Overview
SIST EN 301 848-1 V1.1.1:2005 specifies the signalling procedures for Bearer Independent Call Control (BICC) within Integrated Services Digital Network (ISDN) environments, using Signalling System No.7 (SS7) in core ATM, IP, or similar backbone networks. This standard provides the protocol specification for Capability Set 1 (CS1), based on ITU-T Recommendations Q.1901 and Q.765.5, modified for European requirements and aligned with ETSI and SIST endorsement practices.
The BICC protocol enables ISDN services to be delivered flexibly over various bearer transport technologies (including ATM and IP), independent of the physical underlying network, allowing seamless interconnection of public switched telephone networks (PSTN) and next-generation backbone infrastructures.
Key Topics
- Bearer Independent Call Control (BICC): A protocol designed to separate call control from bearer control, allowing ISDN call services across diverse backbone networks.
- ISDN and SS7 Integration: Ensures compatibility with established ISDN services while deploying calls using SS7 signalling in modern IP and ATM environments.
- Capability Set 1 (CS1): Defines the initial set of functional capabilities for BICC, focusing on procedures and interoperability as standardized in ITU-T Q.1901 and Q.765.5.
- Serving Node Types:
- Interface Serving Node (ISN): Connects to circuit-switched networks.
- Transit Serving Node (TSN): Provides transit functions within the backbone network.
- Gateway Serving Node (GSN): Acts as an inter-network gateway.
- Endorsement and Modifications: Adjustments to ITU-T recommendations for European and national implementations, ensuring alignment with ETSI ISDN and SS7 standards.
Applications
SIST EN 301 848-1 V1.1.1:2005 is relevant for telecommunication operators, network equipment manufacturers, and service providers involved in:
- Network Interconnection: Facilitates the migration from circuit-switched to IP/ATM core networks while retaining ISDN services.
- IP and ATM Backbone Networks: Supports deployment of BICC signalling over diverse new-generation backbones, providing interoperability between legacy PSTN and packet-based networks.
- Carrier-Grade VoIP Gateways: Enables signalling for voice services transitioning from TDM to IP without loss of service continuity.
- National and International Call Routing: Standardizes call control for both national and pan-European deployments, ensuring robust, reliable call setup and handling.
Related Standards
For comprehensive implementation and compatibility, consider these relevant standards:
