Services and Protocols for Advanced Networks (SPAN) - Intelligent Networks (IN) - Architectures and signalling requirements for IN-based networks interworking with IP-based networks

The scope of this ETSI Guide is to cover the standardisation of functions to allow interworking of Intelligent networks and Internet protocols. Covering: - Signalling requirements on the Internet protocols User Agent (UA) function to Service Control Gateway (SCG) function; - Signalling requirements to support Internet protocols between the SCG function and the other IN functional entities;  -Signalling requirements to specific services between the SCG function and the other IN functional entities; - Architectures for the deployment of IP in the circuit Switched Network, including IN entities; - Use of IN Service Control Points (SCP) as platforms to support IP/IN Gatekeeper functions; - Security aspects also need to be addressed.

Foreword
This ETSI Guide (EG) has been produced by ETSI Technical Committee Services and Protocols for Advanced
Networks (SPAN).
Introduction
The present document is closely aligned with ITU-T Recommendation Q.1244 [19], such that clauses 5 and 7 are
similar in technical content with the related parts of the ITU-T Recommendation. Clause 6 whilst aligned with ITU-T
Recommendation Q.1244 [19] provides more detail in the figures and tables describing the relationship of the reference
scenarios with the lower layer transport protocols. The intention of the present document is to define a set of
enhancements for IN CS-3 for interworking with IP-networks, which comprises IN CS-4 in the ITU-T. In ETSI these
enhancements will be considered as a revision of ETSI Core INAP.

1 Scope
The present document describes the standardization of functions to allow interworking between Intelligent Networks
and IP-networks for IN CS-3. These functions include:
- Signalling Requirements for interworking between functional entities in the IN and IP-networks;
- Signalling Requirements to support benchmark capabilities between functional entities in the IN and
IP-networks;
- Architecture supporting the transport of higher layer session multimedia protocols between IP-network and the
Circuit Switched Network;
- Interworking and addressing of service control functions and service control gateway functionality across IN and
IP-network boundaries;
- Study of the security aspects.
The present document only considers scenarios for interworking IN CS-3 capabilities and IP-based networks. Service
and network integration is outside the scope of the present document.
The management functional entity requirements and interfaces are outside the scope of the present document.

3 Definitions and abbreviations
3.1 Definitions
For the purposes of the present document, the following terms and definitions apply:
call: point-to-point multimedia communication between two H.323 endpoints
NOTE: The call begins with the call set-up procedure and ends with the call termination procedure. The call
consists of the collection of reliable and unreliable channels between the endpoints. A call may be directly
between two endpoints, or may include other H.323 entities such as a Gatekeeper or MG. In case of
interworking with some CSN endpoints via a Gateway, all the channels terminate at the Gateway where
they are converted to the appropriate representation for the CSN end system. Typically, a call is between
two users for the purpose of communication, but may include signalling-only calls. An endpoint may be
capable of supporting multiple simultaneous calls.
call signalling channel: reliable channel used to convey the call set-up and teardown messages (see ITU-T
Recommendation H.225.0) between two H.323 entities
composite gateway: logical entity composed of a single MGC and one or more MGs that may be reside on different
machines
NOTE: Together, they preserve the behaviour of a gateway as defined in ITU-T Recommendations H.323 [10]
and H.246 [8].
GateKeeper (GK): H.323 entity on the network that provides address translation and controls access to the network for
H.323 terminals, Gateways and MCUs
NOTE: The Gatekeeper may also provide other services to the terminals, Gateways and MCUs such as bandwidth
management and locating Gateways.
GateWay (GW): an H.323 GateWay (GW) is an endpoint on the network which provides for real-time, two-way
communications between H.323 Terminals on the packet based network and other ITU Terminals on a switched circuit
network, or to another H.323 Gateway
NOTE: Other ITU-T terminals include those complying with Recommendations H.310 (H.320 on B-ISDN),
H.320 (ISDN), H.321 (ATM), H.322 (GQOS-LAN), H.324 (GSTN), H.324M (Mobile), and V.70
(DSVD).

H.248: describes a control model and protocol for an MGC to control an MG
NOTE: An MGC-MG association reserves the behaviour of a H.323 gateway. H.248 has been developed in
ITU-T SG16, in co-operation with IETF MEGACO, with the intention of providing a single, international
standard for Media Gateway Control.
H.323 Entity: any H.323 component, including terminals, Gateways, Gatekeepers, MGCs and MGs
H.323 Service Control Protocol: specifies protocol for multimedia communications over packet networks to be used
between gatekeepers
NOTE: This is work under study in SG16, intended to enhance service related information transfer to and from
the gatekeeper, which is currently limited to RAS. This work is expected to be strongly influenced by the
IN-IPT interworking model and the joint work of SG16/SG11 in general.
IP-address: 32-bit address defined by the Internet Protocol in IETF RFC 791
NOTE: It is usually represented in dotted decimal notation.
IP-network: general term denoting networks based on the Internet Protocol (IP) suite
NOTE: A network which uses IP as the Layer 3 protocol.
JAVA: software platform trademark of Sun Microsystems
Media Gateway (MG): converts media provided in one type of network to the format required in another type of
network
NOTE: For example, an MG could terminate bearer channels from a switched circuit network (i.e. DSOs) and
media streams from a packet network (e.g., RTP streams in an IP-network). This gateway may be capable
of processing audio, video and T.120 alone or in any combination, and will be capable of full duplex
media translations. The MG may also play audio/video messages and perform other IVR functions, or
may perform media conferencing.
Media Gateway Controller (MGC): controls the parts of the call state that pertain to connection control for media
channels in a MG
proxy, proxy server: intermediary program that acts as both a server and a client for the purpose of making requests on
behalf of other clients
NOTE: Requests are serviced internally or by passing them on, possibly after translation, to other servers. A
proxy interprets, and, if necessary, rewrites a request message before forwarding it, see [11]. This
functional element is functionally similar to the user agent server. In essence the proxy server is
comprised of both a SIP client and a SIP server.
RAS (Reservation, Admission and Status): the RAS signalling function uses H.225.0 messages to perform
registration, admissions, bandwidth changes, status, and disengage procedures between endpoints and Gatekeepers
NOTE: For details refer to ITU-T Recommendations H.323 [10] and H.225.0 [6].
RAS channel: reliable channel used to convey the registration, admissions, bandwidth change, and status messages
(following ITU-T Recommendation H.225.0) between two H.323 entities
redirect server: server that accepts a SIP request, maps the address into zero or more new addresses and returns these
addresses to the client
NOTE: Unlike a proxy server, it does not initiate its own SIP request. Unlike a user agent server, it does not
accept calls, see [11]. The redirect server is not responsible for call control but will simply respond to SIP
requests with a new address.
registrar server: simply responds to registrar requests
NOTE: Typically this is co-located with either the proxy or the redirect server, and may be adapted to perform
location-based services, see [11].
server: application program that accepts requests in order to service requests and sends back responses to those requests

NOTE: Servers are either proxy, redirect or user agent servers or registrars [11].
Session Initiation Protocol (SIP): text-based protocol, similar to HTTP and SMTP, for initiating interactive
communication sessions between users
NOTE: Such sessions include voice, vi
