8、WORD ITU (International Telecommunication Union) is the United Nations Specialized Agency in the field of telecommunications. The ITU Telecommunication Standardization Sector (ITU-T) is a permanent organ of the ITU. The ITU-T is responsible for studying technical, operating and tariff questions and
9、issuing Recommendations on them with a view to standardizing telecommunications on a worldwide basis. The World Telecommunication Standardization Conference (WTSC), which meets every four years, establishes the topics for study by the IT-T Study Groups which, in their turn, produce Recommendations o
10、n these topics. The approval of Recommendations by the Members of the ITU-T is covered by the procedure laid down in WTSC Resolution No. 1. In some areas of information technology which fall within ITU-Ts purview, the necessary standards are prepared on a collaborative basis with IS0 and IEC. NOTE I

22、UAL TELEPHONE TERMINALS TO B-ISDN ENVIRONMENTS (revised in 1998) 1 Scope This Recommendation describes technical specifications for adapting narrow-band visual telephone terminals, as defined in Recommendation H.320, to broadband ISDN environments. The terminal conforming to this Recommendation inte
23、rworks with the same type of terminals (i.e. other H.321 terminals) accommodated in B-ISDN as well as existing H.320 terminals accommodated in N-ISDN. It is noted that some of the functionalities supported by H.321 terminals are also supported by broadband audiovisual terminals defined in Recommenda
24、tion H.3 1 O. The interworking among H.310, H.321 and H.320 terminals is a mandatory requirement. Intenvorking between H.320 and H.321 terminals is achieved since the different H.321 terminals are defined in terms of the corresponding H.320 terminal types. (See 4.4 for more details.) Intenvorking be
25、tween H.320M.321 and H.310 terminals is achieved through a common set of H.320H.321 functions (defined in Recommendation H.3 1 O). For example, in addition to supporting the Recommendation H.262 video (MPEG-2 video), H.310 terminals shall support Recornmendation H.261 which is part of both Recommend
26、ation H.320 and Recommendation H.321. In H.321 terminals, the adaptation of H.320 functions over B-ISDN is achieved through either ATM Adaptation Layer 1 (AAL-1) or ATM Adaptation Layer 5 (AAL-5). Both Segmentation and Reassembly (SAR) and Convergence Sublayer (CS) functions, as defined in Recommend
27、ations 1.363.1 and 1.363.5, are considered in this Recommendation. H.321 terminals have the same inband functionalities as those supported by H.320 terminals, i.e. as defined in Recommendations H.242, H.230 and H.22 1. Extra broadband-related signalling functions, such as negotiation for the use of
28、the Adaptive Clock Recovery method (asynchronous mode), can be accomplished through 4.293 1 Information Elements as in Annexes A and C. H.321 terminals on the public B-ISDN will conform to Annex A for the use of AAL-1. As an option, they may also operate according to Annex B for the use of AAL-5. H.
29、321 terminals on customer premises networks may operate according to either Annex A or Annex B or both. Intenvorking between AAL-1 and AAL-5 transports shall be accomplished by the use of an AAL- VAAL-5 Intenvorking Unit on the customer premises, as specified in 7.3. 2 References The following ITU-T
