Definitions
- the invention relates to a method for controlling connections, in particular for establishing and / or clearing down connections, between transit network terminals of a transit network with a central control device, a number of transit network terminals and optionally one or more relay points internal to the transit network of transit network communication routes, each running between two of the terminals and / or relay points, the control of the communication routes, in particular the allocation and release thereof for connections between terminals, being carried out by the control device on the basis of signaling information which is between the control station and the terminals is exchanged.
- the invention also relates to a control device for controlling, in particular for seizing and releasing, transit network communication routes in a transit network with a number of transit network terminals and optionally one or more relay points internal to the transit network, the communication routes each between two of the terminals and / or relay points run, the control device being set up for exchanging signaling information with the terminals and for processing the signaling information for correspondingly controlling the correlation routes for the purpose of controlling connections, in particular connecting and disconnecting, between the terminals.
- the invention also relates to a terminal device for a transit network with a central control device, for establishing and clearing the connection in the transit network in cooperation with other transit network terminals and optionally one or more relay points internal to the transit network using communication links, which each run between the terminal device and another terminal or a relay point, the terminal device being set up for exchanging signaling information with the control device for controlling the communication links, in particular for occupying and releasing them for connections.
- a transit network is understood to mean a communication network which has no end points used by network subscribers; instead, access to a transit network takes place exclusively from other communication networks, specifically via the terminals of the transit network, which often correspond to gateways, for example, on the part of the connected communications networks.
- a terminal of the transit network is therefore not a terminal (of a network subscriber), but rather an interface device to another Korrimunikationsnetz.
- a well-known example of a transit network is a satellite system that makes satellite connections available to other networks and whose terminals ("SateJJbltenterrriinals") are accessed from these other networks; a transit network can of course also be used as a cable network (e.g. fiber optic network), radio network or a hybrid network. It is important that the transit network has a central control center for controlling the communication routes running in the network.
- the main components of this type of system are a satellite SAT with "on-board processing", a network control station NCC ('Network Control Center') and a number of satellite effect terminals ST1, ST2.
- the - here ground-based - satellite terminals ST1, ST2 represent the interface between the associated subscriber terminals TE1, TE2 and / or terrestrial telecommunication networks TN1, TN2 and the actual satellite system BSS.
- the connected ones Terminals TE1, TE2 or networks TN1, TN2 belong to the known communication network types, such as ISDN, ATM, Internet (based on the EP).
- the task of the satellite terminals ST1, ST2 is to ensure that, if necessary, suitable connections are requested or cleared via the satellite system in accordance with the subscriber requests.
- the signaling required for this - symbolized in FIG. 1 by dotted arrows ssg - is referred to as "internal signaling in the satellite system", or “internal signaling” for short.
- the control station NCC receives connection requests via the internal signaling system and decides on the basis of the current system load and the characteristics of the desired connection - such as the required bandwidth and quality - whether the new connection can be accepted. In the event of a positive answer, the two affected satellite terminals are informed about internal signaling, on the one hand, and a corresponding command to switch the connection is sent to the satellite SAT.
- the geostationary satellite SAT makes it possible to switch channels ropes, scl2 between satellite terminals ST1, ST2 directly "on-board", ie they are linked directly to a communication path.
- the traffic data eg voice and / or video, or other data
- the communication links used for this usually exist between a satellite terminal and a satellite, but if necessary, communication links from satellite to satellite can also be used (so-called tersatelKte links).
- a method and a control device or terminal device of the type mentioned at the outset in which a signaling protocol is used for the exchange of the signaling information, with at least the following request message types corresponding to the SIP standard: a message type (corresponding INVITE) for initiating a connection establishment, a message type (corresponding to BYE) for initiating a connection termination, and a message type (corresponding to ACK) for confirming a previous exchange of signaling information, and at least one response message type corresponding to the SIP standard (corresponding in particular 200 ) for confirmation messages and / or error messages.
- a message type corresponding INVITE
- BYE message type
- ACK message type
- the invention therefore provides for the messages used to be modeled on the SIP standard. It is obvious that the messages do not have to obey the form defined in the SEP standard, but that an equivalent design is sufficient, with the same function of the messages; for example, the names of the messages and / or the fields in the messages may be different, or the syntax format may vary.
- By optimizing adaptation to a given transit network - e.g. Satellite network - fields that are not required in this specific type of transit network can also be omitted or "instead" can be used instead of being mandatory.
- the use of signaling in accordance with the SDP protocol enables a surprisingly simple but reliable implementation of the signaling in the transit network , especially in a satellite system.
- SD? is an IETF standard protocol for initiating interactive 'sessions', such as video conferencing, Internet telephony and instant messaging in an EP-based network.
- SEP is based on a standard that was developed by the multiparty multimedia session control working group (MMUSI of the IETF and is defined in RFC 3261 (as of June 2002).
- MUSI multiparty multimedia session control working group
- SD? is based on the IP protocol and is basically similar to the well-known protocols SMTP and HTTP. How did these two use SD? For the communication between an SD? client and a SEP server, text-based messages are used to implement the client's request and server response.
- SD? uses HTTP syntax over long distances.
- SIP also has its own security mechanisms that are responsible for the reliability of the transmission.
- SEP can also transmit multiple requests and responses via a TCP, UDP or SCTP connection. Does SD use for addressing communication partners? an email-like address representation of the form user @ domain, user @ ip-dress or phone number @ gateway.
- the SDP system has two components: the user agent and the network server.
- the user agent is executed by the user (e.g. a calling end station). It contains the protocol client - also called user agent client (UAC) - and a protocol server, which is known as the user agent server (UAS).
- UAC user agent client
- UAS user agent server
- the UAC initiates the calls, the UAS answers incoming calls.
- proxy and redirect servers are provided (among others): proxy and redirect servers.
- the SIP proxy server performs similar tasks as an SMTP server or HTTP proxy. It accepts requests from the client, determines where they should be directed to and then forwards the requests.
- the redirect server is responsible for messages to the recipient. It accepts requests and tells the client which server the agent should contact. SD too? always uses the DNS (Domain Name Service) when it comes to tracking down a different server.
- DNS Domain Name Service
- An SD? Request consists of three parts: a start line (request line or status line), header fields with a defined format and content, and (after an empty line) a news trump card (short "body") that consists of one or more body fields
- the various header fields contain information about call services, addresses and protocol characteristics SD? defines six request types: INVITE, BYE, 0PTI0NS, ACK, REGISTER and CANCEL. 1 -
- INVITE The most important request type is INVITE, which is responsible for initiating a call between client and server.
- a caller can "invite" a called party to a phone call.
- the information contained in the associated header fields are very similar to those when sending an electronic message. Among other things, they transmit the address of the caller and that of the called party, subject, priority and routing information.
- the body of the message can optionally contain MEVEE-encoded content, for example SMTL or XML content.
- the REGISTER method is used to transmit location information to an SDP server, where a SIP CHent can be reached, so that incoming answers from one or more communication partners are forwarded to them.
- BYE ends the session between two terminals.
- ACK confirms the reliable exchange of messages and CANCEL tries to delete a request that has already been sent.
- 0PTI0NS can contain optional information about the user.
- the message types defined in the SIP standard are not all absolutely necessary for the invention; rather, the message types mentioned above (DSTV ⁇ , BYE, ACK and 200) already guarantee the basic functioning of the invention.
- the solution according to the invention of course allows the signaling protocol to provide further request and / or response message types which correspond to the SIP standard, in particular the following: a message type (corresponding to CANCEL) for interrupting a connection; a message type (corresponding to REGISTER) for registering a satellite terminal in the SatelHten telecommunications system; one or more message types (corresponding in particular to 100 and / or 4xx and / or 5xx responses) for responses of a non-final type and for error messages relating to a satellite terminal or the server.
- Such further message types can be advantageous depending on the current implementation.
- the invention is used for satellite systems - for which it was primarily developed - its advantages are particularly evident.
- the control of the satellite Communication routes Is carried out by the control device by exchanging signaling information with the satellite terminals and for processing the signaling information for corresponding control of the satellite communication routes.
- a preferred further development of the invention allows the establishment of point-to-multipoint sessions, which meet the special properties of a transit network and in particular a satellite system, in particular the broadcast functionality of the satellite and the architecture on which the satellite system is based.
- a transit network and in particular a satellite system
- the broadcast functionality of the satellite and the architecture on which the satellite system is based.
- it is useful if in the messages exchanged according to the signaling protocol, in particular messages according to the message type for initiating a connection establishment (INVITE), the calling of several called terminals is permitted, such messages being used for the control of point-to-multipoint connections become.
- an additional response message type can be used for the economical handling of error messages, with which an error message is signaled in relation to all called (SateUiten) terminals of a pure-to-multipoint connection.
- hull fields according to an additional hull field type can be used in the confirmation messages for point-to-multipoint connections, or at least in some of them, with each such hull field providing an error message relating to a called (satellite) terminal the point-to-multipoint connection in question is signaled.
- the signaling protocol can be implemented as a signaling protocol based on the D? Protocol and / or a higher-level protocol such as TCP or UDP.
- connection parameters transmitted in this way can relate in particular to one or more of the following parameters: connection type, service category, maximum data rate, usage factor, maximum burst size, desired priority of the connection, cell delay variation, maximum cell transfer delay. ' ' -
- the allocation of bandwidths for data transmission on the part of the satellite or satellites is carried out by dynamic resource management as a function of the required controlled connection qualities to achieve optimal utilization and improve the connection quality.
- the resource management assigned to a satellite can run on this satellite as part of an on-board system.
- Fig. 2 shows the establishment of a point-to-point connection in the network of Fig. 1;
- FIG. 3 shows the dismantling of the connection of FIG. 2
- FIG. 8 shows EDN interworking based on the signal exchange of FIG. 2.
- the invention can be used for different types and architectures of a transit network.
- the exemplary embodiment is based on a satellite network SAN with a broadband satellite system BSS of the type shown in the introduction to the description with reference to FIG.
- a system BSS has a geostationary satellite SAT with "on-board processing", a central network control station NCC, which represents a control device in the sense of the invention, and a number of (typically several thousand) satellite terminals ST1 , ST2, ST3, ST4, which are ground-based in the exemplary embodiment under consideration here and can be equipped with different transmission and reception capacities.
- the satellite SAT has its own dynamic resource management as part of its on-board processing system. This is responsible for the actual allocation of bandwidth for the transmission of data. If the connection is established successfully, the resource management is informed that there is a connection with a certain connection quality between the participating Satej uten terminals. The resource management is thus instructed to assign these terminals (the bandwidth defined in the connection quality) for the transmission of data whenever the Terrninals want to transmit data.
- the allocation of resources on the satellite link is thus "dynamic", that is always exactly when a satellite terminal needs these resources. These resources can be used for other connections during the time in which a satellite effector does not send any data.
- the invention uses the SIP standard as a starting point in accordance with the IETF standard RFC 3261 (“standard SIP”).
- standard SIP the protocol is optimized within the scope of the invention described here for use in the satellite architecture described.
- the similarity is thereby reduced of the satellite architecture with an SD? network with proxy server:
- a SIP proxy server can establish connections between different SEP end devices (eg SDP telephones).
- the tasks of the control center NCC are those of a SEP proxy server very similar.
- the satellite terminals ST1, ST2 correspond to the SD? terminals in the SD? network.
- the resulting modified SD? protocol can thus be called "Sat-SD?" be designated.
- Sat-SD? manages with far fewer header fields in the messages than standard SEP. Are specific in Sat-SD? only the following header fields are required: accept, allow, error-info, from, to, cseq, call-id, expires and retry-after, as well as the three header fields for authentication: WWW-Authenticate, Authorization and Authentication - Info ,
- Sat-SD? comes with much less messages than standard SD? out. Are specific in Sat-SD? only the following messages are provided: ACK, BYE, CANCEL, INVITE, REGISTER, 100, 200, as well as 4xx and 5xx messages. In Sat-SD? are the same names for each message type as in standard SD? used, but other identifiers could also be used without affecting the functionality of the protocol.
- the resource control can be provided in the control station NCC and / or on-board, i.e. on the satellite, as is the case e.g. is known from the EuroSkyWay system.
- the advantage of the latter variant is that the signal runtimes are shorter and resource requirements can be dealt with more quickly, which can outweigh the disadvantage of the greater complexity of on-board systems.
- New trunk fields can be contained in the INVITE message, which allow parameters to be described to describe the connection quality. These fuselage fields replace the SDP fuselage used in standard SD? is provided.
- One or more terminals can be specified in the to header field, which is used to designate the called terminal. If more than one terminal is specified, a ptmp connection is established. (In standard SD? Only one end device can be specified in the header field to.)
- connection type unidirectional or bidirectional; ptp or ptmp
- service category maximum data rate
- usage factor the ratio between average and maximum data rate
- maximum burst size maximum amount of data to be sent at once
- desired priority of the connection cell delay variation, maximum cell transfer delay.
- the resource control of the satellite system is configured according to the newly established connection.
- a user data connection is established between the satellite terminals, so that they can begin to transmit user data via the satellite.
- CAC 'Connection Admission Control'
- the CAC is typically implemented in the form of a computer program, but in principle it can also be implemented as a hardware unit.
- the CAC decides e.g. According to a statistical algorithm, whether a requested connection can be permitted based on the current system load, without restricting or endangering the quality of service of existing connections. If the decision is positive, the connection is established. Otherwise the connection establishment will be terminated unsuccessfully.
- a method of this type is described, for example, in EP 1146763 A2, the content of which is incorporated as part of this disclosure.
- the CAC is particularly advantageous in the high-load range, but requires a sense of connection. It should be noted that the CAC is not an essential element of the invention. Rather, in a simplified embodiment of the invention, the inclusion of a CAC can be dispensed with if the advantage of guaranteed service quality is not required for accepted connections.
- the signaling messages are sent from the satellite terminal ST1 or ST2 via their own signaling channel (not shown in the figure), the so-called RASC ('Random Access Channel'), via the satellite SAT (not shown in FIGS. 2 and 3 for clarity) and transported to the control station NCC, or from there via the satellite to the relevant satellite terminal ST1 or ST2.
- the RASC is not a collision-free channel and can e.g. can be realized using the known ALOHA or slotted ALOHA processes.
- the control center NCC uses the transmitted QoS and traffic parameters to decide whether the new connection can be permitted in the communication network. Approval is granted if the QoS of all connections already in the network is not impaired. Methods of this type are well known in the art
- the NCC identifier used internally in the satellite system is NGGID.
- the identifiers of the satellite title terminals ST1, ST2, ST3 and ST4 used internally in the satellite system are ST1 ID, ST2ID, ST3ID, ST4ID.
- the ⁇ NVTTE message In the body of the ⁇ NVTTE message are some, but not all, in Sat-SD? contain defined QoS parameters.
- QoS parameters In an implementation, depending on the specific satellite system, the CAC used and the type of connection, only the required QoS parameters (all or, as in this case, only a part), are transported in the body field of the DSTVi'l ⁇ messages.
- the QoS parameters for the forward and reverse directions are specified separately; for unidirectional connections, only the parameters for the forward direction are specified.
- two parameters specifying the connection type must be specified: PTP (point-to-point "true” or "false") and UNI (unidirectional: "true” or "false”).
- the establishment of a ptp session is initiated by a request pll "INVITE" from the (calling) satellite terminal ST1.
- a reverse message pl2 "100" confirms the successful arrival of the INVITE message.
- a NAC is carried out by the NCC; this is symbolized by the reference symbol C1. If the CAC is successful, the connection is permitted, resource management procedures for the allocation of resources on the transmission links are initiated, and the called ST2 terminal is informed by an INVITE message p21. If the called ST2 terminal can accept the connection, it replies with a 200 message p23, which is sent back to the NCC. After successful completion of the resource allocation, the 200 message p!
- Table 2 shows an example of a set of useful values for a GEO system according to Fig. 1. The set of values is based on the assumption that an unreliable transport layer such as UDP is used, which is why the values for retransmission are also given. Of course, depending on the configuration used (LEO, MEO, GEO, etc.), the values shown are to be adapted to the respective satellite system. Table 2 shows - via standard SD? In addition - a time parameter satT is used, which has the value 500 ms in the example considered. If a reliable transport layer is used, e.g. TCP, or the retransmission is taken over by the physical layer of the satellite protocoU layer model, so (according to standard SD?) The timers for the configuration of the retransmission can be set to the value 0.
- a reliable transport layer e.g. TCP
- the timers for the configuration of the retransmission can be set to the value 0.
- Fig. 3 shows the message flow of a successful ptp call release, e.g. the dismantling of the connection established according to Fig. 2.
- the breakdown is initiated by a BYE message pl5, pl6, which is also acknowledged by a 200 message p26, pl6.
- the process corresponds to the processes of the standard SD ?.
- the resources occupied in the control center NCC are released or the QoS parameters are reset by means of a CAC call C2.
- Fig. 4 shows a successful call setup for a ptmp call.
- individual ptp sessions are not interconnected for a ptmp session, but the ptmp call is handled in the control center NCC as a whole.
- the INVITE message mll sent by the calling satellite effect terminal ST1 to the control center NCC and initiating the call set-up contains the identifications and parameters of all called satellite signals.
- ST3, ST4 which should be interconnected to the desired ptmp session.
- the called Satititerminals respond with different backwards messages, depending on whether the relevant Satitite terminal can participate in the ptmp session or not.
- FIGS. 4 and 5 and 7 The structure of the ptmp session (Fig.4) is thus similar to that of a ptp session (Fig.2);
- reference symbols of the form 3nm are used for the messages exchanged in FIGS. 4, 5 and 7, which correspond to those in FIGS. 2 and 3 (the form lnm).
- Table 3 shows the exchanged messages of FIGS. 4 and 5.
- the successful arrival of the INVITE message is confirmed by a reverse message ml2 "100".
- the called terminals ST2, ST3, ST4 are informed by INVITE messages m21, m31, m41.
- the called satellite terminals answer with 200 messages m23, m33, m.43. These are bundled in a 200 message ml3 forwarded to the calling satellite terminal ST1.
- the acknowledging ACK message ml4 is forwarded to the called satellite terminals by messages m24, m34, m44, whereupon the satellite terminals with the transmission of the useful information s4 in the ptmp session can start.
- a 4FIN trunk field (4FIN for '4xx Final Response') is added, which contains the identifier of the rejecting Satelu ⁇ enterrninal and the associated 4xx response type;
- the 200 message ml3 'thus has a 4FIN trunk field with the information that the satellite terminal ST3 has responded with 486.
- the setup of session s3 according to FIG. 5 corresponds to the process of successful setup as described in FIG. 4.
- FIG. 6 shows an example of an add-party process, for example the subsequent inclusion of the satellite terminal ST3 following the process of FIG. 5, so that a session s4 'is reached starting from the session s3, in which the terminal ST3 is also integrated is, according to the result of Fig.4.
- This FaU proceeds like the establishment of a separate session (FIG. 2), and the individual messages are identified by reference characters bnm corresponding to the messages pnm in FIG. The difference to the process in FIG.
- each INVITE message contains the same callid; In order to be able to distinguish between the individual INVITE messages, they receive different cseq values. This corresponds to the standard SD ?.
- the ENfVITE message bll differs from the corresponding message pll in particular in that it has an empty message body
- Fig. 7 shows the successful call reduction in ptmp FaU.
- all of the information about the satellite terminals to be notified is transmitted to the calling satellite effect terminal ST1 in a common BYE message ml5 in order to use the RASC channel effectively and to remain standard-compliant.
- For feedback is a common acknowledgment ml6 is used.
- the body of the 200 message is again used to include those subscribers who have sent a negative receipt to the calling satellite terminal ST1.
- the process is completely analogous to the process in FIG. 3; in particular, the messages m25, m35, m45 (BYE) and m26, m36, m46 (200) in FIG. 5 correspond to the messages ⁇ 25 and ⁇ 26 of FIG. 3.
- the resources occupied in the control center NCC are released or the QoS parameters are reset by means of a CAC call C4.
- QoS and / or traffic parameters can be renegotiated for an existing Sat-SIP session by including this information in a new INVITE message from the calling terminal ST1 to the control center NCC. If the new parameters are accepted by the CAC, the control center NCC sends corresponding INVITE messages to the called terminals. As soon as all called terminals have answered with a 200 message, the control center NCC sends a 200 message to the calling satellite terminal. This responds with an ACK message to the control center, which in turn sends an ACK message to each of the SatelHt terminals called. Changing the QoS and / or traffic parameters can only cause the calling terminal.
- the Sat-SD? CaU Control Prototyp is largely written in SDL ('Specification and Description Language').
- the architecture of the Sat-SD? CaU Control prototypes that use the Sat-SD? ProtokoU implemented, is essentially based on the SD? Standard functional units required.
- the Terminal Sat SIP software and the control station Sat SD? Software are subdivided into processes corresponding to Transaction User, CHent Transaction and Server Transaction. CHent and Server Transactions are in standard SD? described and complete and - with the exception of the adjusted timers - unchanged in Sat-SD? accepted.
- connection-oriented ISDN, ATM
- connectionless protocols EP
- SateUitenterminal This requires a separate interworking unit in the SateUitenterminal, which either derives a trigger for a connection request from a message arriving in the satellite terminal from the terrestrial network (ISDN, ATM) or an incoming packet (D?), Or derives corresponding parameters from the arrives incoming message and a suitable Sat-SD? Issues INVITE message. If necessary, the parameters must also be mapped to the Sat-SIP parameters in the interworking unit (termination of the incoming connection), or the incoming messages are transmitted via the established user channel. Special features of the respective terrestrial protocol (timer behavior, with TCP / D? TCP SpHtting) must then be considered individually.
- FIG. 8 shows an example of a signal sequence with interworking between the ISDN ProtokoU and the Sat-SD? ProtokoU.
- a Q.931 SETUP message q1 had been received by a jSDNterwork g group DF1 assigned to the calling satellite terminal ST1.
- the incoming SETUP message is now "held back" by the IWF to check whether a connection request can be accepted for the expected (ISDN) traffic. Only then can the SETUP message be sent to the called terminal ST2 or its interworking terminal.
- Function D? 2 The interworking function D? L thus generates a setup request ipl (setup_req) from the SETUP message, which is an incentive to generate an INVITE message pll.
- the setup request ipl contains all information from the incoming SETUP message, which are necessary for the generation of an INVITE message pll (ie essentially the traffic and QoS parameters).
- an INVITE message pll ie essentially the traffic and QoS parameters.
- the messages pll, p21 etc. follow in the same way as above with reference to FIG
- a setup indication pil (setup_ind) is generated on the called side ST2, which is sent to the interworking function D72 of the called party SateUitenterminals ST2 goes.
- the receipt is acknowledged by a setup response pi3 (setup_resp).
- the ACK message p24 is again converted into an acknowledgment ⁇ i4 (setup_cmp_ind, 'setup complete indication').
- the signaling channel can be permanently assigned, for example by configuration, to one or more Satemtenter inals, or it can be set up if necessary, for example, also according to the described method SateUitenterminal thus go through a "single hop".
- SateUitenterminal thus go through a "single hop".
- the invention is of course not based on the example of Sat-SD discussed above? limited, rather it can also be used in more general systems.
- the invention can also be used with a narrowband satellite system.
- the resource control of the SateUiten SAT can be located on-board or in the control station NCC.
- the rudder t ation NCC not considered to be realized from SateUiten separate terrestrial SteUe but may be in whole or teüweise on-board.
- a communication satellite system without "on board processing" can also be used. In this case, the data connection runs in a "double-hop" from the calling satellite terminal via a central ground station to the called satellite terminal.
- connections including terrestrial network connections (without a satellite unit), which are also signed according to the invention, for example via satellite SD?
