6、 ITU-T Recommendation Q.734 (Previously “CCITT Recommendation”) COPYRIGHT International Telecommunications Union/ITU TelecommunicationsLicensed by Information Handling ServicesFOREWORD The ITU Telecommunication Standardization Sector (ITU-T) is a permanent organ of the International Telecom- municat

7、ion 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 worldwide basis. The World Telecommunication Standardization Conference (WTSC), which meets every four years, establishe

8、d the topics for study by the ITU-T Study Groups which, in their turn, produce Recommendations on these topics. ITU-T Recommendation Q.734, clauses 1 and 2, was prepared by the ITU-T Study Group XI (1988-1993) and was approved by the WTSC (Helsinki, March 1-12, 1993). NOTES 1 As a consequence of a r

9、eform process within the International Telecommunication Union (ITU), the CCITT ceased to exist as of 28 February 1993. In its place, the ITU Telecommunication Standardization Sector (ITU-T) was created as of 1 March 1993. Similarly, in this reform process, the CCIR and the IFRB have been replaced b

10、y 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 “CCITT, CCIR or IFRB” or their associated entities such as Plenary Assembly, Secretariat, etc. Future editions of this Recommendation w

16、ServicesRecommendation Q.734 STAGE 3 DESCRIPTION FOR MULTIPARTY SUPPLEMENTARY SERVICES USING SS No. 7 (Helsinki, 1993) 1 Conference calling 1.1 Definition conference calling (CONF) is an ISDN supplementary service which allows a user to communicate simultaneously with multiple parties, which may als

17、o communicate among themselves. 1.2 Description 1.2.1 General description This supplementary service provides a user with the ability to have multi-connection call, i.e. a simultaneous communication between more than two parties. When conference calling is invoked, the conference resources (e.g. a “

18、bridge”) are allocated to the served user and any calls indicated by the service request are allocated to the conference. This description is only applicable in case the conference bridge is located at the local exchange of the served user. Once a conference is active, parties may be added, dropped,

19、 isolated (i.e. prevented from communicating with the conference), reattached or split (i.e. removed from the conference but remain connected to the conference controller). The controller can place her/his connection to the conference on hold, retrieve the conference, disconnect herself/himself from

20、 the conference and release the entire conference. The stage 1 definition for the conference calling supplementary service is given in Recommendation 1.254.1. The stage 2 description for the conference calling supplementary service is given in Recommendation Q.84.1. The stage 3 DSS 1 description is

21、given in Recommendation Q.954.1. This stage 3 description of the conference calling supplementary service uses ISDN user part protocol as defined in Recommendations Q.761-Q.764 and Q.730. 1.2.2 Specific terminology Served user - The user which requests the conference call. The served user will be th

22、e user controlling the conference call. The served user may also be referred to as user A. Conferee - The users involved in the conference not controlling the conference, i.e. all participants except the served user are referred to as conferees or parties. The conferees may also be known as users B,

23、 C, . . . Isolate - An action at the access that restricts communication in both direction with a participant of the conference. Reattach - An action at the access that re-establishes the communication with a participant of the conference. Split - An action at the access that creates a private commu

24、nication between the served user and a remote user. The private communication is a normal “two-party” call. Drop - An action at the access that clears the connection to a remote party. Floating - The situation where the conference calling supplementary service exist without the served user. Recommen

31、 and operation 1.5.2.1 Actions at the originating local exchange In this case, the originating exchange is the exchange where the service is controlled. The originating exchange for this service is not necessarily the originating exchange for basic call. 1.5.2.1.1 Normal operation 1.5.2.1.1.1 Requir

32、ements related to echo control a) General The originating local exchange where the conference bridge is located should have the capability to invoke echo control procedures. This is necessary in case the total propagation delay for two legs in the conference is above the value where echo control is

33、necessary (ref. 2.6/Q.764). The exchange must also have the capability of storing propagation delay information received either in a received IAM (for incoming calls) or in ANMICON (for outgoing calls) until call release. This must be done for all legs included in the conference. Criteria to initiat

34、e echo control procedures Upon adding a new call to the conference, the received propagation delay value related to this leg shall be added to each of the other legs to decide whether echo control apply for the legs concerned. b) If echo control is necessary, the exchange will initiate echo control

35、procedures for each of the legs concerned. (2.7/Q.764). 1.5.2.1.1.2 Requesting a conference from an active call and adding conferees Upon successful request to begin the conference from an active call, user B participating in the active call will be added to the conference. A notification “conferenc

36、e established” shall be sent to user B informing that a connection to the conference is now established. The notification is conveyed in a call progress message (CPG). Upon request to add a new conferee (user C) to the conference, a check is performed whether or not the maximum number of conferees i

37、s reached for that conference. Upon the successful outcome of the add-on request, a notification “conference established” is sent to user C informing that connection to the conference is now established. The notification is conveyed in a CPG message. A notification “other party added” is sent in a C

38、PG message towards all the non-affected conferees informing them that a new party is added to the conference call. 1.5.2.1.1.3 Isolate a party The conference controller may request to isolate one conferee from the conference. The conferee is still connected to the conference, but communication in ei

39、ther direction is impossible. A notification “isolated” is sent to the affected conferee informing that he/she is isolated from the conference. The notification is conveyed in a CPG message. A notification “other party isolated” is sent within a CPG message towards all the non-affected conferees inf

40、orming them that one party is isolated from the conference. Recommendation Q.734 (03/93) 3 COPYRIGHT International Telecommunications Union/ITU TelecommunicationsLicensed by Information Handling Services1.5.2.1.1.4 Reattach a party The conference controller may request to reattach the isolated confe

41、ree to the conference. A notification “reattached” is sent to the affected conferee informing that he/she is reattached to the conference. The notification is conveyed in a CPG message. A notification “other party reattached” is sent within a CPG message towards all the non-affected conferees inform

42、ing them that the isolated party is now reattached to the conference call. 1.5.2.1.1.5 Split a party The conference controller may request to create a private communication with one of the conferees (splitting). A notification “conference disconnected” is sent to the affected conferee informing that

43、 he/she is connected to the conference controller only. The notification is conveyed in a ISUP CPG message. A notification “other party disconnected” is sent within a CPG message towards all the non-affected conferees informing them that the conference controller has split off with another party. 1.

44、5.2.1.1.6 Disconnect a party The conference controller may request to disconnect (drop) one or more of the parties on a one at a time basis. Normal release procedures apply towards the dropped conferee(s). A notification “other party disconnected” is sent within a CPG message towards all the non-aff

45、ected conferees informing them that another party is dropped from the conference. 1.5.2.1.1.7 Disconnect by a party A conferee may request to be disconnected from the conference call. Normal release procedure apply for the leg between the conferee and the conference bridge. A notification “Other par

46、ty disconnected” is sent within a CPG message towards all the non-affected conferees informing them that another party has disconnected from the conference. 1.5.2.1.1.8 Terminate the conference The conference controller may request to release the conference. The conference resources shall be release

47、d and normal release procedures apply towards all the conferees. 1.5.2.1.1.9 Disconnect the served user The conference controller may explicitly request to be disconnected from the conference. The conferees will still be connected to the conference. A notification “conference floating” is sent withi

48、n a CPG message towards all the conferees informing them that the conference is now within a floating state, i.e. no conference controller is connected to the conference. The conference resources shall be released when only one conferee is connected to the bridge or requirements for charging cannot

49、be met. Normal basic call release procedures apply towards the remaining conferee. 1.5.2.1.1.10 Call clearing by served user The conference controller may request to disconnect from the conference according to normal basic call procedure. If the conditions for floating are met the served user will be disconnected from the conference bridge, but the conferees will still be connected to the conference. A notification “conference floating” is sent within a call progress message towards all the conferees informing that the conference is now within a floating state, i.e. no conference control
