The paperpresents the architecture of an ATM switching unit for broadband networks. Fundamental architectural requirements are considered and system solution is described to be used for early applications in field trials. The different entities of the network are explained in detail in addition to the mechanism which allow the implementation of the architecture to provide the features of future ATM networks and meet the requirements of National ATMprograms. 1.INlRODUCllON This paper describes the architecture of an ATM switching unit, taking the local exchange as an example. It proposes a set of subsystems to be used as building blocks during the definition of a specific configuration. The proposed system solution is limited in size and is intended for early field trials and National programs. 2. OVERALL ARCHITECTURE DESCRIPTlON AND CONCEPTS During the fmt introduction of broadband services in an ATM switching environment, the ATM switches will be required to: to increase the capacity of interconnected MAN networks. to provide switched broadband services (e.g. videotelephony, individual videoconferencing, high quality image retrieval, distribution services, ...). The proposed ATM architecture takes into account the fact that broadband service demand will be scattered over the country on a low density basis. The important components of such a network are: ATM Subscriber concentrators with a capacity of up to 150 subscribers. Concentration is done on a call per call basis onto a small number of highly loaded links to the ATM switching unit (see later). An ATM switching unit supporting about 3000 subscriirs. They perform the call processing functions for the broadband services. Subscriber concentrators can be local or remote to the ATh4 switching unit. When remote, they are linked to the ASU with standard transmission equipment. ?b offer N-ISDN services and interworking with N-ISDN, each broadband exchange is connected to an E10612 local exchange which is in charge of the N-ISDN call handling. When no E10/S12 exchange is available, transparent 2Mb/s1.5Mb/s channels can be made available between the customer narrowband equipment and the NE3 local exchange through the broadband exchange.

The current telecom network development with new services, new technologies, deregulation, etc., is evolving towards a more and more complex network with intricate traffic routing principles. With complexity follows increasing network handling costs. The ideal metropolitan network structure is strongly dependent on these increasing handling costs, and the application of new technologies. A number of network studies, where investments and handling costs are considered simultaneously, have been performed and arepresented in this paper. As a result of our analysis we propose the following ideal network structure: For the switched traffic, only tandem routing should be applied, ie, no direct routes between local exchanges. All switched trafflc is carried through tandem exchanges. For an effective handling of the transport resources, in particular non switched circuits, digital crossconnect systems are utilized. We also recommend a gradual change of the existing alternative routing strategy with direct routes, towards a true hub network architecture, applying tandem routing.

Since divestiture from AT&T in 1984, sustaining high quality software and services is a major challenge for the former Bell companies. In total these companies now spend over one billion dollars on software purchases annually. Increasing software control ofthe telecommunications network contributes greatly to the high level of software procurement. Poor software qualify could adversely affect not only operations, cost and revenue, but the very effectiveness of the services provided to the public. In 1984, Bellcore Software Quality Assurance Engineering (SQAE) was established to help Bellcore Client Companies (BCCs) ensure that the software they purchase conforms to their requirements. This paper presents the Bellcore SQAE approach particularly the software surveillance program. The specific components of surveillance are analysis of the vendor's quality program; quality measurements; using measurement results to control and improve production; and field site visits to ensure ongoing quality. Several surveillance tools are described, including QualityProgram Specifications, Software Quality Measurements, Reliability and QualityAcceptance Criteria, and fault Density Measurements. The ultimate goal of the Bellcore program is to develop a cooperative relationship between the buyer's software survellance program and the supplier's own quality program. Partnership enhances the supplier's motivation toward continuous improvement thereby increasing the level of quality that customers can expect.

As the telecommunication networks grow more complex and difficult to manage, transport network elements such as digital cross-connect systems and SDH based products can provide attractive network solutions. The prime target for these systems is to provide more efficient network solutions in terms of cost, operations and maintainability. This paper considers digital cross-connect systems in their near time application areas such as leased lines and data networks, network administration and service provisioning, network redundancy and maintenance. Also cost comparisons to conventional approaches are made. For example, a digital cross-connect system solution for network protection switching reduces the needfor network spare capacity by a factor of 3 as compared to regular 1:1 protection switches. Replacing back-to-back multiplexer arrangements with DCCs also leads to substantial cost savings in the order of 10-50 %. Apart from viewing the network topics, this paper also presents some aspects of DCC implementation.

As the ATM technique matures several solutions have been proposed for the integration of video codecs in the broadband ISDN. At present, two approaches can be distinguished The first aims at the integration of video codecs, that were developedfor synchronous networks, in the ATM network For these codecs, adoptors are developed that provide the necessary circuit emulation over the ATM network, with the required quality. In the paper special attention is paid to synchronization, dejittering and cell loss protection issues. The second scenario is bared on a new generation of video codecs that a n being developed especially for the ATM network These codecs take full advantage of the flexibility offered by the ATM network, and allow cell loss concealment techniques to be used. In the paper Variable Bit Rate video coding and the associated bandwidrh allocation and policing algorithms are discussed. Special features such as user selectable picture quality are shown Cell loss detection and concealment techniques are discussed.

In recent years, the building blocks of modern telecom munication systems have become much more complew in structure and operation. At the same time their design is based on increasingly reliable components and an the availability of sophisticated communication networks like CCITT n. 7 and X25. As a consequence, the operation and maintenance of today's systems requires less but more highly qualified personnel, and many network operators are evolving towards the centralization and automation of O&M functions, following the internationally defined Telecommunication Management Network (TMN) that allows the introduction of now functions and the improvement of existing ones.

As the business goals that network service providers (NSPs) seek to achieve evolve so must the tools and technologies em ployed to achieve those goals. The NSPs'primary business goal is simple: to improve the response, in the dimensions ofboth time and quality, to customers' needs. This goal has been and is driving NSPs to seek develop, verify, and implement changes to their existing telecommunications network that will reduce significantly the interval from conception to implementation of new or modified services. To reach this goal, a major focus is currently the Intelligent Network (IN). The term 'intelligent network' stems from the application of database technology to provide flexible network architectures in terms of the routing, terminating, and intermediate call processing functions that can be applied to customer communications. Network service creation is a critical aspect of IN that represents the ultimate value of evolution to an intelligent network architecture. Simply put, service creation is the ability for network services to be developed by multiple vendors, new and old, in less time and at less cost than can be accomplished today. This paper presents a view of the shortcomings of today's service creation process and derives a list of capabilities needed by service providers. A service creation process is offered that addresses these shortcomings and describes the applicable oper ating environmenisfor services and the support process for their development. The impacts on vendors and network service providers are also discussed.
