Digital Cross-Connect Systems and CCS Network Survivability

摘要

This paper provides a systems engineering study of the survivability impact of using Digital Cross-Connect Systems (DCSs) in various Common Channel Signaling(CCS)network architectures.Specifically,it:(1)gives a brief overview of the DCS functionality,(2)examines major factors in deriving CCS network alternative architectures usmg DCS(s), (3)provides examples of network configurations and engineering guidelines for survivable deployment of DCSs in the CCS network,and(4)states areas for future work.
