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.

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.

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

APPLICATION MODULES
An AM may only inter work with other AMs and the XSS via AM protocols, using communication services made available in the RMP. AMs must be independent of the internal contents of other AMs. Protocols must never convey information of an internal nature of an AM.
45

APPLICATION MODULES
The benefits are
 Improved design- For each individual AM to be designdesigned, the most suitable software structures, solutions & techniques can be used  Co-ordination-The impact of new applications on Co-ordinationexisting ones can be kept to a minimum & there is good co-ordination between old and new applications.  Portability- Portability of applications between Portabilitysystems and markets is possible.

47

APPLICATION MODULES
The following functions belongs to the AMs or the XSS:

 Application related functions

 Subscriber services  Traffic control

 Functions with extensive market variations

 Charging output  Subscriber services

 Functions where network capabilities are required

 Routing to subscriber
48

RESOURCE MODULE PLATFORM (RMP)

The RMP is defined as a collection of resources. These resources are necessary for :
The introduction of AM based applications The support of AM based applications

49

RESOURCE MODULE PLATFORM (RMP)

The RMP is a set of rules how to communicate with XSS or between AMs. AMs communicate with one another or with the XSS via the communication services included in the RMP. The main reason for having an RMP is to provide a location location for shared system resources
50

RESOURCE MODULE PLATFORM (RMP)

The RMP consists of the following subsystems :

 Connection service subsystem (COSS) (COSS)

which permit the user (XSS or AM) to establish switched connections  Controls 64 kbps transmission connections on a per call basis.  Co-ordinates the use of physical switch resources, like channels, conferencing, digit sending / reception,etc.

 Communication service subsystem (COMS)

 The control and co-ordination of inter-AM

Application Platform Service Interface (APSI)

The resources implemented in the Application Platform are defined as services and described in an interface called APSI. The objective of APSI
A generic interface which may be used for AM based applications world-wide Allow easy portability of AMs between systems.
56

EXISTING SOURCE SYSTEM (XSS)

The XSS is an SM which contains most of the existing application (APT) functionality. The XSS appears to other AMs as an AM. The XSS communicates with AMs via AM protocols.

57

EXISTING SOURCE SYSTEM (XSS)

The reasons for maintaining the XSS are:

Redesign of existing products is kept to a minimum. Reuse of the XSS ensures that the stability and quality of existing products are maintained. The cost of redesign of the existing market products is avoided.
