2、rcuits according to Recommendations J.43 and J.44. Because these circuits are specified as unidirectional,the equipment for insertion/extraction has to be separated as shown in Figure 1b/G.738.1 General characteristics1.1 Fundamental characteristics for voice-channel encodingThe encoding law used is
3、 the A-law as specified in Recommendation G.711. The sampling rate, load capacityand the code are also specified in that Recommendation.The number of quantized values is 256.Note - The inversion of bits 2, 4, 6 and 8 is covered by the encoding law and is applicable only to voice-channeltime slots.1.
4、2 Bit rateThe nominal bit rate is 2048 kbit/s. The tolerance on this rate is 50 parts per million (ppm).1.3 Timing signalIt should be possible to derive the transmit timing signal from any of the following:a) from the received 2048 kbit/s signal;b) from an external source at 2048 kHz (see 5);c) from
5、 an internal oscillator.Note - The provision of a timing signal output, available for the purpose of synchronizing other equipments, isan option that might be required depending upon national synchronization arrangements.1.4 Types of accessa) access for bidirectional synchronous 64 kbit/s channels (
6、see Figure l a/G.738);b) access for unidirectional synchronous 320 kbit/s channels (see Figure 1b/G.738).Note - The synchronous insertion of a digital sound-programme signal into a 320 kbit/s channel requires theinternal regeneration of a timing signal T synchronized by the 2048 kbit/s signal I1. Th
7、e timing signal is used forsynchronizing the sampling frequency of the analogue/digital converters producing the digital sound programme signal.2 Fascicle III.4 - Rec.

Preferably the channel pairs A-B, C-Dand E-F should be used for stereophonic transmission.Note 2 - If the channel time slot 16 which is assi

15、lex equipment should detect the following conditions:4.1.1 Failure of power supply.4.1.2 Failure of codec (except when using single channel codecs).4 Fascicle III.4 - Rec. G.738As a minimum requirement, this fault condition should be recognized when for at least one signal level in therange -21 to -
16、6 dBm0, the signal-to-quantizing noise ratio performance of the local codec is 18 dB or more below thelevel recommended in Recommendation G.712.4.1.3 Loss of incoming signals at the 64 kbit/s and 320 kbit/s tributary input ports.Note 1 - This detection is not mandatory when contradirectional interfa
17、ces are used.Note 2 - The detection of this fault condition is not mandatory for channel time slot 16 when channel associatedsignalling is used and the signalling multiplex equipment is situated within a few metres of the PCM multiplexequipment.4.1.4 Loss of the incoming signal at 2048 kbit/s.Note 1
18、 - The detection of this fault condition is required only when it does not result in an indication of loss offrame alignment.Note 2 - Where separate circuits are used for the digital signal and the timing signal, the loss of either or bothshould constitute loss of the incoming signal.4.1.5 Loss of f
19、rame alignment.4.1.6 Excessive bit error ratio detected by monitoring the frame alignment signal.4.1.6.1 With a random bit error ratio of 10-4, the probability of activating the indication of fault condition within afew seconds should be less than 10-6.With a random bit error ratio of 10-3, the prob
20、ability of activating the indication of fault condition within afew seconds should be higher than 0.95.4.1.6.2 With a random bit error ratio of 10-3, the probability of deactivating the indication of fault condition within afew seconds should be almost 0.With a random bit error ratio of 10-4, the pr
21、obability of deactivating the indication of fault condition within afew seconds should be higher than 0.95.Note - The activating and deactivating period specified as “a few seconds“ is intended to be in the order of4 to 5 seconds.4.1.7 Alarm indication received from the remote PCM multiplex equipmen
22、t (see 4.2.3).4.2 Consequent actionsFurther to the detection of a fault condition, appropriate actions should be taken as specified in Table 2/G.738.The consequent actions are as follows:4.2.1 Service alarm indication generated to signify that the service provided by the PCM multiplex is no longerav
23、ailable. This indication should be forwarded at least to the switching and/or signalling multiplex equipment dependingupon the arrangements provided. The indication should be given as soon as possible and not later than 2 ms afterdetection of the relevant fault condition.This specification, taking i
24、nto account the specification given in 4.2.5, is equivalent to recommending that theaverage time to detect a loss of frame alignment or a loss of the incoming 2048 kbit/s signal and to give the relevantindication should not be greater than 3 ms.When using common channel signalling the indication sho
25、uld be forwarded to the switching equipment bymeans of separate interface on the PCM multiplex equipment.4.2.2 Prompt maintenance alarm indication generated to signify that performance is below acceptable standards andmaintenance attention is required locally. When the AIS at 2048 kbit/s input is de
26、tected (see General Notes below to 4.2), the prompt maintenance alarm indication associated with loss of frame alignment (see 4.1.5) and excessiveFascicle III.4 - Rec. G.738 5error ratio (see 4.1.6) should be inhibited, while the rest of the consequent actions are in accordance with thoseassociated
27、in Table 2/G.738 with the two fault conditions.Note - The location and provision of any visual and/or audible alarm activated by the alarm indications given in 4.2.1 and 4.2.2, is left to the discretion of each Administration.4.2.3 Alarm indication to the remote end, transmitted by changing bit 3 of
28、 channel time slot 0 from the state 0 to thestate 1 in those frames not containing the frame alignment signal.

35、he equivalent binary content of the alarm indication signal (AIS) is a continuous stream of binary 1s.The strategy for detecting the presence of AIS should be such that with a high probability the AIS is detectable even inthe presence of random errors having a mean error rate of 1 in 103. Neverthele

38、t/s should be of either the codirectional or the contradirectional type specified inRecommendation G.703. The specification for 64 kbit/s interfaces are not mandatory for channel-associated signalling.The interface for external synchronization of the transmitting timing signal should be in accordanc
39、e withRecommendation G.703.The need to define a digital interface operating at 320 kbit/s is under study.Note 1 - It should be noted that, according to the principle of minimizing the number of different types ofinterfaces, the information rate of 320 kbit/s will be offered to customers at the user/
40、network interface level using the2048 kbit/s interface as defined in Recommendation I.431 and Recommendation G.703.Note 2 - In the case of the 64 kbit/s codirectional interface, the design of the input ports should take into accountthe need to provide octet alignment, to allow controlled slips when
