17、 T37 ISDN ISUP PLMN PSTN SS No. 7 TCAP UPT Integrated Services Digital Network ISDN User Part Public Land Mobile Networks Public Switched Telephone Network Signalling System No. 7 Transaction Capabilities Application Part Universal Personal Telecommunication 5 Introduction UPT represents an emerging
18、 telecommunications service concept which will provide personal mobility and associated service portability features across both fixed and wireless access types using the advances in network intelligence and signalling. The Intelligent Network (IN) will support the necessary database requirements an
19、d provide personal mobility and call, connection and service management functions for UPT. The Signalling System No. 7 (SS No. 7) network, with suitable application protocols for UPT, will provide the messaging backbone for UPT service. The scope of UPT includes provision of UPT service across multi
20、ple networks and different terminal types (fixed, mobile, portable). Thus, a UPT user can originate and receive calls, and access subscribed services in a network different from his home network, from a terminal designated by the user. The primary service and network aspects that will influence UPT
21、traffic performance and need to be considered in developing GOS parameters for UPT include: 0 the IN and database architectures deployed for mobility management; the access security arrangements for authenticatiodveification of UPT users; and o expected high penetration of wireless access in the net
22、work. 6 GOS issues for UPT 6.1 IN and database architecture considerations The initiai implementations of UPT can use simple database and signalling arrangements to provide personal mobility management functions within the current PSTNASDN capabilities. However, it is generally recognized that the e
23、volving IN architecture is well suited for supporting these functions for UPT. The key impact of IN architecture, in terms of database location and information sharing strategies, will be on the overall messaging traffic in the signalling network (SS No. 7 network) which in turn will be reflected in
24、 traffic performance parameters like post-selection delay and answer signal delay perceived by the user. UPT represents only one application (but an important one) within the common IN platform which will support a whole class of database-dependent services. Thus, UPT-related messages will constitut
25、e only a part of the messaging load on the signailing network. However, the traffk performance for UPT (e.g. post-selection delay for a UPT call) will be impacted by the total messaging load, as the UPT call related messages compete with other messages on the signalling network for common resources.
26、 To a large extent, the overall signalling network performance studies and their impact on UPT traffic performance standards will evolve within the framework of general IN architecture and performance studies. Recommendation E.723 contains the SS No. 7 reference connections and performance targets f
27、or basic ISDN circuit-switched services (ISUP). However, with the increasing penetration of IN services that require database look-up for number translation and/or other call screening purposes, new reference connection models that include the database query-response aspects are needed. 2 Recommenda
28、tion E.775 (02/96) ITU-T RECMNME.775 96 W 4862591 O636324 975 As mentioned earlier, the messaging load on the signalling network generated by the mobility management requirements for UPT will depend on the database location and information sharing strategy deployed in the network. The database archi
29、tecture could range from a single UPT database per network which is completely autonomous and does not share any of its information with other databases, to multiple UPT databases per network which share information with databases within a parent network as well as across other networks. The initial
30、 implementations (e.g. UPT Service Set 1) are expected to deploy centralized databases. 6.2 Access security requirements Security of access to UPT service through some form of PT-user authentication and verification procedure is required in order to protect the users resources or information from un
31、authorized persons (fraudulent use), or from unauthorized listening or recording of information (eavesdropping). The access security procedures thus minimize the probability of incorrect charging, malicious call redirection and ensure integrity of users information and privacy. The access security p
32、rocedures affect the UPT users perception of service and suitable performance measures are needed to design such procedures. The primary performance parameters/measures in this category are: 0 increased signalling network traffic load and resulting delay in call Set-up; false rejection rate; 0 impos
33、ter acceptance rate; and 0 user authenticationherifcation delay. The authenticationverification delay is defined as the time interval from the instant the UPT user starts the authentication process until the network communicates its final decision (acceptance or rejection) to the user. The authentic
34、ation delay will add to the pre-selection or post-selection delay perceived by the UPT user depending on whether the authentication precedes or follows a request for an outgoing call by the UPT user. In general there will be a trade-off between the false rejection (level of user annoyance) and impos
35、ter acceptance (breach of security) rates and also between the level of security (low imposter acceptance rate) and authentication delay. 6.3 Impact of wireless access arrangements UPT traffic GOS Recommendations address end-to-end delay and blocking performance. It is then necessary to include in t
36、he relevant considerations the contribution of delayhlocking in the access network. As UPT service evolves, an increasing number of UPT calls will originate from andor terminate on wireless terminals. It is therefore essential to include the additional delayhlocking contribution introduced by increa
37、sing penetration of mobile terminals and associated wireless access arrangements. Wireless access combined with the use of pocket-sized terminals is viewed as a major driver for personal communications and for providing an impetus for rapid growth in wireless access and terminals in the network. Inc
38、reased penetration of wireless access could impact end-to-end traffic performance perceived by WT users due to potentially different bandwidth and signalling capabilities associated with wireless access, as well as increased signalling traffic for terminal location and call handover requirements. Th
39、e emerging wireless access systems will be deploying, among others, smaller cell sizes than the current mobile systems. The smaller cell sizes will result in increased signalling network traffic due to more frequent location updates and call handovers. This potential increase in signalling load resu
40、lts from the terminal mobility management requirements of wireless access and needs to be factored in when setting the delay targets for personal mobility management messages for UPT. Recommendation E.775 (OY96) 3 ITU-T RECMN*E*775 96 W 4862.591 0636325 803 For the foreseeable future, many of the wi
41、reless applications (like cellular mobile) will have their own database arrangements to support terminal authentication and mobility functions (Authentication Centres, Home and Visitor Location Registers) which are independent of user authentication and personal mobility management for UPT. Separate
42、 user and terminal authentication will add to the overall delay perceived by the user. The traffic performance aspects of wireless access that will also contribute towards the overall UPT traffic performance include: o 0 increased signalling network traffic load and resulting delays in call Set-up;
43、additional delay in UPT user authentication introduced by the need for separate registratiodauthentication for wireless terminals; o call blocking due to radio channel unavailability; 0 call blockingkut-off due to failure of call handover between cells. 7 GOS parameter selection and allocation princ
44、iples The GOS parameters selection for networks supporting PT should take account of the fact that UPT service will be provisioned on such existing networks as PSTN, ISDN and PLMN. It should therefore draw on the GOS concepts for these networks (e.g. Recommendations E.720 and E.770) as well as the i
45、nfluencing factors for networks supporting UPT outlined in the preceding clause. Recommendations E.721 and E.771 address the GOS parameters and target values for ISDN and Land Mobile networks, respectively. For a UPT reference connection which includes both ISDN and Land Mobile networks, it is essen
46、tial that the proposed GOS for UPT is consistent with GOS specified in Recommendations E.721 and E.771. Further, within the signalling network, it may be desirable to partition the call Set-up delays between the delay for calllconnection Set-up (SS No. 7 ISUP component) and the delay for database access and interrogation (SS No. 7 TCAP component). 8 History Recommendation first published in 1996. 4 Recommendation E.775 (02/96) - ITU-T RECMN*E*7?5 96 4862593 0636326 748 M *7104* Printed in Switzerland Geneva, 1996
