2、 FOREWORD The Telecommunication Standardization Sector (IT-T) is a permanent organ of the International Telecom- munication Union. 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

3、worldwide basis. The World Telecommunication Standardization Conference (WTSC), which meets every four years, established the topics for study by the ITU-T Study Groups which, in their turn, produce Recommendations on these topics. IT-T Recommendation Q.521 was revised by the IT-T Study Group XI (19

4、88-1993) and was approved by the WTSC (Helsinki, March 1-12, 1993). NOTES 1 As a consequence of a reform process within the International Telecommunication Union (ITU), the CCIT ceased to exist as of 28 February 1993. In its place, the ITU Telecommunication Standardization Sector (ITU-T) was created

5、 as of 1 March 1993. Similarly, in this reform process. the CCIR and the IFFU3 have been replaced by the Radiocommunication Sector. In order not to delay publication of this Recommendation, no change has been made in the text to references containing the acronyms “CCIT, CCIR or IFRB” or their associ

11、Recommendation Q.521 DIGITAL EXCHANGE FUNCTIONS (Melbourne 1988, modified at Helsinki, 1993) 1 General This Recommendation applies to digital local, combined, transit and international exchanges for telephony in Integrated Digital Networks (IDN) and mixed (analogue/digital) networks and also to loca

12、l, combined, transit and international exchanges in an Integrated Services Digital Network (ISDN). The field of application of this Recommendation is more fully defined in Recommendation 4.500. Some text may only apply to a certain type (types) of exchange, e.g. digital transit, local or combined. W

13、here this occurs, the application is defined in the text. Not all the recommended functions will necessarily be provided in every exchange. 2 Exchange functions - Introduction and framework 2.1 General The purpose of this Recommendation is to specifically address those functions required to support

14、basic and supplementary services in performing this test, this Recommendation takes account of the principles set down in Recommendation 1.310 and draws a clear distinction between services and the exchange capabilities required to support them. It should be noted that the list of functions identifi

15、ed in this Recommendation is not necessarily extensive. 2.2 Exchange model The functions described in this and associated Recommendations can be considered within the framework of an exchange functional model. Such a model is shown in Figure 1. This divides the exchange into three functional areas a

16、s follows: a) control functions - Those functions required to control services and connections, e.g. signalling, routing and connectionhesources handling functions; connection functions - Those functions directly related to the connection path through an exchange, i.e. switching and transmission mec

17、hanism (including ET); operation and maintenance functions - Those functions of an operational, management and maintenance nature which are not employed for call establishment and supervisory purposes, e.g. test functions. b) c) The exchange functional model shown in Figure 1 is appropriate to excha

18、nges operating in an IDN and also those operating in an IDN which is evolving towards an ISDN. In terms of this Recommendation, most of the functions fall within the control functions area. Connection functions are primarily covered in Recommendation 4.522, These address the basic switch characteris

19、tics of different connection types. OA b) c) the appropriate type of connection is established by use of the ConnectiodResources Handling Functions; Supplementary Services which involve additional functions and information flows beyond those required for bearer services, are provided under the contr

20、ol of logic residing in the Service Processing Function. This logic is designed to provide specific services. Corresponding service/feature capabilities must also reside in the Signalling and ConnectiodResources Handling Functions. In addition to services provided by use of logiddata residing in the

21、 exchange, some services may be provided under the control of logic located at separate specialized nodes (Service Control Points). Also, data required or process certain service requests may be kept in a remote data base accessed by use of the Signalling Function. 3 General functions required in an
