Definitions
- the present invention relates to an arrangement and a method for connecting a plurality of link sets to a switching center in a telecommunications network.
- Telecommunications networks consist of a large number of switching centers (nodes), which in turn can form individual networks with the subscribers connected to them.
- information or signaling is transmitted between the switching centers in parallel with the actual user data, essentially between devices from which signaling originates or ends (signaling endpoints, SEP) and devices which serve to connect signaling endpoints (signaling transfer points, STP and signaling lines).
- signaling connections (signaling link set, e.g. with 16 signaling links) are set up between the individual signaling points.
- Each signaling point such as A switching center (node) is clearly identified in the network by a signaling point code (SPC).
- SPC signaling point code
- the exchanges forward incoming messages using routing tables in which all possible destination signaling points and the signaling paths to be used are entered. It is clear here that a change in a signaling point code (SPC) of a switching center must be communicated to all relevant switching centers in the network.
- the object on which the invention is based is to provide an arrangement or a method by means of which changes in relevant switching centers, which are necessary as a result of combining switching centers in the network, can be avoided.
- La and lb an example of the method according to the invention when combining two switching centers
- FIG. 5 shows the data linkage corresponding to the example shown in FIG. 4.
- the present invention is described using the example of the signaling system 7 (Signaling System No 7, SS7), which modalities and information content of the signaling between network nodes (switching centers) are agreed and used increasingly in telecommunications networks.
- SS7 Signaling System No 7, SS7
- the basis of the architecture of the signaling system 7 is the message transfer part (MTP). It establishes a connection between two neighboring signaling points and ensures fail-safe transmission of the control information between them.
- MTP message transfer part
- Various user parts are set up on the message transmission part, which establish virtual “end-to-end” connections between the originating switching center and the target switching center.
- each signaling point is e.g. Node clearly identified by a 14-bit signaling point code.
- Each message contains both the signaling point code of the originating point code (OPC) and the destination signaling point (Destination Point Code, DPC).
- OPC originating point code
- DPC Destination Point Code
- a node can be assigned a “primary” point code and a number of “secondary” point codes, a “secondary” point code being only minimally supported by the message transmission part MTP (level 3) and on it , in contrast to the "primary” point code, no link sets can be connected.
- Fig. 1 shows the signaling using the example of four exchanges A, B, X, Y.
- X is a linkset LSI to switching center A with source signaling point code OPC: A and from switching center Y with source signaling point code 0PC: Y is to switching center B with source signaling point code OPC: B a Linkset LS2 set up.
- Messages that are sent from exchange X to exchange A thus contain the destination signaling point code DPC: A and the originating signaling point code OPC: X.
- the messages sent from switching center A and switching center X contain the target signaling point code DPC: X and the original signaling point code OPC: A.
- FIG. 1b shows an example of a solution according to the present invention.
- the source and destination signaling point codes of the messages received and sent at switches A and B have not changed.
- the messages received by the transmitting and receiving unit 1 from the switching center A via the linkset LSI are forwarded unchanged to the switching center X because the source or destination signaling point code of the switching center X has been retained.
- the conversion signaling point code DPC: Y in the conversion unit 2 is replaced by the destination signaling point code DPC: X from the exchange X.
- the messages to be sent from the exchange X to the exchange A are unchanged by means of the transmission and reception unit 1 via the linkset LSI sent to the exchange A and the source signaling point code OPC: X is replaced by the source signaling point code OPC: Y for the messages sent to the exchange B via the linkset LS2.
- the originating signaling point code 0PC: X of the switching center X is determined by means of a table which relates to the respective target signaling point codes DPC: A, DPC: B of the messages sent by the switching center X. contains the corresponding source signaling point code OPC: X, OPC: Y.
- the table assigns the corresponding link set LSI, LS2 and the originating signaling point code OPC: X, OPC: Y corresponding to the individual link sets LSI, LS2 to the messages sent from the exchange X to the exchanges A and B.
- the exchange X appears in connection with the arrangement according to the invention in the network as an exchange at which the link set LSI to the primary finalization point code P -PC: X and the linkset LS2 are coupled to the secondary signaling point code S-PC: Y.
- the assignment of the origin and destination signaling point codes DPC: A, DPC: B, DPC: C, and OPC: X, OPC: Y, OPC: Z and thus the linksets LSI, LS2, LS3 can be carried out in the conversion unit 2a to the messages to be sent to the transmitting and receiving unit 1b automatically.
- the messages to be sent are, for example, the origin and target signaling point codes DPC: A, 0PC: X - DPC: B, OPC: Y - DPC: C, OPC: Z ... assigned.
- FIGS. 1b and 2 can also be combined, as shown in FIG. 3, since the conversion unit 2a of each message contains the corresponding source and destination signaling point codes DPC: A, OPC: X - DPC: B, OPC: Y - DPC: C, OPC: Z assigned.
- FIG. 4 shows an example in which the conversion is carried out by the exchange X in an external conversion unit 2 (switch).
- the linksets LSI, LS2 and LS3 of the exchange X to the exchanges A, B and C are assigned to the signaling point code OPC: X.
- the conversion in the conversion unit 2 makes it appear as if the link sets LS2, LS3 are connected to the secondary point codes S-PC: Y, S-PC: Z.
- a conversion between the exchange X and the exchange A is not necessary, since the linkset LSI to the exchange A is coupled to the primary point code P-PC: X.
- Fig. 5 shows the corresponding data link.
- the central data object is the MTP signaling point MTP-SP, i.e.
- Each linkset LSI, LS2, LS3 is, because it is clearly assigned to a specific MTP network, characterized by its neighboring nodes ADPC: A, ADPC: B, ADPC: C (represented by the solid lines).
- the secondary signaling point codes S-PC OPC: Y, S-PC OPC: Z are set up and assigned to the primary signaling point code OPC: X (represented by the dotted lines).
- the secondary signaling point codes OPC: Y, OPC: Z must be assigned to the corresponding linksets LS2, LS3 (represented by the dashed lines).
