ITU-T Q.1990 (07/2001) i FOREWORD The International Telecommunication Union (ITU) is the United Nations specialized agency in the field of telecommunications. The ITU Telecommunication Standardization Sector (ITU-T) i

9、s 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 (WTSA), which meets every four years,

10、 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 within ITU-Ts purview, the necessa

11、ry 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 ITU draws attention to the pos

12、sibfity that the practice or implementation of this Recommendation 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

13、Recommendation development process. As of the date of approval of this Recommendation, ZTU had 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 represent the latest inform

The BICC bearer control tunnelling protocol

17、 is a generic tunnelling mechanism for the purpose of tunnelling Bearer Control Protocols (BCP) over the “horizontal“ BICC interface between CCUs and the “vertical“ CBC interface between CCU and BCU. This Recommendation defines the BICC bearer control tunnelling protocol, which transports the tunnel

18、led protocol data units (PDU) of the bearer control protocols supported. It describes the coding and procedures for the identification of the tunnelled bearer control protocol. This Recommendation references the specific bearer control protocols that are tunnelled. 2 References The following ITU-T R

25、enced, point-to-point signalling transport service between peer tunnelling PDU generating and receiving entities. This Recommendation supports the tunnelling of Bearer Control Protocols (BCP) over the following protocols: o BICC protocol. BICC tunnelling makes use of the BICC APM Mechanism, as defin

26、ed in CBC protocol. CBC tunnelling makes use of the H.248 tunnelling package, as defined in ITU-T 4.765.5 i and 6.4/Q.1902.4 2. o 6.9AQ.1950 3. The operation of the tunnelling mechanism is illustrated in Figure 1. Tunnel Figure llQ.1990 - Operation of the BCTP unneiiing mechanism 2 ITU-T Q.1990 (07/

Reference ITU-T Q. 1970 4 Table UQ.1990 - Supported bearer control protocols 6.2 Coding

28、of BCTP PDUs The bearer control tunnelling protocol has a binary encoded Protocol Control Information (PCI) field of 2 octets in front of every tunnelled BCP PDU. The first octet of the BCTP Indicator field contains a 1-bit BCTP Version Error Indicator (BVEI) field and a five-bit BCTP version indica

29、tor field. The second octet of the BCTP indicator field contains a 1-bit Tunnelled Protocol Error Indicator (TPEI) field and a six-bit tunnelled protocol indicator field. The format of the BCTP Indicator field is shown in Table 2. Table 214.1990 - BCTP Indicator field 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 Octets I O I BV

Bit No. 6 may be used to differentiate between the two cases, if needed. See for exa

33、mple Annex A.7/Q.1950: Bearer Control Tunnelling Package. The BCTP Version Error Indicator (BVEI) field is coded as follows: O No indication 1 Version Error Indication, BCTP version not supported The following codes are used in the BCTP Version Indicator field: 5 4321 o O000 o O001 spare o O010 not

34、used o O011 Version 1 of the BCTP protocol (this Recommendation) spare I to 11111 NOTE 2 - Bits 8 and 6 of BCTP indicator octet 1 always have the values “O“ and “l“, respectively. NOTE 3 - Bit 8 of BCTP indicator octet 2 always has the value “O“. 7 Procedures 7.1 Normal Procedures The Tunnelling PDU

35、 Generating Entity populates the BCTP Indicator with the appropriate value to describe the Bearer Control Protocol that is transported in the tunnel and it adds this BCTP Indicator in front of every outgoing PDU. The Tunnelled Protocol Error Indicator is set at the “No indication“ value. The BCTP Ve

36、rsion Indicator indicates the used version of the BCTP Protocol. The BCTP Version Error Indicator is set at the “No indication“ value. Every outgoing PDU shall have the BCTP Indicator field as its first two octets. Upon reception of a tunnelled PDU, the Tunnelling PDU Receiving Entity checks the val

37、ue of the version indicator is supported and then distributes the incoming PDU to the appropriate Bearer Control Protocol handling entity, after inspection and removal of the BCTP Indicator octets. 7.2 Abnormal procedures If the Tunnelling PDU Receiving Entity receives a tunnelled PDU with an unsupp

38、orted value of the BCTP Version Indicator: it generates a two-octet PDU back into the tunnel ody containing the BCTP Indicator field. The BCTP Version Error Indicator is set to the “Version Error Indication, BCTP version not supported“ value. The Tunnelled Protocol Indicator is set to the same value

39、 as the Tunnelled Protocol Indicator value received. The BCTP Version Indicator field contains the version number of the version supported; it sends this PDU back to the Tunnelling PDU Generating Entity that sent it; and 4 ITU-T Q.1990 (07/2001) it informs the control logic in the BIWF (Note). If th

40、e Tunnelling PDU Receiving Entity receives a tunnelled PDU with a known value of the BCTP Version Indicator, but an unknown value of the Tunnelled Protocol Indicator: it generates a two-octet PDU back into the tunnel only containing the BCTP Indicator field. The Tunnelled Protocol Error Indicator is

41、 set to the “Protocol Error Indication, bearer control protocol not supported“ value. The Tunnelled Protocol Indicator is set to the same value as the Tunnelled Protocol Indicator value received; it sends this PDU back to the Tunnelling PDU Generating Entity that sent it; and it informs the control

42、logic in the BIWF (Note). If the Tunnelling PDU Receiving Entity receives a tunnelled PDU with the Tunnelled Protocol Error Indicator value “Protocol Error Indication, Bearer Control Protocol not supported“, and/or if the Tunnelling PDU Receiving Entity receives a tunnelled PDU with the BCTP Version

43、 Error Indicator value “Version Error Indication, BCTP version not supported“: it informs the control logic in the BIWF (Note). NOTE - It is the responsibility of the control logic in the BIWF to take appropriate release actions. The error message in the CBC protocol that carries the tunnel shall ap

44、ply cause code “Interworking unspecified“. However, the control logic in the BIWF is out of the scope of this Recommendation. Procedures for version negotiation and protocol negotiation are for further study. 7.3 The tunnelling PDU generating entity shall police the maximum length of the tunnelled P

45、DUs in order to ensure that the maximum data transfer capabilities of the tunnelling mechanisms in BICC and CBC are not exceeded. These maximum transfer capabilities depend on the capabilities of the underlying signalling transport network supporting the BICC 2 and CBC 3 interfaces. Policing of maxi
