Introduction
In most of the GSM-R system deployments available at the time of the creation of the present document, the GSM-R
Networks are interconnected using TDM based interfaces.
The present document deals with the introduction of IP interconnection towards external networks using SIP-I as a call
control protocol, which seems to be beneficial both for operators and for network element vendors. ISUP
interconnection and the supporting hardware elements are getting old and less effective compared to the new IP based
interconnection methods already used in public networks.
In addition, the present document deals with MTP3 and MTP2 interworking between IP based interfaces and TDM
based interfaces.
SIP-I is a modern, IP-based call control protocol to be used between core networks. It is applicable in particular, if the
ISDN service interworking is kept completely.
While a number of interoperability specifications for various interfaces at various layers of GSM-R systems exist, the IP
interface between GSM-R networks has not yet been addressed by any interoperability specification activity.
The present document addresses the interoperability specification between any two GSM-R Core Networks, where at
least one of the networks uses IP based transport (Internet Protocol (IP) IETF RFC 791 [2]) for the interconnection.
