Additional guidance for echocontrol can be found in: Recommendation G.116 for terminals, Recommendation G.173 for connectingdigital public land mobile network

37、ircuits should have characteristics enabling them to conform toRecommendation G.131.3.4 International centres Plesiochronous Digital Hierarchy (PDH)/Synchronous DigitalHierarchy (SDH) should satisfy Recommendations Q.551, Q.552, Q.553 and Q.554.National automatic analogue 4-wire centres should obser
38、ve the noise limits specified inRecommendation Q.31.4National digital switching centres should satisfy Recommendations Q.551, Q.552, Q.553 and Q.554.International and national switching centres (Asynchronous Transfer Mode) should, in general, meetthe Q.500-series Recommendations.54 National transmis
39、sion planEvery Administration is free to choose whatever method it considers appropriate for specifyingtransmission performance and to adopt the appropriate limits to ensure satisfactory quality fornational calls. Nevertheless, the recommendations relating to Loudness Ratings (LRs),Recommendation G.
40、121, should be satisfied for international calls.NOTE To meet this twofold condition with respect to national and international calls, each Administrationhas to draw up a national transmission plan, i.e. it must specify limits for each part of the national network.The manual cited in 1 contains desc
41、riptions of the transmission plans adopted by various countriesand also some indications concerning the methods that can be used to establish such a plan.In particular, Annexes A and B to Recommendation G.111 contain useful information forAdministrations who wish to apply the LR method to their nati
42、onal connections.5 Attenuation distortionThe circuit performance objectives for attenuation distortion of international circuits and nationalextension circuits were originally selected so that acceptable performance would be obtained onanalogue 4-wire chains of up to 12 circuits. Although it is reco
43、gnized that the network is continuingits evolution to an all digital network, it is recommended that the individual equipment networkperformance objectives as presented in the following Recommendations not be relaxed: G.232(which gives equipment design objectives for analogue 12-channel terminal equ
44、ipments); G.712(which gives equipment design objectives for digital PCM channelizing equipments); and Q.552 andQ.553 (which give equipment design objectives for digital switches).It follows from the Recommendations mentioned above that, as a rule, the frequency band effectivelytransmitted by a telep
45、hone circuit, according to the definition adopted by the ITU-T (i.e. the band inwhich the attenuation distortion does not exceed 9 dB compared with the value for 1020 Hz), will bea little wider than the 300-3400 Hz band, and for a single pair of channel terminal equipments of thistype, the attenuati
46、on distortion at 300 Hz and 3400 Hz should never exceed 3 dB and in a largenumber of equipments should not average more than 1.7 dB. It is recommended that all channelterminal equipments, including digital switches with analogue interfaces, be designed such that theycan comply with the line-up limit
47、s specified in Figure 1. Analogue terminal equipments with_4In accordance with Recommendation Q.31, the limits are the same as those which were specified inRecommendation Q.45 of the Red Book (1984).5For example, the group delay requirement cannot be met if cell assembly of DS-0 rates is performed.R
