Definitions
- the invention relates to a method for switching for the transmission of user data packets.
- the user data are transmitted in data packets in a data transmission network.
- the transmission takes place on the basis of data packets.
- data packets can also be transmitted in circuit-switched networks, the transmission and forwarding between the network nodes then takes place not on the basis of data packets but on the basis of time slots.
- a data packet usually contains a packet header and a packet body.
- the packet header contains information on forwarding the data packet, for example a destination address and a sender address.
- the user data is in the package trunk. Examples of networks in which user data are transmitted in a packet-based manner are the ATM network (Asynchronous Transfer Mode) and the Internet or so-called intranets, in which the data packets are transmitted in accordance with the Internet protocol.
- connection setup phase in which network resources are used for the connection and in which various transmission channels are interconnected. The data is then transmitted and forwarded in time channels. In the connection clearing phase, the occupied resources are released again, whereby the transmission channels are separated from each other again.
- connection clearing phase the occupied resources are released again, whereby the transmission channels are separated from each other again.
- connection termination phase the occupied resources are released again, whereby the transmission channels are separated from each other again.
- signaling protocols are used for this. So far, the signaling has basically been completed in the terminals, ie signaling messages are generated there for the first time and responses to received signaling messages are sent. Examples of such end devices are service use computers, so-called servers, and service provision computers, so-called clients.
- gateway units which connect packet networks and circuit-switched networks.
- Such a gateway unit is known for example from the standard H.323 (02/98) "Packed Based Multimedia Communications Systems" of the ITU-T (International Telecommunication Union - Standardization Sector Telecommunication).
- the gateway unit is also referred to as a gateway in this standard.
- the gateway unit completes the signaling on each side, i.e. for two fixed ones
- Protocols On the packet network side, signals are signaled, for example, in accordance with the H.323 protocol and on the side of the circuit-switched network in accordance with the ISUP protocol (ISDN User Part).
- ISUP protocol ISDN User Part
- an associated signaling unit, an associated program and a data carrier and a data network message are to be specified with this program.
- a signaling unit contains at least three connection units which are used in the Establishing a connection for the transmission of user data in data packets.
- the user data is forwarded in data packets of a network that transmits user data on the basis of data packets.
- the connection units each complete the signaling to one of the terminals involved in the data transmission.
- the signaling messages arriving at one connection unit for the transmission of the data packets are forwarded to the other connection unit with the aid of internal signaling messages defined for the signaling unit.
- the internal signaling messages are transmitted in accordance with an internal signaling protocol.
- the internal signaling protocol forms an interface between the two signaling protocols that are closed to the outside on the connection units.
- the internal signaling protocol is defined in such a way that it can be used both between connection units that terminate the same signaling protocol externally and between connection units that terminate externally in different signaling protocols.
- modularization is achieved by specifying the internal signaling protocol and the internal signaling messages. This modularization means that connection units for individual external signaling protocols can be developed independently of one another. Modularization also allows the signaling unit to be adapted to different tasks with little effort.
- a terminal is considered to be a unit that generates electrically or optically transferable data with the aid of a converter unit, for example with the aid of an acoustic converter unit or with the aid of an image converter unit.
- a terminal is also a unit that generates acoustic signals or image signals from optical or electronically received data with the aid of a converter unit.
- the end devices are usually used by participants.
- a third type of terminal are units that automatically generate or automatically evaluate user data. This type of terminal can also be located in the signaling unit itself, in other signaling units or in other network nodes.
- connection units can optionally be connected to one another. This measure ensures that the rigid connection between the connection units, which was previously customary in signaling for packet-based networks, can be removed. This opens up the possibility of arranging more than two connection units in a signaling unit and connecting them depending on the requirements for the signaling unit. The requirements change, for example, depending on the load or due to other circumstances. If, for example, one connection unit fails, another connection unit can be connected to the partner connection unit instead.
- the object relating to the method is achieved by the method specified in claim 2, which is technically closely related to the method according to claim 1.
- a signaling unit contains at least two connection units which are used when establishing a connection for the transmission of user data in data packets.
- the user data is forwarded in data packets of a network that transmits user data on the basis of data packets.
- the connection units each complete the signaling to one of the terminals involved in the data transmission in accordance with a signaling protocol for circuit-switched transmission of user data.
- the signaling messages arriving at a connection unit for the transmission of the data packets are "
- a port number which designates a receiving unit of a terminal
- a coding identifier which designates the coding type used when sending data packets to a terminal.
- the signaling unit contains further connection units which, however, serve to switch connections for the transmission of user data in a circuit-switched network and thus signal according to protocols for circuit-switched networks.
- the other connection units use the same message interface for exchanging the internal signaling messages as the connection units which mediate the transmission of user data packets.
- the same signaling messages are used in particular to set up a connection between the different connection units.
- the content of the signaling messages differs depending on the connection unit. This measure means that only one interface has to be defined for the transmission of user data for circuit-switched networks and for the transmission in packet networks. This provides the prerequisite for being able to offer both types of mediation for the participants with considerably less effort.
- connection units involved in establishing the connection works in accordance with the ISUP protocol (ISDN User Part) or a protocol based thereon.
- the core of the ISUP protocol is specified in particular in the Q.763 and Q.764 standards.
- connection units which according to the ISUP protocol Completing the signaling to the outside, already proven connection units can be used for switching in the transmission of user data packets and thus for a new task. This saves development effort.
- the connection units used hitherto only need to be expanded by a few functions, for example a function for determining an Internet address and functions for controlling a control unit which is connected to a packet-switching network.
- a network transition unit for converting the user data can be reached via the control unit.
- connection units involved in establishing the connection can be switched between two conventional switching centers of the circuit-switched network. If all three connection units involved in establishing the connection work in accordance with the ISUP protocol, there are options when establishing a connection for transmission in data packets. If necessary, the two connection units signal according to different protocol types.
- connection units If one or two of the three connection units signal according to a signaling protocol for a packet network, there is a choice between protocol classes and not only between protocol types when establishing a connection.
- connection units involved in establishing the connection works according to an ISUP protocol supplemented by information elements, which enables the transmission of the following information:
- the transport mechanisms specified in the Q.765 standard are preferably used, for example the container structure BAT (Bearer Association Transport) specified there. This measure allows two
- a signaling unit there is, for example, a connection unit that works according to the extended ISUP protocol and a connection unit that works according to the ISUP protocol.
- connection units involved in establishing the connection completes the signaling in accordance with a signaling protocol for a packet-transmitting data network.
- a terminal or another unit in a data packet transmitting network is connected to the connection unit directly or via further signaling units.
- the signaling can be carried out in sections or completely using a network transmitting data packets.
- Methods are carried out in which two or three line units also signal according to a signaling protocol for packet networks.
- the signaling protocols can differ. This increases the options for establishing a connection.
- the signaling protocol is a protocol for signaling with a terminal, preferably the protocol H.323, the protocol SIP (Session Initiation Protocol) or the protocol MGCP ( Media Gateway Control Protocol).
- the protocol H.323 was established by the ITU-T.
- the SIP protocol and the MGCP protocol were developed by the IETF (In-

- the invention also relates to a signaling unit which carries out the steps of the method according to the invention or its further developments.
- the signaling unit is part of a switching center for a circuit-switched network. This means that user data is transmitted in time channels in the exchange.
- the switching center also contains functions for switching a transmission path for user data packets. The user data packets themselves are not forwarded via the exchange, but via the network transmitting the data packets. Within the exchange, however, the same internal signaling messages are used for both types of signaling.
