2、T RECMN*Q.b02 93 Li8b2592 0585805 089 FOREWORD The ITU 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
3、 to standardizing telecommunications on a 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. ITU-T Recommendation 4.602
4、 was revised 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 reform process within the International Telecommunication Union (ITU), the CCITT ceased to exist as of 28 February 1993. In its place, the ITU Telecommunicati
5、on standardization Sector (ITU-T) was created as of 1 March 1993. Similarly, in this reform process, the CCIR and the IFRB have been replaced by the Radiocommunication Sector.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 a
6、cronyms “CCITT, CCIR or IFRB” or their associated entities such as Plenary Assembly, Secretariat, etc. Future editions of this Recommendation will contain the proper terminology related to the new ITU structure. 2 telecommunication administration and a recognized operating agency.

9、ified ar Helsinki, 1993) interworking is defined to be - the controlled transfer of signalling information across the interface between different signalling systems where the significance of the transferred information is identical or where the significance is translated in a defined number; and the
10、 performance of appropriate switching procedures in association with the transfer. - The duration of interworking commences with the instant when an outgoing signalling system is successfully selected and the interworking continues throughout the call until the connection is released. Interworking c
11、eases with the release of the connection whether the release is initiated by reception of a clear-forward signal or in response to some other condition. 2.1 Functional partitioning When interworking is specified in SDL, three separate functional blocks with distinct procedures) are used (see Figure
12、2), namely - - the interworking logic procedures; - the incoming signalling system logic procedures; the outgoing signalling system logic procedures. It is understood that interworking logic procedures are dealt with in the second functional block. This functional subdivision allows only those event
13、s which can be processed within the individual incoming and outgoing signalling system logic procedures part to be sent to or from the interworking logic procedures part. Both the incoming and outgoing signalling system logic procedures cause actions such as the sending of an acknowledgement signal,
14、 the starting of time supervision, and the generation of an interworking event that includes additional information, e.g. the use of satellite circuits and echo suppressors. The action following the reception of an interworking event may be the generation of one or more signals as well as the operat
15、ion of internal signalling and switching procedures. The interworking logic procedures are used to specify the action to be taken in all cases, especially when there is no direct translation from an interworking event to a signal. 2.2 Descriptive tools A general approach to specifying interworking -
16、 known as events approach - is used. To prepare SDL diagrams three sets of events are used (see Recommendation Q.603), namely - - - Forward Interworking Telephone Events (FITES); Backward Interworking Telephone Events (BITES); and Switching Processing Interface Telephone Events (SPITES). *) in the R

19、ITEs perform information transfer in the backward direction from an outgoing signalling system to an incoming signalling system. SPITES describe the information flow at the functional interface between signalling and switching. These events are considered to be internal to the signalling procedures.
20、 In the events approach, all information transfer between any incoming and outgoing signalling system occurs at a standard interface by means of interworking telephone events. This is illustrated in Figure 2. The concept of an interworking event is generally valid and applies to all interworking com
21、binations. To provide a tool for the interworking specifications, information analysis tables (see Recommendation Q.604) are prepared. They identify the information elements of all forward and backward signals (which are relevant to interworking) for each signalling system. They also identify the po
22、ssible information loss, addition or change which occurs in the case of interworking of signalling systems. Due to the coding method used in Signalling System No. 7 ISUP, a complete analysis of the signalling information carried within the signalling messages would have resulted in a large increase
23、of the size of interworking diagrams. Therefore, FITE and BITE letter designations were defined to carry specific ISUP messages. They are analyzed in the interworking diagrams using mapping tables, the signalling indicators they carry and the normal FITE and BITE. Consequently, the tables presenting
24、 information contents of Signalling System No. 7 ISUP messages were not provided. 2 Recommendation Q.602 (03/93) ITU-T RECMN*Q.b02 93 = 48b259L 0585807 72L) 2.3 Symbols The symbols and rules of SDL used for interworking specifications are presented in Recommendation 2.102. 2.4 Rules for interworking
25、 diagrams The general objective is to present all the interworking specifications by means of SDL. The following rules apply to interworking specifications: 2.4.1 2.4.2 The interworking specifications shall be implementation independent. They shall facilitate the specification of interworking with o
26、ther signalling systems. They shall be unambiguous and as complete as possible, this means specifically that: 2.4.3 only those switching procedures shall be represented which directly influence the interworking of signalling systems; only those procedures of the outgoing and the incoming signalling
27、system logic are specified which are relevant to interworking, i.e. procedures which are signalling system dependent and others which have no influence on the interworking procedures are not represented in the functional parts of the outgoing and incoming signalling system logic procedures; detailed
28、 information, such as the exact description of the compelled signalling cycle, recognition times of signals, encoding, frequencies used, is not described in the outgoing or incoming functional parts. Such details can be found in the specifications of the signalling system; conditions resulting from
29、malfunctions of equipment which have no relevance to interworking, shall not be taken into account. 2.4.4 descriptions are not important for the interworking procedures. SDL connector symbols are used to cover some detailed procedures that need not be represented when their 2.4.5 Equipment terminolo
30、gy, e.g. ?register? mentioned in the logic procedures, is understood to be functional. 2.4.6 meaning specific to a single signalling system are not listed. The information analysis tables include only signals relevant to interworking. Any internai signals with a 2.4.7 consecutive states; .e. state transitions are instantaneous. Time elapses only within a state. In drawing the SDL diagrams for the interworking specifications, it was assumed that no time elapses between Recommendation Q.602 (03/93) 3
