摘要:
The invention refers to negotiating protocol options between network nodes in a telecommunications network using separated call control and bearer control protocols, the method comprising transmitting a first call control message from a first node to a second node specifying protocol options supported by the first node, transmitting a second call control message from the second node to a third node specifying protocol options supported by the first and second nodes, and selecting a protocol option from the protocol options specified in the second control message; the invention further refers to a telecommunications system for negotiating the protocol options and to an apparatus for setting up call connections.
摘要:
A method of sending signalling messages over a communication system comprising at least two different transport networks coupled together at a media controller. The method comprises receiving a signalling message of a first signalling transport protocol at the media controller, the message being sent to the media controller over a first of the signalling networks. At the media controller, a signalling message of a second transport protocol is defined, the message corresponding to said signalling message of the first signalling transport protocol. A composite signalling message is then constructed which contains at least part of the information contained in the received message and at least part of the information contained in the defined signalling message. The composite signalling message is then sent over a second of the signalling networks.
摘要:
A method of signalling in a telecommunications network comprises generating signalling messages at an Application Part or a User Part of an originating signalling point, the messages having a maximum length of 272 octets. The generated signalling messages are transferred to a Message Transfer Part layer 3 (MTP3) of the originating signalling point and, on the basis of the destination signalling point of the received signalling message, it is determined whether or not the message is to be transmitted over an NNI-SAAL signalling link. If the message is to be transmitted over an NNI-SAAL signalling link, the message is transferred to an NNI-SAAL part of the originating signalling point. If the message is not to be transmitted over an NNI-SAAL signalling link, the message is transferred to an MTP2 part of the originating signalling point.
