Overview

SIST ETS 300 359-2:1998 specifies the Protocol Implementation Conformance Statement (PICS) proforma for the Integrated Services Digital Network (ISDN) supplementary service "Completion of Calls to Busy Subscriber" (CCBS) using the Digital Subscriber Signalling System No. one (DSS1) protocol. Published by the Slovenian Institute for Standardization (SIST), this standard aligns with European telecommunications requirements and is harmonized with the ISO/IEC 9646 conformance testing framework.

This document is crucial for both users and networks that seek to ensure their ISDN equipment and software conform to the requirements of CCBS functionality at the user-network interface, promoting reliable, interoperable telecommunications services.

Key Topics

  • Integrated Services Digital Network (ISDN): Focused on delivering multiple digital services over a single network infrastructure, with supplementary services such as CCBS for enhanced user experience.
  • Completion of Calls to Busy Subscriber (CCBS): Enables callers to automatically complete calls to subscribers who were previously busy as soon as the subscriber becomes available.
  • Digital Subscriber Signalling System No. one (DSS1): The protocol used at ISDN user-network interfaces for signalling, including support for supplementary services.
  • Protocol Implementation Conformance Statement (PICS): A structured checklist that equipment suppliers and system integrators complete to prove their implementation supports the mandatory and optional protocol features as outlined in the referenced standard.
  • Testing and Conformance: The PICS proforma supports static conformance reviews in line with ISO/IEC 9646, ensuring the correct implementation of CCBS supplementary services in ISDN environments.

Applications

This standard is directly applicable to:

  • ISDN Equipment Manufacturers: Suppliers use the PICS proforma to declare which CCBS supplementary service features are supported in their ISDN products, ensuring transparency and aiding customers in equipment selection.
  • Network Operators: Helps operators validate that network infrastructure meets the protocol conformance requirements for supporting CCBS, improving user experience and interoperability between different network elements.
  • System Integrators and Testers: Supports the integration and verification process by providing a unified structure for PICS statements, assisting in identifying feature support and ensuring alignment with European and international requirements.
  • Procurement and Compliance Teams: The standard serves as an assurance tool for organizations procuring ISDN hardware/software, helping to ensure protocol compliance and reducing interoperability issues.

In practical terms, completing and using the PICS proforma helps organizations:

  • Simplify ISDN equipment certification and acceptance processes
  • Guarantee a uniform approach to supporting the CCBS service across various vendors
  • Facilitate troubleshooting, maintenance, and future upgrades by documenting feature support

Related Standards

The following standards provide additional context and should be referenced alongside SIST ETS 300 359-2:1998:

  • ETS 300 359-1: Defines the actual protocol specification for CCBS using DSS1.
  • ETS 300 102-1: Specifications for ISDN user-network interface layer 3, focusing on basic call control.
  • ETS 300 195-1 and 300 195-2: Supplementary service interactions for DSS1, including their own PICS proforma specifications.
  • ETS 300 196-1 and 300 196-2: Generic functional protocol for supporting supplementary services in DSS1, with protocol specifications and conformance proformas.
  • ISO/IEC 9646 (Parts 1 and 7): Defines the general principles and implementation conformance statement methodology for Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) protocols.
  • ITU-T Rec. I.411: Reference configurations for ISDN user-network interfaces.

Summary

By following SIST ETS 300 359-2:1998, organizations can ensure systematic, compliant implementation and verification of CCBS supplementary service over ISDN, leading to improved service interoperability, simplified compliance checks, and enhanced customer confidence in digital network infrastructure.

1 Scope
This second part of ETS 300 359 is applicable to the stage three of the Completion of Calls to Busy
Subscriber (CCBS) supplementary service for the pan-European Integrated Services Digital Network
(ISDN) as provided by European public telecommunications operators at the T reference point or
coincident S and T reference point (as defined in ITU-T Recommendation I.411 [12]) by means of the
Digital Subscriber Signalling System No. one (DSS1) protocol. Stage three identifies the protocol
procedures and switching functions needed to support a telecommunications service (see CCITT
Recommendation I.130 [11]).
This ETS provides the Protocol Implementation Conformance Statement (PICS) proforma for the ISDN
DSS1 CCBS supplementary service protocol as specified in ETS 300 359-1 [8] in compliance with the
relevant requirements and in accordance with the relevant guidance given in ISO/IEC 9646-7 [10].
The supplier of a protocol implementation which is claimed to conform to ETS 300 359-1 [8] is required to
complete a copy of the PICS proforma provided in annex A of this ETS and is required to provide the
information necessary to identify both the supplier and the implementation.
