7.2IBS/SMS OPERATION WITH 2048KBPS CONTINUOUS DATA

7.2.1Change, Tx/Rx, Baseband, Continuous, 2048k G.732 Menu (IBS)

2048kbps IBS/SMS operation is a special case, in which there are two modes of operation. These modes are confusingly referred to as 1920/1984kbps and 2048kbps mode in the IBS/SMS service definitions, but both operate with a 2048kbps terrestrial data rate !

Change, Tx/Rx, Baseband, Continuous, 2048k G.732 Menu

NORMAL

The content of the 2048kbps data is ignored (ie it can be unframed), and the

 

normal 6.7% overhead is added bringing the rate to 2184.53kbps. This is referred

 

to as 2048kbps operation in the service definitions. If NORMAL is selected then

 

the dialogue returns to that covered in the main section of the handbook.

G.732

The data is G.732 formatted data, ie it already contains a terrestrial G.732 frame

 

comprising of 32 Timeslots, TS0 to TS31. Although the aggregate data is

 

2048kbps, as only 30 or 31 timeslots are available for data (TS0 is framing and

 

TS16 may be signalling) the user data rate is 1920 or 1984kbps (30 or 31 x

 

64kbps). This is referred to as 1920kbps or 1984kbps operation in the service

 

definitions, but the data rate at the terrestrial port is actually 2048kbps !

 

When selected instead of the unit inserting extra IBS/SMS framing on to the data

 

(ie +6.7%), it uses the similar G.732 framing already present (+0%). Some

 

locations in the G.732 framing are changed over satellite (such as TS0 Odd bit

 

4 which is used by the IBS/SMS TS32 multiframe word) and so it is not entirely

 

transparent to all the overhead. Parts of the overhead unused for frame

 

alignment, and also not `borrowed` by IBS/SMS features may be set to be either

 

Transparent or Fixed High. This is controlled under Change, User-Opt,

 

Operation, Terr/Sat, G.732 Spares.

If G.732 mode is selected the operator is then prompted with:

Channel Assoc Sig (CAS) in TS16: [?]

1=Normal (No CAS) 2=CAS

Change, Tx/Rx, Baseband, Cont', 2048k IBS, G.732 CAS Menu

Channel Associated Signalling (CAS) is described in para 10.2 "Signalling Systems Introduction: CCS, CAS & RBS" on page 210 if required.

NORMAL

 

(NO CAS)

TS16 does not contain CAS (ie a terrestrial CAS multiframe and `abcd` signalling

 

nibbles for each timeslot). It is treated as a normal data timeslot, and this

 

corresponds to modes defined as 1984kbps in the service definitions.

CAS

This feature is only available if the Extended D/I feature is available (standard on

 

P300-TCM). TS16 contains CAS and by implication a terrestrial multiframe in

 

order to carry the CAS (this corresponds to modes defined as 1920kbps in the

 

service definitions). If selected, the terrestrial multiframe will be acquired, and

 

CAS removed from/replaced into the Drop/Insert bearer. The CAS will be

 

conveyed transparently from end to end of the link within IBS (or Custom IBS)

 

overheads.
