Overview
SIST EN 300 356-16 V4.1.2:2004 is a European standard developed by the Slovenian Institute for Standardization (SIST) and endorsed by ETSI. The standard defines the Call Hold (HOLD) supplementary service for Integrated Services Digital Network (ISDN) using the ISDN User Part (ISUP) version 4 of Signalling System No.7 (SS7), specifically at the international interface. This specification aligns with ITU-T Recommendation Q.733, clause 2 (1993), with necessary modifications to meet pan-European requirements.
The standard focuses on stage three of service specification, detailing the signalling system protocols and switching functions essential for implementing the Call Hold supplementary service in international ISDN networks. It ensures consistent service provision and interoperability across European public telecommunications operators.
Key Topics
- Call Hold (HOLD) Supplementary Service: Enables users to temporarily suspend communication on an active call and later resume it, providing greater call management flexibility for circuit-mode basic telecommunication services.
- ISUP Version 4 for SS7: Specifies the procedures for ISUP version 4, facilitating international ISDN interconnection and ensuring seamless signalling across networks.
- Signalling Protocol and Switching Functions: Outlines the technical requirements for signalling and switch behavior necessary to support Call Hold in ISDN environments.
- International Interface: Focuses on provisions necessary for international interconnection while retaining formats and procedures relevant to national networks for informative purposes.
- Alignment with ITU-T Standards: Implements and modifies relevant ITU-T Recommendations to suit the pan-European ISDN environment, ensuring harmonization of supplementary telecommunication services.
Applications
The standard brings significant practical value for:
- Telecommunications Operators: By standardizing the Call Hold service at the signalling protocol level, operators can provide users with a consistent supplementary feature across international ISDN connections.
- Equipment Manufacturers: Hardware and software vendors developing ISDN and SS7-compatible products can rely on this standard to achieve compliance and interoperability within European and international markets.
- Network Engineers and Architects: Professionals planning, deploying, and maintaining circuit-switched networks leverage this standard to guarantee that ISDN Call Hold services function correctly across multi-vendor, multi-country environments.
- End-users of ISDN Services: Benefit from the ability to put calls on hold and resume communication efficiently, enhancing user experience for business and residential customers.
Typical use cases include business telephony, call centers, and service providers requiring advanced call management features built on standardized telecommunication protocols.
