7、(03/2009) i Recommendation ITU-T I.733 Voice on ATM circuit multiplication equipment Summary The purpose of a voice on ATM circuit multiplication equipment (VACME) is to provide a bandwidth efficient means of connecting TDM-based international switching centres (ISCs) and an ATM network. In addition
8、 to providing traditional CME functions, the equipment will have additional capabilities such as ATM multiplexing to optimize bandwidth utilization. VACME is a general switched telephone network (GSTN) trunking equipment using pulse code modulation (PCM) and low rate encoding technique together with
9、 digital speech interpolation (DSI) and facsimile demodulation/remodulation. Recommendation ITU-T I.733 addresses key issues, such as interfaces, signal processing functions, ATM adaptation layer mappings, and OAM functions, to be used in VACME in order to ensure the interworking of this equipment.
10、Source Recommendation ITU-T I.733 was approved on 16 March 2009 by ITU-T Study Group 16 (2009-2012) under Recommendation ITU-T A.8 procedures.

12、ng Recommendations on them with a view to standardizing 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 topi
13、cs. The approval of ITU-T Recommendations is covered by 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
14、“Administration“ is used for conciseness to indicate both a telecommunication administration and a recognized operating agency. Compliance with this Recommendation is voluntary. However, the Recommendation may contain certain mandatory provisions (to ensure e.g., interoperability or applicability) a

35、: 3.1 circuit multiplication equipment (CME): A generic type of the equipment, including all these types of equipment such as DCME, PCME, IP-CME, VACME and channel transcoder, having a number of 64 kbit/s PCM encoded input trunks, compressing speech signals on channel basis in various ways and sendi
36、ng them out through various types of bearers including STM type, packetized type, ATM type and IP type. 3.2 circuit multiplication system (CMS): A telecommunications network comprised of two or more interoperating CME terminals where each CME terminal contains a transmit unit and a receive unit. 3.3
37、 comfort noise: Artificially generated noise signal at the receive side to compensate for the silent part of conversation that was removed by the send side and that gives a comfortable feeling to the receiver when silence elimination is introduced. It is desirable for a comfort noise to have the cha
38、racteristics similar to those of the original background noise signal that was suppressed (e.g., in terms of its level and spectrum). 3.4 digital circuit multiplication equipment (DCME): A general class of equipment which permits concentration of a number of 64 kbit/s PCM encoded trunk circuits on a
39、 reduced number of transmission circuits. 3.5 digital speech interpolation (DSI): A process which, when used in the transmit unit of a VACME, causes digital voice signals of a trunk channel to be mapped into ATM cells transferred through an ATM network only when activity is actually present on the t
40、runk channel. This, by exploiting the probability of the speech activity factor of trunk channels being less than 1.0, enables the traffic from a number of trunk channels to be concentrated and carried by a lesser number of ATM cells compared with the number of cells necessary for continuous connect
41、ions. NOTE A similar concept is defined in ITU-T G.763, ITU-T G.767, and b-ITU-T G.768, however, in specific terms as applicable to these Recommendations. 3.6 facsimile demodulation/remodulation: A processing introduced in a VACME where facsimile traffic is discriminated from voiceband data; subsequ
42、ently demodulated to recover the baseband digital signal; mapped into ATM cells; demultiplexed in the VACME receive unit; and Rec. ITU-T I.733 (03/2009) 3 remodulated using the same modulation scheme as used on the original signal received by the VACME transmit unit. NOTE A similar concept is define
43、d in ITU-T G.763, ITU-T G.767, and b-ITU-T G.768, however, in specific terms as applicable to these Recommendations. 3.7 low rate encoding (LRE): A voiceband signal encoding method which results in a bit rate less than 64 kbit/s. Conversion between voiceband signals encoded in PCM at 64 kbit/s and t
44、hose encoded at the lower rates will be carried out by the means specified in the referred ITU-T Recommendations. NOTE In ITU-T G.763, ITU-T G.767, and b-ITU-T G.768, LRE is defined in slightly different terms, as specifically needed in these Recommendations. 3.8 silence elimination: A process that
45、suppresses the transmission of the inactive part of the silent part of conversation to attain efficient transmission of a voice conversation. When silence elimination is introduced, it is necessary to insert comfort noise at the receive side, to compensate for the suppressed silence periods present
46、during listening and pause time intervals. This process is also sometimes called silence suppression. NOTE A similar concept is used in ITU-T G.763, ITU-T G.767, and b-ITU-T G.768, however, in specific terms as applicable to these Recommendations. 3.9 trunk channel (TC): A unidirectional, digital tr
47、ansmission path (generally short distance) used for carrying traffic and which connects a VACME to other equipment, e.g., an ISC. Two such trunk channels (transmit and receive) are needed by 4-wire telephone circuits and constitute a trunk circuit. NOTE 1 Signals carried by a trunk channel are trans
48、mitted at a bit rate of 64 kbit/s. NOTE 2 A number of trunk channels in each direction of transmission are required between a VACME CME and, for instance, an ISC. These trunk channels may be carried by a number of 2048 or 1544 kbit/s systems for example. 3.10 voice on ATM circuit multiplication equi
49、pment (VACME): A class of equipment which allows for the concentration of a number of 64 kbit/s PCM encoded input trunk circuits onto a reduced amount of bandwidth in the ATM domain. ATM cross-connection and multiplexing functions allow for a more efficient use of bandwidth. 4 Abbreviations and acronyms This Recommendation uses the following abbreviations: AAL ATM Adaptation Layer ADPCM Adaptive Differential Pulse Code Modulation AIS Alarm Indication Signal AMI Altern
