Telecommunications and Internet Protocol Harmonization Over Networks (TIPHON) Release 3; Functional entities, information flow and reference point definitions; Guidelines for application of TIPHON functional architecture to inter-domain services

The technical specification should clarify the application of the TIPHON functional architecture in order to support services over several administrative domains. For each service, the specification will elaborate on the services functional layer, identifying (not necessarily defining new ones) the required service functions, information flows and reference points between these service functions and other functional entities in the service control layer, IP transport plane, Management plane, and SCN plane as necessary

5 TIPHON meta-protocol
5.1 Introduction
The telecommunications industry has a long tradition of creating specialist protocols for individual services. Often
several flavours of one protocol were used or several protocols existed to address the same problem. From an
interworking perspective these multiple protocols represent a significant challenge, because each of them assumes that
messages and code points are available to define the service. The consequence is that the service definition is different
on either side of an interworking point, often only in a subtle way. This means that interworking is a complex problem
involving a large number of compromises. More specifically, if there are n protocols to inter-work then there are
n x (n-1) interworking approximations that need to be developed.
TIPHON Release 3 introduces the use of a meta-protocol to manage the overall complexity to achieve multi-protocol
interworking. As shown in figure 2, the process of interworking is defined in terms of rules for encoding the code
points, mapping the messages and modifying states. As a consequence, the number of interworking approximations is
reduced to n rather than n x (n-1). A TIPHON service application is therefore defined in meta-protocol terms rather than
with any other protocol used at the point of interworking. A mechanism is then defined for interworking with each
desired, or candidate protocol. Hence a mapping to and from the meta-protocol (designed to support the services
needed) is defined for each concrete protocol to be used. This mapping must also take into account the behaviour of
underlying transport layers and protect against message loss. The derivation of these mappings is a complex task.
However, it is not always possible to apply the meta-protocol to generate a complete mapping to a given protocol. This
either results in writing new meta-protocol extensions or in deficiencies in the chosen concrete protocol.

Figure 2: Meta-protocol enabled interworking
More formally, the TIPHON meta-protocol is an application level functionality, which encompasses a whole host of
applications required for next generation telephony. It provides a super set of capabilities to support the telephony
application, in a protocol and transport technology independent way. The meta-protocol consists of call state machines,
which can perform the call processing. Different standard (and non standard) protocols can be mapped to this superset
functionality to provide interworking between them. It can be implemented in its entirety to develop communications
application servers, or it can be used as a tool to enhance existing protocols and to provide interworking between them.
The basis of the meta-protocol is the TIPHON abstract architecture, which defines functional layers, reference points
and interfaces between the functional layers. (See [2] for a full definition of this structure.) A functional layer performs
a specific set of tasks, e.g. the Call Control functional layer performs call processing; the Bearer Control functional
layer performs bearer setup/negotiation, etc. A set of these layers forms a functional group.
TIPHON architecture defines five layers of functionality, which are:
• Service layer,
• Service Control layer,
• Call Control layer,
• Bearer Control layer,
• Media Control layer.

Figure 3: TIPHON application architecture
Figure 3 shows an example of TIPHON architecture, FGs and reference points for the applications.
For the whole system to work, each functional layer carries out a set of tasks, and communicates information requests
and responses, to other functional layers. This flow of information takes place on reference points bothvertically and
horizontally.
This abstract architecture can be mapped to real "boxes", e.g. The CC and BC layers map to a NWFG (e.g. a
SoftSwitch, SIP B2BUA, H.323 gatekeeper); the Service layer could map to a Registration Server, or a Parlay Server.
The information flows between these functional layers take place at reference points in the form of real protocols, e.g.
the C reference point could be supported by H.323, SIP, BICC, ISUP etc; the N reference point could be supported by
the Megaco/H248 protocol.
But all the above standardized protocols behave differently, are technology dependent, and do not always allow a
seamless service interworking. Also, these protocols do not fulfil the requirements of all the reference points. The
meta-protocol was developed to encompass the behaviour and context of all the functional layers into one set of
functionality.
Some of the services provided by the meta-protocol are given below:
• Registration of subscribers,
• Authentication of users,
• Authorization of services,
• Provide services in home or visiting network (roaming),
• Call Control functionality,
• Call setup/teardown/call management,

• Bearer Control functionality (departure from the old monolithic CC functionality, as the bearer is no more tied
tightly to the Call Control):
- Bearer setup/teardown/management,
• Aggregate bearer:
- (old trunking facility in packet networks),
• Service control/access/provision:
- Access to switch based and non switch based services,
• Media control functionality, to manage different types of media, having different attributes,
• Provides all of above for multimedia sessions.
There are several parts of the meta-protocol, which refer to the TIPHON reference points they support, hence, the type
of services those reference points provide. The reference points supported by the meta-protocol are:
Table 1: Mapping of Reference points to target protocols
Reference Purpose Candidate protocols

C Call Control SIP, H.323, BICC, ISUP
BC Bearer Control SDP, H.245, BICC-SDP

T Transport Control MEGACO/H.248 + EMP (TS 101 332)
S Services (access to)
SC Service Control INAP, Parlay, OSA, JAIN, SIP

There are sub parts of the above reference points, e.g. the C reference point consists of C1, C2 and C3. Each of these
subparts carry slightly different information since they operate between functional groups with a different role in call
processing, but provide the same type of service: Call Control signalling.
