Performance and Reliability of Networks (e.g. IP, ATM, OTN, and PSTN), and Services (e.g. Frame Relay, Dedicated and Switched Data),
Security-related aspects,
Emergency communications-related aspects,
Coding (e.g. video and speech), at and between carrier-to-carrier and carrier-to-customer interfaces, with due consideration of end-user applications.
Standards, requirements, technical reports, and contributions will be developed that:
Identify and define performance parameters and levels for the speed, accuracy, dependability, availability, and robustness of connection establishment, information transfer, and connection disengagement;
Define measurement techniques for these performance parameters;
Define methods for characterizing network and signal processing performance for customer applications;
Develop transmission planning guidance for the deployment of signal processing devices such as echo cancellers and VoIP elements; and
Take into account the characteristics of signal processing and multimedia systems and the needed interworking among network technologies and services such as IP, Frame Relay, ATM, SONET, OTN, TDM, Wireless, etc.
PRQC develops and recommends standards, requirements, and technical reports related to the performance, reliability, and associated security aspects of communications networks, as well as the processing of voice, audio, data, image, and video signals, and their multimedia integration. PRQC also develops and recommends positions on, and foster consistency with, standards and related subjects under consideration in other North American and international standards bodies.
