Fundamentals of Switching & Overview of AXE-10 System

INTRODUCTION
E-10-B gave tremendous boost to telecom N/w .E-10-b have excellent grade of service Yet it is failed in a no. of occasions in metro cities created a no. of problem. The main reasons are 1. Lower BHCA--1,90,000 2.No support of ISDN & CCS#7 Max capacity of a TAX< 10K.

SALIENT DESIGN FEATURES OF AXE-10

-SPC -PCM-TIME DIVISION SWITCHING(DIGITAL SWITCHING)-DUPLICATED CENTRAL PROCESSOR (CPs) HOT S/B MODE -REGIONAL PROCESSORS(RPs)OFF LOADS THE CP BY PERFORMING TASKS OF SIMPLE REPETITIVE NATURE. -FUNCTIONAL MODULARITY--ADVANTAGES - SMOOTHER, QUICKER HARDWARE EXTENTION -SYSTEM UPGRADATION IS EASIER. -NEW FUNCTIONS EASILY INCORPORATED -ONE SYSTEM FOR ALL APPLICATIONS

FUNCTIONAL HIERARCHY
AXE-10 CONSIST OF 2 MAIN PARTS: 1. 2. APT : TELEPHONY PART , FOR SWITCHING CALLS APZ : CONTROL PART ,FOR CONTROL & PROCESSING OF DATA. BOTH APT & APZ USE HARDWARE AND SOFTWARE. APT IS DEVIDED INTO SUBSYSTEMS NAMELY SSS, TSS, GSS,OMS, CCS,TCS, SUS etc. EACH SUBSYSTEM PERFORM WELL DEFINED FUNCTION AND HAS No.OF FUNCTION BLOCKS. EACH FUNCTION BLOCK HAVE FUNCTIONAL UNITS. SOME OF THE SUBSYSTEMS ARE REALISED IN S/W AND OTHERS IN H/W & IN S/W. APZ IMPLEMENTED IN HARDWARE AND SOFTWARE AND DEVIDED INTO SUBSYSTEMS NAMELY CPS, MAS( MAINTENANCE SUBSYSTEM) FMS, SPS, DCS, etc. S/W (PROGRAMS & DATA) OF APT IS STORED IN APZ HARDWARE ( PROGRAME STORE AND DATA STORE)

SUBSCRIBER SWITCHING SUBSYSTEM ( SSS )

SSS CONSISTS OF TWO TYPES OF SWITCHES :

SSS

1.

LOCAL SUBSCRIBER SWITCHES () ALSO COMMONLY KNOWN AS LOCAL EMG; EXTENTION MODULE GROUP ):LSS

2.REMOTE SUBSCRIBER SWITCH (REMOTE EMG ):RSS ALL THE REMOTE SUBSCRIBER SWITCHWS AT A LOCATION ARE TOGETHER CALLED RSU, REMOTE SWITCHING UNIT. AN LSS OR AN RSS MAY CONSIST OF THE FOLLOWING MAGAZINES: LSM A LSM BA LSM PRA SEPRM : : : : LSM, ANALOG LSM ISDN, BASIC ACCESS (2B + D ) LSM ISDN , PRIMARY RATE ( 30B + D ) SEPCIAL EQUIPMENTS FOR PRIVATE METERS ( OPTIONAL ) = 8 PRIVATE METERS CARD, ONE CARD =8 METERS. A SULTAACCS MAG. = FOR 4 LSSs . FOR SUBS.LINE TESTING AND FEEDING HOWLER TONE. A PAIR OF RPBC MAG. EVERY LSS INTERFACE IN LSS & CP. IOSULTIN RSS -FOR TESTING OF SUBS. LINE, GENERATION OF HOWLER TONE,

ONE FULLY EQUIPPED EMG OCCUPIES 3 CABINET SPACE. ONE FULLY EQUIPPED EMG CAN ACCOMMODATE UPTO 2048 ANALOG SUBS. EACH EMG CAN HAVE MINIMUM 2 PCM LINES AND MAXIMUM 32 PCM LINES TOWARDS SWITCHING NETWORK CALLED GROUP SWITCH. WE CAN PROVIDE THE REQUIRED NO. OF PCM LINES DEPENDING UPON TRAFFIC REQUIREMENTS SO AS TO FULLY UTILISE 2048 EQUIPMENTS, IF PROVIDED.
CONCENTRATION RATIO ACHIEVED : WITH 8 PCMs 16 PCMs 32 PCMs : : : 2048 : 240 i.e. 8:1 2048 : 480 i.e.4:1 2048 : 960 i. e. 2:1

T/S No.16 ON THE FIRST TWO PCMs OF EVERY RSS ARE RSS ARE USED FOR BUILDING UP CCS#7 SIGNALLING CHANNELS BETWEEN RSS AND THE MSU. TIME SLOT 0 ON EVERY PCM LINE IS USED FOR ALARMS AND OTHER FUNCTIONS. IN LSS, ALL 32 CHLS ON EVERY PCM USED .FOR LSS WITH 32 PCMs 1024 CHLS USED FOR TRAFFIC. NO TRAFFIC BALANCING IS REQUIRED WHILE LOADING SUBSCRIBERS, THAT IS ANY SUBSCRIBER S TELEPHONE NUMBER AND . EACH LSM NEED NOT HAVE A KRC BOARD. TIME SWITCH BUS AMONG ALL LSMs OF AN EMG IS USED TO SHARE TIME SLOTS ON PCMs , AND THE KRC DEVICES. THAT MEANS CHANNELS ON PCMs AND KRC DEVICES ARE AVAILABLE IN A COMMON POOL AND AS SUCH ANY CHL / KRC CAN BE USED FOR ANY CALL IN THE EMG. KRC BOARDS ARE PROVIDED ON THE BASIS OF DTMF TRAFFIC. ( ALL SUBSCRIBERS CAN HAVE DTMF TELEPHONES AND ARE GIVEN THE FACILITY BY DEFAULT UNLESS SOMEONE SAYS HE DOES NOT REQUIRE IT.) CORRESPONDING TO LI BOARD IN LSM A , THERE ARE LIBA BOARDS IN LSM B AND A-LIPA BOARD IN LSM PRA.EXTENTION IN RSS, LSS, ARE VERY EASY DUE TO MODULAR FEATURE. EXTENDABLE MODULES ARE LI, 27 LIBA, LIPA, JTC / ETB BOARDS , LSM MAGAZINES.

GROUP SWITCHING SUBSYSTEM

THE FOLLOWING HARDWARE FORMS PART OF GSS 1.GROUP SWITCH 2.CLOCK MODULES 3.NETWORK SYSCHRONISATION 4.CONFERENCE CALL DEVICES 1.THE GROUP SWITCH: BUILT AROUND T S T STRUCTURE IS USED MAINLY FOR CONNECTIONS FOR DIFFERENT PURPOSES i. e.FOR EXCHANGE OF SPEECH,SIGNALS, DATA etc. IT CONSIST OF TWO TYPES OF MODULES : TSM : TIME SWITCH MODULE SPM : SPACE SWITCHING MODULE (THERE CAN BE MAXIMUM 128 TSMs GIVING 65536 PORTS OR TIME SLOTS. OUTPUT OF EACH TSM IS A 16-PCM MULTIPLEX WHICH IS CONNECTED TO AN SPM AS A HORIZONTAL. THIS SO CALLED HORIZONTAL ACCOMODATES 512 TIME SLOTS BUT EACH OF 244 NANO SEC. THUS ONE FRAME OF THIS PCM MULTIPLEX IS EQUIVALENT TO 16 CONVENTIONAL PCM FRAMES OF 125 MICROSEC. EACH . EACH TIME SLOT CARRIES 10 BITS: 8 OF SPEECH OR DATA , ONE FOR PARITY AND ONE AS A PLANE SELECT BIT. THE HORIZONTAL CARRIES SPEECH SAMPLES COMING FROM THE SUBSCRIBER.
28

Each TSM has also a vertical, again a 16 PCM multiplex , coming from the SPMs. The vertical carries speech samples going towards the subscriber. The cross points are made between a particular incoming time slot on a horizontal connected to the SPM and the same time slot number on any vertical connected on the same SPM. ON each cross-points 10 wires are simultaneously switched through by the gates in the space module A fully equipped SPM has 32 horizontals and 32 verticals as shown in the fig. An SPM thus provides 16384 incoming and 16384 outgoing Time slots and a group switch with with such an SPM is called 16-K group switch. The exchange can be expanded by adding SPM modules such that we have square matrix of 1x1, 2x2, 3x3 , or at the most 4x4 SPMs. A group switch of optimum size is indicated in the fig. The arrangement shows that any timeslot on any horizontal can be connected onto any vertical of the whole group switch, no matter whatever be the size of the switch. The number of TSMs will depend on the number of PCM lines to be connected and the number of SPMs will depend on the number of TSMs. The whole group switch is duplicated in two planes Plane A and Plane B . Both operating totally independently with no interconnection whatsoever. 29

4 SPMs

2. CCD ( CONFERENCE CALL DEVICES ) MAGAZINE EACH CCD MAGAZINE HANDLE 10, 3 PARTY CONFERENCE CALLS. 3. CLM : CLOCK MODULES THERE ARE THREE CLOCK MODULES IN EVERY AXE, CALLED CLMO, CLM1, CLM2. THESE MODULES GENERATE AND SUPPLY STABLE FREQUENCIES TO TSM AND SPM MODULES. 8 KHZ SIGNAL ES USED AS FRAMING FREQUENCY FOR NETWORK SYNCHRONISATION AND 4 MHZ FOR THE OPERATION ) READ/ WRITE ) OF SWITCH MEMORIES IN THE TSM AND SPM MODULES. TRAFFIC HANDLING CAPACITY CAPACITY OH GS 128 TSM + 16 SPM 128x16 PCMs = 2048 PCMs = 65,536 PORTS, POSITIONS, TIME SLOTS DUPLICATED PLANES, A & B FOR SECURITY , SPEECH PASSES ON BOTH PLANES BUT EXTRATED FROM A PLANE ONLY USUALLY.
