Outline Evolution of IN GPRS overview CAMEL in GPRS Discussion

3

Plain Old Telephone Service Service logic were hardwired in switching systems.

Network operators discuss services customers required with switch vendors. (no standard)

Once services were implemented, they were not easily modified.

4

Stored Program Control In the mid-1960s, stored program control (SPC) switching systems were introduced.

As a result, it was easier to introduce new services.

Service logic was not modular.

5

Common Channel Signaling In the mid-1970s, common channel signaling

network (CCSN) was introduced. Signaling system number 7 (SS7) is the protocol

that runs over the CCSN. SS7 network separates the call setup information

and talk path from the common trunk that runs between switching systems.

6

SS7 network components signal switching points (SSPs)—SSPs are telephone

switches equipped with SS7-capable software and terminating signaling links. They generally originate, terminate, or switch calls.

signal transfer points (STPs)—STPs are the packet switches of the SS7 network. They receive and route incoming signaling messages to destination.

signal control points (SCPs)—SCPs are databases providing information necessary for advanced call-processing capabilities

The Introduction of IN During the mid-1980s, Telcordia Technologies responded to RBOCs’s request and developed the concept of Intelligent Network 1 (IN/1).

Service logic splits from switching system, now resides in service control points (SCP).

Call Model PICs represent switching system states that a call goes

through from origination to termination. SSPs check TDPs to see if there are any active triggers. If an active trigger is detected, normal switching syste

m call processing is suspended until the SSP and SCP complete communications.

Detection Points (DPs) GPRS events maybe made visible to gsmSCF. DPs are points at which these events are detected.

DPs can be armed to notify gsmSCF GPRS event was encountered, and to allow gsmSCF to influence subsequent handling of GPRS session/PDP Context.

If DP isn’t armed, processing entity continues processing without gsmSCF involvement at the DP.

20

Detection Points (DPs) 3 different types of DP:

Trigger Detection Point-Request (TDP-R)

Event Detection Point-Request (EDP-R)

Event Detection Point-Notification (EDP-N)

21

Detection Points (DPs) TDP-R

Statically armed, initiate a CAMEL control relationship

When GPRS event is encountered, processing is suspended

EDP-R Dynamically armed within CAMEL control relationship When GPRS event is encountered, processing is suspended and gprsSSF waits for inst from gsmSCF

EDP-N Dynamically armed within CAMEL control relationship When GPRS event is encountered, processing is not suspended.

GPRS CAMEL Scenarios 2 scenarios for CAMEL control of GPRS

Scenario 1 Allows CAMEL control of GPRS session and of multiple PDP contexts within 1 GPRS dialogue

Scenario 2 Allows CAMEL control of a single PDP contexts Multiple PDP contexts are controlled via multiple GPRS dialogues.

Scenario 1 and scenario 2 are mutually exclusive.

25

GPRS CAMEL Scenario 1 Involves Attach/Detach state model Uses less resource (tcap dialogue) More complicated when implementation

GPRS Attach The message sequence chart is too large to fit in this slide. Please see the supplementary document from 3GPP 23060 spec.

Notice the “Insert subscriber data” procedure, GPRS-CSI (CAMEL Subscription Information) is sent from HLR to SGSN.

2.5G HLR does not keep GPRS-CSI, nor does it send GPRS-CSI to SGSN.

3G HLR could keep GPRS-CSI, also it sends GPRS-CSI when doing “Insert subscriber data” procedure.
