It is further suggested that the fuller exploitation of the optical spectrum available will be via much more extensive high-density WDM. Techniques are described showing that these opportunities could rapidly follow from few-wavelength systems.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":256305,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Global Telecommunications Conference, 1989, and Exhibition.

The elements used in providing these abilities include: a highly modular, multitiered software architecture utilizing well-defined interfaces; a menu of available hardware components which can be mixed to meet the needs of the software architecture; a set of easily integrated functional clusters each providing a specific functional capability; and a fast packet switch connecting functional clusters to form new types of network elements.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":256305,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Global Telecommunications Conference, 1989, and Exhibition.

A three-phase evolution scenario is presented. In the initial phase the broadband services will be provided by different types of MANs. The interim phase will offer interconnection of existing MANs by single ATM switches. In the final phase LANs, MANs, and ATM switches will be integrated into the B-ISDN. The user network interface (UNI) is defined as the standard interface for the MAN/MAN, MAN/ATM switch, and MAN/B-ISDN interconnection configurations. Interworking aspects are examined in context of the selected methodology. The first aspect examined is LAN-MAN interworking, followed by MAN-ATM interworking with reference to standards activities. An interworking model defining the hierarchical migration stages is presented. The impact of networking between evolving networks on quality of service and network performance is examined.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":256305,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Global Telecommunications Conference, 1989, and Exhibition.

The authors introduce the system architecture and functions of SIGNOS and present an example of the interface between the operations system and network elements. In order to resolve the interface between SMX-1 and SIGNOS, the authors apply part of SMX-1 itself to the front end of SIGNOS, anticipating that CCITT protocol no.7 will be suitable for signaling network management in the future.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":256305,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Global Telecommunications Conference, 1989, and Exhibition.

The loop facility to accomplish this is a combination of digital multiplexed cable carrier systems from the central office to various radio ports strategically located in the serving area and low-powered, digital, multiple access radio links to connect the subscribers to the radio ports. To evaluate the cost advantages of multiplexing in every section of the local loop, the cost of a digital cable carrier/radio facility was compared to that of a conventional metallic-based facility with multiplexing only in the feeder portion of the loop. It is shown that the radio technology, with its ability to bring the cost advantages of multiplexing into the distribution plant, has the potential of being a viable alternative to a conventional metallic cable facility. The degree of attractiveness depends upon the system application (fixed or portable) and the system design (number of radio ports required).<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":256305,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Global Telecommunications Conference, 1989, and Exhibition.

The use of directional antennas in the receiving sites to improve the network performance is presented and analyzed. The basic idea is to reduce the contention of the users (transmitters) by dividing the coverage area into different regions; at the receiving site, a single directional antenna is aimed at one region, so that transmissions from different regions do not interface with each other. In addition to the reduction of the multiuser interference, the directional antennas allow for different classifications, in different regions, of the users according to their physical and link level parameters. The throughput improvement is substantial for heavy-traffic conditions, and the gains are further amplified if the number of available receivers is increased. Numerical results for performance comparison with the case receivers using omnidirectional antennas are also included.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":256305,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Global Telecommunications Conference, 1989, and Exhibition.

Paterson described the new approach to performing failure mode analysis. This technique insured that each high-level functional failure mode of the detailed design is detected, recovered, and isolated according to the intent of the system-level design. Since that work, Bell-Northern Research has improved the technique and developed a toolset to make the analysis more efficient and effective. The toolset models a system from the high-level architecture to the device level while taking the software maintenance design into consideration. The model calculates the impact of subtle detail design changes at the system level and consequently identifies the effect on the end user and the operating company. The BNR design process and fault-tolerant verification process are described. To illustrate the approach considered, a switching network for a telephone switch is considered. It is concluded that the current fault tolerant verification strategy with the complementing toolset is an effective and efficient way of designing high-quality fault-tolerant systems.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":256305,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Global Telecommunications Conference, 1989, and Exhibition.

The synchronization problems are solved by distributing a master code in the forward link and using forced link activation in the return when no speech activity is detected. The blocking probability is minimized by means of multirate speech coding associated with a centralized network control. Bit error rate calculations show all the advantages of operating in a synchronous mode.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":256305,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Global Telecommunications Conference, 1989, and Exhibition.
