Recommendation E.810
MODEL FOR THE SERVEABILITY PERFORMANCE ON A BASIC CALL
IN THE TELEPHONE NETWORK1)
Introduction
This Recommendation2) is one of a set of closely related Recommendations
concerned with the accessibility and retainability of telephone services, as
listed below.
The CCITT,
considering
(a) that there is a desire to establish overall objectives for the quality
of service as perceived by the users;
(b) that such objectives can then be used as a basis for the design,
planning, operation and maintenance of telecommunication networks and their
component parts;
(c) that Recommendation E.800 contains terms and definitions for the
quality of service, the reliability and availability performances and related
characteristics of services and networks,
recommends
that the telephone call model given in this Recommendation shall be used
by Administrations to design, plan, operate and maintain their networks taking
into account the objectives given in Recommendations:
E.830 Models for the allocation of international telephone connection
retainability, accessibility and integrity;
E.845 Connection accessibility objective for the international telephone
service;
E.850 Connection retainability objective for the international telephone
service.
Note - Refer also to the draft Recommendation on interruption objectives
which is being studied under Question 39/II.
1 Model of a basic telephone call and its serveability
performance
The following simplified model illustrates the principal phases of a basic
telephone ca . It also interrelates these phases to
the service-related performance concepts and their principal
measures as well as to the main causes of failure in the
establishment and retention of such a call and its subsequent
billing.
The model also indicates where, in this series of phases, user
actions or mistakes may influence the call.
2 Comments to the model and its applications
2.1 Mathematical modelling
In a simple case of statistical independence, the probabilities may be
combined into the following mathematical models:
P = (P11 . P12) . P2 . (P31 . P32) . P4
to express the probability of a correctly billed revenue-making call and,
P = (P11 . P12) . P2 . (P31 . P32)
to express the probability of a successfully completed call.
2.2 Contributions to causes of call failure
It is generally recognized that the various parts of a national or
international network may be of different importance to the successful completion
of the various phases of a call. For example, the network accessibility is mainly
determined by the telephone set, the subscriber line and the local exchange; the
connection accessibility by the exchanges, transmission network and signalling
network used; the billing integrity is dependent on the charging facilities used
by the network parts that constitute the connection and the equipment for
processing the billing information, etc. In some Administrations, the telephone
set is not considered as a part of the network and in that case it is not
included in the concept of network performance.
1) Although this Recommendation deals with the telephone service, in principle the model
and the decomposition of serveability performance can also be applied to other
telecommunication services. The elaboration of this principle is left for further
study.
2) Some of the terms in this Recommendation, for example the noun "measure", are used in
the sense of their definition given in Recommendation E.800.

2.3 Time aspects of measures
Depending on the intended application of the measures indicated in Figure
1/E.810, it may be appropriate to express these measures as instantaneous values
related to a given instant of time or as a mean over a given time interval.
Advice on which variant to use should be given in each specific relevant
Recommendation.
2.4 Space aspects of averages
The measures as indicated in Figure 1/E.810 could be applied to calls
between particular destinations as traffic weighted averages over a number of
destinations, etc.
Each relevant Recommendation should clearly specify which alternative(s)
to use.
