PREFACE
Practical training in an industry is an essential part of an engineering curriculum towards making a successful engineer, as in an industry only a student can realize the theory thought in classroom and it also gives an exposure to modern technology. In the field of Electronics Computer engineering there has been rapid development to support the ever increasing volume information, so Electronics students has an opportunity during Training period to knowledge about the latest technologies. The training period of 6 weeks is not much sufficient to take complete knowledge of technology used but one is expected to identify components, the process flow in an industry for high efficiency and about the knowledge of product technology. Practical knowledge means the visualization of the knowledge, which we read in books. For this we perform experiments and get observations. Practical knowledge is very important in every field. One must be familiar with the problems related to that field so that we may solve them and became successful person. After achieving the proper goal of life an Engineer has to enter in professional life. According to this life he has to serve an industry, may be public or private sector or self-own. For the efficient work in the field he must be well aware of practical knowledge as well as theoretical knowledge. To be a good Engineer, one must be aware of the industrial environment & must know about management, working in industry, labor problems etc., so we can tackle them successfully. Due to all the above reasons & to bridge the gap between theory and practical, our engineering curriculum provides a practical training course of 28 days. During this period a student in industry and gets all type of experience and knowledge about the working and maintenance of various types of machinery. Since time immemorial, a man has tried hard to bring the world as close to himself as possible. His thirst for information is hard to quench so he has continuously tried to develop new technologies, which have helped to reach the objective.
The world we see today is a result of the continuous research in the field of
communication, which started with the invention of telephone by Graham Bell to the current avatar as we see in the form INTERNET and mobile phones. All these technologies have come to existence because man continued its endeavor towards the objective. This project report of mine, STUDY OF TRENDS TECHNOLOGIES IN COMMUNICATION AND NETWORKING has been a small effort in reviewing the trends technologies prevailing. For this purpose, no organization other than BAHRAT SANCHAR NIGAM LIMITED could have been a better choice. I have undergone by 6 weeks of training (after II yr.) at BAHRAT SANCHAR NIGAM LIMITED, ADAVNACED LEVEL TELECOMMUNICATION TRAINING CENTER, GHAZIABAD (UP). This report has been prepared on the basis of the knowledge which I acquired during my 6 weeks (14th June to 21st July,2012) training at the Company.

Introduction
COMPANY PROFILE
Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited (BSNL) is India's leading telecommunications provider and the country's largest public-sector firm. BSNL provides local-exchange access and domestic long-distance services through a network of more than 45 million access lines covering most of India. It also offers wireless communications, data and Internet services, as well as business voice and data services. The company is still controlled by the government, as is one of India's other large phone companies, Mahanagar Telephone Nigam Limited (MTNL). Plans to merge the two companies have been discussed but seem to be on hold.
HIGHLIGHTS
Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited has a vast reservoir of highly skilled and Experienced work force of about 3,57,000 personnel. We believe that our staff, which is one of the best trained manpower in the telecom sector, is our biggest asset. To meet the technological challenges, employees are trained for technology up-gradation modernization, computerization, etc. in BSNL's training Centers spread across Country. To apex training centers of BSNL i.e. Advance level Telecom Training Center (ALTTC) at Ghaziabad and Bharat Ratna Bhimrao Telecom Training Center at Jabalpur are comparable to any world class Telecom Training Center. Moreover, 43 zonal training centers and a National Academy of Telecom Finance and Management have been running for several years now. Different curriculum runs in these centers to impart technology based training, Training for Attitudinal change, basic educational and skill development, Program etc.
for the Posts and the Telecommunications were created. The accounts of the department, initially, were maintained by the Accountant General of the P&T. However, by April 1972, the telecommunications accounts were separated. Simultaneously the department also started preparing the balance sheet annually. With the takeover of the accounts from the audit and delegation of larger financial powers to the field units, internal Financial Advisers were posted to all the circles and units.
Constitution:
The Telecommunication Board consisted of the Secretary Telecommunications, who was the Chairman with Member (Finance), Member (Operations), Member (Development), Member (Personnel) and Member (Technology). The Telecom Commission was constituted in 1989. The Commission has the DoT Secretary as its Chairman with Member (Services), Member (Technology) and Member (Finance) as its full time members. The Secretary (Finance), Secretary (DoE), Secretary (Industries) and Secretary (Planning Commission) are part time members of the Commission. The Department in 1986 reorganised the Telecommunication Circles with the Secondary Switching Areas as basic units. This was implemented in a phased manner. Bombay and Delhi Telephones were separated to create the new entity called Mahanagar Telephone Nigam Ltd. (MTNL). On 1st October 2000, Department created BSNL, a new entity to operate services in different parts of the country as a public sector unit.
VISION
To become the largest Telecom Service Provider in South East Asia. It is defined as an organizations dream, which it wants to realize in the long run say 5-10 year time-frame. A dream which a company sincerely attempts to make a reality. While it is not necessary to have a Vision statement, it makes sense to have one so that all efforts, energy and resources get directed in realizing this Vision.
MISSION
- To provide world class State-of-art technology telecom services on demand at affordable price. - To provide world class telecom infrastructure to develop countrys economy. Mission is the path taken to realize the Vision. For example if leading a prosperous life after graduation is the vision of parents for their son, mission could be to get the son admitted in an engineering college so as to realize that vision.

For smooth working of an exchange following unit are very important: 1. Computer Unit: - it deals with additional services of the exchange to the customers with the help of computers. 2. Power Plant:- to feed proper power supply to exchange 3. AC Plant: - to maintain the continuous temperature + or 2 degree Celsius to the digital switch (exchange). 4. MDF: - to connect switch (exchange) with the external environment (subscriber) i.e. it is the interface between subscribers and exchange.
1.
Computer unit: -
as the name specified it is the main part of the exchange that deals with the all services provided by the exchange to the customers with the help of computer. It also provides the updated data to all other part of the exchange. The customers are using the services of the exchange by using the internet also gets connected to the main server present this room via an internet room. It mainly consists of the servers that are providing the different services. The main servers of
19
2. POWERPLANT: As we know that, the power is the main source or any organization. It is the case of E-10B exchange. That is the first requirement of any organization is the input. The main source of this exchange is AC supply. However, as soon as the power supply is gone off, then what is source? No one think on this that the telephone is always plays its role in the human life. Even if the power supply gone off. Thus there must be adjustment source of power. The main parts of the power room are: i. Batteries: - these are the instant sources of the power as soon as power is gone off.
ii.
Charging- Discharging Unit: - the batteries we are using in the power room need timely charging. As soon as the AC power supply is on, we make use of the charging unit present in the power room. The slowly charging of the batteries is known as the trickle charging. But sometimes we need the BOOSTER charging. In this type of charging awe take of the batteries from the load and charge separately, until it gets fully charged. The main work of the discharging unit is to control the discharging of the batteries.
iii.
Inverter and Converter Unit: - the main use of this system is to change AC mains to DC and vice versa as required by the parts of exchange.
iv.
Engine Room:-we know that the batteries are the instant source of supply but we cannot use it for much larger time, thus for this, we have an engine to generate the
20
power supply. They are of 885 KVA. Thus, this room controls the supply of the engine.
UPS system has three operating mode which can be designated as 1. Normal mode 2. Emergency mode 3. Recovery mode I. NORMAL MODE: The rectifier charger draws power from the ac mains & convert it into DC. This DC power is supplied to the inverter which converts it back into AC power to feed the critical load connected to the output of the inverter. A small amount of DC owner is also supplied to the battery which is connected to the output of the rectifier charger. The battery is thus kept in a fully charged condition by the rectifier charge. In this condition the battery is said to be on float across the rectifier charger. In this mode the battery does not supply any power to the inverter.
II.
EMERGENCY MODE: Emergency mode occurs when there is an interruption in the AC input to the rectifier charger.
Interruption like voltage dips below the limit acceptable to the rectifier charger to fall. But the input of the inverter cannot fall because the battery is across inverter input & it maintains the voltage. AC mains is interrupted, the source of the inverter input current gets instantaneously transferred from the
21
rectifier charger to the battery when the output voltage generated by the rectifier charger falls below the battery voltage. The battery which was earlier on float (charged) instantaneously goes into discharge & then supplies power to the inverter till the AC mains resumes or the battery gets fully discharged. During this mode current cannot flow back from the battery into the AC mains because the voltage reverse biases the diodes or THYRISTORS in the rectifier charger.
III.
RECOVERY MODE: The recovery mode commences when the AC mains resumes after the interruption. When the
generated voltage of the rectifier exceed the battery voltage. The input current of the inverter gets instantaneously transferred from the battery to the rectifier charger. During this mode the rectifier charger not only supplies power to the inverter but also supplies charging current to the battery to restore the charge lost by the battery during the emergency mode. When the battery gets fully charged, the charging current decreases progressively and the battery reverts to the float mode and the UPS to the normal mode. The duration of the recovery mode depends on the extent of battery discharged, approximately 10 to 20 hours depending on the battery specifications and the design of the rectifier charger. 3. AC PLANT (CENTRAL AIR CONDITIONER) for the function of electrical equipment, cooling system is basic requirement. The basic advantages of cooling systems are followingIt provides the thermal stability so that the temperature does not reach the tolerance limit electronic equipment. It saves equipment from dust so to avoid malfunction of equipments. It protects equipment from excess humidity which can caused rusting of equipment.

The basic unit of measurement used in the industry is known as ton of refrigeration (TR) which is equivalent to the heat extracted in 24 hours for converting thousands kg of liquid to ice at zero degree. The compressor is the heart of the AC system and the costliest. It increases the pressure and temperature of the refrigerant gas coming from the evaporator coils by compressing it. Compressor comes in various types. The most widely used is simple reciprocal type a cylinder and piston arrangement. For capacity more than 120 TR, centrifugal compressors are used. The condenser liquefies the refrigerant gas by a heat exchange process. The capillary tube or the expansion valve pressurizes liquid refrigerant and meters it flows to the evaporator. The refrigerant then passes through the evaporator coils, which extract heat out of the ambience.
4. MAIN DISTRIBUTION FRAME The primary function of MDF is: The fault of telephone number is removed in the MDF; it is called as Fault Remove Section. For removing the fault of telephone number, we use the testing these testing are T.T.Y. testing, Group testing, etc. For any type of testing firstly we need the vertical no. or the live tester, printer and computer test N.E. number of that particular telephone number. The telephone numbers are also disconnected in the MDF because of some specific reason. ORGANISATION OF THE MDF
a. HORIZONTAL SIDE: It is again subdivided in to two parts Exchange side Line side Description of the horizontal side:RACK: - On the rack, the tags are situated. One rack is having eight tags. The courting is done from up (0) to down (7). TAG: - Each rack consists of eight tags. 1 tag = 4 core 1 core = 4 bunch 1 bunch = 2 line
23
N.E.:- The word NE stands for the NUMBER OF EQUIPMENT. It is a 128 pair cable. The EWSD and MDF connected by NE.
WEDGE:-If we want to disconnect any two numbers then we insert a wedge between subscriber side and exchange side. Here wedge works as insulator made of plastic.
a.
VERTICAL SIDE:
The vertical aside connected to the underground cable. This cable is having 100 pairs. These pair is distributed when we allot the telephone number to the subscriber. Vertical side is again subdivided in two parts: One part is connected with the horizontal side and another with the subscriber line by using 100 pair underground cable. This is how the present day telephone system works. Different exchanges have different architectures of switching call routing and other features.
FUNCTION OF MDF: -
A fixed means of terminating the external cables. A means for mounting the protective devices for incoming circuits. A convenient point of interception for locating of faults. A means for cross connecting the external circuits to the appropriate Internal circuits. The MDF is properly earthed for the protection of the equipment. The external pairs are area wise terminated on the line side of the frame, while connection from the equipment is done on the exchange side in a numerical order. By interconnections at this frame with the help of jumper wires, any subscriber in any area can be given any exchange number. This MDF mounts Delay Fuses only.
PROTECTIVE DEVICES : -
Comprehensive protection against effects of lightning and power line contacts, is achieved in practice by fuses, arresters and heat coils. They are not affected by normal speech and signaling voltage and current but operates when the foreign voltage or current on the line is excessive. The line is then disconnected automatically from the equipment or a connection to earth is For safety precautions fuses are used. Every subscriber line has individual fuse. These fuses are made of GD (gas discharge) tube, which are connected in parallel. These fuses have two sides, one is exchange side and other is subscriber side. Connections between the different tag blocks are made using the jumper wires of red and white colors. GD tubes are connected in parallel while electrical fuses are connected in series. In electrical fuse, when high voltage appears across it, then it will break up the
24
Connection and thus safeguard the system. If GD tube is connected in series, then due to high voltage across any line, the whole exchange will be disconnected. Thus when GD tubes are connected in parallel, it will provide the required facility.
GASE DISCHARGE PROCTECTORS: In case of heavy lightning discharges, gas discharge protectors are used and more consistent voltage is obtained. The gas discharge protector essentially consists of two tungsten electrodes sealed in a special glass envelope containing a mixture of inert gases, mainly neon. One of the electrodes are for connections to the lines and the other is the earth electrode. If the potential difference across the electrodes rises to a certain critical value (the Striking value) the gas is ionized and becomes conducting. This condition will Continue till the potential difference across the electrodes falls to the extinction voltage value. For voltages less than striking value it will not conduct. For normal operating voltages on the lines, it offers extremely high impedance and thus does not introduce any transmission loss. For equipment side: MDF has many tag blocks of 100 and that numbered from 1 to 100. In a tag block, there are 128 pair wire theoretically. Therefore, total number of Connecting wires are 1024 theoretically. But in practical, there are only 1000 pairs. For equipment side: From ground, a single pair of 400 wires originates, which is divided In 4 pairs of 100 wires. Practically, each pair is provided with 102 wires. These Exact 2 wires are used in case of any manufacturing defect. For broadband connections, different colored tag blocks are provided. Broadband is used to provide different facilities on land-line phones with high Speed to access them. A grey colored tag block is used for line side while yellow Colored tag block is used on equipment side. These tag blocks has 0 to 47 pairs. In order to know the centre load point.: Cabinet and pillar are provided with capacity as per requirement. The D.P. box is Provided with 10 or 20 or 5 pairs. Now a days, a D.P. box of 5 pairs is used which is wall mount instead of being mounted on pole. To identify any telephone, we require the following two addresses:1. Exchange/line address 2. Equipment address Exchange address is written in given manner: Vertical number-tag block number-pair number
25
For example 7-5-15 Here, vertical no.=7 Tag block no.=5 Pair no.=15 This gives the address of a telephone in the exchange. Equipment address is given as:Rack number-tag block number-pair number For example7-6-87 Here,rack no.=7 Tag block no.=6 Pair no.=87 This gives the information about the actual location of telephone equipment. This address is provided to lineman for repairing, in case of any fault. There is a section of fault repairing located in MDF section. When subscribers phone is not working, then subscriber call to exchange. For this he dial,198.

When a fault like Phone dead is reported then first check is made at the MDF (i) (ii) (iii) a Phone Set is inserted on the Line Side, some number is dialed and it is checked if the conversation takes place properly then the fault is said to be on the Line But if there is no Dial Tone then the fault is said to be on the Exchange side
If there is dial tone at the Pillar but not in the subscribers home then the fault is in between the DP and the subscribers phone set. Otherwise at the Pillar If there is dial tone at the Pillar but not at the DP then Otherwise the phone is checked at the Cabinet If there is dial tone at the Otherwise the only option left is that the fault is in between the MDF and the
the fault is in between the DP and the Pillar Cabinet but not at the Pillar then the fault is in between the Cabinet and the Pillar Cabinet

Switching Systems
Switching is basically transfer of information from one point to another point with some intelligence or control or Switching is basically establishing a temporary path or connection between two points or writing at one point of time and reading at another point of time. There are two modes of switching employed in our network.
Circuit Switching
In normal service, basically, a circuit between the calling party and the called party is set up and this circuit is kept reserved till the call is completed. Here two speech time slots are involved i.e one of the caller and the other of the called party. This is called as circuit switching. This is based on the sampling theorem. Voice Frequency Range: 3KHz to 3400KHz According to sampling theorem, Fs>=2*Fh Sampling frequency: 2*4 KHz = 8000 Hz = 8000sample/second Time Period: 125s On using a PCM Channel Cable, where 32 Time slots are available(2 for signaling), So we have 30 Speech time slots available in 125s. So for one time slot, we have : 3.90s 32 Time Slots make up one Time Frame.
Packet Switching
The information (speech, data etc.) is divided into packets. Each packet containing piece of information also bears source and destination address. These packets are sent independently through the network with the destination address in them. Each packet may follow different path depending upon the network.

1. Time Switching
Time Switching involves the interconnection of different - slots on the incoming and outgoing highways by reassigning the channel sequence. Basically it is a Time Slot changer. Time Switch can be operated in two modes: Output associated control Input associated control.
Output Associated Control 32 samples of I/C PCM are written cyclically in the speech memory locations in order of time slots of I/C PCM, i.e TS1 is written in location 1, TS2 is written in location 2, and . The contents of speech memory are read on output PCM in the order specified by control memory. Each location of control memory is rigidly associated with the corresponding time slot of the O/G PCM and contains the address of the TS of incoming PCM to be connected.

Here location of control memory is rigidly associated with the corresponding TS of I/C PCM and contains the address of the TS of O/G PCM to be connected.

Though the electronic cross points are not so expensive, the cost of accessing and selecting them from external pins in space switch becomes the limitation as the switch size increases.

EWSD
1. General Overview
EWSD (Elektronisches Whlsystem Digital in German, Electronic Digital Switching System/Electronic World Switch Digital in English) is one of the most widely installed telephone exchange systems in the world. EWSD can work as a local or tandem switch or combined local/tandem, and for landline or mobile phones. It is manufactured by Siemens AG, who claims that EWSD switches perform switching for over 160 million subscriber lines in more than 100 countries. DeTeWe bought its first EWSD under license in 1985 for remote switching. Bosch built its first EWSD as a local exchange in 1986. Deutsche Telekom, formerly Deutsche Bundespost, the largest German telephone company, uses EWSD and System 12 (Alcatel), the former more than the latter. In 2007, Nokia Corporation and Siemens AG formed the new company Nokia Siemens Networks, and responsibility of further development and shipments of the EWSD system is dependent on this new company.

Hardware
Main subsystems are:
CP (Central Processor) MB (Message Buffer) CCNC (Common Channel Network Control) LINE (Analog Line Group) LTG (Line Trunk Group) DLU (Digital Line Unit) SN (Switching Network)
All system units are redundant so the inactive side can take over immediately in case of an error. DLU handles analog and ISDN lines and includes codecs for analog lines, one of the BORSCHT functions for subscriber lines. Digital signals are assigned a time slot. DLU concentrates traffic onto a Line B unit, as well as Primary ISDN and V5.2 connections. Supervision and address signaling (dial pulse, DTMF) are also integrated in the DLU. For PCM-30 (E-1) connections to other exchanges, Line C Units are used, which also handle signaling including SS7, MFC R2 signaling, IKZ (dial pulse), and E&M. he Switching Network consists of 4 space division stages of 16x16 switches, and a time division section with 16 stages of 4x4 switches. Control is provided by the CP Co-ordination Processor. There are the following kinds of Co-ordination Processors:
CP103 with max 22,000 call attempts in the busy hour CP112 with max 60,000 call attempts in the busy hour CP113D with max one million call attempts in the busy hour CP113C with max six million call attempts in the busy hour CP113E with max ten million call attempts in the busy hour
Software
The software of EWSD is called APS (Automatic Program System). The APS is on a hard drive and includes the operating system, developed by Siemens in cooperation with Bosch. It is predominantly written in the CHILL language. Application software is switch specific and serves among other things traffic management, path search, and call charging. Support software serves translating programs,
32
binding modules as well as administration of libraries for generating data. Operating and data communication software serve for co-operation of maintenance centers and switching centers.
Number of access lines: to 250,000 Number of feeder lines: 240,000 Traffic connection: 25,200 Call attempts in busy hour: 10 million Operating voltages: -48V -60V -90V Rate zones: 127, for each zone of 6 tariffs Tariff change-over at 15 minute intervals Space requirement with 10,000 access lines: 35 square meters 15-25 *C Temperature
1. INTRODUCTION OF EWSD
Switching network (SN) performs the switching function for speech as well as for messages in an EWSD exchange. For this purpose it is connected to LTGs and CCNC for speech/data and to CP (through MB) for exchange of control information. Switching network with ultimate capacity up to 63 LTGs is called SN DE4. For larger exchanges SN DE5.1 is used which can connect up to 126 LTGs. Similarly SN DE5.2 can connect up to 252 and SN DE5.4 up to 504 LTGs.

For security reasons, entire SN is duplicated. The two sides of SN (SN0 and SN1) are called planes. The external highways for both transmission directions i.e. between the switching network and one LTG or between the switching network and one Message Buffer Unit (MBU) are identified as follows as shown in figure 2. * SDC: LTG interface between SN and LTG: time slot 0 for message exchange between the LTG and coordination processor (CP) as well as between two LTGs, time slot 1 to 127 for subscriber connections. SDC: CCNC interface between the SN and the common channel signaling network (CCNC): for common channel signaling. SDC: TSG interface between SN and a message buffer unit assigned to CP (MBU: LTG) for message exchange between the CP and the LTGs as well as between the LTGs. SDC: SGC between the SN and an MBU: SGC of the CP for setting up and clearing connections.
* * *
Switching network in EWSD exchanges uses time and space switching and therefore it is functionally divided into Time Stage Group (TSG) and Space Stage Group (SSG). SN DE4 with capacity stage SN: 63LTG has a TST structure and TSG/SSG division is not applicable in this case. TSGs and SSGs are interconnected through internal 8 Mb/s interfaces called SDC:SSG. TSGs of both planes are connected to SSGs of both planes, and thus these provide further security. Each TSG and SSG have its own Switch Group Control(SGC) that is connected to CP via MB through interfaces SDC:SGC.

Capacity Stages
The present version of SN is available in capacity stages SN:63LTG, SN:126LTG, SN:252LTG and SN:504LTG. Modular structure permits partially equipped SN. Up gradation from DE5.1 to DE5.2 and from DE5.2 to DE5.4 is possible with the help of supplier. SN DE4 is not upgradable to DE5.1 as TSG and SSG are not separately identified in SN DE4. The traffic handling capacity, connect ability for various capacity stages of SN are shown in Table 1.

three space stages (SS) and One time stage outgoing (TSO). These time and space stages (functional units), shown in figure 3, are located in the following module types: Link interface module between TSM and LTG (LIL) time stage module (TSM) link interface module between TSG and SSG (LIS) space stage module 8|15 (SSM8|15) space stage module 16|16 (SSM16|16)
The switching network capacity stage SN:63LTG, however has a TST structure with only one space stage as shown in figure 4. Module types LIS and SSM 8|15 are not there in SN:63 LTG.

6.1.2. TSM:
The number of TSMs in a switching network is always equal to the number of LILs. Each TSM contains one time stage incoming (TSI) and one time stage outgoing (TSO) (Figure 5). The TSI and the TSO handle the incoming or outgoing information in the switching network. Between input and output, octets can change their time slot and highway via time Stages. Octets on four incoming highways are cyclically written into the speech memory of a TSI or TSO (4x128 = 512 locations corresponding to 512 different time slots). The speech memory areasLIL 0 and 1 are used alternately in consecutive 125microseconds periods for writing the octets. The connections to be made determine the octet sequence during read-out. The stored octets are read-out to any one of 512 time slots and then LIL transferred via four outgoing highways.

Via space stages, octets can change their highways between input and output, but they retain the same time slot. Space stages 8|15, 16|16 and 15|8 switch the received octets synchronously with the time slots and the 125-microsecond periods. The connections to be switched change in consecutive time slots. In this process, the octets arriving on incoming highways are spatially distributed to

outgoing highways . In capacity stages with a TST structure, the SSM 16|16 Switches the octets received from the TSIs directly to the TSOs.

7.3Firmware
The firmware for the switching network is permanently stored in the program memory of each SGC. For this reason, it does not have to be loaded or initialized by the coordination processor (CP). SN firmware is organized in the following manner: executive control programs call processing programs maintenance programs startup and safeguarding programs
42
Switching network (B) is a special compact version of switching network wherein a number of functional units are integrated over a single module. This arrangement has the following advantages: * * * Reduction in shelf space Reduction in number of PCB types Utilization of available space in SN rack for accommodating LTGs
Functionally SN(B) is entirely similar to SN. However, only the following five types of modules are used in SN(B) as shown in table 3. TSMB: LISB: Two LILs and two time stage modules TSMs are combined to form one TSMB. This is formed by combining two LIS functional units in a TSG.
SSM8B: Two LIS and two SSM8|15 functional units in a SSG are combined to form one SSM8B. SSM16B: This is formed by combining eight SSM16|16 functional units. SGCB: Functional units LIM and SGC are combined to form one SGCB.

Apart from the connections determined by subscribers by inputting dialing information, the switching network also makes connections between the LTG and the CP. These connections are used to exchange control information; they are setup only once, and then they are always available. For this reason, they are called semi-permanent connections. Via these same connections, the LTGs also interchange message without having to burden the CPs processing unit. In this manner, a separate line network for the exchange of messages within an exchange is not necessary. Nailed-up connections and connections for common channel signaling are made on a semi-permanent basis as well.
52
Transmission Media
There are mainly 7 types of transmission media through which data is transferred or received. They are: Open Wire Systems (OWS) Coaxial Cables UHF System Microwave Systems (wave) Digital Transmission System(DTS) Satellite System (SAT Comm.) Optical Fibre Cable(OFC)
An open wire transmission line is made up of two parallel wires. Nonconductive spacers are used between the wires to separate and support them. The distance between the conducting wires is anywhere between 2 to 6 inches. The advantage of the open wire line is its simplicity in construction. The major disadvantage of the open wire line pair is its high energy loss. Since the wires are not shielded, energy loss via radiation is immense. Additionally, the wire pair is capable of picking up random signals, resulting in interference (crosstalk). The open wire transmission line pair is typically used to transmit acoustic waves for telephone applications.
A twisted pair transmission line is formed when two individual insulated wire conductors are twisted around one other. The twisting cancels out all electromagnetic interference from neighboring sources, such as crosstalk between nearby wire pairs and radiation generated from a pair of unshielded twisted pair (UTP) transmission lines. Twisted pair lines are shielded to prevent energy loss and external interference. The shielding offered is typically metallic. The advantages of a twisted pair transmission line are its size, flexibility and cost. A pair of twisted transmission lines is less expensive than other types of cables. The disadvantages of a twisted pair cable include stringent installation requirements. This type is not effective during transmission of video data for it is known to cause delays and color defects. The various types of twisted pair cables include loaded twisted pair, unloaded twisted pair, bonded twisted pair and twisted ribbon cables.
53
An unshielded twisted transmission line pair consists of two copper wires that are individually insulated. The insulation is provided by a polyvinyl chloride coating. The wires are twisted more than two times around each other to further reduce external interference and crosstalk. The bandwidth of an unshielded twisted pair is increased by the number of twists per segment and the way in which the wires have been twisted. An unshielded twisted pair transmission line is used for telephonic applications and to connect computer networks. Its major advantage is its flexibility and installation ease. Its major disadvantages include increased external interference and energy loss.
Facts:
The long distance voice communication till 1950s was almost entirely transported over Open Wire Carrier system. The voice signals for these systems were modulated to a higher frequency and carried through open wire systems. These open wire systems are capable of carrying traffic of three to twelve subscribers at a time.
Coaxial Cables
Open-wire transmission lines have the property that the electromagnetic wave propagating down the line extends into the space surrounding the parallel wires. These lines have low loss, but cannot be bent, twisted, or otherwise shaped without changing their characteristic impedance, causing reflection of the signal back toward the source, cannot be run along or attached to anything conductive, as the extended fields will induce currents in the nearby conductors causing unwanted radiation and detuning of the line. Coaxial lines solve this problem by confining virtually all of the electromagnetic wave to the area inside the cable. They can therefore be bent and moderately twisted without negative effects, and they can be strapped to conductive supports without inducing unwanted currents in them. These cables may be viewed as a type of waveguide. Power is transmitted through the radial electric field and the circumferential magnetic field in the TEM00 transverse mode. This is the dominant mode from zero frequency (DC) to an upper limit determined by the electrical dimensions of the cable.
Microwave Systems
54
Microwaves are widely used for point-to-point communications because their small wavelength allows conveniently-sized antennas to direct them in narrow beams, which can be pointed directly at the receiving antenna. This allows nearby microwave equipment to use the same frequencies without interfering with each other, as lower frequency radio waves do. Another advantage is that the high frequency of microwaves gives the microwave band a very large informationcarrying capacity; the microwave band has a bandwidth 30 times that of all the rest of the radio spectrum below it. A disadvantage is that microwaves are limited to line of sight propagation; they cannot pass around hills or mountains as lower frequency radio waves can. Microwave radio transmission is commonly used in point-topoint communication systems on the surface of the Earth, in satellite communications, and in deep space radio communications. Other parts of the microwave radio band are used for radars, radio navigation systems, sensor systems, and radio astronomy. In wide band of frequencies around 60 GHz, the radio waves are strongly attenuated by molecular oxygen in the atmosphere. The electronic technologies needed in the millimeter wave band are also much more difficult to utilize than those of the microwave band. The first Microwave system was installed between Calcutta and Asansole. Microwave systems with 60, 300 and 1800 voice channels capacity were inducted into the telecom network subsequently.
Satellite Systems
It works for connecting far flung, inaccessible area and island community started in late seventies by Department of Telecommunication. The first Domestic Satellite Network was established by connecting Port-Blair and Car-Nicobar in Andaman & Nicobar Islands, Kavaratti in Lakshadweep islands, Leh in Ladakh region and Aizwal in North Eastern region. These stations were simultaneously linked to the gateway at Delhi and Chennai. This satellite network was commissioned in November 1980 through International Telecommunication Satellite. Satellite Communication capacity increased with launch of INSAT-1 and INSAT-2 series satellites. MCPC - VSAT (Multi Channel per Carrier - Very Small Aperture Terminals) systems were developed and deployed in remote and inaccessible areas of Garhwal region Uttar Pradesh, Himachal Pradesh, Arunachal Pradesh, J&K, Orissa, Sikkim etc. for providing STD
55
facilities. These terminals are linked to earth station generally co-located with the TAX (Trunk Automatic Exchange).
56
57
Transmission Characteristics
The transmission characteristics of optical fiber cables play a major role in determining the performance of the entire communication system. Attenuation and bandwidth are the two most important transmission characteristics when the suitability of optical fiber for communication is analysed. The various attenuation mechanisms are linear scattering, non linear scattering, material absorption and fiber bends etc. The bandwidth determines the number of bits of information transmitted in a given time period and is largely limited by signal dispersion within the fiber.
58
Types of Fibers
According to the refractive index profile optical fibers can be divided into two categories namely Step index fibers and Graded index fibers which are described below.
59
The graded index fibers have decreasing core index n(r) with radial distance from a maximum value of n1 at the axis to a constant value n2 beyond the core radius a in the cladding as shown in figure8. The graded index fiber gives best results for multimode optical propagation for parabolic refractive index profile. Due to this special kind of refractive index profile multimode graded index fibers exhibit less intermodal dispersion than its counterpart i.e. multimode step index fibers.
60
It is notable that the optical carrier may be modulated by either analog or digital information signal. In digital optical fiber communication system the information is suitably encoded prior to the drive circuit stage of optical source. Similarly at the receiver end a decoder is used after amplifier and equalizer stage.
61
The main parts of the transmitter section are a source (either a LED or a LASER), efficient coupling means to couple the output power to the fiber, a modulation circuit and a level controller for LASERs. In present days, for longer repeater spacing, the use of single mode fibers and LASERs are seeming to be essential whereas the earlier transmitters operated within 0.8m to 0.9m wavelength range, used double hetero structure LASER or LED as optical sources. High coupling losses result from direct coupling of the source to optical fibers. For LASERs, there are two types of lenses being used for this purpose namely discrete lenses and integral lenses.
Drive Circuitry
These are the circuits used in the transmitters to switch a current in the range of ten to several hundred mili-amperes required for proper functioning of optical source. For LEDs there are drive circuits like common emitter saturating switch, low impedance, emitter coupled, trans-conductance drive circuits etc. On the other hand for LASERs, shunt drive circuits, bias control drive circuits, ECL compatible LASER drive, etc. are noticeable.
Receiver Section
It is clear that it includes Photo-detector, low noise front end amplifier, voltage amplifier and a decision making circuit to get the exact information signal back. High impedance amplifier and Transimpedance amplifier are the two popular configurations of front end amplifier, the design of which is very critical for sensible performance of the receiver. The two most common photo-detectors are p-in diodes and avalanche photodiodes. Quantum efficiency, responsivity and speed of response are the key parameters behind the decision of photo-detectors. The most important requirements of an optical receiver are sensitivity, bit rate transparency, bit pattern independence, dynamic range, acquisition time etc. As the noise contributed by receiver is higher than other elements in the system so, we must put a keen check on it.

Military applications Non-communication fiber optic: e.g. fiber sensors.
63
Internet
The Internet is not a program, not software, not hardware or a big system. It is a group of various cooperating computers worldwide interconnected by computer based on TCP\IP communication protocols. People use it to get information over a standard communication link. The hundreds or thousands or millions of computer network are connected to each other for exchanging the information which is based on the unique identity and set of procedures. Internet is a series of interconnected networks providing global link to information. GIAS: BSNL launched the Gateway Internet Access Service (GAIS) through dial up/leased/ISDN network. Users can access GAIS from 99 cities in India by this means.
Functions of Internet
The basic function of Internet can be summarized as under Interconnecting of computers to form a network. Interconnecting of computers to form a network of networks. To establish a communication link between two computers within as network. To provide alternate communication link among the networks, even if one network is not working. These are based on TCP/IP Protocols.
64
Therefore, it is clear that network hardware sends the packets to specified destination and network software reassembles of communications, the computer network performs the following functions-
A single module cannot handle the entire process. One that adopted as a standard is an open system interconnection (OSI) model.
65
Cellular is one of the fastest growing and most demanding telecommunication applications. Today, it represents a continuously increasing percentage of all new telephone subscriptions around the world. Currently there are more than 45 million subscribers in worldwide and nearly 50% of those subscribers are located in USA. It is forecasted that cellular system using a digital technology will become the universal method of telecommunications. By the year 2005, forecasters predict that there will be more than 100 million cellular subscribers worldwide.
Technical Aspects
WLL is based on CDMA technique and is entirely different from GSM. The system for WLL services can be divided in two following parts:BSC (Base Switching Centre):- It provides links between BTS & BSM; it consists of different processors, in BSNL it is of SUN Polaris of LG Company. In LG 1 BSC can have 48 BTS? In BSNL we have two types of BSC:-
I. ii.
V-5.2:- This type of BSC cannot switch by itself so it is dependent on local exchange / PSTN for CCS-7 / R2:- These types of BSC are totally automatic it doesnt depend on local exchange for
switching and keeping records of billing etc. BSNL uses this type of BSC for rural areas. its functions, it is complete in itself. BSNL uses this type of BSC for urban areas.
BTS (Base Transreceiver System):- As it is clear from its name it transmits as well as receive signal, it
66
BSM (Base Station Management):- It controls and manages the WLL services. It can troubleshoot the
problem; add new users as well as capable to block service given to user. It is basically a computer system, which manages the whole process of WLL service. In BSNL BSM are two UNIX based computer system.
Advantages of WLL
The Country wide induction of WLL underway of areas than are non-feasible for the normal network Helping relieves congestion of connections in the normal cable / wire based network in urban areas Limited the mobility without any airtime charges It has improved signal and reducing the interference Greater capacity than mobile Provides ease of operation, administration & maintenance at lower cost.
The telecommunication is the biggest factor in influencing the speed of life in the modern age. Today we can get connection with any corner of world through the push button of computer; with the small mobile phone we can send not only the messages but also the secret document. As we know that there is positive view behind any mention that it should be helpful in the development of society. But humans have diverted mentality some of them of positive view and some of them of negative view. Where use any invention for the welfare of society but some uses for the satisfaction their disturbed mentality and to earn more and more money whether it may be harmful for the society. They infringe the norms of society and their behavior is condemned as antisocial, immoral and sinful.
CDMA: - Where large number of transmission are combined on the same channel at the same time and
separated by the codes.
67
CDMA, a cellular technology originally known as IS-95, competes with GSM technology for dominance in the cellular world. There are now different variations, but the original CDMA is known as CdmaOne. Latest CDMA global subscriber & operators numbers As of December 2002, there were 120 million users worldwide, with 55 million of these in the USA. See other cellular technology in the world. We now have CDMA2000 and its variant like 1X EV, 1XEV-DO and MC 3X. They refer to variant of usage of a 1.25 MHz channel. 3X uses a 5 MHz channel. Wide band CDMA forms that the basis of UMTS 3G networks, developed originally by Qualcomm, high capacity and small cell radius, employing spread-spectrum technology and special coding scheme characterized by CDMA. The Telecommunication Industry Association (TIA) in 1993 adopted CDMA. May 2001 there were 35 million subscribers on cdmaOne system worldwide. Over 35 countries have either commercial or trial activity ongoing. There were already 43 WLL systems in 22 countries using cdmaOne technology. Enhancing todays data capabilities is the 1XRTT CDMA standard this next evolutionary step for cdmaOne operators will provide data rates up to 300 kbps, significant capacity increases as well as extended batteries life for handsets. Worldwide resources are being devoted to roll out third generation CDMA technology, including multicarrier (cdmaOne2000 1xMC and HDR in 1.25 MHz bandwidth and 3xMC in 5 MHz bandwidth) and direct spread (WCDMA in 5 MHz bandwidth). This first phase of cdmaOne2000 variously called 1XRTT, 3G1X or just plain 1X is designed to double current voce capacity and support always on data transmission speed 10 times faster than typically available today, some 153.6 kbps on both the forward and reverse links.

common European mobile telephone standard that would formulae the specifications for a panEuropean mobile cellular radio system operating at 900 MHz it is estimated that many countries outside of Europe will join the GSM partnership.
One of the important objectives of GSM group is to evolve a unified standard to provide seamless roaming across Europe. Another landmark decision taken by the group is to standardize a digital radio interface for the communication between the mobile handset and the radio transmitter / receiver. The design objectives of the GSM system can be briefly states as below: Excellent speech quality High security and privacy Low module terminal cost Low service and facilities cost Design of sleek and handled mobile terminals International roaming Wide range of services and facilities Ability to adopt to new and innovative features Narrowband ISDN compatibility Digital Radio High Spectral efficiency

such as NTT DoCoMo's Freedom of Mobile Multimedia Access (FOMA) and Time Division Synchronous Code Division Multiple Access (TD-SCDMA) used primarily in China.
The data speed of 3G is determined based on a combination of factors including the chip rate, channel structure, power control, and synchronization. An example of calculating the theoretical 3G data speed is as follows: W-CDMA assigned code 400-500 Kbps/code. 6 codes X 400 > 2Mbps (UMTS target for 3G data speed in fixed location) Actual data speeds will vary in accordance with several factors including: Number of users in cell/sector Distance of user from cell User is moving or stationary Network operator capacity and network optimization requirements
EV-DO Solutions
1xEV-DO is a data-only solution, supporting a theoretical data speed of up to 2.457 Mbps 1xEV-DV is a data and voice solution, supporting a theoretical data speed of up to 3.072 Mbps
FOMA has two operational modes, supporting a dedicated 64 Kbps connection or a 384 Kbps downlink/64 Kbps uplink best-effort connection. TD-SCDMA can operate in 1.6 MHz or 5 MHz mode for 2 Mbps or 6 Mbps respectively.
What is 3G?
3G is the short form for third-generation technology. It is one of the popular mobile phone standards. The services utilizing 3G provide the ability to transmit both voice data such as calls and nonvoice data such as instant messaging, email and video telephony at the same time. Japan was the first country to introduce 3G on a wide scale commercially. In 2005, almost 40 per cent of the subscribers in Japan used 3G services. On the technical front, 3G services are wide area cellular telephone networks unlike IEEE 802.11 networks, which are short range networks meant for Internet access. Now, 3G is being used to provide various services. You have to plug in 3G Data Card into your laptop and can get the fastest available connection, with mobile broadband speeds of up to 1.8 Mbps. Its neat, compact design makes it easy to use; you can easily swap it between laptops for use at work, home or on the move. Laptops have a PC Card slot (also known as a PCMCIA slot), or an Express Card slot. There is PCMCIA to Express Card Converter for using 3G broadband; you need 3G Data card, network SIM card, software, user guide.

Conclusion
Hence in the last I can say that taking training in such an organization proved to be very beneficial for me. I learnt quite a lot about electronic exchange, Internet, Land line, WLL, Mobile GSM & 3G, and the basis of processing Exchange. I also got firsthand knowledge of how a Telephone Exchange works. The first phase of training has proved to be quite fruitful. It provides an opportunity to encounter with such huge machines. The architecture of company has various units. They are linked and working of whole plant is controlled make the student realized that engineering is not just learning the structure description and working of various machines. But the greater part is planning proper management.
