1、 ATIS-0300077 ATIS Standard on - 555 TECHNICAL SERVICE INTERCONNECTION AGREEMENTS As a leading technology and solutions development organization, the Alliance for Telecommunications Industry Solutions (ATIS) brings together the top global ICT companies to advance the industrys most pressing business

2、 priorities. ATIS nearly 200 member companies are currently working to address the All-IP transition, network functions virtualization, big data analytics, cloud services, device solutions, emergency services, M2M, cyber security, network evolution, quality of service, billing support, operations, a

3、nd much more. These priorities follow a fast-track development lifecycle from design and innovation through standards, specifications, requirements, business use cases, software toolkits, open source solutions, and interoperability testing. ATIS is accredited by the American National Standards Insti

4、tute (ANSI). The organization is the North American Organizational Partner for the 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP), a founding Partner of the oneM2M global initiative, a member of and major U.S. contributor to the International Telecommunication Union (ITU), as well as a member of the Inte

Notice of Disclaimer the POP of the carrier presubscribed to the calling line (the “PIC”)5 a termination within the local network. When multiple exchange providers exist in local calling areas, the call could

6、be routed to an interconnection point of another local service provider by mutual agreement of the affected parties. The network capability described above can support the routing of calls dialed with “555” numbers as both an exchange access service as well as a local exchange service. 3.5 Signaling

7、 Arrangements Signaling could be provided in the form of Multi-Frequency (MF) and/or Signaling System 7 (SS7). These Signaling types can be utilized for the following applications; exchange service, operator services, access services, etc. (See Section 3 and Figure 3-1). Potential features and inter

8、face options for the signaling interfaces are summarized in Section 3.3, Table 1. Calls routed to either an interexchange carrier or to a carrier designated by the 555 number assignee may require that the originating network provide information needed for billing and routing to the intermediate carr

9、ier who will then provide the same information to the terminating network.64 Technical Service Interconnection Architectures This section describes access and exchange service architectures that could be used for 555 services. The service arrangements are categorized based upon the following network

10、 functions: 1. translations of the dialed number 2. the routing of the call 3. the type of signaling _ 5This alternative applies to 10 digit dialed 555 numbers. 6Information that the terminating network may need includes the Trunk Class Mark, or ANI II digits, the ANI or billing number, the called n

11、umber or destination number and the transport carrier or presubscribed carrier information. iiATIS-0300077 These functions and their relationships are illustrated in Figure 3-1. The translation, routing, billing, blocking, and signaling characteristics are summarized in Section 3.3, Table 1. 4.1 Tra

12、nslations, Routing and Signaling Examples Using Figure 3-1 as a reference, consider a local service example in which a customer dials a seven digit 555 number. The originating network could perform a seven digit analysis and translation of the 555 number and determines that the call should be comple

13、ted within the same originating network. (See S1, S2 or S3 in Figure 3-1) The call would be delivered to the location of the 555 number holder on an intraLATA basis to a line side termination. (See S2 in Figure 3-1) In the intermediate example, two potential situations could exist. In the first case

14、, a caller dials a 10 digit 555 number with an NPA in a foreign LATA (Local Access Transport Area). The originating switch could route the call to the interexchange carrier identified by the PIC of the originating subscribers line using a FG D (Feature Group D) interface (S-1). The PICd interexchang

15、e carrier could then analyze and translate the 555 number and route the call appropriately. In the second case, a caller could dial either a 7 or 10 digit 555 number. The originating switch could perform digit analysis and translations of the 555 line number to determine the designated carrier (S1 i

16、n Figure 3-1) selected by the 555 assignee and route the call to that designated carrier. The designated carrier could then perform digit analysis and translate the 555 number and route the call appropriately. In a terminating example, a caller dials a 10 digit 555 number that is intended for a fore

17、ign NPA. The originating switch could route the call to the interexchange carrier identified by the PIC of the subscribers line (S1 in Figure 3-1) using FG D interface. Thus far, this example is originating translation. Based upon the 10 digit dialed number, the interexchange carrier could terminate

18、 the call to the LEC (Local Exchange Carrier) tandem specified in the LERG. (This is the terminating network in Figure 3-1). The terminating LEC tandem could translate the seven digit 555 line number to a number in the terminating LATA to an exchange trunk interface (S2). Thus, translations would ha

19、ve been performed in the terminating LATA. iiATIS-0300077 OriginatingNetworkPICDesignatedCarrier555AssigneeTerminatingNetwork*Translated:Route to:Requires terminating arrangementS3S2S1S1S3S2S3S2S3S2S1S1 = e.g. Feature Group D, Operator Services SwitchS2 = e.g. Line or trunk side interfaceS3 = negoti

The left side of

21、 Figure 3-2 illustrates calls originated and terminated in the same LATA. The right side illustrates terminating calls from an interexchange carrier that were originated in another LATA. Reference is made to a database in Figure 3-2 to perform the necessary screening and translations on the 555 line

22、 number to determine the proper carrier or 555 assignee interface. The use of a database and its location is the decision of the individual network provider(s). References are also made to 555 calls from wireless stations via a MTSO (Mobile Telephone Switching Office). However, such 555 technical in

36、 network. Alternatively, if there were no direct connection, the designated carrier could translate the dialed 555 number to a routable number and complete the call via a terminating network using terminating switched access. 7.4 Calls Routed to the Presubscribed Interexchange Carrier (PIC) Existing

37、 capabilities within the originating network would allow interLATA 555 calls to continue to be forwarded to the PIC of the calling line or the carrier designated by Carrier Access Code (10XXX/101XXXX) dialing, using FG D signaling protocol. With this arrangement, the PIC may have the information nec

38、essary to route the call to the location designated by the 555 assignee, or the PIC could route the call to a designated switch in the terminating network. That switch may have the information necessary to route the call to a location designated by the 555 assignee. 7.5 Additional Considerations In

39、areas where 555 service is offered, any arrangements currently employed by carriers which only allows calls to (NPA) 555-1212 and blocks all other (NPA) 555-XXXX calls to Directory Assistance, or routes all NPA 555-XXXX calls to DA, regardless of the “555” line number dialed, will need to be removed

40、 if completion of calls to other 555 numbers is desired. Finally it should be recognized that any implementation of routing for 555 calls must retain the current disposition of calls dialed (1) + (NPA) 555-1212. These calls will continue to be routed to the originating service provider, PIC of the c

41、alling line or the (10XXX/101XXXX) designated carrier. It should be further recognized that support of multiple technical service interconnection arrangements for 555 could have extensive technical network impacts and may not be practical or feasible for all network providers. 8 Glossary This sectio
