The information and advice in the present document applies primarily to TIPHON Scenarios O (ali IP) and 2 (SCN to IP) but there are additional comments about Scenario 3 (SCN to IP to SCN). NOTE: The E. 164 number will normally be presented as the calling number i

14、n the Caiiing Line Identity which is relevant to Scenario 1 (IP to SCN) but this is not a major influence on the choice of E. 164 number. 2 References The following documents contain provisions which, through reference in this text, constitute provisions of the present document. 41 Pl References are

21、 the second phase of the development of VoIP, use in corporate networks being the first phase. Numbering becomes a significant issue when the network termination point is implemented in IP technology and the transition from the traditional Switched Circuit Network technology occurs within or between

22、 public networks. ITU-T Recommendation E. 164 describes the “Intemational Public Telecommunications Numbering Plan“. ITU-T allocates codes to: - countries and geographical regions; - global services; - “Networks“ that share a global code. Numbering within countries and geographical regions (e.g. Nor

23、th America) is managed by the national administration or numbering authority. The numbering space after the country code is subdivided into: - national destination code; - subscriber number. In practice, the national destination code may be used for: - a geographical area (e.g. a city); - aservicety

24、pe; - a network (e.g. a particular mobile network). The lengths of the national numbers and their constirnent parts vary from country to country. Not ail service types may be callable from outside the couny concerned. ETSI STD-ETSI TR 101 327-ENGL 1999 a 3400855 O467037 337 W 7 ETSI TR 101 327 Vl.l.

25、1 (1999-11) 4.2 Basic principles The approach to numbering varies from country to country and is heavily influenced by historical arrangements, but many numbering authorities follow the following principles: - the caller should be able to discern some tariff information from the early part of the nu

26、mber and should be able easily to identify numbers where the tariff is high; - numbers should be allocated on the basis of: - servicetype; - - tarifflevel. geographical location; and / or and not on the basis of technology. Many national regulations are written with reference to services and are des

27、igned to be technology independent at least to a first approximation. With the introduction of competition, many national authorities impose requirements for operatorhervice provider number portability so that customers numbers may be transferred between operators andor service providers when custom

28、ers change their account. Requirements for number portability between operators are inherently incompatible with identiQing a network operator in the initial part of a international or national number. Where numbers ranges have been or are allocated initially to network operators for subsequent sub-

29、allocation of individual numbers to customers and portability is introduced, then the relationship between the number range and the operator is broken and the number range is no longer a precise indicator of the operator. The need for callers to be able to discern some tariff idomation from numbers

30、imposes constraints on the use of numbers and reduces the efficiency of the use of numbers. in the longer term it may not be possible to maintain this information, and it may be desirable to remove this constraint, in which case other adequate forms of tariff transparency for callers may be needed.

31、4.3 Relationship of numbering to VolP VoIP is a technology that may be used to provide various different services. These services include: - the intemational telephony service such as is also provided by the PSTN and ISDN and conforms to ITU-T Recommendation E.105 2, where there will normally be som

32、e location information within the national number; national services that do not indicatalocation but have special tariff arrangements such as: - Ereephone; - - localtariff; - nationaltariff; - premium rate. - national services with special features such as Universal Personal Telecommunications (UPT

33、); - international services such as universal freephone (+800 . . . .) and UPT. Since numbering is normally related primarily to services rather than technology, this means that there is no single numbering arrangement for VoIP technology. The numbering options, and the choice from these options, sh

34、ould be determined by the service that is to be provided. 8 ETSI TR 101 327V1.1.1 (1999-11) 5 Choosing a numbering option 5. I The steps There are two steps to choosing a numbering option: Step 1: Find out what numbering options are available for the service that you plan to provide. This involves c

35、ontacting your national numbering authority to find out their policies for allocating number ranges to services. For international services it may involve discussions with the ITU-T secretariat. Evaluate the options and select the most suitable one. Step 2: 5.2 Factors in evaluating options 5.2. I T

36、he customers and callers perspectives Options should be evaluated from the perspective of customers who will be identified by a number from the range allocated. These customers will be concerned with the perception that potential callers will obtain from the number. Care should be taken to evaluate

37、likely misconceptions as well as correct deductions. For example: - callers could be deterred from calling a number that has always to be diailed in the national or intemational format even if there is a special tariff that is low, because the callers mistakenly believe the tariff to be higher than

38、it is; callers may be confused about the tariffs in some areas of the numbering plan and so may avoid calling all numbers in that range (This may be either a result of the historical development of the numbering plan or an oversight by the regulator. The situation should not arise in theory but may

39、do in practice). - 5.2.2 Service or tariff recognition If the customer who is allocated the number wants the caller to recognize a particular existing service or tariff range, then preference should be given to the well established and most widely recognized ranges. New ranges are less likely to be

40、recognized until there has been sufficient advertising and branding. 5.2.3 Cali barring Some companies and some residential users bar calls to national or international format numbers. Customers may wish to have numbers that can be dialled in the most local format available because otherwise some po

41、tential callers will be barred from calling them. 5.2.4 Accessibility Although the ITU-T and most countries provide rules for opening access to new codes, in practice not all operators follow these rules and there may be delays before all the potential callers who should be able to gain connection t

42、o a given number are able to do so. Operators should ensure that adequate advance notification is given of new number ranges and allocations.

43、erators is relevant to geographic, non-geographic and mobile services. Many regulators require operator portability to be provided for some services or number ranges. Market entrants who use VoIP may be very concerned to obtain number allocations that look as similar as possible those used by SCN ne

44、tworks and to obtain the number Portability from existing operators. This may be essential in order to compete for customers from the existing networks. The market entrants may, in turn, have to offer portability from their network to other operators. The main ETSI documents on number portability ar

47、of numbers in some countries may be scarce and the introduction of VoIP technology may lead to many new applications for number blocks, especially for geographic numbers. National numbering authorities need to plan for this potential increase in demand in order to avoid shortages. 6.3 Carrier se I e

48、ct i o n Although not a pure numbering issue, operators who wish to provide services to customers who are connected to other access networks (TIPHON Scenario 3) need to obtain a carrier selection code from the national authority so that callers can select their network. in some countries, it may be

49、possible for callers to have cher pre-selection where the access provider registers their choice of long distance or international cher and routes all calls that do not have call-by-call selection in accordance withthis choice. Further information is given in TR 101 092: Report on carrier selection 4.
