A Case for Call Activity Detection for ATM Voice Services in Project Parakeet

Abstract

The introduction of Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) into the Australian Army tactical communication system will provide significant benefits through responsive network management and the integration of multiple communication applications. ATM integration into Parakeet is complicated as the current network employs military standard protocols which are quite different to civil standards. This report seeks to quantify capacity economies which can be achieved through the development of an adaptive approach to voice services on the ATM network by transmitting only active connections. An examination is also made to determine whether data communications protocols can access the released capacity. The study finds that savings are significant and the released capacity should add substantially to data communications capability.
