18、cols applicable to Broadband Private Integrated Services Networks (B-PISNs). The series uses B-ISDN concepts as developed by ITU-T and conforms to the framework of International Standards for Open Systems Interconnection as defined by ISO/IEC. This particular International Standard specifies the Sig
19、nalling ATM Adaptation Layer (SAAL) protocol for use at the Q reference point (B-QSIG SAAL). 1 Scope This International Standard specifies the signalling ATM adaptation layer (SAAL) protocol used at the interface between Broadband PINXs and between Broadband PISNs within the framework of theB-QSIG s
20、ignalling system protocol family. The B-QSIG SAAL uses the functions provided by the ATM layer, and provides the services required by the B-QSIG Layer3 signalling protocols. 2 Conformance In order to conform to this International Standard, a PINX shall satisfy requirements identified in the Protocol

29、l for Broadband Inter-PINX signalling uses the services of the ATM layer and provides the services required by the B-QSIG Layer3 signalling protocols. It is based on the generic framework outlined by RecommendationsI.362 for the functional description of the AAL, and Q.2100for the signalling AAL spe
30、cification. The B-QSIG SAAL allows a B-QSIG SAAL user (i.e.a layer3 signalling protocol) to communicate with its peer entity. In particular, it provides for a reliable transfer of layer3 signalling messages. The information transfer between the B-QSIG SAAL user and the B-QSIG SAAL uses primitives an
31、d is performed in Message Mode. Two peer-to-peer operational procedures are specified: Unassured or Assured operation. The support of the Assured operation is mandatory. The support of Unassured operation is optional. NOTEThe use of unassured operation is not required by the B-QSIG layer3 signalling
32、 protocol. The basic structure of the B-QSIG SAAL is contained in Figure 1. For the B-QSIG SAAL,3 sublayers are defined similar to those shown in Figure 1 of Rec. Q.2100: SSCF for B-QSIG SSCOP Common Part AAL Type5. 6.1 Common Part AAL Type5 AAL Type5 provides transparent transfer and CRC checking(3
33、2Bits) for SSCOP SDUs, segmentation into ATM cells, and reassembly. 6.2 SSCOP SSCOP provides the basic mechanisms for the establishment and release of connections and the reliable exchange of information between B-PINX peer entities. 6.3 SSCF for Broadband Inter-PINX Signalling SSCF maps the particu
34、lar requirements of the Broadband Inter-PINX layer3 signalling protocols to the SSCOP services. 7 Operational Requirements B-QSIG SAAL requires that the following configuration information is available at both sides of an IPL (the method for making this information available for both peer entities i
35、s outside the scope of this International Standard): which virtual channel acts as the signalling channels for the IPL which traffic management method is applied on that virtual channel. 7.1 B-QSIG SAAL Connections The B-QSIG SAAL operates in a connection-oriented mode. The B-QSIG SAAL connection(s)
36、 shall be established as part of the IPL establishment, and shall reside permanently (except for error cases). NOTEB-QSIG SAAL connections are established between two peer entities at the two ends of an IPL. 7.2 Traffic Management Method for B-QSIG SAAL Connections For the operation of the B-QSIG SA
37、AL protocol, the peer entities at two ends of an IPL shall be pre-configured with the traffic resources allocated to the B-QSIG SAAL connections. For each B-QSIG SAAL connection (or for a set of them together), the following are examples of parameters that can be pre-configured (see also ITU-T Rec.I
38、.371): a) a peak cell rate indication (only), e.g.167 cells/sec. b) peak cell rate, sustainable cell rate, and maximum burst size (together) c) an indication as “unspecified bit rate” (UBR). The method of configuring the traffic resources allocated to the B-QSIG SAAL connection is outside the scope
39、of this International Standard. However, it is essential for the traffic management of B-QSIG SAAL connections that both peer entities at the IPL apply the same allocation of parameters. 8 B-QSIG SAAL Specification 8.1 Basic Structure Clause5 of ITU-T Rec. Q.2100applies. 8.2 AAL Type5 ITU-T Rec.1.36
40、3.5 applies. 8.3 SSCOP ITU-T Rec. Q.2110 applies. NOTEThe SSCOP can be combined with different Service Specific Coordination Functions (SSCFs) to offer different AAL services. As a result, the SSCOP specification defines mandatory functions for a general protocol. Some of these functions are not nee
41、ded within B-QSIG SAAL. Therefore, it is possible for an implementation not to implement a certain SSCOP function and still meet the mandatory requirements of B-QSIG SAAL (e.g.the SSCOP local data retrieval function is not needed within B-QSIG SAAL), provided that the SSCOP implementation provides f
42、or the services used by the B-QSIG SAAL-SSCF. A fully compliant SSCOP implementation according to ITU-T Rec. Q.2110meets the requirements for the SSCOP of this International Standard.BSISO/IEC13246:1997 BSI 04-1999 3 8.4 SSCF for Broadband Inter-PINX Signalling 8.4.1 SAAL Services Provided by the SS
43、CF forB-QSIG Signalling The following services shall be provided. Unless specified differently, they shall be provided as specified in clause5 of ITU-T Rec. Q.2130: assured transfer of data. transparency of transferred information. NOTEThe SSCF does not interpret the structure or meaning of SDUs; as
44、 a default, it supports the transfer of octet-aligned SDUs up to a maximum of4096 octets. establishment and release of B-QSIG SAAL connections for assured transfer of data. B-QSIG SAAL connections are established during IPL establishment, and reside permanently. However, in certain error scenarios,
45、the SSCF may release B-QSIG SAAL connections to recover from error situations. The following SAAL services may optionally be provided: unacknowledged transfer of data. The use of this service is not specified by the B-QSIG layer3 signalling protocol. 8.4.2 Functions of the SSCF and Signalling Protoc
46、ol Stack Clause6 of ITU-T Rec. Q.2130 applies with the following exception: only point-to-point B-QSIG SAAL connections shall be supported. In particular, B-QSIG SAAL shall not provide the broadcast capability described in clause6/Q.2130. 8.4.3 Definition of the Boundary of SSCF to B-QSIG-Layer3 Pro
47、tocols Clause7 of ITU-T Rec. Q.2130 applies with the following exceptions: The support of the AAL-UNITDATA primitive is not mandatory. The use of this primitive is not specified by B-QSIG layer3 signalling protocol. The support of layer3 peer-to-peer messages in the AAL-ESTABLISH and AAL-RELEASE pri
48、mitives is not mandatory. The use of those parameter data in these primitives is not specified by the B-QSIG layer3 signalling protocol. 8.4.4 Definition of the Boundary of SSCF with SSCOP Clause8 of ITU-T Rec. Q.2130 applies with the following exception: The support of the AA-UNITDATA primitive is
49、not mandatory. 8.4.5 State Transition Table of SSCF for Supporting B-QSIG Signalling Clause9 of ITU-T Rec. Q.2130 applies with the exceptions specified in sections8.4.3 and8.4.4 above. 8.4.6 Boundary to Layer Management No requirements have been identified. 8.4.7 Applicability of SSCOP Parameters and Timers to B-QSIG Signalling The values specified in Table 4 of ITU-TRec.
