The RADIO_RSL_LOW
The RADIO_RSL_LOW is an alarm indicating that the radio receive power is very low. This alarm is
reported if the detected receive power is equal to or lower than the lower threshold of the ODU (The
upper threshold is –80 dBm for the 112 MHz channel bandwidth and –90 dBm for the other channel
bandwidths).
The DCN provides communication channels for centrally managed NEs to remotely
manage and maintain NEs. all networks used for data communication can be called
DCN.
DCN is data communication network used for network management in the transmission
network domain.
External DCN
An external DCN is a local area network (LAN) or a wide area network (WAN) and uses
the Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) for communication. It
provides communication between NMSs and between an NMS and GNEs. The details
are as follows:
Communication between NMSs - consists of communication between the NMS server
and the operations support system (OSS), communication between the NMS server and
its clients and communication between the primary and secondary sites in a high
availability (HA) system. The communication between NMSs can only be implemented
using the TCP/IP protocol;
Communication between an NMS and GNEs - the NMS and GNEs may be located on
different floors of a building, in different buildings, or even in different cities. Hence, an
external DCN that is comprised of data communication devices, such as LAN switches
and routers, must be deployed to provide management connectivity between the NMS
and GNEs. This type of communication can be implemented using the TCP/IP protocol.
Internal DCN
An internal DCN provides communication between NEs using the HWECC or TCP/IP
protocol. The protocol packets are transmitted over optical supervisory channels
(OSCs) or electric supervisory channels (ESCs). Ports and channels that can transmit
network management messages on an internal DCN:
Inband DCN
Inband DCN is a DCN networking mode that uses a portion of service bandwidths for
data communication. For example, the equipment uses a portion of the Ethernet service
bandwidths at FE, GE or 10GE ports or a portion of the WDM service bandwidths at
WDM ports to transmit network management messages.
Outband DCN
Outband DCN is a DCN networking mode that does not use service bandwidths for data
communication. Outband DCN allows equipment to use data communications channel
(DCC) bytes in SDH frames, general communication channel (GCC) bytes in OTN
frames, or NMS port or NE cascade port to transmit network management messages.
ASON belongs to the control plane and also has in-band and out-of-band channels.
Inband - overhead bytes are used, for example, D1-D3 is used for the NMS and D4-
D12 is used for the ASON. In fact, outband DCN is used.
Outband - uses independent network cables to connect NEs.
SUMMARY
Below is one chart that summarizes the DCN, DCC and ECC
o The way in which data is transmitted from one device to another device is known
as transmission mode.
o The transmission mode is also known as the communication mode.
o Each communication channel has a direction associated with it, and transmission
media provide the direction. Therefore, the transmission mode is also known as a
directional mode.
o The transmission mode is defined in the physical layer.
o Simplex mode
o Half-duplex mode
o Full-duplex mode
Simplex mode
o In Simplex mode, the communication is unidirectional, i.e., the data flow in one
direction.
o A device can only send the data but cannot receive it or it can receive the data
but cannot send the data.
o This transmission mode is not very popular as mainly communications require the
two-way exchange of data. The simplex mode is used in the business field as in
sales that do not require any corresponding reply.
o The radio station is a simplex channel as it transmits the signal to the listeners
but never allows them to transmit back.
o Keyboard and Monitor are the examples of the simplex mode as a keyboard can
only accept the data from the user and monitor can only be used to display the
data on the screen.
o The main advantage of the simplex mode is that the full capacity of the
communication channel can be utilized during transmission.
o In simplex mode, the station can utilize the entire bandwidth of the
communication channel, so that more data can be transmitted at a time.
o In a Half-duplex channel, direction can be reversed, i.e., the station can transmit
and receive the data as well.
o Messages flow in both the directions, but not at the same time.
o The entire bandwidth of the communication channel is utilized in one direction at
a time.
o In half-duplex mode, it is possible to perform the error detection, and if any error
occurs, then the receiver requests the sender to retransmit the data.
o A Walkie-talkie is an example of the Half-duplex mode. In Walkie-talkie, one
party speaks, and another party listens. After a pause, the other speaks and first
party listens. Speaking simultaneously will create the distorted sound which
cannot be understood.
o In half-duplex mode, both the devices can send and receive the data and also can
utilize the entire bandwidth of the communication channel during the
transmission of data.
o In half-duplex mode, when one device is sending the data, then another has to
wait, this causes the delay in sending the data at the right time.
Full-duplex mode
o In Full duplex mode, the communication is bi-directional, i.e., the data flow in
both the directions.
o Both the stations can send and receive the message simultaneously.
o Full-duplex mode has two simplex channels. One channel has traffic moving in
one direction, and another channel has traffic flowing in the opposite direction.
o The Full-duplex mode is the fastest mode of communication between devices.
o The most common example of the full-duplex mode is a telephone network.
When two people are communicating with each other by a telephone line, both
can talk and listen at the same time.
o Both the stations can send and receive the data at the same time.
o If there is no dedicated path exists between the devices, then the capacity of the
communication channel is divided into two parts.

(IMS)
IP Multimedia Subsystem or IMS is a standards-based architectural framework
for delivering multimedia communications services such as voice, video and text
messaging over IP networks. The IMS specifications were originally created by
the 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) to standardize the implementation
of these services on next-generation mobile networks.
The control layer, often referred to as the IMS core, is the cornerstone of the
architecture responsible for regulating communications flows. The main
functional elements of the control layer include:
Many IMS functions are further deconstructed into distinct functional elements.
For example, the CSCF function encompasses three discrete roles: Serving-
CSCF (C-CSCF), Interrogating-CSCF (I-CSCF), and Proxy-CSCF (P-CSCF).
