When opposite directions of transmi

5、ssion are provided by different media (e.g. a satellite channel in one direction and a terrestrial channel in the other) the two times contributing to the mean may differ considerably. 1 Limits for a connection It is necessary in an international telephone connection to limit the propagation time be

6、tween two subscribers. As the propagation time is increased, subscriber difficulties increase, and the rate of increase of difficulty rises, see b) below. Relevant evidence is given in the bibliography of Recommendation G.114 i. As a network performance objective, CCIT therefore recommends the follo

7、wing limitations on mean one-way propagation times when echo sources exist and appropriate echo control devices, such as echo suppressors and echo cancellers, are used: a) O to 150 ms, acceptable. Note - Echo suppressors specified in Reference 2 may be used for delays not exceeding 50 ms (see Refere

8、nce 3). 150 to 400 ms, acceptable, provided that increasing care is exercised on connections as the mean one-way propagation time exceeds about 300 ms, and provided that echo control devices, such as echo suppressors and echo cancellers, designed for long delay circuits are used. Above 400 ms, unacc

9、eptable. Connectins with these delays should not be used except under the most exceptional circumstances. b) c) . I) This Recommendation is an extract of Recommendation G.114 i.

10、 4.41 199 =CCITT FASCICLE VI-L * 4862593 0506233 4 -, 2 Values for circuits In the establishment of the general interconnection plan within the limits in 0 1 the one-way propagation time of both the national extension circuits and the international circuits must be taken into account. The propagatio

11、n time of circuits and connections is the aggregate of several components; e.g. group delay in cables and in filters encountered in FDM modems of different types. Digital transmission and switching also contribute delays. The conventional planning values given in Q 2.1 may be used to estimate the to

12、tal propagation time of specified assemblies which may form circuits or connections. 2.1 Conventional planning values of propagation time Provisionally, the conventional planning values of propagation time in Table VQ.41 may be used. 2.2 National extension circuits The main arteries of the national

13、network should consist of high-velocity propagation lines. In these conditions, the propagation time between the international centre and the subscriber farthest away from it in the national network will probably not exceed: a) In purely analogue networks 12 + (0.004 x distance in kilometres) ms. He

14、re the factor 0.004 is based on the assumption that national trunk circuits will he routed over high-velocity plant (250 km/ms). The 12 ms constant term makes allowance for terminal equipment and for the probable presence in the national network of a certain quantity of loaded cables (e.g. three pai

15、rs of channel translating equipments plus about 160 km of H 88/36 loaded cables). For an average-sized country (see Figure 2/G.103) the one-way propagation time will be less than 18 ms. In mixed analogue/digital networks the propagation time can generally be estimated by the equation given for purel

16、y analogue networks. However, under certain unfavourable conditions increased delay may occur compared with the purely analogue case. This occurs in particular when digital exchanges are connected with analogue transmission systems through PCM/FDM equipments in tandem, or transmultiplexers. With the

17、 growing degree of digitisation the propagation time will gradually approach the condition of purely digital networks. In purely digital networks between exchanges (e.g. an IDN) the propagation time as defined above will probably not exceed: b) c) 3 + (0.004 x distance in kilometres) ms. The 3 ms co

18、nstant term makes allowance for one PCM coder or decoder and five digitally switched exchanges. Note - The value 0.004 is a mean-value for coaxial cable systems and radio-relay systems; for optical fibre systems 0.005 is to be used. In purely digital networks between subscribers (e.g. an ISDN) the d

19、elay of c) above has to be increased by up to 3.6 ms if burst-mode (time compression multiplexing) transmission .is used on 2-W local subscriber lines. d) 2.3 International circuits International circuits2) will use high-velocity transmission systems, e.g. terrestrial cable or radio-relay systems, s

20、ubmarine systems or satellite systems. The planning values of 0 2.1 may be used. The magnitude of the mean one-way propagation time for circuits on high altitude communication satellite systems makes it desirable to impose some routing restrictions on their use. Details of these restrictions are giv

(For details see Recommendation Q.551). e) Echo cancellers, when placed in service, will add a one-way propagation time of up to 1 ms in the send path of each echo canceller. This delay excludes th
