Information technology — Telecommunications and information exchange between systems — Private Integrated Services Network — Functional requirements for static circuit-mode inter-PINX connections

This International Standard is a part of the functional requirements for the Private Integrated Services Network (PISN) and defines the functions and procedures that are required by Private Integrated Services Network exchanges (PINXs) and the intervening network (IVN) in order to establish Inter-PINX Connections (IPC). The IPC is used for the transfer of signalling and user information between PINXs. The Private Signalling System No.1 (PSS1) as defined in ISO/IEC 11572 and 11574 defines the signalling procedures and protocol for call control between PINXs at the Q reference point. These procedures are independent of the types of IVNs, called scenarios used to interconnect the PINXs. ISO/IEC TR14475 describes the use of various types of IVNs which provide the interconnections of PINXs. In order to connect a PINX to another PINX, mapping functions are required to adapt the specific interfaces at the C reference point to the application at the Q reference point. As such, mapping functions provide for physical adaptation to the interface at the C reference point. Mapping functions also provide for the mapping of user channels and signalling information at the Q reference point to the appropriate channels or time-slots at the C reference point. The C and Q reference points are defined in ISO/IEC 11579-1. The types of interfaces at the C reference point covered by this International Standard are: [1] 1544 kbit/s unstructured digital leased line [2] 1544 kbit/s structured digital leased line [3] 2048 kbit/s unstructured digital leased line [4] 2048 kbit/s structured digital leased line [5] 64 kbit/s unrestricted digital leased line [6] 1544 kbit/s ISDN Primary Rate user-network layer 1 interface [7] 2048 kbit/s ISDN Primary Rate user-network layer 1 interface [8] ISDN Basic Rate user-network layer 1 interface At the Q reference point the mappings provide a 64 kbit/s service for user channels and a packet mode service for the signalling channel. The applied mapping is a static mapping, i.e. there is a fixed relationship between user and signalling channels at the Q reference point and the timeslots of the interface at the C reference point. Any changes are subject to administrative actions. This International Standard specifies PINX mapping functions between the Q reference point and the C reference point for IVNs which provide either dedicated or semi-permanent, non-user activation, circuit-mode IPCs. The dedicated IPC is the connection permanently established, usually for the duration of a contractual period. The semi-permanent IPC is the connection whose resources are reserved for specified times during a contractual period. The semi-permanent IPC is established by management control with or without user activations. In this International Standard, the semi-permanent IPC established by management control with user activation is outside the scope. The IVN can be a dedicated physical link, dedicated transmission system or a cross connect system, or semi-permanent connection system. IVNs which include inverse mulitlexer techniques (e.g. channel aggregation in accordance with ISO/IEC 13871) are covered by this International Standard so far as they support one of the interfaces listed above. This International Standard also specifies mapping information. At both sides of the PINX, mapping information is required to administer the scenarios. This International Standard is applicable to PINXs which can be interconnected to form a Private Integrated Services Network (PISN) and which support signalling protocols at the Q reference point.

Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) and IEC (the International
Electrotechnical Commission) form the specialized system for worldwide standardization.
National bodies that are members of ISO or IEC participate in the development of
International Standards through technical committees established by the respective
organization to deal with particular fields of technical activity. ISO and IEC technical
committees collaborate in fields of mutual interest. Other international organizations,
governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO and IEC, also take part in the
work.
In the field of information technology, ISO and IEC have established a joint technical
committee, ISO/IEC JTC 1. Draft International Standards adopted by the joint technical
committee are circulated to national bodies for voting. Publication as an International
Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the national bodies casting a vote.
International Standard ISO/IEC 14474 was prepared by Joint Technical Committee
ISO/IEC JTC 1, Information technology, Subcommittee SC 6, Telecommunications and
information exchange between systems.
Annex A forms an integral part of this International Standard.

Information technology — Telecommunications and information exchange
between systems — Private Integrated Services Network — Functional
requirements for static circuit-mode inter-PINX connections
1. Scope
This International Standard is a part of the functional requirements for the Private Integrated Services Network (PISN)
and defines the functions and procedures that are required by Private Integrated Services Network exchanges (PINXs)
and the intervening network (IVN) in order to establish Inter-PINX Connections (IPC). The IPC is used for the transfer
of signalling and user information between PINXs.
The Private Signalling System No.1 (PSS1) as defined in ISO/IEC 11572 and 11574 defines the signalling procedures
and protocol for call control between PINXs at the Q reference point. These procedures are independent of the types of
IVNs, called scenarios used to interconnect the PINXs. ISO/IEC TR14475 describes the use of various types of IVNs
which provide the interconnections of PINXs.
In order to connect a PINX to another PINX, mapping functions are required to adapt the specific interfaces at the C
reference point to the application at the Q reference point. As such, mapping functions provide for physical adaptation
to the interface at the C reference point. Mapping functions also provide for the mapping of user channels and
signalling information at the Q reference point to the appropriate channels or time-slots at the C reference point. The C
and Q reference points are defined in ISO/IEC 11579-1.
The types of interfaces at the C reference point covered by this International Standard are:
[1] 1544 kbit/s unstructured digital leased line
[2] 1544 kbit/s structured digital leased line
[3] 2048 kbit/s unstructured digital leased line
[4] 2048 kbit/s structured digital leased line
[5] 64 kbit/s unrestricted digital leased line
[6] 1544 kbit/s ISDN Primary Rate user-network layer 1 interface
[7] 2048 kbit/s ISDN Primary Rate user-network layer 1 interface
[8] ISDN Basic Rate user-network layer 1 interface
At the Q reference point the mappings provide a 64 kbit/s service for user channels and a packet mode service for the
signalling channel. The applied mapping is a static mapping, i.e. there is a fixed relationship between user and
signalling channels at the Q reference point and the timeslots of the interface at the C reference point. Any changes are
subject to administrative actions.
This International Standard specifies PINX mapping functions between the Q reference point and the C reference point
for IVNs which provide either dedicated or semi-permanent, non-user activation, circuit-mode IPCs. The dedicated IPC
is the connection permanently established, usually for the duration of a contractual period. The semi-permanent IPC is
the connection whose resources are reserved for specified times during a contractual period. The semi-permanent IPC is
established by management control with or without user activations. In this International Standard, the semi-permanent
IPC established by management control with user activation is outside the scope.
The IVN can be a dedicated physical link, dedicated transmission system or a cross connect system, or semi-permanent
connection system. IVNs which include inverse mulitlexer techniques (e.g. channel aggregation in accordance with
ISO/IEC 13871) are covered by this International Standard so far as they support one of the interfaces listed above.
This International Standard also specifies mapping information. At both sides of the PINX, mapping information is
required to administer the scenarios.
This International Standard is applicable to PINXs which can be interconnected to form a Private Integrated Services
Network (PISN) and which support signalling protocols at the Q reference point.

5. Introduction
For the concept of mapping function reference is made to ISO/IEC TR 14475[2].
5.1 Type of IVN
The IVNs supporting permanent circuit-mode IPCs are as follows:
¤Dedicated Transmission System
¤Semi Permanently established channels of circuit-mode network
5.1.1 Dedicated Transmission System
The IPC is provided by a transmission mechanism. The IPC is established by management, see Figure 5.1.
PINX PINX
Physical Medium

MP MP
Q CC Q
Figure 5.1 — Dedicated Physical medium
The transmission Medium can provide unstructured or channelized bitstream.
5.1.2 Semi-Permanent Connection
The dedicated or the semi-permanent IPCs are provided by a semi-permanent circuit-mode mechanism in the intervening
network, in which the IPCs are permanently established by management control with or without user activation. The
channels on an IPC (signalling and user information channels between associated two PINXs) at the Q reference point
are mapped onto preassigned timeslots providing of 64 kbit/s bearer capability of the IVN access at the C reference
point.
This scenario provides multiple IPCs leading to different PINXs.

categorizes the IVN types in terms of the characteristics of the digital leased line for the provision of IPC. IVN interface
types are only standardized in certain regions. The international availability of the full bit stream is outside the scope of
this International Standard.

9 ISDN 2048kbit/s Primary Rate Interface According to ITU-T Rec.I.431
10 ISDN Basic Rate Interface According to ITU-T Rec.I.430
Note 1:
This type of leased line that is used to interconnect PINXs is a digital transmission link providing primary rate (1544
kbit/s) capability. In this mapping type, the derived channel at the Q reference point shall be mapped onto the time
slot the information transfer rate of which is at 64 kbit/s without alteration between the PINXs.
Note 2:
In Europe and Australia it is possible to get 2048 kbit/s leased lines in two different ways. Alternative 1 is
unstructured version, which provides unstructured bit stream at 2048 kbit/s (there is no channelisation). Alternative 2
is a channelized version in which time slot 0 is not necessarily transparent. Normally however the leased line offers
the remaining 31 channels so that they can be used as 1984 kbit/s or as 31 x 64 kbit/s.
For the case of an unstructured leased line, it should be considered as one IPC at 2048 kbit/s. One possible mapping
is to map it to 31 x 64 kbit/s channels. For the structured case especially when used with a cross connect the interface
should be considered as providing 31 IPCs cash at 64 kbit/s.
Note 3:
It is a make of subscription, while all 64 kbit/s timeslots are though connected end-to-end. Timeslot sequence
integrity is guranteed.
5.3 IPC Bearer Capabilities
IPC Bearer Capabilities depend on IVN Interface describing in the table below.
In each IVN types, the bearer capabilities shall be the assume in both PINXs for any given channel at the Q reference
point. While, as a default solution, the bearer capabilities of any given channel at the Q reference point may be the same
as provided by the IVN, the channels offered to the Q reference point can have deferent bearer capabilities provided by
the IVN. The bearer modification function allows for conditioning the bearer capabilities provided by the IVN,
depending on the bearer capabilities desired at the Q reference point. This bearer modification function is outside the
scope of this International Standard.
