INTRODUCTION

In the field of telecommunications, telephony is taking on an increasingly important role.

more prominent, responding to the model of globalization and personal communication without borders

linked to economic and social development guidelines. Switching allows for a

connection between different nodes to achieve an appropriate path to connect two users from

a telecommunications network through orders issued from the network control. Likewise, it

it makes necessary the emergence of a method that allows users and switches to connect.

agreement to establish and release communications, since the human interface of the

operators are suppressed, making it impossible to use language, thus giving way to switching

automatic. All of this facilitated the increase in capacity in the network, in terms of the number of

subscribers, quickly and orderly. With its growth, the links between exchanges

became increasingly necessary, which led to the emergence of techniques that

allow sharing a single conductor among multiple communications, thereby reducing this

shape the cost in transmission media.


Switching

Switching consists of establishing a communication system between two

points, a sender and a receiver through transmission equipment or nodes, that is, that with the

Switching process we can deliver a signal from a source port to a

destination port.

2. Theoretical Bases of Switching

Subscriber: A person or entity subscribed to a telecommunications service.

Telephone network: It is composed of telephone exchanges that manage the lines and

subscriber circuits, and the central offices are connected by links.

Telephone exchange: In the field of telecommunications, in a broad sense, a

used by a telecommunications operating company where the equipment is housed

telephone.

Links: They are the circuits that allow connecting the subscriber line of a central with

its corresponding one in another exchange within the telephone network.

3. Switching by Selectors

The historical development of telephone switching began with the first systems.

used where they were operated by people, going through complex systems of level

electromagnetic, up to the latest created by man for switching, in the

what has been seen is the great contribution of digital electronic systems in aspects such as

efficiency of call development and switching.


Switching involves the study and establishment of a communication system

between the starting point (Transmitter) and the endpoint (Receiver) through equipment or nodes

of transmission. That is to say, with the switching process we can deliver a signal

from an origin port to the destination port. Switching by selectors presents a

selection of an input time interval, where the channels are written in a cyclical manner

in the data memory, in this way for selecting a time interval for output

where the data is stored according to the marked number.

The selector is a switching device used in the distribution stages and

expansion of the connection network of rotary systems. It is an input and output mechanism.

that connects one of the outputs to the input. The selector is, therefore, a small stage of

expansion in itself, in this way, acts in the stages of distribution where, through

With proper wiring, the number of inputs and outputs of the stage can be balanced.

An example of selector switching is the Strowger Switch, which consists of

a 100-line switch, known as step by step, and it is the first system

of automatic switching used on a massive scale. The basic idea of this switch is based

in the following elements:

Unique selector: A metal arm moves across a contact bank

arranged in a circle, where each contact connects to an output channel.


Selectors with two degrees of movement (Vertical and Circular): the different

input circuits are grouped in an arc, which in turn is part of a stack, by

what we will have different levels of height.

The following figure shows a simplified diagram for a hypothetical case of a

single internal line.

The operation of the central unit is directly governed by the user through the

dialing the destination number, which causes control over the selectors of the successive ones

stages.

4. Switching by Matrices

The square matrix crossbar switch is the simplest solution to the problem of

interconnect N inputs with N outputs. This solution offers total accessibility, as from
any input can select any output, and it does not present internal blocking, since

Each input-output pair has a crossing point, with the process of the stages being S.

On the other hand, the number of crossing points in a crossbar switch with N inputs and

In outputs it is NxN, that is, the number of crossing points (M) increases in proportion to the square.

of the number of entries, reaching solutions that are too costly for high values of N or

not implementable.

Just like any physical path through the connection network can be shared by

various distinct communications simultaneously, the process of making the switching

it can specify, in general, two operations:

A physical transfer from one multiplexer to another or a spatial switching operation,

performed by the space switches (or S stages). In these stages, the transfer of

bits are instantaneous, maintaining the channel time interval that had been set.

assigned when transferring bits from one multiplexer to another.

A storage of the sample in memory for a time shorter than that of

duration of a plot or operation of time switching, carried out by the

temporary switches (or T stages). In this case, the aim is that

I modified the time interval of the channel that had been assigned to the sample. By

Thus, time switching is not instantaneous, as it presupposes storage in


memory, and causes digital connection networks to introduce a delay in the signals

due to the switching.

There are different switching matrices; these are:

Analog switching matrices or Cross-Point. Possibility of expansion:

8 x 4 Analog Switch Array: MT8806

8 x 8 Analog Switch Array: MT8808, MT8809

8 x 12 Analog Switch Array: MT8812, MT8814 and MT8815

8 x 16 Analog Switch Array: MT8816

Digital commutation matrices:

TDM with integrated PLL

2K channel TDM switch with Stratum 3 / 4e: ZL50018, ZL50019, ZL50021, ZL50022

Switching matrices are used to implement the technique known as

spatial switching. This connects and disconnects physical contacts when a connection is

call time
5. Spatial Switching

It consists of a physical transfer from one multiplex to another; the transfer of bits is

These are the main techniques used for spatial switching.

Spatial switching consists of assigning a few paths to many.

6. Digital Switching

In the telecommunications context, it refers to the establishment of connections through a

switching center or telephone exchange through operations with digitized signals, is

to say, without converting them to their original analog form. The data signals are usually in

digital form (except when converted to analog through a modem), therefore, the

The term "digital switching" is rarely used in relation to data because signals

they remain digital even if they can be switched based on a switched circuit.

It is also said that digital switching is a temporal switching, for which

Telephonic signals must be digitized using PCM techniques (Pulse Code Modulation)

encoded). Therefore, it switches digital signals; they are the same as the analog ones but

processed and converted to a bit stream using PCM.

It consists of transferring the bits from a channel that is within a frame to another.

Canal situated in another plot. The switching carried out is double (spatial and temporal).

8. Types of digital switching

Type S (Spatial):

Type T (Temporal):

Allows transferring any PCM channel from an input frame to any interval

of time in an output plot.

Switch: Performs switching between 64Kbps circuits, multiplexed in the

telephone network exchanges, usually 32 channel PCM channels that are

Additional equipment: They are equipment such as advertising machines, those for simple union,

that participate in the processes of a call.

CONCLUSION

Switching is very important in telecommunications, as without it there would be none.

communication in a quick and effective manner. On the other hand, switching is considered as the

action of establishing a route, a path, from one end to another between two points, an emitter and a

receiver, through nodes or transmission equipment. It also allows for the delivery of the signal

from the origin to the required destination. Furthermore, it is also important because without it not

we could have a call on hold or Internet. It is worth noting that it allows for congestion relief

among network users, producing as an effect the decrease in traffic and an increase

significant in bandwidth.
