The series uses B-ISDN concepts as developed by ITU-Tand conforms to the frame

4、work of International Standards for Open Systems Interconnection as defined by ISO/IEC.It has been produced under ETSI work item DEN/ECMA-00160.This particular Standard specifies the signalling protocol for use at the Q reference point for separated bearer control(B-QSIG-SBC).This Standard is based

5、upon the practical experience of ECMA member companies and the results of their active andcontinuous participation in the work of ISO/IEC JTC1, ITU-T, ETSI and other international and nationalstandardization bodies. It represents a pragmatic and widely based consensus.This Standard has been adopted

32、ayerSBC Separated Bearer ControlSDL Specification and Description Language6 Description6.1 Separation of call control and bearer controlThe protocol specified in this Standard is applicable to an environment in which the control of a call isseparate from the control of the bearer or bearers that exi

33、st within the context of that call.In order for two users to communicate using a telecommunication service, an association, or call, isestablished between the two users. Within the context of the call, one or more bearers can be establishedfor transporting user plane information between the users. H

34、owever, bearers are not normally establisheduntil the call has been accepted by the called terminal, and therefore resources required by bearers are notoccupied unnecessarily if the call cannot be established, e.g., if the called terminal is unable to accept thecall because resources are not availab

35、le. During the lifetime of the call, bearers can be added or cleareddown as required. The call is terminated by one of the two users when there is no further need forcommunication. Termination of the call implies that all bearers (if any) are cleared down.Although for some telecommunication services

36、 a single bearer is sufficient, other telecommunicationservices benefit from the use of multiple bearers; each tailored to suit the characteristics of the user planeinformation to be transported. This is particularly true for multi-media applications involving audio, videoand data. The call provides

37、 a context in which the various bearers can exist and a means of binding thebearers together.6.2 Relationship to call control architectureBearer control requires functionality, and hence a BC entity, at each terminal and at every network nodethrough which the bearer is routed. This is in contrast to

38、 call control, which involves a CC entity only atthe terminals and selected network nodes. Each bearer can be routed independently of other bearers andindependently of the routing of call control signalling associations. However, each bearer is required to berouted through each network node at which

39、 there is a CC entity, and hence have a BC entity at each ofthese nodes, so that the CC entity can manage the bearer if required. This is illustrated in Figure 1 and a- 4 -single bearer that has a BC entity collocated with each CC entity and an additional BC entity (e.g. at atransit node) located be

40、tween the second and third CC entities.Figure 1 - Relationship of call control and bearer control architectureNOTESignalling between CC entities is outside the scope of this Standard.6.3 Capabilities supported by this StandardThis Standard builds upon the capabilities in ECMA-266 to enable the separ

41、ate control of bearers beingassociated to a multiconnection call.6.4 General overviewThis Standard presents the procedures, messages and information elements needed for establishing,maintaining and clearing of bearer connections being associated to a point-to-point multiconnection call.After a multi

42、connection call has been initiated or has progressed to the active state, bearer connections canbe added to the call by individual bearer connection setup requests from the calling party or the calledparty, using the separated bearer control protocol specified in this Standard, which are based on th

43、eprocedures of ECMA-266. Each new connection setup request shall use a new call reference (see clause 9of ECMA-266). Bearers may be established or released from the multiconnection call at any time while notmodifying the call state. New connections can be established by the calling party or the call

44、ed party bysending a SETUP message as defined in ECMA-266, which in addition contains the Call associationinformation element in order to associate that bearer to the multiconnection call. The calling party or thecalled party can release connections from the call by sending a RELEASE message as defi

45、ned inECMA-266.The individual bearers are controlled independently. In particular multiple bearer connection establishmentrequests may be initiated in parallel (i.e. the requesting party does not need to wait for a response related toone bearer connection setup request before issuing another one). S

46、imilarly, multiple bearer connectionrelease requests may be pending at the same time (i.e. the requesting party does not need to wait for aresponse related to one release connection request before issuing the next one).Any ATM transfer capability available at the interface may be requested independe

47、ntly for each of thebearers associated to a multiconnection call, using appropriate basic call information elements (see clauses8.5.7 to 8.5.10 of ECMA-266). Furthermore, the ATM traffic parameter negotiation applies independentlyto each bearer at bearer establishment time using the procedures defin
