data transmission, is not within the scope of this Recommendation. The target to be reached by the use of echo control logic is: to optimize the location of provision/insertion of Echo Control Devices/Functions (ECD). The

27、 echo control logic should select an ECD as near to the echo source (hybrid or terminal equipment) as possible. The ECD should be close enough to the source of echo so that its echo control tail length is sufficient to cancel any echo that may be present; to provide information about the insertion/p

28、rovision of ECD in the connection in the forward and in the backward direction. The delay time counter procedures require the addition of transmission delay values, beginning at the origin of a call and ending at the destination of it. These values could only be representative if the whole, or at le

29、ast most of, the delay of the connection is considered. If the configuration of a call is changed after the call set-up (e.g., a new leg is added to a conference call), the call/bearer control entity having knowledge about this change is responsible to initiate the echo control logic procedures for

30、this new configuration. Echo control logic is independent of the signalling systems/protocols involved, but the optimal placement may depend on the capability of the signalling systems used for the call set up. Echo control logic described in this Recommendation is backward compatible with the logic

31、 described in ITU-T Rec. Q.115 (12/99). For new versions of signalling systems/protocols, it is necessary to define parameters and messages to transmit the echo control information and requests as specified in Annex A. It is outside the scope of this Recommendation to determine when signalling messa

32、ges are initiated. Echo control logic, i.e., the set of echo control logic procedures, covers the needs of echo control not only in the PSTN but also in the N-ISDN, B-ISDN, PLMN, IN and hybrid networks. The term hybrid networks in this context stands for any combination of PSTN, ISDN, Mobile- and Pa

33、cket-Network. 2 ITU-T Rec. Q.115.1 (12/2002) NOTE Echo control devices (realized as standalone device or as a function of a signal processing device) controlled by the logic described in this Recommendation are designed to eliminate echo of a voice/audio signal. These Echo Control Devices/Functions

34、are provided by the network. The technique used in these Echo Control Devices/Functions to eliminate the echo is beyond the scope of this Recommendation. 2 References The following ITU-T Recommendations and other references contain provisions which, through reference in this text, constitute provisi

41、he standard terminal half-echo suppressor specified in ITU-T Rec. G.164 1 and the echo cancellers specified in ITU-T Recs G.165 2 and G.168 14. The terms “echo suppressor“ and “echo canceller“ will be used to denote these devices. The term “ECD“ will comprise both echo suppressors and echo canceller

42、s. 3.2 Two means of introducing ECDs are considered as acceptable. These are the use of permanently associated echo control devices, and the use of echo control devices inserted from a common pool. ITU-T Rec. Q.115.1 (12/2002) 3 3.3 With respect to control of permanently associated ECDs, control act

43、ions are said to enable or disable. 3.4 With respect to echo control devices provided from pools, control actions are concerned with inserting or not inserting. An inserted ECD is controlled in order to enable or disable it. 3.5 With respect to ECD provided in B-ISDN exchanges, the term “ECD“ denote

44、s echo cancellers only, as echo suppressors should not be used. 3.6 Information to assist in the placement of echo control devices is communicated between exchanges by ITU-compliant signalling. 3.7 Full ECD describes the situation where both an outgoing echo control device and an incoming echo contr

45、ol device (see 3.11) are enabled at a single exchange. 3.8 long circuit: is considered as one which, if used by itself, would require echo control. 3.9 short circuit: is considered as one which, if used by itself, would not require echo control. 3.10 long connection: is a connection that requires ec

46、ho control. A long connection may consist of several circuits in tandem. These circuits may or may not be long circuits, but their total propagation delay is such that echo control is required. If not detected at call set-up time, the total propagation delay is calculated during call set-up based on

47、 information carried in signalling (see 8.2). 3.11 incoming echo control device (IECD): is a device cancelling the echo returned from the destination network with reference to the direction in which the call is set up. 3.12 outgoing echo control device (OECD): is a device cancelling the echo returne

48、d from the network of origin with reference to the direction in which the call is set up. 3.13 Two types of exchanges are defined: 3.13.1 exchange Type 1: invokes echo control logic procedures for all calls of the bearer capability “speech or 3.1 kHz audio“. These procedures are described in this Re

49、commendation. Any exchange in a network can be of Type 1. 3.13.2 exchange Type 2: cannot invoke echo logic control procedures. The received echo control information is passed unchanged (in both directions). In case of interworking, the echo control information is mapped from one signalling system/protocol to the other. 3.14 echo control initiating exchange: is the first exchange that recognizes the need to apply echo control procedures. 3.15 propagation delay initiating exchange: is the exchange that initiates t
