Special thanks is due to Felicia Shapiro who particularly managed the production and Steve Menkefor his excellent project editing work
Trang 6In the preparation of this book, our objective was to provide an advanced understanding of emergingtelecommunications systems, their significance, and the anticipated role these systems will play in thefuture With the help of our talented associated editors and contributors, we believe we have accomplishedthis By addressing voice, Internet, traffic management, and future trends, we feel our readers will beknowledgeable about current and future telecommunications systems
In Section 1, the techniques of voice communication systems are outlined, with attention paid to bothbasic and advanced systems Advanced intelligent networks (AIN) and computer telephony integrated(CTI) are key building blocks for future voice systems Finally, voice over IP, and the anticipated inte-gration of voice and IP data is closely examined The second part of this section concentrates on state-of-the-art solutions for local area networks In addition to data communication capabilities, multimediaattributes of LANs are also addressed
Section 2 provides a detailed explanation of the Internet, including elements of its structure andconsideration of how future services will be handled on the Internet Internet management and securityare discussed A detailed discussion of virtual private networks (VPNs) is provided, as well as presentation
of web design and data warehousing concepts Electronic commerce and Internet protocols are presented
in detail, permitting the reader to understand and select with insight from the available web-basedtechnology choices
Section 3 continues the exploration of advanced telecommunications concepts, focusing on networkmanagement and administration As the services and features provided the network become larger inscale and scope, network management will become even more crucial and important than it is today.Telecommunications network management (TNM) and Telecommunications Information NetworkingArchitecture (TINA) are presented The telecommunications support process is outlined, includingmanagement frameworks and customer network management A detailed consideration of outsourcingoptions, which will become even more frequent, is presented The performance impact of networkmanagement is detailed
Finally, in Section 4, future trends and directions are considered, with a view toward satisfying userneeds in parallel with application trends, which will require system and service integration While weknow the future will hold new products and services, accounting for these services is a challenge, and
an examination of telecommunications tariffing is also provided
We hope our readers find this book an excellent guide to emerging telecommunications trends

as 800 or 900, triggers a request for a specific service A later version of IN called advanced intelligentnetwork (AIN) introduces the idea of a service-independent architecture in which a given part of atelephone number can be interpreted differently by various services depending on factors such as time
of day, caller identity, and type of call AIN makes it easy to add new services without having to installnew phone equipment
Trang 141.1.2 Overview
This chapter discusses how the network has evolved from one in which switch-based service logic providesservices to one in which service-independent AIN capabilities allow for service creation and deployment
As the IN evolves, service providers will be faced with many opportunities and challenges While the
IN provides a network capability to meet the ever-changing needs of customers, network intelligence isbecoming increasingly distributed and complicated For example, third-party service providers will beinterconnecting with traditional operating company networks Local number portability (LNP) presentsmany issues that can only be resolved in an IN environment to meet government mandates Also, ascompetition grows with companies offering telephone services previously denied to them, the IN provides
a solution to meet the challenge
1.1.3 Network Evolution
1.1.3.1 Plain Old Telephone Service (POTS)
Prior to the mid-1960s, the service logic (Figure 1.1.1) was hard-wired in switching systems Typically,network operators met with switch vendors, discussed the types of services customers required, negotiatedthe switching features that provided the services, and finally agreed upon a generic release date for featureavailability After this, the network operator planned for the deployment of the generic feature/service
in the switching network fabric
This process was compounded for the network operator with switching systems from multiple vendors
As a result, services were not offered ubiquitously across an operator’s serving area So, a customer inone end of a city, county, or state may not have had the same service offerings as a person in anotherpart of the area
Also, once services were implemented, they were not easily modified to meet individual customer’srequirements Often, the network operator negotiated the change with the switch vendor As a result ofthis process, it took years to plan and implement services This approach to new service deploymentrequired detailed management of calling patterns, and providing new trunk groups to handle callingpatterns As customer calling habits changed — such as longer call lengths, larger calling areas, andmultiple lines in businesses and residences — the demand on network operators increased
1.1.3.2 Stored Program Control (SPC)
In the mid-1960s, stored program control (SPC) switching systems were introduced SPC was a majorstep forward because now service logic was programmable where, in the past, the service logic was hardwired As a result, it was now easier to introduce new services Nevertheless, this service logic conceptwas not modular It became increasingly more complicated to add new services because of the dependencybetween the service and the service-specific logic Essentially, service logic that was used for one service

Trang 15could not be used for another As a result, if customers were not served by a SPC switching system, newservices were not available to them.
1.1.3.3 Common Channel Signaling Network (CCSN)
Another aspect of the traditional service offerings was the call setup information — the signaling andcall supervision that took place between switching systems and the actual call When a call was set up, asignal and talk path used the same common trunk from the originating switching system to the termi-nating switching system Often there were multiple offices involved in the routing of a call This processseized the trunks in all of the switching systems involved Hence, if the terminating end was busy, all ofthe trunks were set up unnecessarily
The network took a major leap forward in the mid-1970s with the introduction of the common channelsignaling network (CCSN), or SS7 network for short Signaling system number 7 (SS7) is the protocolthat runs over the CCSN The SS7 network consists of packet data links and packet data switching systemscalled signaling transfer points (STPs)
The SS7 network (Figure 1.1.2) separates the call setup information and talk path from the commontrunks that run between switching systems The call setup information travels outside the common trunkpath over the SS7 network The type of information transferred includes permission for the call setup,whether or not the called party is busy
SS7 technology frees up trunk circuits between switching systems for the actual calls The SS7 networkenabled the introduction of new services, such as caller ID Caller ID provides the calling party’s telephonenumber, which is transmitted over the SS7 network The SS7 network was designed before the IN conceptwas introduced However, telephone operators realized that there were many advantages to implementingand using SS7 network capabilities
1.1.4 Introduction of IN
During the mid-1980s, regional Bell operating companies (RBOCs) began requesting features that metthe following objectives:
• Rapid deployment of services in the network
• Vendor independence and standard interfaces
• Opportunities for non-RBOCs to offer services for increased network usage
Bell Communications Research (Bellcore) responded to this request and developed the concept of
