ECE DEPTT. SUBMITTED BY, PRAKASH KUMAR ARYA ROLL NO. 1608214 GROUP:- A BRANCH:- ECE YEAR:- 3rd Yr. TRAINING REPORT ON TELECOMMUNICATIONJIND INSTITUTE OF ENGG. & TECH. INTRODUCTION TO BSNLBSNL: Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited was formed in year 2000 and took over the serviceproviders role from DoT. Today, BSNL has a customer base of over 9 crore and is the fourthlargest integrated telecom operator in the country. BSNL is the market leader in Broadband,landline and national transmission network. BSNL is also the only operator covering over 5lakh village with telecom connectivity. Area of operation of BSNL is all India except Delhi &Mumbai.INTRODUCTIONGovernments also need to intervene for ensuring fair competition and the best value for money for its citizens.This handouts gives exposure on the Telecom Environment in India and also dwells on the role of international bodies in standardizing and promoting Telecom Growth in the world.

Institutional FrameworkIt is defined as the systems of formal laws, regulations, and procedures, and informal conventions, customs, and norms, that broaden, mold, and restrain socio-economic activity and behaviour.country has been divided into units called Circles, Metro Districts, Secondary Switching Areas (SSA), Long Distance Charging Area (LDCA) and Short Distance Charging Area (SDCA).

Major changes in Telecommunications in India

Its began in the 1980s.The initial phase of telecom reforms began in 1984 with the creation of Center for Department of Telematics (C-DOT) for developing indigenous technologies and private manufacturing of customer premise equipment.Soon after, the Mahanagar Telephone Nigam Limited (MTNL) and Videsh Sanchar Nigam Limited (VSNL) were set up in 1986.

Major changes in Telecommunications in IndiaThe Indian telecom sector was setting up of an independent regulatory body in 1997 the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI), to assure investors that the sector would be regulated in a balanced and fair manner.In 2000, DoT corporatized its services wing and created Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited.

Major changes in Telecommunications in India

With the TRAI Act of 2000 that aimed at restoring functional clarity and improving regulatory quality and a separate disputes settlement body was set up called Telecom Disputes Settlement and Appellate Tribunal (TDSAT) to fairly adjudicate any dispute between licensor and licensee, between service provider, between service provider and a group of consumers.

Major changes in Telecommunications in IndiaIn October 2003, Unified Access Service Licenses regime for basic and cellular services was introduced. This regime enabled services providers to offer fixed and mobile services under one license.

Indian telecom has seen unprecedented customer growth crossing 600 million connections. India is the fourth largest telecom market in Asia after China, Japan and South Korea.

The Indian telecom network is the eighth largest in the world and the second largest among emerging economies.

TELECOMMUNICATION

INTRODUCTION

Computer network A communications, data exchange, and resource-sharing system created by linking two or more computers and establishing standards, or protocols, so that they can work togetherTelecommunication system - Enable the transmission of data over public or private networks (voice, data, graphics, video)

TELECOMMUNICATIONS-VOICEVoice Communications Require:- 1. A source device 2. A switching system 3. A data channel 4. A destination device The line remains open for the duration of the callRequires a dedicated connection Telecommunications - data

Data communications data trafficData traffic on the Internet doubles every 100 days.Does not grab the line during transmissionUses packet switching technology

Ways to describe a networkType of traffic (voice or data)Type of signal (analog or digital)Type of transmission mode (Simplex)Geographic area covered (LAN, WAN...)Architecture - peer-to-peer, client/serverPhysical topology (Bus, Star)Protocols - Ethernet, Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)Transmission medium (guided or unguided)

Types of SignalsAnalogContinuous sine wave over a certain frequency rangepositive voltage = 1negative voltage = 0DigitalDiscrete burst of electric energyon = 1off = 0Most phone lines use analog signaling

Converting Signals Computers can only process digital signals

If data is transmitted using analog signaling over a phone line, it must be converted into a digital signal before the computer can process it

Converting Signals

ModemsModulation - converting digital signals into analog form

DEModulation - converting analog signals back into digital form

Transmission ModesPerformance can be measured by the mode of the connection.Simplex transmission, messages can be carried in only one direction.Half-duplex, messages can be carried in both directions just not simultaneously.Full-duplex, messages can be carried in both directions simultaneously.

LOGICAL TOPOLOGIES (protocols)Protocol - a standard that specifies the format of data as well as the rules to be followed during transmission

A communication protocol is essentially a set of codes or conventions used for facilitating communications between hardware and software.

Interoperability - the capability of two or more computer systems to share data and resources, even though they are made by different manufacturers

Protocol how it workscommon set of rules that allow different components in a network to talk to each other handshaking protocolidentify each devicesecure attention of other device transmission protocol verify correct receipt of messagesend re-transmit message if necessaryrecover error and re-transmit Some ProtocolsEthernet - a physical and data layer technology for LAN networkingIP or Internet Protocol directs packets on the Internet.

TCP or Transmission control protocol puts the packets in their correct sequence.

HTTP or hyper text transfer protocol is used to transmit web pages over the Internet.

Mobile IP provides IP routing for mobile devices.

Voice over IP (VoIP) - uses TCP/IP technology to transmit voice calls over long-distance telephone lines

Network 1Network 2Network 3System Fibre used in Telecom & Their Characteristics Brief History In 1880, Alexander Graham Bell patented an optical telephone system, which he called the Photophone. By 1970 Corning Glass invented fiber-optic wire or "optical waveguide fibers" which was capable of carrying 65,000 times more information than copper wire. Prof. Kao was awarded half of the 2009 Nobel Prize in Physics for "groundbreaking achievements concerning the transmission of light in fibers for optical communication".Today more than 80 percent of the world's long-distance voice and data traffic is carried over optical-fiber cables

Fiber-Optic ApplicationsFIBRE OPTICS: The use and demand for optical fiber has grown tremendously and optical-fiber applications are numerousTelecommunication applications are widespread, ranging from global networks to desktop computers. These involve the transmission of voice, data, or video over distances of less than a meter to hundreds of kilometers, using one of a few standard fiber designs in one ofseveral cable designs

ADVANTAGES OF FIBRE OPTICS SPEED: Fiber optic networks operate at high speeds - up into the gigabitsBANDWIDTH: Large carrying capacityDISTANCE: Signals can be transmitted further without needing to be "refreshed" or strengthened.RESISTANCE: Greater resistance to electromagnetic noise such as radios, motors or other nearby cables.MAINTENANCE: Fiber optic cables costs much less to maintain.

Fiber Optic System Information is Encoded into Electrical Signals. Electrical Signals are Converted into light Signals. Light Travels Down the Fiber. A Detector Changes the Light Signals into Electrical Signals. Electrical Signals are Decoded into Information.Inexpensive light sources available. Repeater spacing increases along with operating speeds because low loss Fibres are used at high data rates.

Principle of Operation - Theory Total Internal ReflectionThe Reflection that Occurs when a Light Ray Travelling in One Material Hits a Different Material and Reflects Back into the Original Material without any Loss of LightSpeed of light is actually the velocity of electromagnetic energy in vacuum such as space. Light travels at slower velocities in other materials such as glass. Light travelling from one material to another changes speed, which results in light changing its direction of travel. This deflection of light is called Refraction

PROPAGATION OF LIGHT THROUGH FIBRE The optical fibre has two concentric layers called the core and the cladding. The inner core is the light carrying part. The surrounding cladding provides the difference refractive index that allows total internal reflection of light through the core. The index of the cladding is less than 1%, lower than that of the core. Most fibres have an additional coating around the cladding. This buffer coating is a shock absorber and has no optical properties affecting the propagation of light within the fibre.Specific characteristics of light depends onThe size of the fibre. The composition of the fibre. The light injected into the fibre.

.

Diameters of the core and cladding

FIBRE TYPES Step Index Graded IndexBy this classification there are three types of fibres : Multimode Step Index fibre (Step Index fibre)Multimode graded Index fibre (Graded Index fibre)Single- Mode Step Index fibre (Single Mode Fibre)

STEP-INDEX MULTIMODE FIBER large core, up to 100 microns in diameter. As a result, some of the light rays that make up the digital pulse may travel a direct route, whereas others zigzag as they bounce off the cladding. These alternative pathways cause the different groupings of light rays, referred to as modes, to arrive separately at a receiving point. The pulse, an aggregate of different modes, begins to spread out, losing its well-defined shape.

GRADED-INDEX MULTIMODE FIBERContains a core in which the refractive index diminishes gradually from the center axis out toward the cladding. The higher refractive index at the center makes the light rays moving down the axis advance more slowly than those near the claddingAlso, rather than zigzagging off the cladding, light in the core curves helically because of the graded index, reducing its travel distance.

GRADED-INDEX MULTIMODE FIBERThe shortened path and the higher speed allow light at the periphery to arrive at a receiver at about the same time as the slow but straight rays in the core axis. The result: a digital pulse suffers less dispersion.

SINGLE-MODE FIBER has a narrow core (eight microns or less), and the index of refraction between the core and the cladding changes less than it does for multimode fibers. Light thus travels parallel to the axis, creating little pulse dispersion. Telephone and cable television networks install millions of kilometers of this fiber every year

BROADBAND APPLICATIONSVARIOUS ACCESS TECHNOLOGIESDSL on copper loopOptical Fiber TechnologiesCable TV Network Satellite Media Terrestrial WirelessFuture TechnologiesWireline Broadband Access Technologies In the domain of wide area network access, there are numerous wireline technology options that are presently competing for market share and acceptance These technology options originate from both the WAN and LAN environments and include e.g. ISDN, ATM, switched Ethernet Frame Relay, several technologies for data transmission over coaxial (CATV) cable, and the family of Digital Subscriber Line technologies.

91Digital Subscriber Lines (DSL) on copper loopDSL has proved to be an important technology for provisioning of Broadband services through the copper loop. The owners of copper loop have to be given a high priority because their role is critical as key drivers in the Broadband service market using DSL.BSNL and MTNL as well as other access providers are expected to aggressively use their copper loop infrastructure for providing Broadband services through this technologyOPTICAL FIBRE TECHNOLOGIESIt provides nearly unlimited bandwidth potential and is steadily replacing copper network specially in intra-city backbone networks. This is being deployed in commercial buildings and complexes and some metros / big cities having high-density potential broadband subscribers.The fiber based models are future proof as they are able to provide huge amounts of bandwidth in the last mile as well as provide a true IP and converged network that can deliver high quality voice, data and video Cable TV NetworkCable TV network can be used as franchisee network of the service provider for provisioning Broadband services.The cable network was designed to deliver TV signals in one direction from the Head-End to the subscribers homesOperators had to upgrade the cable network so that signals could flow in both directionsOne spectrum is used for the signals that move from the Head-End towards the cable subscriber
