Design of wireless upgrade plan for AR1688 series VOIP phones

introduction

VOIP (Voice Over IP, voice service realized by sending IP data packets) is a technology that uses the Internet as a transmission carrier to implement voice communication between computers and computers, ordinary phones and ordinary phones, and computers and ordinary phones. VOIP voice communication technology has developed rapidly, and many new technologies are emerging. The H323 protocol we talked about in the past is now very old, and the MGCP transformed from H323 is to solve the problem from the perspective of traditional telecommunications, so product upgrading is the only way to track the development of VOIP. AR1688 series VOIP phones are developed on the basis of low-cost solutions, which have greatly improved the integration and performance compared to PA1688 series.

With the rapid popularization and development of 3G and WIFI networks, the application of wireless VOIP has also attracted more and more attention. The combination of VOIP voice communication technology and new wireless broadband will change the access and use of mobile and fixed voice services by enterprises and consumers. the way. This means that you can talk on the mobile phone network while walking on the street. After entering the office, the call can be seamlessly switched to WLAN voice technology. In a special environment where the mobile phone signal is weak, the software in the mobile phone will automatically transfer the call to the WLAN voice system, and when it is outside the WLAN coverage, the call will be switched to the mobile phone network. This article proposes a wireless upgrade solution based on AR1688 series VOIP phones.

Based on AR1688's VOIP phone system, its basic framework is to process complex speech encoding and decoding algorithms and network communication protocols. Among them, the speech codec algorithm requires a 100MIPS digital signal processor (DSP), which requires the use of high-performance processors in the design. At the same time, in order to realize the routing processing and forwarding of information, a network chip needs to be used in the circuit. In order to form a complete voice terminal, it must also include memory, power supply circuit, keyboard, display screen, power amplifier circuit, etc.

AR1688 VOIP phone system is composed of AR1688 main chip, network interface (1 ~ 2), Flash, power supply, keyboard interface and display interface. The block diagram of the AR1688 system is shown in Figure 1.

AR1688 is a programmable chip, 8-bit controller for VOIP protocol stack, and 24-bit DSP for voice compression algorithm. Compared with PA1688, AR1688 has higher performance, better voice quality and lower cost. AR1688 integrates 2 processors into one chip: 8-bit MCU is compatible with Z80 instruction set, the typical operating frequency is 24.576 MHz, and the maximum operating frequency is 60 MHz; 24-bit DSP uses ADI's ADSP2181 compatible processor, core computing power Up to 72 MIPS. Using DSP as the MCU coprocessor, internally solves the coordination problem of the two processors. Integrated on-chip 116 KB SRAM memory, no external SDRAM expansion required, maximum support 2 MB external memory, up to 4 external SRAM, EEPROM or Flash; integrated 18-bit high-quality CODEC on chip; integrated DC / DC conversion to provide core voltage; Support 24.577 6MHz crystal oscillator and on-chip PLL, support real-time clock; including 1 UART interface, 12 key keyboard interface, 16 general programming input and output interface (GPIO), simplifying system design and improving system stability.

At present, there are quite a few solutions for the wireless upgrade of the used wired network equipment, but nothing more than adding WIFI modules or TD modules to the existing VOIP products. This article adopts the method of installing WIFI module, and uses 88W8510 chip to realize wireless bridge to achieve the purpose of wireless upgrading of existing VOIP products.

In the VOIP telephone system, the VOIP phone is an indispensable component device. It is a user-end device for users to connect to the Internet network and provide users with various services. Although ordinary analog phones can be used as VOIP phones, the current development direction of VOIP phones is to realize voice compression coding, packet packaging, etc. by the terminal, and the terminal is directly connected to the Internet. The advantage of this is that it achieves all-IP communication, which can take full advantage of the various advantages of the IP network; at the same time, the terminal shares some of the functions of the gateway, making the network function configuration more flexible, which is the traditional wired design method. The idea of ​​this upgrade plan is to use the VOIP voice terminal designed based on the AR1688 chip, which is cost-effective, and uses the 88W8510 chip to realize wireless bridge connection and wireless access to the Internet to achieve the purpose of wireless upgrade of the VOIP voice terminal.

The 88W8010 WIFI module of the American Marvell company is a wireless bridge device that implements IEEE 802.11b / g functions. It solves the problem of upgrading traditional VOIP devices from wired to wireless registration to a SIP server. The specific solution is shown in Figure 2.
