Abstract

This paper assesses the impact of integrating voice and data over circuit switched networks. Three main types of circuit switching are considered: 1) traditional circuit switching, 2)fast circuit switchingemploying advanced switching speeds, and 3) enhanced circuit switchingemploying time assigned speech interpolation (TASI) and adaptive data multiplexing (ADM) techniques. The circuit switching networks are evaluated in terms of two main network performance parameters: transmission efficiency and delay. In addition, an evaluation is made of such things as protocol and error control, precedence and preemption, routing and flow control, synchronization, voice continuity, probability of error or loss, and classmarking flexibility. One of the main conclusions of this paper is that circuit switching technologies have several deficiencies associated with providing integrated voice/data service and that the future lies in the effective use of packet and hybrid (circuit/packet) switching technologies.
