Definitions
- the invention relates to a method for ensuring the passage of a user channel connection in a telecommunications network according to the preamble of claim 1 and a corresponding device according to the preamble of claim 6.
- Newer communication architectures that use packet- or line-based methods for voice signal transmission, such as Voice over IP (VoIP) or Voice over ATM (VoATM), provide for the separation of signaling and the handling of a communication connection on the one hand from the transport of user information on the other.
- VoIP Voice over IP
- VoIP Voice over ATM
- VoIP Voice over IP
- VoIP Voice over ATM
- switching networks are divided into connection-service-related units (call feature servers) for transporting the user information (bearer or bearer) and units for controlling these user connections (bearer control).
- call feature servers for transporting the user information (bearer or bearer)
- units for controlling these user connections bearer control.
- PSTNs Public Switched Telephone Networks
- IP Internet Protocol
- ATM Asynchronous Transfer Mode
- CSF Call Feature Servers
- DSS1 Digital Signaling System No. 1
- ISUP ISDN User Part
- the user connections are converted into the transport technology used by means of special servers called media gateways (MG).
- Media gateways have interfaces to PSTN / ISDN as well as IP / ATM networks and thus form the interfaces between circuit-switching and packet-oriented networks.
- TDM Time Division Multiplexing
- the media gateways are therefore run by central entities, the
- MCP Media gateway controllers
- the Call Feature Servers use an extended ISUP protocol (ISUP +) or the standardized BICC (Bearer Independent Call Control) protocol to communicate with each other.
- ISUP + extended ISUP protocol
- BICC Bearer Independent Call Control
- ITU standards Q.1902.x BICC CS2 Bearer Independent Call Control Capability Set 2, with its own service indicator for MTP (Message Transfer Part)) and Q765.5 BAT (Bearer Application Transport). These also describe this for IP Bearers, i.e. on IP-based data networks
- RTP Real Time Protocol
- the two PSTNs 10 and 12 each have local exchanges LE (Local Exchange), to which the telephones 14 are connected as terminal devices, and a transition TX 16 and 18, respectively, to the data network serving as a long-distance connection network
- LE Local Exchange
- TX 16 and 18 to the data network serving as a long-distance connection network
- transitions TX 16 and 18 are each connected both to a media gateway controller 26 and 28 and to a media gateway 22 and 24.
- the media gateways 22 and 24 are connected directly to the Internet 20 as an IP bearer. They essentially serve to unpack and package data packets that are received or sent via the Internet 20. The useful information of a connection between the two PSTNs 10 and 12 is transmitted with the data packets. The connection is controlled via the
- Media gateway controllers 26 and 28 which exchange information using BICC CS2 or ISUP +.
- CCS common channel signaling
- CPN Call Mediation Node
- signaling via central character channels such as Signaling System No.7 (SS7)
- TDM time division
- SS7 Signaling System No.7
- TDM time division
- signaling via central character channels provides a mechanism that ensures that a connection that is switched through according to the signaling principle also the user channel is switched through both within a switching center and between the switching centers involved.
- a connection that is switched through by signaling generally also guarantees a switched through channel for useful information.
- the object of the present invention is to ensure, in a telecommunication network in which a separation of the signaling and processing technology treatment of a communication connection from the transport of useful information, such as voice data, is provided that, in the case of a connection established by signaling, a switched-through user connection for Available.
- the invention now essentially presents a method and the corresponding message flow, as well as a device that closes the gap that the current standard for BICC CS2 in particular has: an operator of a telecommunications network with packet-oriented transmission of voice signals has familiar mechanisms which guarantee the switching through, no longer available as before. The operator is, as it were, used to "get back" the mechanisms he is used to.
- the user channel connection takes place via a packet-oriented data network between a first and a second media gateway (MG); a first call feature server (CFS) is also provided, which controls at least the first media gateway.
- MG media gateway
- CFS call feature server
- the first CFS signals the second MG for a connection continuity test that a test signal sent by the first MG is sent back by the second MG in order to check on the basis of the returned test signal whether the user channel connection between the first and second media gateway is switched through.
- the first CFS can send the message via a second CFS which controls the second MGS
- the first CFS preferably controls the first MG in such a way that it transmits the test signal to the second MG via the packet-based
- the data network sends and waits for the test signal sent back by the second MG within a predetermined period of time. This presupposes that an address exchange has also previously been carried out via the CFS in accordance with the known a-procedure.
- This "time-limited" test can be used to test the quality of the user channel connection. If a response takes too long, the connection is preferably triggered. In such a case, a voice connection of sufficient quality would probably also not be established.
- the first media gateway After receiving the returned test signal, the first media gateway should check whether the test signal comes from the address signaled by the second media gateway.
- a call feature server can thus provide connection services that a subscriber of the telecommunications network is also used to from the conventional circuit-switched networks.
- the invention relates to a device for ensuring the passage of a user channel connection in a telecommunications network, which has a packet-oriented data network, a first and second MG connected to it and a first CFS, which is connected at least to the first MG.
- the first CFS has test means which are designed such that they signal the second MG that a test signal sent by the first MG for a connection continuity test is sent back to the first media gateway by the second MG.
- a timer is preferably provided, which is used to measure the test duration or to set a time limit for the test.
- Test means can also be provided which test the address of a received test signal. This can guarantee . be tiert that a useful channel connection between exactly the first and second media gateway is available.
- the test signal is preferably a test bit pattern.
- the packet-oriented data network is preferably an IP or an ATM-based network.
- End devices can be connected to at least one call feature server directly, in particular via DSS1 or via at least one switching center, in particular via ISUP.
- the CFS can be part of an in-house telecommunications network, for example.
- end devices such as telephones, which are connected to the public digital telephone network, can communicate with the CFS.
- FIG. 1 shows a telecommunications network known from the prior art, in which voice signals are transmitted in a packet-oriented manner and a division or separation of signaling and switching from useful information transport is used, and
- FIG. 2 shows an exemplary embodiment of a telecommunications network in which a division or separation of signaling and switching from useful information transport and the method according to the invention for ensuring a useful channel connection is used.
- FIG. 2 The basic sequences of a method according to the invention are shown in FIG. 2. Acknowledge messages according to MGCP are not shown for clarity.
- PSTNs 10 and 12 can be two telecommunication networks of a company in different locations.
- voice connections between the PSTN 10 and the PSTN 12 are carried out using VoIP. It is therefore essential that conventional circuit-switched communication takes place in the PSTNs 10 and 12, while voice signals are transmitted in a cost-effective, packet-oriented manner as a long-distance network in the data network 42.
- the PSTNs 10 and 12 each have local exchanges LE and a transition TX 16 and 18, respectively.
- telephones 14 are connected as terminals for voice communication.
- the transitions TX 16 and 18 serve to couple the PSTNs 10 and 12 to the packet-oriented data network 42.
- the media gateways 34, 36, 38 and 40 enable a transition from a circuit-switched to a packet-oriented voice connection.
- the media gateways 34, 36 and 38, 40 are connected to the transitions 16 and 18 of the PSTNs 10 and 12, respectively.
- FIG. 2 also shows the control of the media gateways 36 and 38 via media gateway controllers or call feature servers 44 and 46.
- the media gateway controller or call Feature servers 44 and 46 can be designed as units of one or more conventional switching systems, for example as special plug-in cards.
- the operator can now specify via the human-machine interface that a continuity test of a voice connection should be carried out.
- the information elements for establishing a long-distance connection (trunking connection) are not described here; they are assumed to be known. The following description deals only with additional necessary actions, in particular for continuity testing.
- a connection establishment is initiated with the message “CRCX” 50 (create connection, MGCP).
- the message “CRCX” 50 is sent by the transmission-side call feature server 44 to the transmission-side media gateway 36 as in the case of a “basic call”, ie a normal call
- the call feature server 44 sends a message "IAM with continuity check on this circuit" 52, which is not currently defined in BICC, to the receiver-side call feature server 46, if the (IP) voice connection to be initiated is to be checked via the intranet 42.
- Circuit "52 in the Call Feature Server 46 on the receiver side sends the message" CRCX "with the mode parameter with” network loop "in order to mirror the continuity tone on the RTP side.
- CRCX Ack in the A “IAM with Continuity Check On Previous Circuit” message 54 is sent to the TDM destination, ie to a receiver 14, and a message “APM” with the RTP IP data on the receiver side to the sender call Feature Server 44 sent according to the well-known "Basic Call”.
- a message “MDCX” 56 is sent to the media gateway 36 in the transmitter-side call feature server 44, with the request with “requested events” for the events “col” (continuity tone) and “of” (report of failure ) sending and recognizing the continuity tone in the RTP package
- the transmitter-side media gateway 36 not only checks the detection of the sound, but preferably also determines whether the source of the IP packets actually matches the IP address data received in the message “MDCX” 56 to have the right source as a partner and then send a message "NTFY (col)".
- a timer T (not shown) monitors the timely reception of the sound. If the sound is not correctly recognized within the time T, a "NTFY (report of failure)" message is generated, which leads to the connection being released.
- a message “COT” 58 (successful continuity check) is sent to the receiver-side call feature server 46, with a message “MDCX” with empty “requested events” the continuity tone and the detection are switched off and the Media Gateway 36 is set to Send / Receive with the mode parameter.
- a message “MDCX” is sent to the media gateway 38, which takes back the mode parameter "Network Loop” (and thus removes the mirror).
- the message "COT sent to the TDM destination, which allows calling of the receiving party, more precisely the telephone.
- BICC or ISUP + can be used for the communication between the Call Feature Servers 44 and 46.
