Real-Time vs. Best-Effort Traffic

• Real-time traffic needs guaranteed delay and


timing.
• IP networks are best-effort with no guarantees of
delivery, delay, or timing.
• Solution is quality of service end-to-end.

2-Wire to 4-Wire Conversion and Echo

• Echo is due to a
reflection.
• Impedance
mismatch at the
2-wire to 4-wire
hybrid is the
most common
reason for echo.

IP Telephony v1.0 © 2005 Cisco Systems, Inc. All rights reserved. Cisco Public 52
Echo Is Always Present

• Echo as a
problem is a
function of the
echo delay and
the loudness
of the echo.

Analog-to-Digital Voice Encoding

IP Telephony v1.0 © 2005 Cisco Systems, Inc. All rights reserved. Cisco Public 56
Digitizing Analog Signals

1. Sample the analog signal regularly.


2. Quantize the sample.
3. Encode the value into a binary expression.
4. Compress the samples to reduce bandwidth,
optional step.

IP Telephony v1.0 © 2005 Cisco Systems, Inc. All rights reserved. Cisco Public 57
Basic Voice Encoding:
Converting Digital to Analog

1. Decompress the samples, if compressed.


2. Decode the samples into voltage amplitudes,
rebuilding the PAM signal.
3. Filter the signal to remove any noise.

Example: Waveform Compression
• PCM
Waveform coding scheme
• ADPCM
Waveform coding scheme
Adaptive: automatic companding
Differential: encode changes between
samples only
• ITU standards:
G.711 rate: 64 kbps = (2 * 4 kHz) * 8 bits/sample
G.726 rate: 32 kbps = (2 * 4 kHz) * 4 bits/sample
G.726 rate: 24 kbps = (2 * 4 kHz) * 3 bits/sample
G.726 rate: 16 kbps = (2 * 4 kHz) * 2 bits/sample
