 Ìignaling Data
m s users of the PÌTN (Public Ìwitched
Telephone Network), we e change signalling
with network elements all the time.
m p amples of signalling between a telephone
user and the telephone network include : dialling
digits, providing dial tone, accessing a voice
mailbo , sending a call-waiting tone, dialling *66

Ìignaling Ìystem Number (ÌÌ ) is a form of


Common Channel Ìignaling.
m +sed for In-Band Ìignaling
m Ìignaling is transmitted in the same frequency
band as used by voice.
m Voice path is established when the call setup is
complete, using the same path that the call setup
signals used.
m %ut of Band signaling
m pmploys separate, dedicated path for
signaling.
m Voice trunks are used only when a
connection is established, not before.
m Faster Call Ìetup.

m Faster call setup
m No interference between signaling tones by
network and frequency of human speech
pattern.
m Greater Trunking pfficiency:- CCÌ has
shorter call set up and tear down times that
result in less call holding time, thereby
reducing the traffic on the network.
m It allows for signaling at any time in the entire
duration of call, not only at the beginning.
m CCITT developed a digital signaling standard
called Ìignaling Ìystem 6
m ÌÌ6 was based on Packet-Ìwitched,
proprietary data network.
 +ses 2.4 Kbps data links to send packets of data to
distant switches to request service.
m ÌÌ began deployment in 1983, was initially
used for inter office network, but now it is
deployed in local central offices.
m Provide a global standard for call setup,
routing, control and database access.
m Definition
m Ìignaling Ìystem # (ÌÌ ) is a set of telephony signaling
protocols which are used to set up the vast majority of the
world's PÌTN (Public Ìwitched Telephone Network)
telephone calls.

m It is usually abbreviated to ÌÌ while in North merica it is


often referred to as CCÌ , acronym for "Common Channel
Ìignaling Ìystem ". In some puropean countries, specifically
the +nited Kingdom, it is sometimes called C (CCITT
number ) and is also known as number and CCIÌ .
m %ut of band Ìignaling
m Higher Ìignaling data rates (56Kbps & 64
Kbps)
m Ìignaling traffic is bursty and of short
duration, hence operates in connectionless
mode using packet switching
m %ptimum use of bandwidth
m Reliability and fle ibility
 ÌÌ provides a universal structure for telephony network
signalling, messaging, interfacing and network
maintenance. It deals with establishment of a call,
e changing user information, call routing, different billing
structures, and supports Intelligent network (IN)
services.

 ÌÌ is also used in the mobile cellular telephony


networks like GÌ and +TÌ for voice (Circuit
Ìwitched) and data (Packet Ìwitched) applications.
 ÌÌPs are switches that have ÌÌ software and
terminating signaling links
 ÌÌPs create packets (signal units) and send those
messages to other ÌÌPs, as well as queries to
remote shared databases to find out how to route
calls
 ÌÌPs communicate with the voice switch via the use
of primitives and have the ability to send messages
using IÌ+P (call setup and teardown) and TCP
(database lookup) protocols.
 The switch can originate, terminate, or switch calls
ÌTPs are packet switches, and act like routers in the ÌÌ
network.
Routes each incoming message to an outgoing signaling
link, based on routing information contained in the ÌÌ#
message and a pre-defined route table
Does not offer termination services
ÌTPs are paired to ensure redundancy
There are three levels of ÌTPs.
‡National Ìignal Transfer Point
‡International Ìignal Transfer Point
‡Gateway Ìignal Transfer Point
