3、-02 16,41 . Brief History This Standard is one of a series of ECMA Standards defining the interworking of services and signalling protocols deployed in corporate telecommunication networks (CNs). The series uses telecommunication concepts as developed by ITU-T and conforms to the framework of Intern

4、ational Standards on Open Systems Interconnection as defined by ISO/IEC. It has been produced under ETSI work item DTS/ECMA-00216. This particular Standard defines the signalling protocol interworking for basic services between a Private Integrated Services Network (PISN) and a packet-based private

5、telecommunications network based on the Internet Protocol (IP). It is further assumed that the protocol for the PISN part is that defined for the Q reference point (QSIG) and that the protocols for the IP-based network are based on ITU-T Recommendation H.323. This Standard is based upon the practica

6、l experience of ECMA member companies and the results of their active and continuous participation in the work of ISO/IEC JTC1, ITU-T, ETSI and other international and national standardization bodies. It represents a pragmatic and widely based consensus. This ECMA Standard is contributed to ISO/IEC

7、JTC1 under the terms of the fast-track procedure, for adoption as an ISO/IEC International Standard. This ECMA Standard has been adopted by the General Assembly of December 2001. - i - Table of contents 1 Scope 1 2 Conformance 1 3 References 1 4 Definitions 2 4.1 External definitions 2 4.2 Other def

15、 signalling protocol that operates at the Q reference point between Private Integrated services Network eXchange (PINX) within a Private Integrated Services Network (PISN). The Q reference point is defined in ECMA-133. A PISN provides circuit-switched basic services and supplementary services to its

16、 users. QSIG is specified in other ECMA Standards, in particular ECMA-143 (call control in support of basic services). “H.323” is a set of signalling protocols for the support of voice or multimedia communication within a packet network, in particular a packet network that uses the Internet Protocol

17、 (IP) as its network layer protocol (IP network). H.323 signalling protocols operate between endpoints in an IP network, either indirectly via one or more gatekeepers, or directly. An endpoint can be a terminal or a gateway to another network. H.323 is an “umbrella” recommendation referring to vario

18、us ITU-T recommendations, in particular recommendations H.225.0 and H.245 (basic communication capabilities). This Standard specifies signalling interworking for basic services that provide a bidirectional transfer capability for speech, DTMF, facsimile and modem media between a PISN employing QSIG

19、and a private IP network employing H.323. This Standard specifies requirements for establishing user information (audio) connections between the PISN and the IP network, but protocols for transmitting audio in the IP network and for signalling in order to establish and close down audio transmission

20、in the IP network are outside the scope of this Standard. Supplementary services are outside the scope of this Standard. Interworking between QSIG and H.323 permits a call originating at a user of a PISN to terminate at a user of a private IP network, or a call originating at a user of a private IP

21、network to terminate at a user of a PISN. Interworking between a PISN employing QSIG and a public IP network employing H.323 is outside the scope of this Standard. However, the functionality specified in this Standard is in principle applicable to such a scenario when deployed in conjunction with ot

22、her relevant functionality (e.g., number translation, security functions, etc.). Although two such gateways can operate as peers on either side of an IP network (whereby the IP network provides interconnection between two PISNs), special support for this situation (e.g., tunnelling of QSIG informati

23、on through the IP network) is outside the scope of this Standard. Although two such gateways can operate as peers on either side of a PISN (whereby the PISN provides interconnection between two IP networks), special support for this situation (e.g., tunnelling of H.323 information through the PISN)

24、is outside the scope of this Standard. This Standard is applicable to any interworking unit that can act as a gateway between a PISN employing QSIG and a private IP network employing H.323. 2 Conformance In order to conform to this Standard, a gateway shall satisfy the requirements identified in the

36、g aspects of a gateway between a PISN employing QSIG signalling and an IP network employing H.323 signalling. The gateway appears as a PINX to other PINXs in the PISN. The gateway appears as an H.323 endpoint to other H.323 entities in the IP network, these being: other endpoints (terminals, gateway

37、s or multipoint control units) that originate calls via the gateway to the PISN and terminate calls via the gateway from the PISN; gatekeepers, including the gatekeeper with which the gateway registers and other gatekeepers involved in call routing. This environment is illustrated in figure 1. IP ne

38、twork PISNInter-PINX linkGatewayPINXEnd-pointEnd-pointGate-keepersPINXPINXFigure 1 - Environment In addition to the signalling interworking functionality specified in this Standard, it is assumed that the gateway also includes the following functionality: one or more physical interfaces on the PISN

39、side supporting one or more inter-PINX links, each link providing one or more constant bit rate channels for media information and a reliable layer 2 connection for transporting QSIG signalling messages; and one or more physical interfaces on the IP network side supporting, through layer 1 and layer

40、 2 protocols, IP as the network layer protocol and UDP and TCP as transport layer protocols, these being used for the transport of media information and H.323 signalling protocols; a means of transferring media information in each direction between the PISN and the IP network, including, as a minimu

41、m, packetization of media information sent to the IP network and de-packetization of media information received from the IP network. NOTE The gateway can be decomposed as described in 6.3.1 of H.323. In this case, the signalling interworking aspects of the gateway, as specified in this Standard, can

42、 be expected to reside in the Media Gateway Controller (MGC). The protocol model relevant to signalling interworking functionality of a gateway is shown in figure 2. - 4 - IP networklower layersUDP/TCPPISNIP networkInterworkingfunctionH.225.0RASH.225.0callcontrolH.245IPQSIGlayer 3PISN lowerlayersFig

43、ure 2 Protocol model The relevant signalling protocols on the IP network side of the gateway are: H.225.0 Registration, Admission and Status (RAS); H.225.0 call control, for the purpose of establishing and clearing down sessions between endpoints; and H.245, for the purpose of supervising resources

44、during a session. The interworking function therefore provides interworking between QSIG on the PISN side and H.225.0 RAS, H.225.0 call control and H.245 on the IP network side. 7 General requirements In order to conform to this Standard, a gateway shall support QSIG in accordance with ECMA-143 and

45、shall support H.323 in accordance with H.323 version 4 or later (including H.225.0 version 4 or later and H.245 version 7 or later). The gateway shall be able to interoperate with other H.323 entities in accordance with the provisions of H.323 version 4. The gateway shall support calls from QSIG to

46、an H.323 endpoint and calls from an H.323 endpoint to QSIG. The gateway shall be able to discover and register with a gatekeeper. The means of doing this is outside the scope of this Standard, but should be in accordance with H.323 RAS procedures. The procedures specified in this Standard for call e

47、stablishment apply after successful registration. The gateway may also be able to operate without registering with a gatekeeper. In this case the means by which the gateway maps QSIG numbers to IP addresses for routing calls from QSIG to an H.323 endpoint is outside the scope of this Standard. For o

48、peration with a gatekeeper, the gateway shall be able to employ admission and disengage procedures. The gateway may support pre-granted admission procedures. For operation with a gatekeeper, the gateway shall be able to support both direct call signalling and gatekeeper-routed call signalling. Unles

49、s pre-granted admission procedures apply, choice of call signalling method shall be in accordance with instructions from the gatekeeper at the time of admission. 8 Message mapping requirements 8.1 Message validation and handling of protocol errors The gateway shall validate received QSIG messages in accordance with the requirements of ECMA-143 and shall act in accordance with ECMA-143 on detection of a QSIG protocol error. The gateway shall validate received H.225.0 messages in accordance with the requirements of ITU-T recommendation H.323 and H.225.0 and sh
