7、 store-and-forward service defined in Recommendation F.472 when operated and interconnected between service providers. It also addresses the elements of service offered by Voice-mail Store-and-Forward Units (Voice SFUS) to its direct user, a voice-mail system and between Voice SFs. This service is d

8、esigned to be implemented in conjunction with Recommendation F.472 which describes the voice-mail store-and-forward service.

9、ation F.471 (08/97) i - STD-ITU-T RECMN F-Li71-ENGL 1997 W ib2571 b38707 9b2 m FOREWORD ITU (International Telecommunication Union) is the United Nations Specialized Agency in the field of telecommuni- cations. The ITU Telecommunication Standardization Sector (ITU-T) is a permanent organ of the ITU.

10、 The ITU-T is responsible for studying technical, operating and tariff questions and issuing Recommendations on them with a view to standardizing telecommunications on a worldwide basis. The World Telecommunication Standardization Conference (WTSC), which meets every four years, establishes the topi

11、cs for study by the ITU-T Study Groups which, in their turn, produce Recommendations on these topics. The approval of Recommendations by the Members of the ITU-T is covered by the procedure laid down in WTSC Resolution No. 1. In some areas of information technology which fall within ITU-Ts purview,

12、the necessary standards are prepared on a collaborative basis with IS0 and IEC. NOTE In this Recommendation, the expression “Administration“ is used for conciseness to indicate both a telecommunication administration and a recognized operating agency. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS The ITU draws atten

13、tion to the possibility that the practice or implementation of this Recommendation may involve the use of a claimed Intellectual Property Right. The ITU takes no position concerning the evidence, validity or applicability of claimed Intellectual Property Rights, whether asserted by ITU members or ot

14、hers outside of the Recommendation development process. As of the date of approval of this Recommendation, the ITU hadhad not received notice of intellectual property, protected by patents, which may be required to implement this Recommendation. However, implementors are cautioned that this may not

15、represent the latest information and are therefore strongly urged to consult the TSB patent database. O ITU 1997 All rights reserved.

20、 REQUIREMENTS FOR THE INTERCONNECTION OF VOICE-MAIL STORE-AND-FORWARD UNITS (Geneva, 1997) 1 Scope This Recommendation describes the general principles and operational aspects of the voice-mail store-and-forward service defined in Recommendation F.472 when operated and interconnected between service

21、 providers. It also addresses the elements of service offered by Voice-mail Store-and-Forward Units (Voice SFs) to its direct user, a voice-mail system, and between Voice SFUs. This service is designed to be implemented in conjunction with Recommendation F.472 which describes the voice-mail store-an

However, other encodings may be used (e.g. Recommenda- tion G.728 LD-CELP) but conversion facilities to and from Recommendation G.726 must be provided as noted in 8.8. 7.4 Transit arrangements The use of transit service elements for message transfer is subject to agreement o

A Levei 1 for successful transfer shall only be returned when req

42、uested. The request shall be processed on a per recipient basis. An unsuccessful message transfer is indicated by the gederation of a negative Level 1 (there is no requirement for the generation of a negative Level 2 in this case). It shall be essential to return a Level 1 for unsuccessful transfer

43、on a per recipient basis. 8.7 Successful/unsuccessful message delivery notifications A positive Level 2 may indicate successful message delivery. It shall be returned to the originating Voice SF on a per recipient basis. A Level 2 for successful message delivery shall only be returned when requested

The request shall be processed on a per recipient basis. 8 Recommendation F.471 (08/97) STD.ITU-T RECMN F.471-ENGL 1777 LiBb2591 b38917 601 m A negative Level 2 may indicate unsuccessful message delivery. It shall be returned to the originating

45、Voice SF on a per recipient basis. Level 2 notifications shall be generated for any unsuccessful delivery. In the context of this service, message delivery occurs when the VMS accepts responsibility for the message. 8.8 Voice coding encoding conversion If a Voice SF supports voice coding encoding ot

46、her than the default format defined in 7.3 (see Recommenda- tion G.726), then the Voice SFU must support conversion between the default encoding and the other supported voice coding formats. Transfer of the message in other encoding is by bilateral agreement only. 9 Quality of service The quality of

47、 the subject voice encoded messages received from the originating VM S&F service should not be adversely affected by any intermediary or delivering Voice SF, transfer service, or intermediary VM S&F service through which the message may pass. The quality of the voice message as received from the ori

48、ginating voice-mail system should not be adversely affected by any Voice SFU, transit facility, or any transmission service between Voice SFus through which the voice-mail message may pass. 9.1 Objectives The following quality of service objectives are defined for messages passed across the internat

49、ional boundary for delivery by a destination Voice SF. The overall service delivery objectives are specified in Table 2. In order that the destination Voice SF is able to meet the objectives as stated in Table 2, the originating Voice SFU should transfer the message according to the objectives illustrated in Figure 3 and described in Table 5. The objectives for time, TA, TB, TI, T2 and “3 should be met for at least 95% of messages (during any one-hour period) 95% of the time. The number of attempts to deliver a message to the destination termina
