August 22, 2013

Note: TFO: Tandem Free Operation Tandem Free Operation is the configuration of a connection with two transcoders that support the TFO protocol and whose external coding schemes are compatible, thus enabling compressed speech to pass between them. When the calling MS and the called MS use the same voice coding scheme, the voice signals are encoded only once at the calling MS side and decoded only once at the called MS side. This avoids repeated encoding and decoding and improves the quality of voice services.  Provides the voice enhancement function  Detects voice faults automatically Outside Knowledge: 

LAPD (Link Access Procedure D-Channel)

LAPD is the protocol used on ISDN's (Integrated Services Digital Network) D channel. Call setup and other signaling takes place on the D channel. Data transmissions take place on B channels. LAPD is the ITU Q.921 protocol.

D channel (delta channel) is a telecommunications term which refers to the ISDN channel in which the control and signalling information is carried. The bit rate of the D channel of a basic rate interface is 16 kbit/s, whereas it amounts to 64 kbit/s on a primary rate interface. Integrated Services Digital Network (ISDN) is a set of communication standards for simultaneous digital transmission of voice, video, data, and other network services over the traditional circuits of the public switched telephone network. It was first defined in 1988 in the CCITT red book.[1] Prior to ISDN, the telephone system was viewed as a way to transport voice, with some special services available for data. The key feature of ISDN is that it integrates speech and data on the same lines, adding features that were not available in the classic telephone system. There are several kinds of access interfaces to ISDN defined as Basic Rate Interface (BRI), Primary Rate Interface (PRI), Narrowband ISDN (N-ISDN), and Broadband ISDN (B-ISDN). ISDN is a circuit-switched telephone network system, which also provides access to packet switched networks, designed to allow digital transmission of voice and data over ordinary telephone copper wires, resulting in potentially better voice quality than an analog phone can provide. It offers circuit-switched connections (for either voice or data), and packet-switched connections (for data), in increments of 64 kilobit/s. A major market application for ISDN in some countries is Internet access, where ISDN typically provides a maximum of 128 kbit/s in both upstream and downstream directions. Channel bonding can achieve a greater data rate; typically the ISDN B-channels of three or four BRIs (six to eight 64 kbit/s channels) are bonded. Phoeung Rim BSS Team Leader

ISDN should not be mistaken for its use with a specific protocol, such as Q.931 whereby ISDN is employed as the network, data-link and physical layers in the context of the OSI model. In a broad sense ISDN can be considered a suite of digital services existing on layers 1, 2, and 3 of the OSI model. ISDN is designed to provide access to voice and data services simultaneously. However, common use reduced ISDN to be limited to Q.931 and related protocols, which are a set of protocols for establishing and breaking circuit switched connections, and for advanced calling features for the user. They were introduced in 1986.[2] In a videoconference, ISDN provides simultaneous voice, video, and text transmission between individual desktop videoconferencing systems and group (room) videoconferencing systems.
