ITU-T H.248.62 (06/2008) i Recommendation ITU-T H.248.62 Gateway control protocol: Re-answer package Summary Re-answer call is a particular channel associated signalling (CAS) service, which is deployed in some networks, e.g., in China and Indonesia. If a media gateway (MG) interconnects with such

8、 CAS equipment, it cannot support the re-answer service without the additions defined in the re-answer package. In the re-answer package, the re-answer event and the procedures on how to use this event are defined. Source Recommendation ITU-T H.248.62 was approved on 13 June 2008 by ITU-T Study Grou

9、p 16 (2005-2008) under Recommendation ITU-T A.8 procedure. ii Rec. ITU-T H.248.62 (06/2008) FOREWORD The International Telecommunication Union (ITU) is the United Nations specialized agency in the field of telecommunications, information and communication technologies (ICTs). The ITU Telecommunicati

10、on Standardization Sector (ITU-T) is a permanent organ of ITU. 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 Assembly (W

11、TSA), which meets every four years, establishes the topics for study by the ITU-T study groups which, in turn, produce Recommendations on these topics. The approval of ITU-T Recommendations is covered by the procedure laid down in WTSA Resolution 1. In some areas of information technology which fall

12、 within ITU-Ts purview, the necessary standards are prepared on a collaborative basis with ISO and IEC. NOTE In this Recommendation, the expression “Administration“ is used for conciseness to indicate both a telecommunication administration and a recognized operating agency. Compliance with this Rec

13、ommendation is voluntary. However, the Recommendation may contain certain mandatory provisions (to ensure e.g., interoperability or applicability) and compliance with the Recommendation is achieved when all of these mandatory provisions are met. The words “shall“ or some other obligatory language su

14、ch as “must“ and the negative equivalents are used to express requirements. The use of such words does not suggest that compliance with the Recommendation is required of any party. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS ITU draws attention to the possibility that the practice or implementation of this Recomme

15、ndation may involve the use of a claimed Intellectual Property Right. ITU takes no position concerning the evidence, validity or applicability of claimed Intellectual Property Rights, whether asserted by ITU members or others outside of the Recommendation development process.

ITU-T H.248.62 (06/2008) Introduction In some network architectures where the channel associated signalling (CAS) equipment, such as the public switched telephone network (PSTN), which supports CAS signalling systems (e.g., such as SS R5), ar

20、e connected to 3G, public land mobile network (PLMN), next generation network (NGN) circuit-switched (CS) core network domains, the bearer between the media gateway (MG) and the CAS equipment can be time division multiplexing (TDM), as shown in Figure 1. When an NGN user (the caller, such as a mobil

21、e terminal) makes a call to a CAS user (the callee, such as a telephone subscriber), and the call enters the session state, the CAS user cannot initiate a re-answer call after the hook-on operation is done. The primary reason is that the re-answer signal information cannot be transferred to the MGC

22、depending on the current interface between the MG and the media gateway controller (MGC). However, the re-answer call function is required sometimes. Rec. ITU-T H.248.62 (06/2008) 1 Recommendation ITU-T H.248.62 Gateway control protocol: Re-answer package 1 Scope This Recommendation defines an H.248

23、 package in order to request the MG to detect re-answer line signal on a particular TDM termination which supports CAS signalling, and to notify the MGC when the signal is detected. The re-answer capability supplements the basic call service and belongs, thus, to a supplementary service. Such a supp

24、lementary service was supported in legacy PSTN, leading to particular call control signalling information elements at the network-to-network (NNI) interface, such as CAS-based NNIs or CCS-based NNIs (e.g., SS7 telephone user part; TUP according to ITU-T Q.723, ITU-T Q.724). This H.248 package allows

25、 the support of emulation of such a service in NGN environments (like e.g., a PSTN emulation subsystem).

Figure 1 Logical network architecture 1.1 Applicability The application of the re-answer package is limited on H.248 TDM terminations controlled via CAS or SS7 TUP call control signalling. 1.2 Difference between “answer

27、“ and “re-answer“ signals The semantic difference is indicated by the signal definitions in clauses 3.1.1 and 3.1.2. The syntactical difference is dependent on the encoding format of the correspondent call control signalling protocol. 2 References The following ITU-T Recommendations and other refere

37、tive call phase, i.e., after the caller and the callee enter the speech state, as follows: Figure 2 Example of re-answer call procedure The caller starts a delay timer to wait for the caller to hook on after the callee hooked on, during this time the line (see Note) between the caller and the callee

38、 is kept. If the callee hooks off before the timer expires, the caller can talk with the callee again, and the timer is cancelled. NOTE “Line“ relates to the H.248 context in the MG with the H.248 TDM termination serving as the “line“. Such a type of functionality is optional but is required sometim

39、es according to related call configurations. In some network architectures, such as Figure 1, the CAS equipment access NGN CS core networks, the CAS protocol applied between the MG and the CAS equipment can be the international signalling system R2 protocol, and so on. The MG receives the CAS signal

40、s sent by 4 Rec. ITU-T H.248.62 (06/2008) the CAS equipment, which are subsequently interpreted and reported to the MGC through the H.248 protocol interface, such as sz, sza events in the bcas package ITU-T H.248.25. However, the re-answer signal sent by the CAS equipment cannot be transferred to th

41、e MGC depending on the existing interface between the MG and the MGC. Therefore, the CAS user, as a callee, cannot initiate a re-answer call after the hook on/off operation is done, as in Figure 2, and such a type of call functionality is required sometimes, even if the MG can detect a re-answer lin

42、e signal over the TDM interface. The package in this Recommendation provides a mechanism for the MGC to request the MG to detect the re-answer signal. The MGC can then perform subsequent processing after the re-answer signal is reported to the MGC. It is assumed that the MG has the ability to detect

43、 the re-answer signal on the TDM interface. 7 Re-answer package Package name: Re-answer package Package ID: ra (0x00e2) Description: This package defines an event to enable re-answer functionality for physical terminations which support CAS protocols. Once the event is reported, the MGC may initiate

Version: 1 Extends: None 7.1 Properties None. 7.2 Events 7.2.1 Re-answer Event name: Re-answer Event ID: ra (0x0001) Description: This event applies to an outgoing interface, and is reported when a “Re-answer“ line signal occurs on the termination. The eve

45、nt is reported by the MG if either the timed transition to this line signal is detected or the line signal already exists. The condition against which the signal is verified is provisioned in the MG. 7.2.1.1 EventsDescriptor parameters None. 7.2.1.2 ObservedEventsDescriptor parameters None. 7.3 Sign

It should be noted that the caller side illustrated in Figure 3 means a TDM termination on the MG, but actually

47、 it may be a mobile terminal of the NGN radio network. This figure only shows the simple interactions between the MGC/MG in NGN CS core network and the CAS equipment, and the details depend on the implementation. Figure 3 Re-answer call procedure 7.6.2 Individual procedural steps P1, P2: When a call

48、 is initiated by the NGN side, the MGC interacts with the MG over the H.248 interface, and the MG interacts with the CAS equipment over CAS signalling interface (using, e.g., packages of ITU-T H.248.25). In procedure P1, the MGC should perform an H.248 ADD.req or MOD.req on the MGs TDM termination,

49、with event Re-answer (ra) to request the MG to detect the re-answer signal that may occur in subsequent call procedures. P3: When the callee is found available, the callee rings until the callee performs a hook-off operation, then the call between the caller and the callee enters speech state after the appropriate P1 and P2 procedures. P4: A hook-on backward signal is sent to the MG as the signal is detected on the callee side. P5: The MG subsequently performs an H.248 NOT.req command on the TDM termination, with event Clear Back (
