4 Reference model for the ETNS This clause provides a conceptual description of the implementation of the European Telephony Numbering Space (ETNS). Figure 1 shows the actors involved in the ETNS, and their relationship with each other. Also shown in figure 1 are the relevant reference points for the ETNS that are described in clauses 4.1 and 4.2. Figure 1 is divided into call-related and non-call-related parts in order to clearly show the distinction between the routeing functions and the management functions.

Figure 1: Actors and reference points The reference points in the call-related part of figure 1 are used in the present document, while the reference points in the non call-related part are used in EN 301 161 [1]. For simplicity transit networks are not shown in figure 1, but these could be present between any of the networks. The ETNS Service Provider is the entity that is relevant in the process of number assignment. The service producer and service network are entities that are relevant in call processing. The ETNS Service Provider, ETNS Service Producer and the service network may or may not be a single legal entity. Such a distinction leads to the recognition of two concepts under the term "service provision":
• the function of the first is to sell a service to an ETNS subscriber, and to be the sole interface with this ETNS subscriber. This is the role of the ETNS Service Provider; • the function of the second is to operate the call. This is the role of the ETNS Service Producer and the service network. SIST EN 301 160 V1.2.1:2005



ETSI ETSI EN 301 160 V1.2.1 (2002-01)10 The Serving Network (SgN) is responsible for routeing a call from the calling party to the service network. The service network participates through the service exchange in the provision of ETNS services.
ETNS numbers are managed by an independent body, identified as the registrar and administrator in figure 1. 4.1 Call-related (Routeing Part) This clause describes the principles for routeing a call from the calling party to the called party. A call to an ETNS number (En) can be divided in two parts. 4.1.1 Getting the ETNS Routeing number (Rn) The calling party shall dial the En in its international format. Based on the ESI [1], the call is routed to the serving exchange in the SgN. Potentially, this exchange may not be located in the calling party's network. The originating network is then called an assisted network, interconnected to the SgN through reference point C. An assisted network can be connected to multiple SgNs. The serving exchange, analysing the ESI, triggers the ETNS translation database using the incoming En to derive an outgoing ETNS Routeing Number or ETNS signalling address. The ETNS translation database can be inside or outside the SgN. Several SgNs may share the same ETNS translation database. The Routeing information from one En can vary from one SgN to another. When the SgN and the ScN are the same, the serving and service exchange within the network can be the same, and reference point B in figure 1 will then be internal.
4.1.2 Providing the ETNS service The proceeding of the call set up in the service network and beyond depends on the nature of the service on the one side, and on the relationship between the ETNS Service Producer and the service network on the other side. The nature of the service will determine the path of the call.
The relationship between the ETNS Service Producer and the service network will determine the responsibilities of each actor as regards service provision. The two actors can be the same entity which operates the service, or the ETNS Service Producer can rely upon the telecommunication infrastructure of a different service network and only operate e.g. a database when a double translation is required, see clause 5. The implementation of reference point "A" between the service network and the Service Producer depends on the service, technical constraints and the requirements from the regulatory environment. 4.1.3 Examples of Call Handling Figure 2 shows some examples of call handling. The examples show simplified network diagrams where the Calling Party is shown as directly connected to the Serving Network and the Called Party is connected to the Service Network. In practice an Assisted Network could separate the Calling Party from the Serving Network and a Terminating Network could separate the Service Network and the Called Party. Note that the translation database provides the capability to translate the ETNS number into a routeing number or signalling address. The translation database capability can be provided in a number of ways, e.g., Intelligent Network or internal switch translations. SIST EN 301 160 V1.2.1:2005

Figure 2: Examples of call handling 4.2 Non-call related (Management part)
Two functions are performed by the registrar. The first is the number assignment process. The second is the distribution of routeing numbers bound to ETNS numbers to SgNs. 4.2.1 ETNS number assignment The ETNS registrar database is primarily used in the interaction between the registrar and the Service Providers for number assignment. The procedures are outlined in the ETO Report [7]. 4.2.2 Obtaining Routeing numbers (Rns) ETNS Service Providers negotiate with the Service Producer and Service Network to obtain Routeing numbers, Rns. 4.2.3 Distribution of ETNS Routeing numbers (Rns) The distribution of routeing information to the SgNs occurs, for example, when: • a new En has been assigned; • coverage of an En has changed; • an En has been withdrawn; • a change of ETNS Service Network has occurred; • a change of ETNS Service Provider has occurred, that may entail new ETNS Routeing numbers. SIST EN 301 160 V1.2.1:2005



ETSI ETSI EN 301 160 V1.2.1 (2002-01)12 The procedure for the distribution of the ETNS Rns to the SgNs takes place through the registrar. It is assumed that the ETNS Service Provider has obtained the ETNS Rns from the ETNS service producer(s) it has agreement with, who in turn has obtained the Rn from the service network(s) it has agreement with. The service network will have obtained routeing numbers directly or indirectly from the national numbering authority. Figure 3 illustrates an example of the distribution of routeing numbers when updating the ETNS translation databases. The ETNS Service Provider informs the registrar of the ETNS numbers and its connected ETNS Routeing numbers. The registrar distributes ETNS numbers and their connected ETNS Routeing numbers to the relevant SgNs (see reference point E in figure 1): • SgN1 would need to use Rn(a); • SgN2 does not receive an Rn as in this example the customer has stated that they do not require service from this location; • SgNs 3 and 4 use a common number Rn(b).

ETSI ETSI EN 301 160 V1.2.1 (2002-01)13 5.1.2 Double translation Double translation can be implemented in two ways as illustrated in figure 4: • implementation A: utilizing the speech path between the serving exchange and the service exchange and the signalling path between the service exchange and the ETNS service producer database; • implementation B: utilizing only the signalling path between the serving/service exchange and the ETNS service producer database. Each routeing decision is based upon analysing a minimum of the following addressing parameters: the dialled En, an ETNS Rn, an ETNS signalling address or the Tn.

Implementation method B requires a standardized signalling interface between the ETNS translation database and the ETNS Service Producer database. For example a standardized translation between the Intelligent Network (IN) signalling and ISDN User Part (ISDN ISUP) v2 [6]. The combined serving/service exchange and the ETNS translation database are normally co-located within one network. The oval illustrates that the exact termination of the signalling connection within the IN-architecture is not decided. The consequence of direct interrogation between the databases is effectively to co-locate the service exchange and the serv
