Overview
Written by a Bellcore telecommunications expert with over 27 years of experience, this comprehensive and generously illustrated book is the first ever to bring digital switching system design, hardware and software reliability, and maintenance under one cover. It provides telecommunications design engineers, service providers, and reliability and software engineers everything needed to understand and analyze digital switches: full coverage of all digital switching systems fundamentals and architectural issues, advanced Markov models and the use of sensitivity analysis to help assess digital switching system reliability, state-of-the-art analysis of telephony traffic signal transfer points (STPs), detailed description of digital switching system software, and quality analysis techniques, and digital switching system maintenance, and analysis of networked switching systems. In addition, the book develops a generic digital switching system model that enables even the most inexperienced telecommunications engineers to quickly comprehend the basic architecture and functionally of digital switching systems.Editorials

Opaque to Internet end users<-->until they encounter problems with their service<-->is the issue of the reliability of digital switching systems. For telecommunications design engineers, service providers, and software engineers familiar with the basics of telephony, Ali (senior engineer, Bell Communications Research; Piscataway, NJ) tours switching system fundamentals (including the architecture of networked systems), system software and quality analysis tools (e.g. sensitivity analysis), reliability modeling techniques (e.g. advanced Markov models), and maintenance (firmware and software). Also discusses the major DSSs in the North American network, and his own generic model in the context of up-and-coming trends. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.Book Details
