Integrated Services Digital Network (ISDN)

Developed by ITU-T in 1976 Set of protocols that combines digital telephony and data transport services. The whole idea is to digitize the telephone network to permit the transmission of audio, video and text over existing telephone lines. The goal is to form a WAN that provides universal end-to-end connectivity over digital media.

ISDN Services
Bearer services provide the means to transfer information (voice, data, video) between users without the network manipulating the content of that information. Belongs to the first 3 layers of the OSI model.

Teleservices the network my change or process the contents of the data. - correspond to layers 4-7 of the OSI model - rely on the facilities of bearer services
Supplementary services provide additional functionality to the bearer services and teleservices.

Integrated Digital Network (IDN)


A combination of networks available for different purposes. Access to these networks is by digital pipes digital pipes time-multiplexed channels sharing very-high-speed paths.

Integrated Services Digital Network (ISDN)

ISDN incorporates all communication connections in a home or building into a single interface With ISDN all customer services will become digital rather than analog.

Subscriber Access to the ISDN


Subscriber loops organized into multiple channels of different sizes B channel
basic user channel Can carry any type of digital info in Full-duplex mode Carries transmissions end-to-end

Channel

Data Rates (Kbps)

Bearer (B)
Data (D) Hybrid (H)

64
16, 64 384 (H0), 1536(H11), 1920(H12)

D channel
Primary function is to carry control signaling for the B channel Acts like an operator between the user and the network at the network layer
McGraw-Hill

H Channels - For high data rate applications


such as video, teleconferencing and so on

The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc., 2001

Two Types of Digital Subscriber Loops


Basic rate interface (BRI) Primary rate interface (PRI)
Each type is suited to a different level of customer needs Both include one D channel and some number of either B or H channels

Basic Rate Interface (BRI)


Designed to meet the needs of residential and small-office customers
The same twisted pair local loop that delivers analog transmission can be used to handle digital transmission

Primary Rate Interface (PRI)


Other channel combinations: 3H0 + D 4H0 + D H12 + D

PRI was designed to be compatible with existing T-1 lines In Europe, the PRI includes 30 B channels and 2 D channels = capacity of 2.048 Mbps the capacity of E-1 line

Functional Grouping
Defines the function of each type of equipment

NT network termination TE terminal equipment NT1


Controls the physical & electrical termination of the ISDN at the users premises Connects the users internal system to the digital subscriber loop Organizes the data stream s from a connected subscriber into frames that can be sent over the digital pipe Translates the frames received from the network into a format usable by the subscribers devices.
McGraw-Hill The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc., 2001

NT2 ( ex. Digital PBX, LAN)


Performs functions at the physical (multiplexing), data link (flow control), network layers (packetizing) of the OSI model Provides intermediate signal processing between the data-generating devices and an NT1 Used primarily to interface between a multiuser system and an NT1 in a PRI.

McGraw-Hill

The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc., 2001

TE1 same thing as DTE


Any device that supports the ISDN standards Ex. Digital telephones,integrated voice/data terminals

TE2 Any non-ISDN device


Ex. Terminal workstation, regular telephone Can be used with the help of Terminal Adapter (TA)

B-ISDN Services
Broadband ISDN based on a change from metal cable to fiber optic cable at all levels of telecommunications

Interactive services those that require two-way exchanges between either 2 subscribers or between a subscriber & a service provider
- conversational real time exchanges such as telephone calls - messaging store & forward exchanges such as voice mail - retrieval retrieve info from a central office

B-ISDN Services

Distributive services unidirectional services sent from a provider to subscribers, broadcast to the user
- without user control user choice is limited to whether or not to receive the service at all - with user control allow the user a choice of times during which to receive them
