1.1 Service Description


1.1.1 Function Code
Table 1-1 lists the mapping between function names and function codes in the speech service. Table 1-1 Function names and function codes in the speech service Name Telephony Emergency call Emergency call for special service Code WMFD-010101 WMFD-010102 WMFD-010103

1.1.2 Definition
The speech service is the elementary feature of a telecom network. The service consists of the functions such as telephony, emergency call, and emergency call for special service. Table 1-2 lists the definitions of these functions. Table 1-2 Definitions of functions in the speech service Name Telephony Definition This function enables mobile subscribers to communicate with the subscribers in the PSTN, ISDN and PLMN over telephones. When a mobile subscriber chooses the type of an emergency call on the menu of an MS/UE or dials 112, the call is connected to a record notification device. Then the device instructs the subscriber how to call the emergency center. The subscriber can make an emergency call without a SIM/USIM card. Compared with the telephony function, the processing of the emergency call does not include authentication and specific routing requirements. An emergency call is of higher priority than an ordinary call.

Name Emergency call for special service

Definition When a mobile subscriber dials an emergency number for a special service, the call is connected to a corresponding special service center that is nearest to the base station. The special service center consists of the fire alarm center, bandit alarm center, first-aid center and traffic center. Such kind of call can generate alarms. Carriers can decide whether to charge the subscriber.
NOTE The difference between the emergency call for special service function and the emergency call function is that: When a CM service is required, the emergency call for a special service is considered as an ordinary call. The MSC processes the number as a special service number after analyzing the number. While for the emergency call function, there is a parameter indicating that this is an emergency call.

Note PSTN = public switched telephone network; ISDN = integrated services digital network; PLMN = public land mobile network; SIM = subscriber identity module; USIM = UMTS Subscriber identity module

The call involved in the speech service can be classified into mobile originated call (MOC) and mobile terminated call (MTC), depending on the role of a mobile subscriber in a call.

MOC
If a mobile subscriber makes a call, this call is an MOC. In an MOC, the MSC server/visitor location register (VLR) and media gateway (MGW) perform the following functions: Security control This step is optional. If you do not select it, the MSC server/VLR and MGW directly perform the following functions: Creating a user panel bearer at the caller side Checking subscription data Pointing to the route of the call to the destination

MTC
If a mobile subscriber receives a call, the call is an MTC. In the universal mobile telecommunications system (UMTS), all network elements (NEs) cooperate with each other to route the call to the mobile subscriber. During the setup of an MTC, the designated MSC server queries the location information of the callee in the home location register (HLR) to which the callee belongs, because only the HLR stores such information. If the caller is also a mobile subscriber, the MSC server/VLR to which the caller belongs initiates the query. If the caller is a fixed line subscriber, the gateway mobile switching center (GMSC) server initiates the query.

1.1.3 Benefits
Table 1-3 lists the benefits for carriers and mobile subscribers. Table 1-3 Benefits for carriers and mobile subscribers Beneficiary Carriers Mobile subscribers Description The speech service increases the income of carriers. The speech service enables mobile subscribers to freely move around the PLMN, and make and receive calls in any place at any time. The service also enables mobile subscribers to make emergency calls without SIM/USIM cards.

1.2 Availability
1.2.1 Requirements for NEs
The speech service requires the cooperation of the user equipment (UE)/mobile station (MS), NodeB/base transceiver station (BTS), radio network controller (RNC)/base station controller (BSC), and core network (CN). For details, see Table 1-4. Table 1-4 NEs involved in the speech service UE/MS NodeB/BTS RNC/BSC MSC Server MGW SGSN VLR HLR

means the NE is required.

1.3 Working Principle


The NEs in the PLMN cooperate with each other to implement MOCs or MTCs. MOCs and MTCs enable mobile subscribers to freely move around the global system for mobile communications (GSM)/UMTS, and make and receive calls in any place at any time.

1.3.1 MOC
The processing of the MSC/VLR to an MOC consists of the following aspects: MOC initiation MOC completion

MOC Initiation
MOC initiation is triggered by the Service request sent from the MS to the MSC/VLR over a radio access network (RAN). Based on the Service request, the following services are processed in MOC initiation: Telephone call and data call Emergency call Input controlled by subscribers Short message The security function is enabled in MOC initiation, based on the Service request. This means that the MSC server/VLR performs authentication, encryption/decryption, and/or temporary mobile subscriber identity (TMSI) reassignment. This function, however, can also not be enabled. Authentication The authentication function defines whether a mobile subscriber is authorized to access the PLMN. The function prevents invalid subscribers from using the services that the network provides. In the GSM and UMTS, the MS/UE, VLR/serving GPRS support node (SGSN) and HLR/authentication center (AuC) cooperate with each other to implement authentication. The MS and AuC calculate authentication parameters respectively. Then the VLR/SGSN compares the two results, to verify the validity of the MS/UE. In the UMTS, the UE can also verify the validity of the network.

HUAWEI MSOFTX3000 Feature Description

Encryption/Decryption In the UMTS, cipher key (CK) guarantees the confidentiality of access data. Secret signaling information and data information are encrypted. That is, logical channels are encrypted. Integrity key (IK) guarantees the integrity of signaling data. CK and IK are stored in the USIM and VLR/SGSN, and sent from the VLR/SGSN to the RNC with the security mode command. This helps to encrypt channels. The USIM can also send the CK and IK to the UE based on the requirements of the UE. That is, the UE stores a copy of the CK and IK. The VLR/SGSN must update the CK and IK at least once a day. In the GSM, encryption/decryption guarantees the information exchange through the wireless interface. Therefore, the MS and base station subsystem (BSS) are loaded with the same CK. TMSI reassignment The MSC server/VLR assigns a TMSI to a mobile subscriber periodically. This function is to prevent intruders from monitoring the signaling on wireless channels and identifying mobile subscribers. To guarantee the confidentiality, TMSI is reassigned at the right time. When a subscriber makes an emergency call without a SIM/USIM, international mobile station equipment Identity (IMEI), instead of TMSI or IMSI, is used to identify the subscriber. This means that the MSC server/VLR does not perform authentication, encryption/decryption and TMSI reassignment. Call setup between the calling MS/UE and the visited MSC server After the service acceptance message is received or the encryption is complete, the MS sends a Setup message to the visited MSC (VMSC) server. Then the VMSC server returns a Call Proceeding message to the calling MS/UE. Setup of a user panel bearer at the caller side The MSC server sends a Prepare Bearer request to the MGW, which assigns asynchronous transfer mode (ATM) resources dynamically. The MSC server then sends a Radio Access Bearer (RAB) Assignment message to the radio network subsystem originated (RNS-O). The RNS-O creates the ATM bearer resources at the access side together with the MGW through bearer establishment.

MOC Completion
The MSC/VLR checks subscription data and service compatibility. If the check is passed, the Connection request from the mobile subscriber is accepted. Then the originating MSC/VLR assigns service channels and occupies ground circuits, to continue the call.

1.3.2 MTC
An MTC is generated when a subscriber in the PSTN/ISDN/PLMN dials the MSISDN of a mobile subscriber. The processing for the MTC consists of the following aspects: Route information query MTC initiation and completion

Route Information Query


Route information is used to transfer a call to the MSC/VLR that is in the roaming domain of the mobile subscriber. To obtain the route information, the VMSC/GMSC initiates a query by the steps as follows:

HUAWEI MSOFTX3000 Feature Description

1. 2. 3. 4.

The MSC server begins to query after receiving an MSISDN. The MSC server queries the information of the callee in the HLR to which the callee belongs. The MSC translates the MSISDN and the results include the information of the HLR. The HLR requests the mobile station roaming number (MSRN) from the VLR. The HRL stores the current VLR number of the subscriber and dynamically updates the number, depending on the location of the subscriber. The HLR finds the VLR sequentially based on the mapping between the VLR and ISDN, and then requests the MSRN from the VLR. The VLR assigns a temporary MSRN to the callee. MSRN is only used to transfer the call from the GMSC or originating MSC to the VMSC/VLR that is in the roaming domain of the mobile subscriber. The MSRN is released when the call reaches the VMSC/VLR. During the requirement for the MSRN, the VMSC/VLR transfers the MSRN to the GMSC through the HLR. During the query, the HLR/AuC and VMSC/VLR check subscription data and service compatibility.

5. 6.

7.

MTC Initiation and Completion


After the call is routed to the VMSC/VLR, the MSC/VLR connects the call by the steps as follows if the number analysis result report accepts the MSRN assigned by the VLR. 1. The MSC/VLR must, in the location area, check the cell where the mobile subscriber locates. The MSC/VLR checks the cell by paging. If the mobile station responds to the paging, it means the mobile subscriber is detected. The MTC initiation begins. This means that the system performs authentication, encryption, TMSI reassignment and equipment control, if required. 2. The MSC/VLR assigns service channels, occupies ground circuits and plays ringing tones. If the mobile subscriber answers the phone, the MTC is complete. Now the call is connected and the MSC begins to collect the call detail records (CDRs) for charging the subscriber.

1.3.3 MMC
A mobile-to-mobile call (MMC) is between two mobile subscribers. An MMC can be considered as an MOC plus an MTC. The MOC takes place first, followed by the MTC. The originating MSC/VLR initiates and completes the MOC. The service MSC/VLR initiates and completes the MTC. The originating MSC/VLR also queries the route to the MS/UE. If the two mobile subscribers register with the same MSC/VLR and all service channels are exchanged in the same MSC/VLR, the service MSC/VLR initiates and completes the MOC and MTC. The service MSC/VLR queries the information of the callee in the HLR.

1.4 Service Flow


The flows in this section are applied to the telephony function and emergency call function. The difference between the two functions is that there is no requirement for authenticating the access of the MS in an emergency call.

CKSN stands for ciphering key sequence number. 2. The network may initiate authentication and encryption. During the process, the network may obtain authentication set from the HLR/AuC. The MSC/VLR must send a Command ID message to the RNS on not identifying the TMSI of the UE, to obtain the IMSI of the UE. Step 3 takes place immediately after step 1 if there is no security management, which consists of authentication, encryption, TMSI reassignment and identity obtaining. After the service acceptance message is received or the encryption is complete, the UE sends a Setup message to the VMSC server. After receiving the Setup message, the VMSC server returns a Call Proceeding message to the calling UE. A user panel bearer begins to be created at the caller side. The VMSC server sends a Prepare Bearer request to the MGW. The MGW assigns ATM resources dynamically and sends a Prepare Bearer response containing TerminationId (T1). The MSC server then sends an RAB Assignment message to the RNS-O. The RNS-O creates the ATM bearer resources at the access side together with the MGW through bearer establishment. The GMSC server sends an Initial Address Message with Information (IAI) message to the PSTN. The PSTN returns an Address Complete Message (ACM) message after receiving the IAI message, and sends the ringback tone for the calling MSC. After the callee hangs up, the called UE sends an ANC message to the network side. The PSTN stops sending the ringback tone. The caller and callee begin to talk on the phone. If the caller hangs up first, the calling UE sends a Disconnect message to the GMSC server.

10. The GMSC server sends a Clear Forward Signal (CLF) message to the PSTN and instructs it to disconnect the connection. 11. The PSTN returns a Release Guard Signal (RLG) message to the GMSC server after disconnecting the connection. 12. The GMSC server releases transaction resources by sending a Release message to the calling UE. 13. The calling UE sends a Release Complete response after receiving the Release message. 14. The GMSC server releases resources on the user panel after sending two Release Termination messages to the MGW. The two messages are sent through the Iu interface and ISDN User Part (ISUP) trunk respectively.

The PSTN subscriber sends an IAI message containing the MSISDN of the callee to the GMSC server. The GMSC server determines the HLR that the callee belongs to by analyzing the MSISDN. The GMSC creates a signaling connection to the HLR and sends a request for routing. After receiving the request, the HLR checks the subscription data of the callee, and finds the VLR and MSC server to which the callee currently belongs. The HLR creates a signaling connection to the VLR based on the VLR number, and requests the MSRN of the callee. The VLR sends the MSRN of the callee to the HLR after finding the number. The HLR forwards the MSRN to the GMSC server. The GMSC server sends the IAI message to the VMSC server/VLR based on the MSRN. The VMSC server/VLR initiates paging to locate the callee after identifying the MSRN. After the VMSC server receives the paging response from the called UE, step 10 takes place immediately after step 8 if there is no requirement for authentication, encryption and TMSI reassignment.

10. The network initiates authentication, encryption and TMSI reassignment. During the process, the network may obtain authentication set from the HLR/AuC. The MSC/VLR must send a Command ID message to the RNS on not identifying the TMSI of the UE, to obtain the IMSI of the UE. 11. The VMSC server sends a Setup message to the called UE. 12. The VMSC server creates the user panel bearer after receiving the Call Confirmed message from the called UE. 13. The MSC server sends a Prepare Bearer request to the MGW. The MGW assigns ATM resources dynamically and sends a Prepare Bearer response containing TerminationId. The MSC server then sends an RAB Assignment message to the RNS. The RNS creates the ATM bearer resources at the access side together with the MGW through bearer establishment. 14. A transmission control panel and user panel must be created during assignment. The RAN sends the RAB Assignment response only after receiving an acknowledgement message of the creation of the user panel. 15. The VMSC sever creates a user panel bearer at the caller side at the same time. The callee picks up the phone. 16. The MSC server sends an ACM message to the calling UE after receiving an Alerting message, and sends a Send Tone message to the MGW, instructing it to play the ringback tone. 17. The called UE sends a Connect message to the MSC server after the callee picks up the phone. The MSC server sends an ANC message to the calling UE after receiving the Connect message from the called UE. Meanwhile, the MSC server sends a Stop Tone message to the MGW, instructing it to stop playing the ringback tone. 18. The VMSC server forwards a Connect ACK message to the called UE after receiving the message from the calling UE. The caller and callee begin to talk on the phone. 19. If the callee hangs up first, the called UE sends a Disconnect message to the VMSC server. The VMSC server then sends a CLF message to the calling UE. 20. The calling UE sends an RLG message to the VMSC server after the caller hangs up. The VMSC server releases transaction resources by sending a Release message to the called UE. 21.

The network may initiate authentication and encryption. During the process, the network may obtain authentication set from the HLR/AuC. Step 3 takes places immediately after step 1 if there is no security management, which consists of authentication, encryption, TMSI reassignment and identity obtaining. After the service acceptance message is received or the encryption is complete, the UE sends a Setup message to the MSC server. After receiving the Setup message, the MSC server returns a Call Proceeding message to the calling UE. A user panel bearer begins to be created at the caller side. The MSC server sends a Prepare Bearer request to the MGW. The MGW assigns ATM resources dynamically and sends a Prepare Bearer response containing TerminationId (T1). The MSC server then sends an RAB Assignment message to the RNS-O. The RNS-O creates the ATM bearer resources at the access side together with the MGW through bearer establishment. This step takes place together with step 5. The MSC server queries route information in the HLR. The HLR requests the MSRN from the VLR. The VLR initiates paging immediately after the MSC server requests the incoming call data from the VLR.

Table 1-6 Differences between early assignment and late assignment Early Assignment Chance of Assigning TCHs Caller Side Refers to assigning TCHs after the MSC sends a Call Proceeding message to the calling UE. Refers to assigning TCHs after the MSC receives the Call Confirmed message. Decreases call connection delay, thus improving the call connection ratio. Late Assignment Refers to assigning TCHs after the Alerting message.

Callee Side Advantages

Refers to assigning TCHs after the callee picks up the phone. Prevents TCHs from being occupied during ringing, thus improving the usage of TCHs.

Flow at Callee Side (Early Assignment)


1. 2. The MSC server receives a Paging response from the callee. The network may initiate authentication, encryption and TMSI reassignment. During the process, the network may obtain the authentication set from the HLR/AuC. If no authentication is required, step 3 takes place immediately after step 1. The MSC server sends a Setup message to the called UE. The MSC server creates user panel bearer after receiving a Call Confirmed message from the called UE. The creation process is similar to that of the ATM bearer at the caller side. A transmission control panel and user panel must be created during assignment. That is, Q.AAL2 must be created and ISUP must be initiated. The RAN sends the RAB Assignment response only after receiving an Establish Confirm message. The MSC server forwards an Alerting message to the calling UE after receiving the Alerting message from the called UE. The MSC server also sends a Send Tone message to the MGW and instructs it to play the ringback tone. The VMSC server forwards a Connect message to the calling UE after receiving the Connect message from the called UE. After receiving the Connect message, the MSC server sends a Stop Tone message to the MGW and instructs it to stop playing the ringback tone.

5. 6. 7.

8. 9.

10. The calling UE also sends a Connect ACK message to the MSC sever, which then forwards the message to the called UE. The caller and callee begin to talk on the phone.

Call Disconnection
1. 2. The caller hangs up first. At this moment, the calling UE sends a Disconnect message to the MSC server/VLR, which then forwards the message to the called UE. The called UE releases transaction resources by sending a Release message to the VMSC/GMSC, which then forwards the message to the calling UE and releases the transaction resources. The calling UE sends a Release Complete response after receiving the Release message.

1.6 Service Management


1.6.1 For Carriers
Carriers can provide and cancel the speech service through the HLR client. You do not have to subscribe to the emergency call service at the HLR client. The service is opened automatically when you open an account. The management of carriers to the speech service consists of the following aspects: Providing the speech service Canceling the speech service
For the details on configuration steps and parameter description, see the manuals relevant to the HLR.

1.6.2 For Mobile Subscribers


There is nothing for mobile subscribers to do to manage the speech service.

1.7 Charging and CDR


1.7.1 Generation of CDR
In each call, the MSOFTX3000 collects call data and generates CDRs. The CDRs are the basis for carriers to charge mobile subscribers. The MSOFTX3000 collects call data, generates original CDRs, and stores the CDRs in the bill pool. 1. 2. 3. 4. The MSOFTX3000 transfers the original CDRs to the iGateway Bill (iGWB) in real time. The iGWB processes the original CDRs and generates final CDRs. The iGWB transfers the final CDRs to the charging center. The PLMN carriers generate telecom CDRs based on the final CDRs.

The iGWB collects, stores, sorts and transforms the original CDRs generated by the MSOFTX3000. It also provides an access interface for the charging center. This ensures that the correct CDRs are transferred to the charging center in time. In addition, the iGWB transforms original CDRs to final CDRs based on subscriber requirements.

1.7.2 CDR for Ordinary Call


CDR for the Call Between Two Mobile Subscribers Under the Same VMSC
A and B are mobile subscribers under the same VMSC. A is the caller and B is the callee. Figure 1-9 shows the process of generating CDRs under this condition.

HUAWEI MSOFTX3000 Feature Description

The TMSC generates a transit (TRANSIT) record, which is the reference for calculating the charge of occupied trunks in the local network. The GMSC generates a gateway outgoing (GWO) record, which is the reference for calculating the charge of occupied outgoing trunks between the wireless network and the fixed network. If the end office directly routes the call to the GMSC (without passing the TMSC), and then to the PSTN, no TRANSIT record is generated.

The TRANSIT record and GWO record are defined by MOD GBILLCTRL. That is, TRANSIT records can be generated not only by the TMSC, and GWO records can be generated not only by the GMSC. For example, in practice, if an end office directly connects to a switch in another network and acts as a gateway office, the end office can also generate GWO records after relevant data is configured.

CDR for the Call from Fixed Line Subscriber to Mobile Subscriber
A is a fixed line subscriber and B is a mobile subscriber. The call from A to B involves the GMSC. The process of call connection is as follows: 1. 2. 3. 4. The switch in the fixed network sends an IAI message to the GMSC. The GMSC obtains the MSRN of B. The GMSC routes the call to the TMSC after obtaining the MSRN. The TMSC routes the call to the VMSC.

VMSC 1 generates a CDR for the MOC and the charged subscriber is A. VMSC 2 generates a CDR for the MTC and the charged subscriber is B. TMSC 1 generates a TRANSIT record. GMSC 1 generates a GWO record, which is the reference for calculating the charge of occupied outgoing trunks between the two wireless networks. GMSC 2 generates a GWI record, which is the reference for calculating the charge of occupied incoming trunks between the two wireless networks.

1.7.3 CDR for Emergency Call


After a mobile station successfully originates an emergency call, the MSC server at the caller side generates a CDR for the emergency call. The CDR consists of the source and destination of the call, and user identity. The CDR is stored in the iGWB and waits to be sent to the charging center. The CDR for an emergency call is of the same format as an MOC bill. Emergency call observation flag is set to True, and the service code is of an emergency call. If a subscriber makes an emergency call without a SIM/USIM, the network identifies the subscriber through IMEI.

Name Short message MO/PP (SMS-MO) Short message MT/PP (SMS-MT) Code WMFD-010201 WMFD-010202

2.1.2 Definition
The short message service (SMS) allows subscribers to send or receive information through the short message center (SMC).The information can be texts, pictures, and voices. "Short" means that the length of information sent in the SMS is short. A point to point (PTP) short message (SM) can have up to 140 bytes in size, that is, 160 ASCII characters or 70 Chinese characters. A broadcast SM can have 82 bytes per page, that is, 92 ASCII characters or 41 Chinese characters. A macro broadcast message can have up to 15 pages that are sent continuously. The PTP SMS allows subscribers to send or receive SMs at any time. The broadcast SMS allows subscribers to receive public information periodically and selectively. The SMSs fall into two categories: PTP SMSs and PTM SMSs. PTM is short for point to multipoint. The PTM SMSs mainly refers to the cell broadcast SMSs. The PTP SMSs fall into two categories: SM MT service (TS21) SM MO service (TS22) This chapter describes only the PTP SMSs. Name Mobile-Terminated Short Message (SM MT) Definition It refers to a process in which the SMC sends an SM to the mobile station (MS) and the MS returns a report indicating success or failure of the SMS.

Definition It refers to a process in which the MS sends an SM to another MS through the SMC and the SMC sends a report indicating success or failure of the SMS to the MS. The following figure shows the process.
Short message submission SMC report MS

Alert Service Centre (Alert SC)

Alert SMC Mobile Station Reachable If the SMS in the SM MT flow fails because of paging no reply or subscriber no answer, the SMC sends an SM status report to the HLR, containing the MSISDN of the callee and the address of the MO SMC. The HLR stores the information in the message waiting data (MWD) list and enables the Mobile Station Not Reachable Flag (MNRF).The VLR also enables the MNRF. At the same time, the SMC temporarily stores the SM that fails to be sent. When the MS makes or receives a call, or re-registers with the network through a location update, the VLR sends an SM ready alert with the cause as mobile subscriber reachable to the HLR if the VLR detects that the MS interacts with the network and the MNRF flag stored in the VLR indicates subscriber not reachable. Alert SMC Memory Ready If the SMS in the SM MT flow fails because of MS memory overflow, the SMC sends an SM status report to the HLR, containing the MSISDN of the callee and the address of the SMC. The HLR stores the information in the MWD list and enables the Mobile Station Memory Capacity Exceeded Flag (MCEF). At the same time, the SMC temporarily stores the SM that fails to be sent. If the MS deletes an SM and the memory released can be used to receive new messages, the MS sends a message indicating memory ready to the MSC server. Upon receipt of the message, the MSC server sends a message indicating memory of MS ready to the HLR. The HLR receives the message and checks the MCEF. The HLR sends an SM ready alert to the SMC specified in the MWD list.

2.1.3 Benefits
Beneficiary Carriers Description The SMS can help to provide value added services, information inquiry services, and services such as website SMS and pictures. It also expands service types and improves the average revenue per user (ARPU).

HUAWEI MSOFTX3000 Feature Description

NE VLR

Function It authenticates the subscriber to whom the SMC sends an SM. It provides routing for the MSC when the SMC sends an SM to the subscriber through the MSC.

SGSN

When an SM sent by the MS reaches the SGSN through the RAN, the SGSN forwards it to the SMC. After receiving an SM sent from the SMC, the SGSN forwards it to the MS through the RAN.

HLR

Before the SMC sends an SM, the HLR searches the MSC that serves the subscriber. If authentication is required when the MSC sends an SM, the MSC requests the authentication set from the VLR. If there is no authentication set in the VLR, the MSC requests it from the HLR. In all other cases, the MSC does not request basic subscriber information from the HLR when sending an SM.

2.3.2 Short Message Transfer Path


When different network access modes are used, the SM transfer paths are different. Table 2-4 lists the details. Table 2-4 Functions of NEs in the transmission of SMs Network Access Mode SGSN Short Message Transfer Path GMSC -> SGSN -> MS If the SGSN fails to forward an SM to the MS, the GMSC sends it to the VMSC. This is similar to the transfer means used in the GSM network. MSC GMSC -> VMSC -> MS

If the GMSC supports the general packet radio service (GPRS), the HLR may return two numbers: an SGSN number and an MSC number. If the GMSC does not support the GPRS, the HLR returns one number and whether the number is an SGSN number or an MSC number is determined by MOD SMDP.

MAP_REPORT_SM_DELIVERY_STATUS
The flow is started by the GMSC to inform the HLR whether the SM sending succeeds or fails. Figure 2-3 shows the flow. If the message sending succeeds, the HLR clears the MNRF and MCEF of the subscriber and starts the Alert_Service_Centre flow to the SMC specified in the MWD list.

The messages with "(*)" are applicable to the MSC only, not the SGSN.

1. 2. 3. 4.

The MS sends an SM to the VMSC server or the SGSN through the A/Iu interface. Upon receipt of the SMS request, the VMSC server sends a subscriber data check request to the VLR based on the MSISDN of the MS. The VLR checks the subscription information and whether the local office supports the SMS, and sends the result to the VMSC server. The VMSC server analyzes the result. If the local office does not support SM MO, or it registers the outgoing call barring service, the VMSC server directly sends a reject message (RP_ERROR) to the MS. Otherwise, the VMSC server obtains the address of the SMC from the SM MO and transparently transmits the SM MO to the SMC. Upon receipt of the request, the SMC checks whether the data is valid. If yes, the SMC sends a message to the VMSC server or the SGSN to acknowledge the transparent transmission of the SM MO. Upon receipt of the message, the VMSC server or the SGSN sends the result of SM MO sending to the MS.

Upon receipt of the SM MT, the SMC obtains the called number and uses it to request the routing information from the HLR. Upon receipt of the routing information, the HLR returns a response.
When the priority of the SM MT is high, the HLR returns a normal response to the SMC even if the MNRF and the MCEF are enabled.

The HLR searches the information of the subscriber in the database and returns a message with a failure cause to the SMC if one of the following occurs: The subscriber does not exist. Roaming is not allowed. Carrier determined call barring barring of all incoming calls or SMs MT The SM MT service is not supported. The MNRF is enabled. The MCEF is enabled. The subscriber is deleted by the MSC server/VLR to which the subscriber roams. If none of the preceding events occurs, the HLR sends the MSC number or the SGSN number to the SMC. 3. 4. 5. By using the MSC number, the SMC sends a transparent transmission request to the VMSC server. Upon receipt of the request, the VMSC server sends a request for checking SM MT subscriber data to the VLR. The VLR checks the subscription data and mobility management status:

If the subscriber cannot be paged because the subscriber does not support SM MT, the handset is powered off, the MNRF is enabled, or the roaming is not allowed, the VMSC server sends a failure response to the SMC. If the location area of the MS is known, the VMSC server starts paging the MS in the specific location area. If the location area of the MS is unknown, the VMSC server starts paging the entire area controlled by the MSC server.

6. 7. 8.

The VMSC server pages the MS. The MS sends a response to the VMSC server. (8)(9)(10): Upon receipt of the response, the VMSC server starts the subscriber access process. After the process is complete, the VMSC server sends the SM to the MS through the Iu interface. (11)(12): After receiving the result from the MS, the VMSC server sends it to the SMC.

The MS makes or receives a call or updates the location to re-connect with the network. The MSC server sends an access request to the VLR if the MS makes or receives a call. Or the MSC server checks the data of the subscriber who updates the location if the MS updates the location. The VLR checks subscriber data. If the VLR detects that the MNRF of the subscriber is enabled, the VLR clears the MNRF and informs the HLR that the SM is ready with the cause as mobile subscriber reachable. The VLR directly sends a location update request to the HLR in the case of a location update flow. If the HLR receives the SM ready alert, it checks the dynamic data of the subscriber. If the MNRF is enabled, the HLR clears it, sends an Alert_Service_Centre message to the SMC, and sends a message to the VLR to acknowledge the sending of the SM ready alert. If the HLR receives a location update request and the MNRF in the dynamic data of the subscriber is enabled, the HLR clears the MNRF, sends an Alert_Service_Centre message to the SMC, and continues the location update flow.
The HLR sends the Alert_Service_Centre message to all SMCs specified in the MWD list. The HLR sends the Alert_Service_Centre message only when the MCEF of the MS is set to False.

The SMS uses signaling or voice channels to send characters. An SMS CDR, different from an ordinary voice call CDR, contains the following elements: Number of bytes: It indicates the actual number of bytes of the UserPart in an SM. It is the actual length of an SM after decoding. Address of SMC: It indicates which SMC is used for communication.

SMS CDR of Caller


If an SM is successfully sent to the SMC, the VMSC server that serves the subscriber who sends an SM generates an SMS CDR for the caller. The SMS CDR contains the IMSI and MSISDN of the caller, the number of the caller, the SMC address in E.164 format, the charging flag, the additional charging flag, and the content of the SM. The CDR files are saved in the iGWB. Based on FTAM or FTP, the iGWB sends the CDR files to the billing center through the TCP/IP connection. FTAM is short for File Transfer Access and Management Protocol.

SMS CDR of Callee


When a subscriber receives an SM, the VMSC server that serves the subscriber generates an SMS CDR for the callee. The SMS CDR contains the IMSI and MSISDN of the callee, the number of the caller, the SMC address in E.164 format, the charging flag, the additional charging flag, and the content of the SM.

Table 2-5 Interaction between the SMS and other services Service Call barring Interaction The SM MO service is related to the following services: Barring of all outgoing calls (BAOC) Barring of outgoing international calls (BOIC) Barring of outgoing international calls except those directed to the home PLMN (BOIC-exHC) The SM MT service is related to the following services: Barring of all incoming calls (BAIC) Barring of incoming calls when roaming outside the home PLMN country (BICRoam) Call forwarding Hot billing It does not interact with the SMS. It interacts with the SM MO service. When a subscriber subscribes to the hot billing service, a hot billing flag is generated for each SM sent or received. The hot billing flag provides the charging data for all services of a subscriber. It is immediately sent to the billing center. Handover No SM can be sent during an intra-MSC or inter-MSC handover. An SM can be sent after the handover is complete. A handover request is rejected when an SM is being transmitted. The handover continues after the transmission of an SM is complete. IMSI attach/IMSI detach It interacts with the SM MT service. When the VLR sets the subscriber to IMSI detach, the subscriber is not reachable. If the SM is sent to a subscriber who is in IMSI detach state, the SM is stored in the SMC. After the IMSI is attached, the SMC tries to resend the SM.

Table 3-5 lists the applicable versions of the call forwarding service. Table 3-5 Applicable versions Product MSC Server MGW MSOFTX3000 UMG8900 Applicable Version V100R002 and later versions V200R002 and later versions

3.3 Working Principle


3.3.1 Functions of the NEs
The MSC server, the MGW, and the VLR work together to implement functions such as signaling processing, data analysis, announcement playing, and billing. The MSC server and the MGW work together to implement the announcement playing function. The MGW is mainly used to load the announcement files related to the call forwarding services. PSTN switches are used to process the calls forwarded to them and then route the calls to the destination PSTN terminal. Two steps need to be implemented on the HLR to ensure the normal operation of the call forwarding services: Call forwarding registration FTNs are analyzed and rectified in this step. Call forwarding triggering analysis The system determines which service to be triggered in this process. For example, the system may determine whether to trigger the CFU or the CFNRc service and return the FTN to the GMSC.

3.3.2 Service Flow Inside the System


Based on the call forwarding types, the service flow inside the system can be divided into GMSC-originated forwarding and VMSC-originated forwarding.

The GMSC server requests the routing information from the HLR of the callee. The HLR checks the authentication and subscription information of the callee. If the callee has subscribed to the CFU service or if the callee has subscribed to the CFNRc service and the call forwarding conditions are met, the HLR does not returns the MSRN but the forwarded to number (FTN) and the call forwarding causes directly to the GMSC server. The GMSC server determines the target subscriber based on the FTN and sends forwarding notification (if the callee has subscribed to the service to notify the caller when forwarding occurs) to the caller. The GMSC server sets up the call to the forwarded-to subscriber based on the FTN.

The VMSC-originated call forwarding service flow is as follows: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. An incoming call to the callee is routed to the GMSC server. The GMSC server requests the routing information from the HLR of the callee. The HLR checks the authentication and subscription information of the callee. The HLR obtains the MSRN of the callee from the VLR. The GMSC server requests the VMSC server of the callee to set up the call based on the MSRN. The VMSC server requests the subscription information of the callee from the VLR. The VLR returns the call forwarding service information to the VMSC server. For CFNRy, it also returns the value of the no reply timer. After receiving the subscription information of the callee, the VMSC server checks whether the conditions to trigger the call forwarding service are met. The triggering principles are as follows:

7.

The CFNRy service is triggered if the no reply timer expires. The CFB service is triggered if the callee is busy. The CFNRc service is triggered if the callee does not respond to the paging, the MS of the callee is powered off, or the channel allocation fails.

8.

If the conditions for triggering a call forwarding service are met, the VMSC server requests the FTN from the VLR.

The CFU service flow for call forwarded to a PSTN subscriber is as follows: 1. 2. The GMSC sends the Info req message to the HLR. The HLR returns the Info ack message to the GMSC.

On detecting that the callee has subscribed to and activated the CFU, the HLR includes the FTN in the Info ack message and sends the message to the GMSC server. The GMSC server forwards the call based on the FTN. If the Info ack message contains the information element Notification to calling party, the GMSC server sends the notification to the caller. If the subscriber has not registered to the CFU service, the call is routed to MSC Server B normally.

The CFU service flow for a call forwarded to a mobile subscriber is as follows: 1. 2. 3. The GMSC sends the Info request message to the HLR. The HLR returns the Info ack message to the GMSC. On detecting that the callee has subscribed to the CFU, the HLR includes the FTN in the Info ack message and sends the message to the GMSC server. The GMSC server forwards the call based on the FTN. If the Info ack message contains the information element Notification to calling party, the GMSC server sends the notification to the caller. The GMSC server sends the Info request message to HLR C where the forwarded-to subscriber resides to request the routing information. HLR C sends the Info ack message containing the routing information to the GMSC server. After receiving the routing information, the GMSC sends the Set-up message to MSC server C. MSC server C is responsible for paging the target mobile subscriber.

Withdrawal The operation is performed by the carriers. It makes a service unavailable to the subscribers. Its reverse operation is provisioning. Registration The operation is performed by the carriers or the subscribers. The operation is mainly used to input some dedicated supplementary service information. For certain services, the registration process also activates the services. Its reverse operation is deregistration. Deregistration The operation is used to delete the information input in the HLR in the registration. Its reverse operation is registration. Activation The operation is performed by the service providers, the subscribers, or the system. The operation makes the service ready for provisioning. Its reverse operation is deactivation. Deactivation The operation is performed by the service providers, the subscribers, or the system. It is used to terminate the process started by the activation operation. Its reverse operation is activation. The call forwarding services are activated once they are registered. You need not to activate a call forwarding service separately. A call forwarding service should be first provided, and then registered before it can be used by the subscribers. The call forwarding service has two operation modes, as shown in Table 3-6.

3.7 Charging and CDR


3.7.1 Charging Principle
Assume that the caller is A, the callee is B, and the forwarded-to subscriber is C. After querying the information and status of subscriber B, the originating MSC (or GMSC) routes the call to the office where the subscriber C resides, as shown in Figure 3-13.

Figure 3-13 Charging of the call forwarding services


Subscriber A MSC A MSC B Subscriber B

GMSC

Subscriber C

Charging Principle: Subscriber B, who has initiated the call forwarding, is charged as a caller, not as a callee. A separate CDR is created for the call forwarding service. In the CDR, B is the caller, C is the callee, and A is the third party.

3.7.2 Difference Between CFU and CCF in Judging an International Call


Call Forwarding (CF) refers to all the call forwarding services. Conditional Call Forwarding (CCF) consists of CFB, CFNRy, and CFNRc. In CFU, the MSC server within the country initiates the call forwarding and sends the Set-up message to the MSC where the forwarded-to subscriber resides. In CCF, the MSC server that the subscriber roams to initiates the call forwarding and sends the Set-up message to the MSC where the forwarded-to subscriber resides. Therefore, CFU and CCF define international numbers differently for the charging of international roaming. In the CFU service, an FTN is considered as an international number if it is not a number within the country. In the CCF service, an FTN is considered as an international number if it is not a number within the country where the callee roams to.

The CFNRc service initiated by the GMSC judges an international number in the same way as the CFU service.

3.7.3 CDR Creation Principles


Assume that the caller is A, the callee is B, and the forwarded-to subscriber is C. The CDR creation principles are shown in Table 3-13.

Table 3-13 CDR creation principles Subscriber Type A, B, and C are GSM/UMTS subscribers and belong to the same MSC. CDR Creation Principle For subscriber A: The MSC creates a Mobile Originated Call (MOC) CDR with the A as the caller, B as the callee, and C as the third party. For subscriber B: The MSC creates a call forwarding CDR, with B as the caller, C as the callee, and A as the third party. The service feature indication is CALL_FORWARD_OTHER.

Table 3-14 lists the interaction between the CFU and other services. Table 3-14 Interaction between the CFU and other services Service CFU and CLIP Interaction The number of the caller is presented to the forwarded-to subscriber if: The call is forwarded. The forwarded-to subscriber subscribes to the CLIP service. The caller does not activate CLIP service. CFU and CLIR The CFU has no interaction with the CLIR. That is, if the caller subscribes to and activates CLIR, the forwarded-to subscriber cannot display the MSISDN of the caller unless the forwarded-to subscriber has the override capability. CFU and COLP If the callee forwards a call without notifying the caller, the caller cannot receive the call forwarding notification. When the call is answered, the number of the forwarded-to subscriber is not presented to the caller unless the forwarded-to subscriber has the override capability. In other cases, CFU has no interaction with COLP. CFU and COLR The CFU and the COLR have the following interactions: If the forwarded-to subscriber subscribes to the COLR service, the forwarded-to number will not be sent to the caller in the call forwarding notification. If the caller subscribes to the COLR service and has the override capability, the forwarded-to number will not be included in the call forwarding notification. When the call is answered, however, the override capability can be invoked to display the forwarded-to number.

Table 4-1 lists the names and codes of the functions. Table 4-1 Names and codes of functions Name CLIP CLIR COLP COLR Code WMFD-020301 WMFD-020302 WMFD-020303 WMFD-020304

Note: CLIP = Calling Line Identification Presentation; CLIR = Calling Line Identification Restriction; COLP = Connected Line Identification Presentation; COLR = Connected Line Identification Restriction

4.1.2 Definition
Line identification services are classified into two types: One is supplementary services that provide and restrict connected line identification for callers; the other is services that provide and restrict calling line identification for callees. Line Identity (LI) consists of the following information: ISDN/MSISDN number of subscriber Subaddress information (optional). The Public Land Mobile Network (PLMN) is not responsible for the content of subaddress. Calling Line Identity (CLI) identifies callers and Connected Line Identity (COL) identifies connected parties that refer to callees communicating with callers lastly. For common calls, connected parties indicate callees. For forwarding calls, forwarding target parties indicates callees. In some special applications, callers/callees are provided with additional CLI (aCLI) and additional COL (aCOL). When sending LI or additional Line Identity (aLI), the network additionally sends Presentation Indicator (PI) and Screening Indicator (SI): PI

4.1.3 Types
Line identification services are classified into CLIP, CLIR, COLP and COLR. Name CLIP Definition CLIP is a supplementary service provided for callees. The service provides calling line identification for callees. CLIP and CLIR are mutually exclusive. That is, when a callee activates the CLIP and the caller activates the CLIR, service conflict occurs. In general, the CLIR enjoys higher priority than the CLIP. Therefore, when service conflict occurs, the system processes according to the CLIR service. But if Override Category of the CLIP is Enable, the system processes according to the CLIP when service conflict occurs. CLIR CLIR is a supplementary service provided for callers. The service restricts that calling line identification is provided for callees. Carriers can provide the CLIR service for subscribers in permanent, temporary allowed and temporary restricted modes. Permanent mode: The CLIR service is invoked for every call. Temporary allowed mode: In default status, the CLIR service is not invoked. Subscribers can invoke the CLIR service temporarily through the menus of some mobile phones. Temporary restricted mode: In default status, the CLIR service is invoked. Subscribers can suppress the CLIR service temporarily through the menus of some mobile phones. COLP COLP is a supplementary service provided for callers. The service provides connected line identification for callers. COLP and COLR are mutually exclusive. That is, when a caller activates the COLP and the callee activates the COLR, service conflict occurs. In general, the COLR enjoys higher priority than the COLP. Therefore, when service conflict occurs, the system processes according to the COLR service. But if Override Category of the COLP is Enable, the system processes according to the COLP when service conflict occurs. COLR COLR is a supplementary service provided for callers. If a subscriber is a callee, the service restricts that connected line identification is provided for callers.

4.1.4 Benefits
Table 4-2 lists the beneficiaries and description of the benefits. Table 4-2 Beneficiaries and description of the benefits Beneficiary Carriers Mobile subscribers Description The line identification services add values of services. After the CLIP service is provided, a subscriber can identify callers based on numbers presented by Mobile Station (MS) to determine whether to answer phones. Also, if the subscriber is unavailable to answer, the subscriber can reply later based on presented numbers. After the CLIR service is provided, a subscriber numbers is not presented on the MS of callee. Thus, the caller number can be kept secret. After the COLP service is provided, if a callee activates forwarding service and notifies the caller, forwarding number is presented on the MS of the caller. After the COLR service is provided, a called number is not presented on the MS of caller. After the COLR service is provided for a forwarding subscriber, forwarding number is not presented on the MS of caller.

4.3 Working Principle


4.3.1 Service Data Management
The HLR performs the following functions: Completes the management operations of carriers on service data. Modifies the subscription information that it stores. Updates the subscription information in the VLR by inserting subscriber data.

4.3.2 CLIP
The following section describes the working principle of the CLIP service: The Gateway MSC (GMSC) obtains CLI, PI, SI and possible aCLI, aPI and aSI from the VLR or incoming signaling, configures them in outgoing signaling and then sends them to the MSC of callee. Based on the earlier mentioned information and callee CLIP subscription information stored in the VLR, the MSC of callee determines whether to send CLI information to the callee.

4.3.3 CLIR
The following section describes the working principle of the CLIR service: A subscriber initiates a call. (For subscribers that subscribe CLIR temporary mode, the parameter whether to invoke the CLIR may be sent at that time.) The MSC of caller determines CLI, PI and SI in outgoing signaling based on CLIR subscription information stored in the VLR and CLI, PI and SI in A interface signaling. The MSC of caller sends corresponding CLI information in the outgoing signaling.

HUAWEI MSOFTX3000 Feature Description

4.3.4 COLP
The following section describes the working principle of the COLP service: When a callee answers the phone, the answer message sent by the MSC of callee to the MSC of caller carries COL, PI, SI and possible aCOL, aPI and aSI information. Based on COL, PI, SI and possible aCOL, aPI and aSI in incoming signaling, and caller COLP subscription information stored in the VLR, the MSC of caller sets the COL information to be sent to the caller. The MSC of caller sends answer message with COL information to the caller.

4.3.5 COLR
The following section describes the working principle of the COLR service: A callee answers the phone. The message sent to the MSC of callee carries COL, PI and SI. The MSC of callee sets COI, PI and SI to be sent to the MSC of caller based on callee COLR subscription information stored in the VLR and COL, PI and SI in A interface signaling. The MSC of callee sends answer message with COL, PI and SI to the MSC of caller.

5.1.1 Function Code
Table 5-1 lists the name and code of the function. Table 5-1 Name and code of the function Name Call completion supplementary services Code WMFD-020400

5.1.2 Definition
The call completion supplementary services provide two services: call waiting (CW) and call hold (CH). Subscribers can choose either one to process two calls at the same time. Table 5-2 lists the name and definition of the CW and CH services. Table 5-2 Name and definition of the CW and CH services Name CW Definition The CW service enables a mobile subscriber to be notified of an incoming call notification under the following conditions: There is no idle service channel for the incoming call. The subscriber is in conversation, or has a call on hold. The subscriber can determine to accept, reject, or ignore the incoming call. The caller receives notifications during call waiting. For one subscriber, only one waiting call is allowed, and the system disconnects the subsequent incoming calls instantly. CH The CH service enables a mobile subscriber to interrupt the current call temporarily, and retrieve the call later if required. When the call is interrupted, the system reserves the traffic channel allocated for the call. When a call is on hold, and no active call is set up, a subscriber can: Retrieve the held call.

5.1.3 Benefits
Table 5-3 lists the beneficiaries and description of the benefits. Table 5-3 Beneficiaries and description of the benefits Beneficiary Carriers Mobile subscribers Description The call completion supplementary services add values of services, and improve the call completion rate. Subscribers can activate and deactivate the CW service freely. This indicates that subscribers can control the CW service flexibly. After the CW service is activated, a subscriber can answer another call in conversation. Therefore, the subscriber can select the one that is more important. When the CH service is activated, a subscriber can hold the current call, and answer another call. This minimizes the possibility of missing calls, and improves the call completion rate.

5.3 Working Principle


5.3.1 Service Data Management
Management on Service Data
The HLR performs the following functions: Completes the management operations of carriers on service data Modifies the subscription information stored in the HLR Updates the subscription information in the VLR by inserting subscriber data

Activation and Deactivation of CW


When a subscriber initiates the activation or deactivation operation, the MSC transparently sends the operation message to the HLR. The HLR modifies the subscription information stored in the HLR based on the message, and then updates the subscription information in the VLR by inserting subscriber data. For the CH service, there is no activation or deactivation operation.

5.3.2 Working Principle of CW


The following section describes the working principle of the CW service. When subscriber B is in conversation, the MSC receives a call from C to B (a C-B call). The MSC queries the subscription information of B. If the CW service is activated for B, the MSC processes the CW service. The MSC sends a SETUP message for setting up the C-B call to the MS. The message carries a CW indication. Currently, an A-B call is active or on hold. Therefore, the MS informs B of the incoming call based on the CW indication. At the same time, the MS sends a response to the MSC, indicating that B is busy. After receiving the response, the MSC waits for the ALERTING message from the callee.

5-4

Huawei Technologies Proprietary

Issue 02 (2007-06-10)

HUAWEI MSOFTX3000 Feature Description

5 Call Completion Supplementary Service

Upon receiving the ALERTING message, the MSC starts the CW timer T2 and the no-reply timer T3. The MSC then waits for the answer of B. At the same time, the MSC sends an ALERTING or ACM message to C, carrying the CW indication. Before B answers or disconnects the call, the MSC of B plays an announcement to C, instructing C to wait for the call. If B answers before T2 and T3 time out, the MS sends a CONNECT message to the MSC for connecting the C-B call. The MSC sends a response to the MS, and sends an acknowledge to C, indicating that the C-B call is set up. If B rejects the call before T2 and T3 time out, the MSC follows the normal flow to disconnect the waiting call. If T2 or T3 times out, the MSC sends a DISCONNECT message to B and C respectively, instructing them to release the C-B call.

5.3.3 Working Principle of CH


Overview
The following sections describe the working principle of the CH service, including two parts Holding a call Retrieving a call

Holding a Call
The following section describes the working principle for holding a call. 1. 2. 3. 4. A holds the call when A is in conversation with B. MS A sends a HOLD request to the MSC. The MSC queries the subscription information of A. If the CH service is activated for A, the MSC processes the CH service. The MSC determines whether to accept the request for the CH service based on the CH activation indication and other factors, for example, whether there is a held call. If the MSC rejects the request, it returns a HOLD REJECT message to MS A. The conversation between A and B continues. If the MSC accepts the request, it returns a HOLD ACKNOWLEDGE message to MS A, reserves the channel allocated for the current call, and sends a message to B or the MSC of B at the same time to notify B.

5.

Retrieving a Call
The following section describes the working principle for retrieve a call. 1. 2. 3. 4. A retrieves the A-B call. MS A sends a RETRIEVE request to the MSC. If the MSC rejects the request, it returns a RETRIEVE REJECT to MS A. The conversation between A and B continues. If the MSC accepts the requests, it returns a RETRIEVE ACKNOWLEDGE message to MS A, retrieves the connection of the original channel, and sends a message to B or the MSC of B at the same time to notify B.

5.7 Charging and CDR


5.7.1 CW
The MSOFTX3000 provides two ways to generate CDRs for the CW service: Independent charging Segment charging Independent charging means that the MSOFTX3000 generates the following CDRs: The event CDR containing the CW indicator and time stamp based on the CW notification The original MOC or MTC CDR for the whole A-B call

HUAWEI MSOFTX3000 Feature Description

5 Call Completion Supplementary Service

The integrated Gateway Bill (iGWB) integrates the event CDR into the supplementary service domain of the original mobile originated call (MOC) or mobile terminated call (MTC) CDR to generate the final MOC or MTC CDR. Segment charging means that the MSOFTX3000 generates an intermediate MOC or MTC CDR at the time when a CW notification is generated. The billing center combines the group of CDRs, and processes other charging. The CW indicator and time stamp are in the last CDR. The MSOFTX3000 controls the mode for generating CDRs and the frequency for generating event or intermediate CDRs through the integrated CDR control tables of CHG Parameter 1 Bit 7. Usually, independent charging is adopted. The following gives an example of independent charging for the CW service. The scenario is as follows: A in the local office calls B in another office. C in another office calls A when A is in conversation with B. The supplementary service domain in the MOC CDR generated by the local office for the A-B call records the supplementary service operation. The supplementary service indicator is CW, and the time stamp is the time when a SETUP message is sent to A.

5.7.2 CH
The MSOFTX3000 provides two ways to generate CDRs for the CW service: Independent charging Segment charging Independent charging means that the MSOFTX3000 generates the following CDRs: The event CDR containing the CH indicator and time stamp based on the hold and retrieve operations The original MOC or MTC CDR for the whole call The iGWB integrates the event CDR into the supplementary service domain of the original MOC or MTC CDR to generate the final MOC or MTC CDR.

5.8 Service Interaction


5.8.1 CW
Table 5-9 lists the interactions between the CW service and other services. Table 5-9 Interactions between the CW service and other services Service CW and CFU Interaction The CFU service takes precedence over the CW service. When a callee who has both the CW and CFU services activated is called, the incoming call is forwarded unconditionally based on the CFU service, instead of being processed based on the CW service. CW and CFB The CW and CFB services are compatible. If the callee is NDUB, the system directly processes the incoming call based on the CFB service, without notifying the subscriber. If the callee is UDUB, the system notifies the subscriber, and the subscriber determines how to process the incoming call (process it based on the CFB or CW service). CW and CFNRy If both CFNRy and CW services are activated, a subscriber can receive the CW indication when serving as the callee. If the subscriber does not send any response before the expiry of the No Reply Condition timer, the call is processed based on the CFNRy service. If both CW and CH services are activated, a subscriber can use the CH service to answer a waiting call. If the subscriber is in conversation, and has a call on hold, the subscriber can still receive a CW indication, but cannot answer the call. If the subscriber is not in conversation, but has a call on hold, the subscriber can receive a CW indication. CW and CLIP The CLIP and CW services are compatible. If both CLIP and CW services are activated, the incoming call is processed based on the CW service, and the MS of the subscriber displays the number of the caller. The CW and MPTY services are compatible. If a subscriber has an active MPTY call, the subscriber can receive a CW indication when being called. When holding the MPTY call, the subscriber can answer the waiting call. CW and BAIC CW and BIC-ROAM The BAIC service takes precedence over the CW service. When the BAIC service is activated, the CW service cannot be activated. The activation of the BAIC service does not affect any waiting call. The BIC-ROAM service takes precedence over the CW service. When roaming out of the HPLMN, a subscriber cannot activate the CW service if the BIC-ROAM service is activated. The activation of the BIC-ROAM service does not affect any waiting call.

6.1.1 Function Code
Function Name Multiparty SS (MPTY) BOM WMFD-020500

6.1.2 Definition
The served mobile subscriber is the mobile subscriber who can invoke the MPTY. The served mobile subscriber, namely, the main controller, controls the MPTY when the MPTY is active. The remote party is the party except the served mobile subscriber in the MPTY calls.

The MPTY provides multiple call connections for one subscriber. That is to say, three or more than three subscribers can take part in a session at the same time. The maximum number of subscribers that the MSOFTX3000 can support through the MPTY is six. When a served mobile subscriber has an active call and an on-hold call, and when both calls are answered, the served mobile subscriber can invoke the MPTY to combine the two calls to an MPTY call. In this case, the served mobile subscriber can communicate with the remote subscriber. As for the MPTY calls, the served mobile subscriber can realize the following functions: Hold the MPTY call and resume the call in subsequent sessions. Initiate a new call and hold the MPTY call. When there is an MPTY call and a single call, alternate the two types of calls or add the single call to the MPTY call. Set up personal communications with the remote subscribers, namely, session separation. Disconnect a remote subscriber. Release an MPTY call.

6.1.3 Benefits
Beneficiary Carrier Mobile Subscriber Description The MPTY service can produce service increments. The user can hold a call conference as a main controller at any time. Multiple subscribers can discuss together, which make the communications more convenient.

6.7 Charging and CDR


There are two modes to generate the bill of MPTY service for the MSOTX3000, independent charging and segmented charging. The independent charging indicates that the MSOTX3000 generates the following two kinds of bills based on the BuildMPTY and SplitMPTY operations: Event bill containing the MPTY mark and time stamp Original bill of MOC/MTC for complete A-B and A-C calls The iGWB inserts the contents of event bill to the corresponding supplementary service field for original bill of the MOC/MTC. Then, the final MOC/MTC is generated. The segmented bill indicates that the MSOTX3000 generates a group of intermediate bill of the MOC/MTC based on the time interval between the BuildMPTY and the SplitMPTY operations. The charging center combines the bills or processes the other charging. The mark and time stamp of MPTY are added to the latter segment of bill. The MSOTX3000 controls the mode created by bill, and the frequency created by the event bill, or intermediate bill through the CHG parameter 1 (P129) Bit 7 and integrated control table of bill. In usual cases, the independent charging is adopted. The following is an independent charging case for MPTY call. In the following occasions, The subscribers A under the MS C server calls the subscriber B in other offices. During the communications of A-B, subscriber A holds a call and calls the subscriber C in other offices.

Table 6-5 Interactions between the MPTY and the other services Service MPTY and CLIP Interaction No matter when a served mobile subscriber adds a new remote subscriber to an MPTY call, the remote subscriber subscribing the CLIP and involving the MPTY service cannot receive the number of remote subscriber newly added. The MPTY and the forwarding services do not affect each other. The calling party: When the calling party tries to set up the MPTY call with the called party subscribing the call forwarding service, the forwarding subscriber hears rings and is added to the conference if the forwarding meets the trigger conditions. Forwarding subscriber: When the forwarding subscriber sets up the MPTY call, the forwarding call existed is added to the conference as a connection of the MPTY call. MPTY and CW The MPTY and CW do not affect each other. If a subscriber activates a MPTY call, the subscriber receives a call on hold notice when other subscribers call the subscriber. When the subscriber sets the MPTY call to on hold, the subscriber can answer the call on hold. MPTY and CH Subscribing CH service is the prerequisite of subscribing the MPTY service. If a subscriber activates a MPTY call, the subscriber (the served subscriber or the remote subscriber) is allowed to hold the MPTY call and resume the call. MPTY and BO If the BO service is activated after invoking the MPTY call, the outgoing call of the MPTY is not affected by the BO service.

7.1 Service Description


7.1.1 Function Code
Table 7-1 lists the name and code of the function. Table 7-1 Name and code of the function Name Call barring services Code WMFD-020400

7.1.2 Definition
Call barring supplementary services allow mobile subscribers to perform barring for incoming or outgoing calls with special properties.

7.1.3 Types
Call barring services are classified into two types: barring of outgoing calls (BO) and barring of incoming calls (BI). The BO service includes: Barring of All Outgoing Calls (BAOC is for short.) Barring of All Outgoing International Calls (BOIC is for short.) Barring of Outgoing International Calls except those directed to the Home PLMN Country (BOIC-exHC is for short.) The BI service includes: Barring of All Incoming Calls (BAIC is for short.) Barring of Incoming Calls When Roaming Outside Home PLMN Country (BIC-ROAM is for short.)

BAOC
After the service is activated, a mobile subscriber cannot initiate calls.

BOIC
After the service is activated, a mobile subscriber cannot call any subscriber (including mobile subscriber or fixed network subscriber) outside the country where the caller is.

BOIC-exHC
After the service is activated, a mobile subscriber cannot call any subscribers outside the country (homing to the PLMN) where the caller roaming. After the subscriber is roaming outside the country homing to the PLMN, the subscriber can call only subscribers (mobile subscribers or fixed network subscribers) in homing countries.

7.3 Working Principle


7.3.1 Service Data Management
Management on Service Data
The HLR performs the following functions: Completes the management operations of carriers on service data. Modifies the subscription information that it stores. Updates the subscription information in the VLR by inserting subscriber data.

Registration
If the service controller of the call barring services is subscribers, subscribers can modify the password used for service control through registration. The MSC transparently sends the registration operation message to the HLR, and then updates the subscription information in the VLR by inserting subscriber data.

Activation and Deactivation


If the service controller of the call barring services is subscribers, when a subscriber initiates activation or deactivation operation, the MSC transparently sends the operation message to the HLR. The HLR modifies the subscription information that it stores based on the message, and then updates the subscription information in the VLR by inserting subscriber data

If the activated call barring service conflicts with other activated services, the activation may fail. For details, see section 7.8 "Service Interaction."

7.3.2 BO
The following section describes the working principle of the BO service. A subscriber initiates a call. The MSC initiates the operation of fetching subscriber information for outgoing call to the VLR.

7 Call Barring Service

The VLR checks the service based on BO information of the subscriber and call property of the outgoing call. Then the VLR sets the call barring indication based on the check result and sends the indication to the MSC. For service check procedures by the VLR for BAOC, BOIC and BOIC-exHC services, see Figure 7-1, Figure 7-2 and Figure 7-3. The MSC determines whether to perform call barring based on the call barring indication. If the call barring indication is Yes, the MSC releases the call; if the call barring indication is No, the MSC processes the call according to normal flow.

7.3.3 BI
The following section describes the working principle of the BI service. A subscriber initiates a call. The (G)MSC initiates the operation of fetching route information to the HLR. The HLR checks the service based on BI information of callee and call property of the incoming call. Then the HLR sets the call barring indication based on the check result. For service check procedures by the HLR for BAIC and BIC-ROAM services, see Figure 7-4 and Figure 7-5. The HLR determines whether to perform call barring based on the call barring indication. If the call barring indication is Yes, the HLR indicates to reject the call in the response to the operation of fetching route information; if the call barring indication is No, the HLR processes the call according to normal flow.

The MS sends the SETUP message to the MSC server. The VLR of the MSC server checks the service based on BO service information and call property. Then the VLR sets call barring indication based on the check result. For service check procedures, see Figure 7-1, Figure 7-2 and Figure 7-3. The MSC determines whether to perform call barring based on the call barring indication. If the call barring indication is Yes, the MSC sends the RELEASE COMPLETE message or other release message to the MS to release the call. The parameter Facility contains invocation component of NotifySS operation. The SS-Code of the component refers to service code of the BO service. The SS-Status indicates that the BO service is in activated or deactivated status. If the call barring indication is No, the MSC processes the call according to normal flow.

1.

If a caller is an MS, the MS sends the SETUP message to the MSC server. If the caller is a fixed network subscriber, the PSTN office sends originated call message (such as the IAM message) to the GMSC server through trunk signaling. The (G)MSC server initiates the SRI operation to the HLR b that callee homes. The HLR b checks the service based on BI service information and call property. Then the HLR b sets call barring indication based on the check result. For service check procedure, see Figure 7-4 and Figure 7-5. If the call barring indication is Yes, the HLR b sends the SRI ack message to the (G)MSC server. The parameter User error in the message is Callbarred. If the caller is an MS, after receiving the SRI ack message, the MSC server b sends the RELEASE COMPLETE or other release message to the MS. Then the MSC server b releases the call according to normal flow that is omitted in the figure. If the caller is a fixed network subscriber, the GMSC server sends release message (such as the REL message) to caller office and releases the call according to normal flow that is omitted in the figure. If the call barring indication is No, the HLR processes the call according to normal flow.

HUAWEI MSOFTX3000 Feature Description

8.1 Service Description


8.1.1 Function Code
Table 8-1 gives the function code of the explicit call transfer (ECT). Table 8-1 Function code of the ECT Name Explicit Call Transfer Code WMFD-020800

8.1.2 Definition
When the served mobile subscriber A has two on-going calls respectively with subscribers B and C, subscriber A can use the ECT function to connect B and C, and then A exits the call. The call between A and B (A-B call) or the call between A and C (A-C call) can be an incoming call or an outgoing call. Before the ECT is triggered, the A-B call and A-C call can be in the active state at the same time, or one of them is in the active state and the other is in the alerting state.

Intelligent subscribers do not support the ECT. The served mobile subscriber refers to the mobile subscriber who invokes the ECT.

8.1.3 Benefits
Table 8-2 gives the benefits of the ECT. Table 8-2 Benefits of the ECT Beneficiary Carrier Mobile subscriber Description Value added services are provided and call connection rate is increased. After the ECT function is provided, subscriber A can transfer a call to another subscriber during the conversation. In this case, subscriber A can flexibly determine the callee and the location of the callee.

HUAWEI MSOFTX3000 Feature Description

8.3.3 Invoking the ECT


Both the A-B Call and A-C Call Are in the Active State
The A-B call is in the active state. A holds the call with B and calls C. Then the A-C call is established. The working principle is as follows: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. The MS A sends the FACILITY message to the MSC to prompt subscriber A to invoke the ECT. After receiving the FACILITY message, the MSC queries the subscription information of subscriber A. If the ECT is to be provided, the MSC then handles the ECT service. The MSC sets up the B-C call. The MSC sends a notification to subscriber B to inform B of call recovery and call transfer. (The B-C call is in the active state.) The MSC sends a notification to subscriber C to inform C of call transfer. (The B-C call is in the active state.) The MSC returns the response message and disconnection request to subscriber A. Then subscriber A exits the call.

The A-B Call Is in the Active State and the A-C Call Is in the Alerting State
The A-B call is in the active state. A holds the call with B and calls C. C is in the alerting state. The working principle is as follows: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. The MS A sends the FACILITY message to the MSC to prompt subscriber A to invoke the ECT. The MSC receives the FACILITY message and queries the subscription information of subscriber A. If the ECT is to be provided, the MSC then handles the ECT service. The MSC sets up the B-C call. The MSC sends a notification to subscriber B to inform B of call recovery and call transfer. (The B-C call is in the alerting state.) The MSC sends a notification to subscriber C to inform C of call transfer. (The B-C call is in the alerting state.) The MSC returns the response message and disconnection request to subscriber A. Then subscriber A exits the call. After subscriber C answers the call, the MSC sends a notification to subscriber B to inform B that the call is in the active state.
If the mobile phone does not support the ECT service, invoke it through the unstructured supplementary service data (USSD).

8.4 Service Flow


8.4.1 A-B Call Is on Hold and A-C Call Is in the Active State
The carrier provides the ECT service for subscriber A. A holds the call with B and calls C. The A-C call is established. Subscribers A, B and C belong to the same MSC server. Figure 8-1 shows the ECT service flow.

8.7 Charging and CDR


8.7.1 Introduction to the Charging Mode
There are two charging modes: Independent charging: The MSOFTX3000 generates the event CDR that contains the ECT flag and timestamp, and the original MOC/MTC CDR that contains the complete record of the A-B call and A-C call. The iGWB integrates the contents of the event CDR to the supplementary service field of the original MOC/MTC CDR to generate the final MOC/MTC CDR. Segmented charging: The MSOFTX3000 generates a group of MOC/MTC CDRs with the B-C call duration as the interval. The charging center integrates the CDRs. The ECT flag and timestamp are contained in the integrated CDR. The MSOFTX3000 controls the charging mode through parameter Bit 5 (P134) and the CDR control table.

To set the CHG parameter Bit 5 (P134), refer to the software parameter table. To set the CDR control table, refer to the corresponding online help.

8.7.2 Independent Charging


The MSOFTX3000 only generates the CDR of the A-B call and A-C call. The CDR of the call between the remote ends (B-C call) will not be generated by the MSOFT3000. Table 8-7 lists the scenarios of generating the CDR. Table 8-7 Scenarios of the ECT independent charging Scenario CDR of Subscriber A in the A-B Call The Call Hold (CH) and ECT operations are recorded in the supplementary service field. Start time: B answers the call. End time: The B-C call is disconnected. CDR of Subscriber B in the A-B Call There is no record in the supplementary service field. Start time: B answers the call. End time: The B-C call is disconnected. CDR of Subscriber A in the A-C Call The ECT operation is recorded in the supplementary service field. Start time: C answers the call. End time: The B-C call is disconnected. CDR of Subscriber C in the A-C Call There is no record in the supplementary service field. Start time: C answers the call. End time: The B-C call is disconnected.

During the A-B call, A holds the call with B and calls C. After C answers the call, A invokes the ECT. The B-C call is disestablished.

Interaction If B is the caller in the A-B call and registers with the CLIR. The number of B must not be sent to C. If B is the caller in the A-B call and B (or C) registers with the COLP, the number of C (or B) must be sent to B (or C). But if C (or B) also registers with the COLP, the number is not required to be sent to B (or C). If the A-C call is established before the ECT, the number of C must be sent to B after A invokes the ECT. If the A-C call is established after the ECT, the number of C must be displayed during the connection. If B (or C) is the caller and B (or C) registers with the COLP (OVERRIDE CATEGORY COLP) service, the number of the peer end is displayed after the ECT is invoked.

ECT and COLR

If A is the caller in the A-B call and B registers with the COLR service, the number of B must be hidden to C. If A is the caller in the A-C call and C registers with the COLR, the number of C must be hidden to B. If C registers with the CFB, the call is forwarded to D on C busy. If C registers with the CFNRy, the call is forwarded to D when C does not answer the call. The CFNRy timer is not restarted during the call forwarding. The ECT and CFNRc services do not affect each other. If A is in idle state after invoking the ECT, there will be no CW indication. If A has a CW before the ECT, process it as an ordinary terminated call. If C registers with the CW and the A-C call is in the waiting state, B will receive the CW indication after the ECT.

9.1.2 Definition
The Operator Determined Barring (ODB) is kind of service through which the PLMN operator determines the access capability of the users to the UMTS or GSM network.

The ODB is similar to the call restriction supplementary service. The differences between these two services are as follows: The service state of the user subscribing to ODB is determined by the operator, and that of the latter type can be determined by both the operator and the user. The ODB service is activated once it is provided to the user, and the latter type must be activated by the user.

9.3 Working Principle


The ODB requires the corporation of the HLR, MSC, VLR, and the SGSN. The MSC processes signaling, analyzes data, and plays announcements. The HLR stores the subscription data, determines whether to trigger the ODB, and sends subscription data of the user to the VLR. The VLR stores temporally the subscription data of the user which is to be queried by the MSC. The SGSN processes all the signaling related with packet services.

9.4 Service Flow


9.4.1 Barring of Incoming Calls or MS MT
Procedure of Barring of Incoming Calls
The HLR checks whether the user subscribes to the ODB barring of incoming calls after receiving a routing request from an MS. If the user subscribes to this service, the HLR sends a refusing message that contains error message to the MSC (or GMSC). The MSC (or GMSC) then sends the error message to the network of the calling party, and the calling party hears the prompt tone defined by the operator.

Procedure of Barring of SM MT
The HLR checks whether the user subscribes to the ODB barring of SM MT after receiving a routing request from an MS. If the user subscribes to this service, the HLR sends a refusing message that contains error message to the MSC (or GMSC). The MSC (or GMSC) then sends the error message to the related short message center.

9.4.2 Barring of Outgoing Calls or MS MO


The MSC checks the user information in the VLR after receiving a service request launched by the user subscribing to barring of outgoing calls. If the outgoing call barring of the user is

9 ODB Service

HUAWEI MSOFTX3000 Feature Description

activated, the MSC refuses the call request of the user and returns a refusing message which contains the cause value. The MSC needs to analyze the number of the called party to determine whether the following types of calls are barred: International calls Outgoing international calls except the home PLMN country Premium rate calls If a user subscribes to BOC-ROAM and roams to non-HPLMN countries, the MSC/HLR bars all the calls originated by this user and returns a refusing message which contains the cause value.

9.4.3 Barring of Roaming


If a mobile subscriber subscribes to the ODB barring of roaming, and if the subscriber launches registration to the VLR in the roaming restriction area defined by this barring of roaming service, the VLR sends a location update request to the HLR. The HLR checks the identifier of the VLR and determines that the VLR is in the roaming restriction area. Then the HLR responses a location canceling message and refuses the location update.

9.4.4 Barring of Supplementary Services


If a mobile subscriber subscribes to barring of supplementary services, and if the user launches a supplementary service operation, the HLR or MSC/VLR refuses the request and sends an error message to the mobile subscriber.

9.4.5 Barring of Packet Services


The procedure of the PDP context activation launched by a barred MS is as follows: If the SGSN receives a PDP context activation request, and if the MS subscribes to the ODB barring of packet services, the SGSN returns a refusing message which contains error message. The procedure of the PDP context activation launched by a barred network is as follows: If the HLR receives a routing request message to a certain MS, and if the routing request contains the PDP context activation information, the HLR checks the subscription data of the MS. If the MS subscription data contains the data for ODB barring of packet services, the HLR responses a refusing message which contains error message. Then the GGSN sends the error message to the network that launches the PDP context activation.

9.5 Data Configuration


9.5.1 Data Configuration for MSOFTX3000
The MSOFTX3000 can control the ODB service through call prefix table and service check table: You can add call prefix by using the command ADD CNACLD. You can perform service check through certain call prefix.

ODB has higher priority over supplementary services. If the ODB conflicts with supplementary services, the supplementary services will be barred. If the ODB barring of call forwarding is activated, the user is not allowed to register call forwarding services. The HLR (incoming calls) or the VLR (outgoing calls) checks the ODB service state and then the CUG service state when it receives a call request. The HLR (incoming calls) or the VLR (outgoing calls) checks the ODB service state and then the call barring service state when it receives a call request.

10.1.2 Definition
Authentication is a process used for a network to verify the validity of an UE. In the UMTS, an UE can also verify the validity of a network. Authentication, as part of the security management of a wireless network, guarantees the confidentiality and integrity of the wireless network, so that illegal subscribers cannot use the services that the network provides.

10.1.3 Benefits
Table 10-2 lists the benefits for carriers and mobile subscribers. Table 10-2 Benefits for carriers and mobile subscribers Beneficiary Carriers Description Authentication is an elementary feature of a network. Authentication enables carriers to verify the validity of MSs/UEs, and prevents illegal subscribers from accessing the network and using the services that the network provides. Authentication protects mobile subscribers from illegal attack.

10.3 Working Principle


In the GSM and UMTS, the MS/UE, visitor location register (VLR) and authentication center (AuC) cooperate with each other to implement authentication. The MS/UE and AuC calculate authentication parameters respectively. The VLR then compares the two results, to verify the validity of the MS/UE. In the UMTS, the MS/UE can also verify the validity of the network.

10.4 Service Flow


10.4.1 UMTS Authentication
UMTS authentication takes place when a UMTS subscriber accesses the UMTS with a UMTS subscriber identity module (USIM) card. Figure 10-1 shows the flow of UMTS authentication. Figure 10-1 Flow of UMTS authentication
Uu UE RAN 1. Send a service request (call setup/location update/ supplementary serice/SMS) 2. Send a MAP request (CKSN, IMSI/TMSI) 5. Start authentication 5 5 (RAND, AUTN) 3. Send a request for authntication parameters ( IMSI) 4. Return parameters IMSIRANDCK IKAUTNXRES RANAP Iu MSC MAP B VLR MAP D HLR/AuC

6. Refuse authentication (XMAC MAC) 6. Synchronization fails (SQNHE SQNMS) 7. Send an authentication response

AuC re-synchronization

7. Accept the request/ Refuse the request Sends an acceptance response Authentication succeeds legal UE Authentication fails illegal UE

8. Compare SRES and XRES

Explanations of the flow of UMTS authentication are as follows: 1. 2. The UE sends an authentication request to the mobile switching center (MSC). The authentication of services is defined by the data configured on the MSC. The MSC sends a MAP_PROCESS_ACCESS_REQUEST to the VLR, requesting the authentication set from the VLR.

If there are available authentication sets in the VLR, the VLR returns the RAND and AUTN contained in the authentication set to the MSC before starting authentication. The MSC then directly transfers the two parameters to the UE over the RAN, without interacting with the AuC. That is, step 5 takes place immediately after step 2. If no available authentication set is in the VLR, step 3 takes place.

3. 4. 5.

The VLR requests the authentication set from the AuC. The AuC returns one to five groups of quintuples to the VLR based on actual conditions. The VLR starts authentication.

10-4

Issue 02 (2007-06-10)

HUAWEI MSOFTX3000 Feature Description

10 Authentication Feature

6.

The UE calculates the authentication parameters XMAC and SQNMS at the UE side, based on the RAND and AUTN returned by the VLR. The UE then compares the XMAC and SQNMS with the MAC and SQNHE in AUTN.

If MAC is not equal to XMAC, the authentication of the UE to the network fails. In this case, the VLR reports the authentication failure message to the AuC. If the difference between SQNMS and SQNHE is not within the specific range, it means the authentication of the UE to the network fails. In this case, the VLR sends a re-synchronization message to the AuC. The re-synchronization flow is similar to the flow of obtaining authentication set from the AuC. The difference is that the MAP_SEND_AUTHENTICATION_INFO message carries the re-synchronization information containing AUTS and RAND. After receiving the re-synchronization message, the AuC calculates MAC based on the RAND in the message, and compares the MAC with the MAC-S in AUTS, to judge whether the re-synchronization is valid. The AuC adjusts its own SQNHE based on the SQNMS in AUTS, and calculates a new group of authentication values for the VLR. The VLR starts authentication again with the new group of authentication values, and returns AUTN and RAND to the UE. After that, steps 3 and 4 are repeated. If the validity verification succeeds, then the authentication succeeds.

7. 8.

The UE calculates XRES based on the AUTN and RAND returned from the VLR, and sends an authentication response carrying XRES to the VLR. The VLR compares the XRES returned by the UE with the XRES calculated by the AuC.

If the two values are different, the VLR sends an authentication rejection response to the UE. The UE receives the response. This means the UE is invalid and the authentication fails. If the two values are the same, the authentication of the network to the UE succeeds. In this case, the network sends a response to the UE, indicating that the service or location update is accepted.

10.4.2 GSM Authentication


GSM authentication takes place under one of the following conditions: A GSM subscriber accesses the GSM with a SIM card. A GSM subscriber accesses the UMTS. A UMTS subscriber accesses the GSM. SIM stands for subscriber identity module. In GSM authentication, the MS does not have to authenticate the network. Figure 10-2 shows the flow of GSM authentication.

5. Start authentication 5 5 (CKSN, RAND)

6. Send an authentication response 6 Sends an acceptance response 7. Accept the request/ Refuse the request Authentication succeeds legal UE Authentication fails illegal UE 8. Compare SRES and XRES

Explanations of the flow of GSM authentication are as follows: 1. 2. The MS sends an authentication request to the MSC. The authentication of services is defined by the data configured on the MSC. The MSC sends a MAP_PROCESS_ACCESS_REQUEST to the VLR, requesting the authentication set from the VLR.

If there are available authentication sets in the VLR, the VLR returns the RAND and AUTN contained in the authentication set to the MSC before starting authentication. The MSC then directly transfers the two parameters to the MS, without interacting with the AuC. That is, step 5 takes place immediately after step 2. If no available authentication set is in the VLR, step 3 takes place.

3. 4. 5. 6. 7.

The VLR requests the authentication set from the AuC. The AuC returns one to five groups of triplets to the VLR based on actual conditions. The VLR starts authentication. The MS calculates SRES based on the RAND returned from the VLR, and sends an authentication response carrying SRES to the VLR. The VLR compares the SRES returned by the MS with the SRES calculated by the AuC.

If the two values are different, the VLR sends an authentication rejection response to the MS. The MS receives the response. This means the MS is invalid and the authentication fails. If the two values are the same, the authentication of the network to the MS succeeds. In this case, the network sends a response to the MS, indicating that the service or location update is accepted.

11 Enhanced MSRN Allocation Feature

HUAWEI MSOFTX3000 Feature Description

11.1 Service Description


11.1.1 Function Code
Table 11-1 lists the name and code of the function. Table 11-1 Name and code of the function Name Enhanced MSRN allocation Code WMFD-042400

11.1.2 Definition
Overview
The mobile station roaming number (MSRN) is used by the mobile switching center (MSC) to address callees. When the mobile station (MS) receives a call, the system instructs the visitor location register (VLR) to allocate a temporary MSRN to the MS based on the request of the home location register (HLR). An MSRN has a validity period, and the default value is 90 seconds. You can set the validity period in the VLR configuration table. There are several modes for allocating MSRNs. The parameter MSRN allocation mode specifies the mode adopted by the VLR to allocate roaming numbers for the mobile subscribers roaming to the local office. The default value is Allocate randomly. There are three MSRN allocation modes: Allocation based on the MSC number Allocation based on the LAI number Random allocation The mode of random allocation enables you to allocate roaming numbers based on the attribute of the call or the callee. The VLR can allocate specific roaming number resources through different allocation modes to meet various requirements.

Generally, the mode of random allocation can meet the requirements of networking except for certain special cases: In the multi-area network, you are recommended to set MSRN allocation mode to Allocate according to MSC number. When the location area identification (LAI) number is used for charging, you are recommended to set MSRN allocation mode to Allocate according to LAI number.

Allocation Based on the MSC Number


The VLR ranges the MSRN resources that the local VLR can use based on the MSC number in advance. That is, the VLR allocates MSRN resources for different MSC numbers.

HUAWEI MSOFTX3000 Feature Description

11 Enhanced MSRN Allocation Feature

When the home HLR of a mobile subscriber requests the local MSC or VLR to allocate an MSRN for the mobile subscriber, the local MSC or VLR allocates an idle MSRN randomly from the MSRN pool to which the MSC number of the callee corresponds.

The mapping between the MSRN and the MSC number is configured by using the command ADD MHMSCCFG.

Allocation Based on the LAI Number


The VLR ranges the MSRN resources that the local VLR can use based on the LAI number in advance. That is, the VLR allocates MSRN resources for different LAI numbers. When the home HLR of a mobile subscriber requests the local MSC or VLR to allocate an MSRN for the mobile subscriber, the local MSC or VLR allocates an idle MSRN randomly from the MSRN pool to which the LAI number of the callee corresponds.

The mapping between the MSRN and the LAI number is configured by using the command ADD MHLAICFG.

Random Allocation
The VLR does not range the MSRN resources that the local VLR can use in advance. When the home HLR of a mobile subscriber requests the local MSC or VLR to allocate an MSRN for the mobile subscriber, the local MSC or VLR allocates an idle MSRN randomly from all the MSRN pools that the local MSC or VLR can use. For the mode of random allocation, the VLR adds an extended function to the enhanced MSRN allocation service. The VLR divides roaming numbers into two types based on the attributes of the numbers: Intra-province roaming number The numbers of which MSRN/HON number type is set to MSRN and HON or MSRN are intra-province roaming numbers. Inter-province roaming numbers Inter-province roaming numbers are configured by using the command ADD IMHSUFFIX. Inter-province roaming numbers are classified into four types based on the attribute of the callee. The numbers of which MSRN/HON number type is set to any of the following values are inter-province roaming numbers:

MSRN outer province Is_O_CSI roaming type MSRN outer province No_O_CSI roaming type MSRN outer province Is_O_CSI local type MSRN outer province No O_CSI local type

When a roaming number is requested for an inter-province incoming call, the VLR allocates a roaming number from the corresponding roaming number resource pool based on the attribute of the callee. If the related inter-province roaming numbers are used up, the VLR allocates an intra-province roaming number so that the incoming call can be connected to the office.

11.3 Working Principle


11.3.1 Functions of NEs
The MSC server determines the MSRN allocation mode through data configuration. The VLR realizes MSRN allocation based on the configuration of the system.

11.3.2 Processing in the System


Messages are exchanged between the MSC server, VLR, and HLR through the Mobile Application Part (MAP) protocol.

The VLR and HLR exchange and transfer the requests for MSRN allocation. The MSC server performs the following functions: Exchanges information with the VLR and HLR through the C/D interface Checks the status of subscribers Conveys flag bits to the VLR The VLR allocates an MSRN based on the configuration in the MSC server, and records the information required after the call is connected. Figure 11-1 shows the simple MSRN allocation procedure.

1. 2. 3.

The (G)MSC server receives a call request from the caller. The (G)MSC server requests routing information from the HLR of the callee. The HLR checks compatibility and the feasibility of subscription. The HLR obtains an MSRN from the VLR because the HLR records the address of the VLR in the office to which the callee roams. The VLR checks the status of the subscriber, allocates an MSRN based on the current allocation mode, and returns the MSRN to the HLR.

4.

If MSRN allocation mode is set to Allocate according to MSC number, the VLR allocates an MSRN related to the MSC number of the callee. If MSRN allocation mode is set to Allocate according to LAI number, the VLR allocates an MSRN related to the LAI number of the callee. If MSRN allocation mode is set to Allocate randomly, the VLR allocates an MSRN from all MSRN pools. If the extended MSRN allocation function is enabled for the mode of random allocation, the VLR allocates a corresponding MSRN from the MSRN pool based on the attributes of the call and the callee.

5.

The HLR returns the MSRN to the (G)MSC server at the caller side.

6. 7. 8. 9.

The (G)MSC server sends a request for setting up the call to the VMSC server of the callee based on the MSRN. The VMSC sever queries the VLR for the subscription information of the callee. After receiving the subscription information of the callee, the VMSC server checks the information, and sends a paging request to the callee. The callee sends a response to the MSC of the callee.

10. The MSC of the callee analyzes access data, and sets up the call with the caller side. The UE of the callee rings.
MSRN allocation is processed at the callee side in the module. This section does not give details.

MAP_VLR_MSRNAllocate_RSP MAP_PROVIDE_ROAMING_NUMBER_RSP [msrn] [msrn]

Transfer the flag to the VLR after subscriber status check

The MSC server works with the HLR and VLR to realize the enhanced MSRN allocation function through the C/D interfaces. The MSC server analyzes the attribute of an incoming call. When receiving a request for allocating a roaming number from the HLR, the MSC server judges whether the incoming call is an inter-province call based on the gateway MSC (GMSC) number in the request. The MSC server then stores the Province Flag in the MAP table so as to transfer the flag to the VLR when allocating a roaming number. The VLR judges whether to use the inter-province roaming number resources based on the Province Flag in the request for allocating a roaming number, and then allocates a roaming number based on the attribute of the callee. If the inter-province roaming number resources of the callee are used up, the VLR allocates an intra-province roaming number so that the incoming call can be configured with a roaming number. The HLR must carry the GMSC number of the callee; otherwise, the MSC server cannot judge whether the incoming call is an inter-province call. In this case, the MSC server regards the incoming call as an inter-province call by default.

As shown in Figure 11-4, the MSRN or HON Prefix table, the MSRN or HON Suffix table, and the Inner MSRN or HON Suffix table are mandatory. The Mapping Between LAI and MSRN or HON table and the Mapping Between MSC and MSRN or HON table are applicable to different allocation modes. The mapping between the tables connected by the broken line is as follows: The MSRN or HON allocation mode is determined based on the parameter MSRN allocation mode or HON allocation mode in the VLR Configuration table. The command ADD MHLAICFG or ADD MHMSCCFG is selected to configure the data.
Both the MHSUFFIX commands and the IMHSUFFIX commands are used to configure the MSRN or HON Suffix table, but they configure different types of roaming numbers. The differences are as follows: The IMHSUFFIX commands can configure inter-province roaming numbers. The MHSUFFIX commands cannot configure the inter-province roaming numbers.

11 Enhanced MSRN Allocation Feature

HUAWEI MSOFTX3000 Feature Description

Configuration Steps
To configure an MSRN or HON, perform the following steps: Step 1 Run ADD VLRCFG to configure the basic functions of the VLR. The default allocation mode is Allocate randomly. Step 2 Run ADD MHPREFIX to configure the prefix of the MSRN. Step 3 Run ADD MHSUFFIX to configure the suffix of the MSRN. Step 4 To allocate an MSRN or HON based on the LAI number or the MSC number, modify the allocation mode by running MOD VLRCFG. Step 5 To enable the extended MSRN allocation function for the mode of random allocation, run MOD MSFP to change the value of BIT of VLR software parameter 1 to 1 from 11. Thus the roaming number resources are re-allocated, and the function of allocation based on the attributes of the call and the callee is enabled. Step 6 Run ADD IMHSUFFIX to add, or MOD IMHSUFFIX to modify the intra- and inter-province roaming numbers.

This step is applicable only when the extended MSRN allocation function for the mode of random allocation is enabled.

Step 7 Run ADD MSRNCTR to configure the GMSC connected to the local office in the case of an intra-province incoming call. This step is optional.

This step is applicable only when the MSRN allocation control function is enabled.

Step 8 For the mode of allocation based on the MSC number, run ADD MHMSCCFG to add the mapping between the MSC number and the MSRN or HON. Step 9 For the mode of allocation based on the LAI number, run ADD MHLAICFG to add the mapping between the LAI number and the MSRN or HON. ----End

There are two modes of assignments in call establishment, that is, early assignment and late assignment. The definitions of the two modes of assignments at the caller side are as follows: Name Early assignment Late assignment Definition In the call establishment, after sending the Call Proceeding message to the caller, the MSC server allocates traffic channels for the caller before routing the call to the network where the callee resides. In the call establishment, after sending the Call Proceeding message to the caller, the MSC server allocates traffic channels for the caller after routing the call to the network where the callee resides. Usually, the network resources are allocated after the MS of the callee rings.

The definitions of the two modes of assignments at the callee side are as follows: Name Early assignment Late assignment Definition The MSC server allocates the traffic channels for the subscriber after receiving the Call Confirmed message. Through the Setup message, the MSC server notifies the callee that the traffic channels are allocated in Late assignment mode. Then the callee sends the Call Confirmed message and then immediately the Alerting message to the MSC server. The MSC server determines when to allocate the traffic channels. Usually, the traffic channels are allocated after the callee sends the Connect message.

12.1.3 Benefits
Beneficiary Operator Description Late assignment can help to save the air interface resources. For example, if a subscriber dials the wrong number and immediately terminates the call, the MSC server needs not to allocate air interface resources for the subscriber. The operator can utilize well the air interface resources based on the actual assignment modes of each location area or service area. Early assignment can help to reduce the wait time of the subscribers and improve the call completion rate.

HUAWEI MSOFTX3000 Feature Description

12.3 Working Principle


The MSOFTX3000 supports both early and late assignments. The two assignment modes are both implemented by configuring the information table of the local location area or service area. In the call establishment, the MSOFTX3000 determines that the assignment mode of the call is early or late assignment by querying the information table of the location area or the service area. The assignment mode for some special services, for example, emergency calls and data services, is early assignment.

13.1.2 Definition
If MSOFTX3000 is adopted in the GMSC/SSP networking, and if the SCP interconnected with the MSOFTX3000 uses private INAP protocol, the MSOFTX3000 fails to trigger the intelligent service (IN service ) when processing IN calls of the IN service subscribers (the subscribers who subscribe to the IN service s in the HLR). To solve this problem, the MSOFTX3000 uses three modes to process the IN service s, as shown in Table 13-2. Table 13-2 Processing modes of the IN services Processing Mode Triggering IN service Routing out the call directly to another office Ignoring IN service Indication The MSOFTX3000 triggers the IN service in the O-CSI or T-CSI mode. The MSOFTX3000 does not trigger IN service and connects the call to the MSC/SSP that can trigger the IN service normally. The connected to MSC/SSP triggers the IN service. The MSOFTX3000 does not trigger IN service and connects the call as an ordinary call.

The carrier can determine the processing mode based on the actual situation.

The IN service triggering feature is supported only by the GMSC and TMSC.

13.1.3 Benefits
Beneficiary Carrier Mobile subscriber Description The carrier can control the IN service s more flexibly, thus the competitiveness of the carriers is highly enhanced. The subscribers can enjoy the IN services.

13.5 Data Configuration


13.5.1 Data Configuration for MSOFTX3000
If MSOFTX3000 is adopted in the GMSC/SSP networking, and if the SCP interconnected with the MSOFTX3000 uses private INAP protocol, the MSOFTX3000 fails to trigger the IN service when handling the IN service subscribers (the subscribers subscribe to the IN service in the HLR). To solve this problem, the operator needs to configure the IN service control data by using the command ADD INSRVCTRL in the following two cases: The carrier requires that the MSOFTX3000 connect the IN calls to MSC/SSP and that the MSC/SSP triggers the IN service. The carrier requires that the MSOFTX3000 connects the calls as ordinary calls (ignores IN service). When configuring the IN service control data, you can configure different processing modes (triggering IN service, routing out the call directly to another office, and ignoring IN service) according to the IN service triggering type, IN service key, and SCP address. You need pay attention that if the operator configures the IN service control data by using the command ADD INSRVCTRL, the charging of the IN service subscribers is affected. Therefore, the operator must be cautious when configuring this data. The operator can execute the command MOD GBILLCTRL to modify the integrated control data of the call detail record (CDR) to avoid any possible conflict between the carrier and the subscribers concerning the charging.

See online help for the descriptions of the parameters of related commands.

13 IN Service Triggering Feature

13.5.4 Example
Scenario 1
In an IN call, assume that: The subscriber data of the called party contains the T-CSI subscription information. The IN service key is 1. The SCP address is 8613977888 and the SCP uses the INAP private protocol. The MSOFTX3000 can not trigger the IN service when processing this call. In this case, the carrier changes the number of the called party and the call is directly transited to another MSC/SSP which triggers the IN service. No CDR is generated for the IN call of the called party. Assume that: The number of the called party is added with a prefix 123. The routing selection name of Routing out the call directly to another office is 10. The routing selection source name 0 has been defined in the call source table. Routing name 0 already exists.

Scripts for Configuration


Step 1 Configure the routing analysis data. Description Configuring the routing analysis data: Routing selection name: 10 Routing selection source name: 0 Routing name: 0 Signaling priority level: constant Script ADD RTANA: RSN="10", RSSN="0", R=0, ISUP=NOCHG;

Step 2 Configure the number conversion data. Description Configuring the number conversion data: Number conversion name: 10 Number conversion type: insert number to designated location Start conversion location: 0 New number: 123 Script ADD DNC: DCN="10", DCT=TYPE1, DCP=0, ND=K'123;

Step 3 Configure the IN service control data. Description Configuring the IN service control data: IN service triggering type: mobile subscriber as the called party IN service key: 1 SCP address: 8613977888 Processing mode: routing out the call directly to another office New routing selection name: 10 New service feature: other office of the mobile network Conversion name of the number of the called party: 10 Script Note ADD INSRVCTRL: ITT=MT, SK=1, SA=K'8613977888, PT=SR, RSN="10", NSP=MOO, CLDNCN="10"; If the processing is configured as routing out the call directly to another office, you must configure a new routing selective code and assign the correct service feature.

Step 4 Modify the integrated control data of the CDR. Description Modifying the integrated control data of the CDR: Unselect the CDR for IN call of the called party in the CDR control indication. Script Note MOD GBILLCTRL: BCF=AI_MTC-0; If you execute this command, the MSOFTX3000 does not generate a CDR for the IN call of the called party.

----End

Scenario 2
In an IN call, assume that: The subscriber data contains the call forwarding unconditional (CFU) and O-CSI subscription information. The IN service key is 2. The SCP address is 8613977888 and the SCP uses the INAP private protocol. The MSOFTX3000 can not trigger the IN service when processing this call. In this case, the carrier ignores the IN attributes of the call and connects the call as an ordinary call. No CDR is generated for the IN call of CFU.

13.6 Service Management


None.

13.7 Charging and CDR


If the operator configures the IN service control data by using the command ADD INSRVCTRL, the charging of the IN service subscribers is affected. Therefore, the operator must be cautious when configuring this data. The operator can execute the command MOD GBILLCTRL to modify the integrated control data of the call detail record (CDR) to avoid any possible conflict between the carrier and the subscribers concerning the charging. You can determine whether to generate a CDR for the IN calls when configuring the parameter CDR control indication in the command MOD GBILLCTRL: If CDR for IN call forwarding is selected, and if the IN service is triggered in the O-CSI mode, CDR for IN call forwarding is generated. If CDR for IN call forwarding is not selected, no CDR for IN call forwarding is generated. If CDR for IN Called Party is selected, and if the IN service is triggered in the T-CSI mode, CDR for IN called party is generated. If CDR for IN Called Party is not selected, no CDR for IN called party is generated.

13.8 Service Interaction


The IN service triggering feature has the following interactions with other services: This IN service triggering feature does not affect the IN service triggering feature of the NCSI. The option Mobile subscriber as the calling party of the IN service triggering type in the IN service control data is not in current use. It is kept for later upgrade.

14.1 Feature Description


14.1.1 Feature Code
Feature Name MNP Feature Feature Code WMFD-042500

14.1.2 Function Definition


The Mobile Number Portability (MNP) allows Universal Mobile Telecommunications System (UMTS) or GSM mobile subscribers to change the subscription networks within a country, and to preserve the original MSISDNs at the same time. All the services of the subscriber are provided by the new network. They are not affected by the original network. The new network also assigns a new International Mobile Subscriber Identity (IMSI) to the MNP subscriber. In one network, MNP subscribers and non-MNP subscribes enjoy service functions of no difference, but there are differences in service qualities, such as the additional call setup delay. The MNP service provides the following functions: No need to change the MSISDN: Subscribers need not to change their MSISDNs due to the change of carriers or networks. Independent subscription service: The original network has no impact upon the current services of subscribers. If certain services supported by the original network are not supported by the new network, subscribers cannot enjoy the services. Ported many times: There can be numbers ported both in and out in one network. One MSISDN can be ported for multiple times and can be ported back and forth in multiple networks. Independent service: It does not conflict with other mobile services provided by the system.

14.1.3 Service Benefits


Beneficiary Carriers Benefit Description For new carriers, the MNP feature attracts new subscribers and enhances competition capability. For mature carriers, the MNP service brings additional management charges and increases operation revenue. Mobile subscribers Based on the changes of locations, subscribers can choose different networks or more suitable carriers without changing their numbers. Subscribers can subscribe networks of one carrier in different areas and remain the original number. For example, a subscriber registers a number in area A. This number belongs to the number segment of area A. After moving to place B, the subscriber can register the same number in area B.

In the networking, the SPS serves as the MNP-Signaling Relay Function (SRF) and Number Portability Database (NPDB). It is before the HLR in service flows and often configured in pairs. The MNP feature requires that the network addresses in the "Route on GT" mode, and use the SPS as the translation point. The 3G TS 23.066 defines two modes to realize the MNP. One is based on the IN, while the other is based on signaling relay. The MSC queries the MNP Service Processing Table to determine the subsequent processing type: IN based original call query, Release, or No processing. The IN based original call query mode is not usually used. It is used for certain special requirements only. The MSOFTX3000 supports the following MNP modes: Query on Release (QoR) mode Onward Routing (OR) mode All Call Query (AcQ) mode

14.4 Service Flows


14.4.1 QoR Mode
RN is the route number. Every carrier is assigned with one RN, such as C0101, and C0102. If there is no special note in this article, RNP4 refers to the RN of P4, RNx refers to RN of external network, and NonNP means that no number is ported.

The MNP service in the QoR mode is used when the GMSC calls the following numbers: Numbers ported from local network to external network Numbers ported from external network to local network The GMSC delivers the SRI to the NPDB. Based on the result of querying related table, the NPDB determines whether to deliver the SRI to the HLR or return an SRlack message to the GMSC. When receiving the SRIack, the GMSC queries the MNP Service Processing Table. Based on the result, the GMSC processes as follows: If the returned MSRN is "Foreign RNx + MSISDN" or "NonNP + MSISDN", the GMSC disconnects the call. (If the prefix is RN, the REL message carries a disconnect cause value of 14. If the prefix is NonNP, the REL message carries a disconnect cause value of 1. In the latter case, the system generates an alarm.) Otherwise, the GMSC normally connects the call. The VMSC does failure processing to the REL message returned by the GMSC. If the cause value is 14, the VMSC re-routes the call to the NPDB to obtain the RNx.

The VMSC sends an IAM message to the GMSC. The called number carries the RN prefix of the local network, that is, RNP4. The GMSC sends an SRI to the NPDB. After querying table, the NPDB returns an SRIack (NonNP + MSISDN or RNx + MSISDN) to the GMSC. The GMSC sends an REL message to the VMSC. The VMSC disconnects the call. The call termination cause value of 1, indicating that the called number is not allocated.
In the trial bill, the called number is RNP4 + MSISDN. The call termination cause value is 1, indicating that the called number is not allocated. NonNP + MSISDN returned by the STP means that this MSISDN is a non-NP subscriber.

14.4.2 OR Mode
The MNP service in the OR mode is used when the GMSC calls the number segment that may port from local network to external network. If a called number ports to external network, the

IAM (MSISDN) SRI (MSISDN) SRIack (RNx+MSISDN) IAM (RNx+MSISDN)

1. 2. 3. 4.

The PSTN sends an IAM message to the GMSCa. The IAM message carries the information of the called number that belongs to the local network number segment. The GMSCa sends an SRI to the NPDB. After querying table, the NPDB returns an SRIack (RNx + MSISDN) to the GMSCa. The GMSCa routes the call to the correct network, such as the GMSCb.
In the GWI, the called number is the MSISDN. In this case, the subscriber is not charged. The called number in the GWO is RNx + MSISDN. (For a GV integrated office, the called number in the GWO is MSISDN. For a GMSC, the called number in the GWO is RNx + MSISDN.)

14.4.3 AcQ Mode


The MNP service in the AcQ mode is used when the called party is a local network subscriber and may port to external network. The MSC routes the call to the NPDB or reports to the NPDB through an IDP message. Based on the result, the MSC sends the IAM out of the office or pages the callee.

14.7 Charging and CDR


The charging and bill generating principles of the MNP feature are as follows: If IN services are triggered, IN bills are generated. If the roaming number brought back by the NPDB is (RN + MSISDN), the translatedNumber in the bill is RN + MSISDN. Bit 4 and bit 1 of the software parameter P129 control the filling of the called number in the bill: Bit 4: Controls the filling of the numbers in the bills of overseas version and domestic version. = 0: Overseas requirement = 1: Domestic requirement Default value: 1 Bit 1: Controls the format of called numbers in the bill. = 0: Fill the numbers after adjustment. = 1: Fill the numbers the subscribers dial. Default value: 1
Bit 1 is valid only when bit 4 is set to 0. When bit 4 is set to 1, bit 1 is invalid.

It can also be controlled by bit 2 of the software parameter P1300:

15 IP Fax Feature

HUAWEI MSOFTX3000 Feature Description

15.1 Service Description


IP fax is the fax service over IP. Data transmission plays an important role in the fax process, because the quality of data transmission determines that of fax. The data stream redundancy is a solution to the data packet loss during transmission. Transmission supporting the data stream redundancy is a type of enhanced service. This service can improve the data transmission quality, and reduce or avoid the service termination caused by bad data transmission quality.

15.2 Working Principle


During a call, the MSC server determines whether to send 2198 redundancy parameter of the data service to the MGW based on data configuration. In addition, the MSC server determines whether to notify the MGW to start fax event detection after a call is initiated based on data configuration. The MGW reports fax tone detection event and fax status detection event. The MSC server sends indication of modifying codec property to the MGW based on reported detection events, thus to support data redundancy.

15.3 Benefits
15.3.1 To Carriers
The IP fax feature increases the quality of the fax data transmission and enhances the competitive edge of carriers.

15.3.2 To Mobile Subscribers


Mobile subscribers can enjoy the high-quality fax service.

15.4 Availability
15.4.1 Application
The MSOFTX3000 V100R005 provides the IP fax service. The TS62 service is applicable to visited MSC (VMSC), gateway MSC (GMSC), and tandem MSC (TMSC). The TS61 service is applicable to TMSC only. The limitations of the IP fax service is as follows: The VMSC cannot trigger the TS61 service that contains 2198 redundancy data. The VMSC does not support fax detection. To implement 2198 redundancy transmission for inter-office BICC fax, the TrFO function must be enabled. The modification of 2198 redundancy configuration is not allowed during data service calls.

15.5.2 Processing Flow


TS61 and TS62 Call Processing Flows on the TMSC when the ISUP/TUP/BICC Signaling is Used
ISUP/TUPISUP/TUP When a call is initiated, the TDM point sends the fax detection event to the gateway and meanwhile sends the 2198 data service redundancy modification request. When a fax call is initiated, the gateway reports the fax event, sends the CODEC modification request to the local-end gateway to modify the terminal point, and meanwhile sends the modification request to the peer end. If the local end is the outgoing side, it also needs to send the intermediate bearer request to the gateway. After the fax ends, the gateway reports the fax complete event and the local end sends the open EC operation request to the gateway.

HUAWEI MSOFTX3000 Feature Description

16.1 Service Description


16.1.1 Function Code
This feature does not have a function code.

16.1.2 Application Scope


For providers, the License is a contract form of authorizing the usage scope and period of the sold products. For customers, the License is a contract form of being authorized with the usage scope and period of the purchased products. Through the License, customers also obtain the services promised by providers. Physically, the License is presented as License authorization certificates and License files. The License features of the MSOFTX3000 achieve customization of the service functions and quantity of the products. This document aims to help technical staff to use the License features correctly.

16.2 Working Principle


16.2.1 Working Principle of License
The License functions of the MSOFTX3000 are realized on the basis of Huawei License unified platform. The application of the License should conform to the related regulations of Huawei. The following are realized by Huawei unified platform: Key generation management License file generation License file management Encryption/decryption signature verification module The following are realized by the MSOFTX3000 products: ESN setting acquisition License file installation update License file verification Capacity restriction of service function

16.2.2 Running Status of License


There are four running status of License: Normal: If the ESN in the License files loaded into the system is consistent with the ESN of the system, the status of the License is Normal. Trial: If the ESN in the License files loaded into the system is inconsistent with the ESN of the system, the status of the License is Trial.

HUAWEI MSOFTX3000 Feature Description

16 License Feature

Invalidating: If the License files loaded into the system is expired, or no valid License file is loaded into the system, the system triggers a 60-day invalidation alerting period. In this case, each control item of the License files can still be used for 60 days without any service restriction, but alarms indicating that the License is expired are sent every day. After the 60 days, the system enables the default minimum value. Default: After License files are expired for 60 days or the default minimum values are used for 60 days, the system runs under default License and provides only the default permitted License functions.

16.2.3 Invalidation of License


The latest date among the due dates of all License segments is taken as the due date of the License file. Invalidation of License contains the following: Invalidation of the whole License: If the due date of a specific feature is equal to the due date of the whole License file, the feature is handled as "Invalidation of the whole License". It has four running status: Normal, Trial, Invalidating and Default. Partial invalidation of the License: If the due date of a specific feature is not equal to the due date of the whole License file, the feature is handled as "Partial invalidation of the License". Each item of the License file also has four running status: Normal, Trial, Invalidating and Default.

16.2.4 Alerting Mechanism of License


For "Invalidation of the whole License", there are three types of alarms: When the whole License will be invalid in less than 90 days, the system sends a fault alarm every day indicating that the License will be expired. In the next day, the system recovers the fault alarm of the first day, and sends another alarm indicating that the License will be expired. The "Rest days" in the alarm represents how many days are left before the due date. After the whole License file is expired, there comes a 60-day invalidation alerting period. During this period, the original configuration values of the License are remained, but a fault alarm indicating that the License is expired is sent every day. In the next day, the system recovers the fault alarm of the first day, and sends another alarm indicating that the License is expired. After the 60-day invalidation alerting period, the default minimum value is enabled, and a fault alarm indicating that the License is expired is sent every day. In the next day, the system recovers the fault alarm of the first day, and sends another alarm indicating that the License is expired. For "Partial invalidation of the License", there are three types of alarms: When an item of a License file will be invalid in less than 30 days, a fault alarm indicating that the License item will be expired soon is sent every day. In the next day, the system recovers the fault alarm of the first day, and sends another alarm indicating that the License item will be expired. The "Rest days" in the alarm represents how many days are left before the due date. After a License item is expired, there comes a 60-day invalidation alerting period. During the period, the original configuration values of the License are remained, but a fault alarm indicating that the License is expired is sent every day. In the next day, the system recovers the fault alarm of the first day, and sends another alarm indicating that the License item is expired.

16 License Feature

HUAWEI MSOFTX3000 Feature Description

After the 60-day invalidation alerting period, the system enables the minimum default value of the License item. After the whole License is expired, alarms indicating that the License items are expired are not sent, because the License items are expired if the whole License file is expired.

There are 10 alarm cause values for the event alarm "invalid license", but they are not displayed. When such event alarms occur, check the following: Whether the loaded License is normal. If not, you must load valid License files again. Whether the License of the host and the License of the BAM are consistent. If not, you must load valid License files again.

16.3 Operation and Maintenance of License

After getting License files, you must back up them to avoid unexpected incidents. License files are digitally subscribed; therefore, do not edit them. Or, the License becomes invalid. After the loading, run DSP LICENSE and TR LICCRC immediately to check whether the Licenses of the host and the BAM are consistent. If not, contact Huawei technical staff for consultation.

16.3.1 LOD LICENSE (Loading a License)


You can run LOD LICENSE to load License files and enlarge the subscriber capability and functions of the system.

Parameter Description
Table 16-1 shows the parameters of the command LOD LICENSE. Table 16-1 Parameters of the command LOD LICENSE Parameter Name FN Data Type String Parameter Description License name Explanation It specifies the License to be loaded. Notes: The License must be in the License subdirectory under the installation directory, in the format of Lic*.dat. The input parameter cannot contain any other directory name.

Parameter Name LT

Data Type Enumeration

Parameter Description Location

Explanation It specifies the target location to which License is to be loaded. The options are: BAM, and BAM and host. Notes: In general, you are recommended to use the default value of the parameter. This parameter must be set to BAM in certain special cases. That is, for any version between R002C01B022 and R002C01B031 (except B031), if it is required to be updated to any version later than R002C01B031, you must select BAM for loading. It is not required for any version later than R002C01B031.

Notes
Pay attention to the following when using this command. If the specified License does not exist, the License is verified to be incorrect, License decryption fails, or the License is expired, a message indicating failure in running the command is returned, together with related prompts. This does not affect the License in use. If the new License has fewer functions or a lower capacity than the original one, the command can be executed successfully, and each module uses the new License data. But an alarm indicating that the new License has less functions or lower capacity is generated. If the ESN of the specified License is inconsistent with that of the equipment, a prompt for successful loading is prompted, but an alarm indicating inconsistent ESNs is generated. In this case, the system is in trial running (the trial period is specified when applying License files). During this period, the functions of the License can be normally used. After the trail period, the system prompts that the trial period is expired, and the running mode turns to be Invalidating. The configuration values of the License remain, and subscribers are allowed to use the License for 60 days. After the 60 days, the running mode turns to be Default. The products run under the default License and provide only the default permitted License functions. If the system has ever loaded a License with an inconsistent ESN (that is, the system has trialed the License), any License with an inconsistent ESN cannot be loaded again. Therefore, when you find the License is in Trial status, you must apply for a formal License immediately. Or, the License only provides default functions when the Invalidating period is over.

16.3.2 ROL LICENSE (Rolling Back a License)


The host database can store only the License files of the latest 2 loadings. To switch over easily, you can run ROL LICENSE to roll back from the current License file to the License file of the last time. Then the last License is in use. Using this command, you can switch over

easily between the last two License files, and then the system obtains the rights to change different functions and customer capacities.

Parameter Description
The command ROL LICENSE has no parameter.

Notes
When the system performs the rollback operation, it rolls back to the last normal License configuration. Normal configuration here means the License files that have been successfully loaded in the system. This command is in fact to take the name of the License that has been successfully loaded last time, and then auto run LOD LICENSE to load the License. In general, you are recommended to run LOD LICENSE directly to reload the License.

16.3.3 LST LICENSE (Listing a License)


During maintenance, you can run LST LICENSE to check License files, including the loaded License files, and the unloaded License files under D:\MSOFTX3000\License.

The parameter is valid only when Source type is set to DB. It specifies the name of the License to be displayed. The parameter options are: Current license: to display the current License file in the database. This option is the default value. History license: to display the history License files in the database.

Notes
Pay attention to the following when using this command: When File name is null, the License files of which the names initiate with the characters "LIC" in the License subdirectory under the installation directory are displayed. Usually the License files from the License center of Huawei are initiated with "OR" or other letters. So, you are recommended to change the License name to "LICENSESerialNo" field content before loading the License. Only a complete file name with extension name can be typed in File name. License files must be located in the License subdirectory under the installation directory, without the directory name. These rules are also applicable to other License operation commands.

16.3.4 DSP ESN (Displaying the System ESN)


During deployment or maintenance, the entity serial number (ESN) information is needed when applying License files. You can run DSP ESN to query the ESN information.

Parameter Description
Table 16-3 shows the parameters of the command DSP ESN.

HUAWEI MSOFTX3000 Feature Description

Table 16-3 Parameters of the command DSP ESN Name LT Data Type Enumeration Parameter Description Display type Explanation It specifies the type of the ESN to be displayed. The parameter options are: When LT is set to Current config in BAM, the ESN in the BAM server is displayed. When LT is set to Current config in Device, the ESN in the host is displayed. When LT is set to Input raw ESN, the system ESN information generated according to certain algorithm is displayed.

Notes
ESN means entity serial number. It is: The only identifier of a set of equipment The key guarantee of authorizing a License to a specific set of equipment The most important information of License files You, therefore, must ensure the correctness of the ESN. The serial number of the equipment to be authorized is contained in License file. After the License is loaded to the equipment, the system compares the ESN in the License file with that of the equipment. The system authorizes corresponding services to the equipment only when the two ESNs are consistent. The following are the steps to obtain the ESN: Step 1 Install the BAM. Step 2 Configure the MSC number and the DPC number offline. The MSC and DPC number must be identical with the actual data of the current network; otherwise, errors occur in obtaining the ESN. Step 3 Run DSP ESN to obtain the ESN. Set Display type to Current config in BAM. ----End

When there are multiple signaling points, the ESN is irrelevant to the sequence of the signaling points. You can change the sequence of the configuration, but any other change leads to different ESNs. You cannot add or delete signaling points. When the system is running, you cannot modify the MSC number or signaling point number, otherwise the License may become invalid. If you do have to modify them, you must obtain a new ESN number based on the data after the modification, and then apply a new License.

16.3.5 STR LICCRC (Starting CRC Check of License)


During maintenance, you can run STR LICCRC to compare the consistency of the License data of the host and the BAM.

Parameter Description
The command STR LICCRC has no parameter.

Notes
Pay attention to the following when using this command: When the BAM originates STR LICCRC, the system checks whether the loaded Licenses of the BAM and the foreground host are consistent. The system compares the file names and CRC values only. The foreground host originates an automatic check every two hours. The BAM sends the information of the License loaded in the BAM to the host, irrespective of the check results. In this case, the host performs the following:

Check whether the information of the licenses loaded in the host and in the BAM are consistent. If the sizes and names of the licenses are identical, the licenses are considered consistent. If yes, the host enables the 2-hour basis check timer. If not, the host keeps the license of itself, enables the 10-minute basis check timer, and sends an event alarm indicating that both the licenses of the BAM and the host are valid but inconsistent.

16.3.6 DSP LICENSE (Display Running License File Status)


During maintenance, you can run DSP LICENSE to display the License status of the BAM and the host.

16.5 Other Precautions


16.5.1 License Checks
Timing Check
At 01:20 a.m. every day, the BAM and the host check the dates of the currently used License files. The steps are as follows: Step 1 If the license file is in trial state, judge whether the allowed trial period is expired. If not, reduce one day from the rest days and send an alarm indicating that the License will be expired. If yes and the license file is in the 60-day invalidation alerting period, the system remains the original License configuration information and sends an alarm indicating that the License is expired. After 60 days, the License runs with the default configurations and provides the default allowed functions only. Step 2 If the License is in normal state, judge whether the rest days of the License are less than 90 days. If yes, an alarm indicating that the License will be expired is sent, and one day is reduced from the rest days in the check every day. If the usage period is exceeded and the license file is in the 60-day invalidation alerting period, the system remains the original License configuration information and sends an alarm indicating that the License is expired. After 60 days, the License runs with default configurations and provides the default allowed functions only. Step 3 If the License is handled by items, judge whether the rest days of an item are less than 30 days. If yes, an alarm indicating that the License will be expired is sent, and one day is reduced from the rest days in the check every day. If the usage period is exceeded and the license file is in the 60-day invalidation alerting period, the system remains the original License configuration information and sends an alarm indicating that the License is expired. ----End

Check from the Host


The foreground host originates an automatic check every two hours. At this time, the BAM sends the information of the License loaded in the BAM to the host, irrespective of the check results. In this case, the host performs the following: 1. Check whether the license files loaded in the host and in the BAM are consistent. If the sizes and names of the license files are identical, the license files are considered consistent. If they are consistent, the host enables the 2-hour periodic check timer and check every two hours from then on. If they are inconsistent, the host enables the 10-minute periodic check timer and sends an alarm indicating that the License is expired. The cause value of the alarm is that both the licenses of the BAM and the host are valid but inconsistent.

16.5.2 License Invalidation and Prevention


License invalidation contains normal invalidation and abnormal invalidation. Normal invalidation: The trial period of trial License is expired, or the running period of formal License which is specified in License files is expired.

Issue 02 (2007-06-10)

Huawei Technologies Proprietary

16-17

16 License Feature

HUAWEI MSOFTX3000 Feature Description

Abnormal invalidation: The License files are loaded normally in the system, but the License becomes invalid because of certain maloperations or specific conditions. Once the License becomes invalid, if you have legal License files, you can run LOD LICENSE to reload the License files. The following are certain symptoms of abnormal invalidation, and the methods to prevent them and solve them.

Invalid License on BAM


The symptoms are: When you run DSP LICENSE to check the License on the BAM, the file name is null, and the License control items are in their default minimum values. The tracing function on the operation console of the BAM is out of use. Alarms with ID 2381 and 2382 are generated, indicating that the current License files of the system are in their default values with which the system capacities are straightly limited. The solution to this case: Run LOD LICENSE to load valid License files.

Invalid License on host


The symptoms are: When you run DSP LICENSE to check the License on the host, the file name is null, and the License control items are in their default maximum values. Fault alarm "License is expired" (ID: 2183) and event alarm "License is invalid" (ID: 2246) appear in the alarm window. The solution to this case: Run LOD LICENSE to load valid License files.

License files Are Expired and not Reloaded


License files are expired and not reloaded. The symptoms are: Within the 60 days after the License is expired, you can run DSP LICENSE to check whether the running mode of the License is Invalidating. The file names and control items of the License are remained. Fault alarm "License is expired" (ID: 2183) appears in the alarm window. Within the 60 days after the License is expired, you can run DSP LICENSE to check whether the running mode of the License is Default. The file names are null and the control items are in the minimum values. Fault alarm "License is expired" (ID: 2183) appears in the alarm window. The solution to this case: Run LOD LICENSE to load valid License files.

License Files Are not Reloaded in Emergency Workstation After the Switchover from BAM to Emergency Workstation
The prevention method of this case: Load the License on the emergency workstation offline after the database is recovered and before the emergency workstation is connected to the host. When loading the License offline, you must set the parameter Position to BAM. At this time, the Licenses of the BAM and the host may be inconsistent. To ensure that the License files on

16.5.4 License Upgrading


License Updating
When the signaling point configurations are modified or new service contracts are signed, it is necessary to apply new License files. This does not affect the BAM and the services. In this case, you should load the License with the command LOD LICENSE. No other special operation is required.

Version Upgrading
If there are special requirements upon version upgrading, the details are given in the upgrade guide released with the version.

16.5.5 Effects of BAM Operations on License


When the BAM is abnormal, it does not affect the License of the host, because the host can run without the BAM. When restarting the Maintain process on the BAM, the License files that were successfully loaded last time are reloaded on the BAM. In this case, the related information of the License is recorded in the BAM database. If the record does not exist in the database, you can only load the default License instead of the BAM License in the memory. When upgrading the BAM, if all versions of R002 are upgraded to R003, you must run LOD LICENSE to reload the License files after the upgrade. Otherwise, the License files on the BAM are set to the minimum value if they cannot be used. This severely affects the system function. If the SMU boards are not restarted on the host, the original License remains. At this time, if the License on the host is different from that on the BAM, alarms indicating "License is expired" are generated every 10 minutes. If the SMU boards are restarted on the host, License is analyzed in the FLASH. If the Licenses on the host and the BAM are different, alarms "License is invalid" are generated every 10 minutes. When the BAM is reinstalled, the original information about the License is lost. The original License files cannot be auto loaded in the system when the BAM is restarted. You must load the License files manually.

17.3 Working Principle


17.3.1 Functions of NEs
The NE user dynamic monitoring function is implemented as follows: 1. 2. 3. The M2000 sends the corresponding commands to NEs. The NEs returns the command execution results to the M2000. The M2000, then, displays the result in the Local Maintenance Monitor pane.

Currently, the NE status displayed is reported by the NEs to the M2000 actively. The NMS need not monitor the operations of all NE online users because there are some operations that the NMS does not require. To monitor only the operations that are cared for by the NMS, a subscription and unsubscription mechanism is used between the NEs and NMS. To subscribe to users means to monitor the operations of the users; to unsubscribe to users means to cancel the monitoring of the operations of the users. Through the subscription and unsubscription mechanism, messages between the NEs and NMS are reduced, and the load of the NEs and NMS is lowered. The NE supports the forced disconnection from a user, through the disconnection command sent by the NMS. That is, the user is forced to exit the LMT and disconnect from the NE. After a user is disconnected from the NMS, the NE sends the disconnection message to the

17 NE User Dynamic Monitoring Feature

HUAWEI MSOFTX3000 Feature Description

LMT that the user belongs to, through the operation and maintenance port. At this time, a message is displayed on the LMT, indicating that the user is forcedly disconnected from the NMS.

17.3.2 Internal Processing of the System


Function Implementation
The login and logout of an NE user need to be reported to the NMS. When the NMS first connects to an NE, the NMS obtains the status of the online users of the NE automatically. But the NE must take the initiative to update its data to the NMS later.

Implementation of Monitoring of NE Online User Operation


When the NMS issues a command for monitoring an NE user, the NE reports the operations of the user to the NMS immediately. When the NMS issues a command to cancel the monitoring of an NE user, the NE stops reporting the operations of the user to the NMS. To monitor the operations of all the users of an NE, the NMS sends a command for monitoring all the users of an NE. To cancel the monitoring of the operations of all the users of an NE, the NMS sends a command for canceling the monitoring of all the users of an NE.

Implementation of Forced Disconnection of Online User Operation


When an NE receives a command, indicating disconnection from a user, the NE disconnects from all the LMTs that the user logged in to. When an LMT is disconnected from the NE, a message is displayed, indicating that the user is forcedly disconnected from the NMS. After a user is disconnected from the NMS, the NE sends the disconnection message to the LMT that the user belongs to, through the operation and maintenance port. At this time, a message is displayed on the LMT, indicating that the user is forcedly disconnected from the NMS.

17.3.3 External Interfaces


None.

17.4 Service Flow


17.4.1 Monitoring Flow of Online User
The login and logout of an NE user must be reported to the NMS through synchronization. The NMS can automatically obtain the online user status of NEs for the first time connection. For the following data update, the NEs report the status to the NMS actively. The user of an NE that is monitored can be a local or domain user.

17.4.2 Reporting Flow of User Operation


The NMS issues commands for subscribing to monitoring to an NE. After receiving the commands, the NE reports the operations of the user to the NMS through the synchronization report interface. The NMS issues commands for unsubscribing to monitoring to an NE. After receiving the commands, the NE stops reporting the operations of the user to the NMS.

HUAWEI MSOFTX3000 Feature Description

18.1 Service Description


18.1.1 Function Code
The SMS notification for call failure does not have a function code.

18.1.2 Definition
SMS notification for call failure informs the callee of missed calls by sending the Short Message (SM). When there is a missed call, the network sends an SM to inform the callee of the date, time and calling number of the missed call. SMS notification for call failure is a network level service. There is no limit on the number of subscribers. If the following exception occurs, the network triggers the service: The callee switches off. The callee is unreachable. The callee is busy. The callee does not answer the call.

18.1.3 Benefits
Table 18-1 lists the benefits of SMS notification for call failure. Table 18-1 Benefits of SMS notification for call failure Beneficiary Carrier Description SMS notification for call failure is a kind of compensation service that provides more compensation measures for subscribers when they cannot answer the call. Notification messages are edited according to the type of call failure. Subscribers can clearly learn the specific causes of missed calls. The service can be provided in two modes: The subscribers do not need to subscribe to the service in the HLR. The service is free of charge, which improves the customer satisfaction. The subscribers subscribe to the HLR. The carriers charge the subscribers with certain amount of fees, which increases the service profit. At present, the former mode is adopted. Mobile Subscriber SMS notification for call failure provides one more choice of compensation service for subscribers. It can reduce the loss resulted from missed calls. Subscribers can clearly learn the specific causes of the missed call, calling number, date and time of the call.

18 SMS Notification for Call Failure Feature

HUAWEI MSOFTX3000 Feature Description

If the callee is absent in the call (turnoff, roaming not allowed, deleted in the VMSC or unreachable), the HLR sends the information that the subscriber is absent in the SRI ACK message to the GMSC, to complete preparation for triggering the service. The Short Message Service Center (SMSC) receives and sends the call failure SM.

18.3.2 Internal Processing


SMS notification for call failure is triggered at every abnormal point during a call, that is, when the callee cannot answer the call. SMS notification for call failure, call forwarding and voice mailbox compensate for the loss resulted from the call missing. However, the former collides with the latter two services. It can be triggered only when both call forwarding and voice mailbox are not activated. SMS notification for call failure is triggered when the following exception occurs: The GMSC detects in the SRI message that the callee is absent. After the call is routed to the VMSC, the VMSC detects that the callee switches off or is not allowed to roam. After the call is routed to the VMSC, there is no paging response or the response times out. After the call is routed to the VMSC, the VMSC detects that the callee is busy. After the call is routed to the VMSC, the VMSC detects that the network encounters congestion. After the call is routed to the VMSC, the callee does not answer the call. According to triggering places, the processing flow of SMS notification for call failure is classified into two types: GMSC Triggers SMS Notification for Call Failure. VMSC Triggers SMS Notification for Call Failure.

GMSC Triggered SMS Notification for Call Failure


If the GMSC detects that the callee is absent, it triggers SMS notification for call failure. The processing flow is as shown in Figure 18-1.

The GMSC sends the MAP SRI REQ message to the HLR of the callee. If the HLR detects that the callee is absent. The HLR then sends the information to the GMSC in the MAP SRI CNF message. The GMSC triggers SMS notification for call failure, edits the content of the message, and sends the MO FORWARD SM ARG message to the SMSC. The SMSC returns MO FORWARD SM RES message to the GMSC.

The VMSC triggers SMS notification for call failure when the following exception occurs: After the call is routed to the VMSC, the VMSC detects that the callee switches off or the roaming is not allowed. After the call is routed to the VMSC, there is no paging response or the response times out. After the call is routed to the VMSC, the VMSC detects that the callee is busy. After the call is routed to the VMSC, the VMSC detects that the network encounters congestion. After the call is routed to the VMSC, the callee does not answer the call. The processing flow is as shown in Figure 18-2.

IAM PAGING PAGING SETUP SETUP

The processing flow is as follows: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. The GMSC sends the IAM request to the VMSC of the callee according to the Mobile Station Roaming Number (MSRN). If the VMSC detects that the callee switches off or is not allowed to roam, it triggers SMS notification for call failure. If the VMSC detects that the callee is busy, it triggers SMS notification for call failure. If the conditions in 2 and 3do not happen, the VMSC sends PAGING to the MS. If the MS does not reply to the PAGING or the PAGING response times out, the VMSC triggers the SMS notification for call failure. After receiving the PAGING response, the VMSC sends the SETUP message to the MS and sends channel assignment request to the MGW. If the wireless channel is congested and thus channel assignment fails, the VMSC triggers the SMS notification for call failure. If the MS does not answer the call after alerting, the VMSC triggers the SMS notification for call failure.
In most cases, SMS notification for call failure is triggered in the VMSC. The subsequent flow after triggering is almost the same. For more information, see Figure 19-5.

18.4 Service Flow


SMS notification for call failure is mainly used to compensate for abnormal situations in call service.

18.4.1 Prerequisites for Service Triggering


To trigger this service, the following must be met: The callee does not subscribe to the forwarding service. The callee does not subscribe to the voice mailbox.

18.6.2 Operations by Subscribers


As long as the carrier provides and registers with the SMS notification for call failure for the subscriber in the GMSC or VMSC, the subscriber can enjoy this service without performing any operation.

18.7 Charging and Charging Data Record (CDR)


18.7.1 CDR of the SMMO
SMS notification for call failure is originated at the network side. Therefore, no CDR of Short Message Mobile Originated (SMMO) is provided.

18.7.2 CDR of the SMMT


The Short Message Mobile Terminated (SMMT) flow of SMS notification for call failure is the same as the common SMMT flow. Therefore, the CDR of SMMT is the same as that of ordinary SMMT. For example, if A calls B and the call fails, B will receive the SM for call failure and the ordinary CDR is generated.

18.7.3 Charging
The carriers decide whether to charge for SMS notification for call failure. At present, they do not charge for the service.

18.8 Service Interaction


This section introduces the interaction of SMS notification for call failure with other services.

18.8.1 Call Service


The SMS notification for call failure is triggered when exception occurs during a call.

18.8.2 SM Service
SMS notification for call failure is realized in the form of SMS. It differs from common SMS in that: common SMS is originated by the MS while the SMS notification for call failure is originated by the network. The SMMT flows are the same.

18.8.3 Call Forwarding Service


SMS notification for call failure conflicts with the forwarding service, and the latter enjoys higher priority. That is, if the call forwarding service is activated, SMS notification for call failure cannot be enabled. The common ground is that the service triggering points are the same.

19.1 Feature Description


19.1.1 Function Code
Table 19-1 lists the name and function code of the summer time feature. Table 19-1 Name and function code of the summer time feature Name Summer time feature of wireless time zone Code None

19.1.2 Definition
Concept of Time Zone
The world time zones are divided based on the prime meridian. The initial time zone covers the west 7.5 to east 7.5 (with a width of 15). From the initial zone eastward and westward, the surface of the earth is divided into 14 and 12 time zones respectively. The GMT+14 time zone overlaps with the GMT-12 time zone. In this way, the surface of the earth is longitudinally divided into 26 time zones, and every neighboring two time zones observe a clock time one hour offset (some neighboring time zone offsets are 30 minutes or 15 minutes). In the same time zone, you can observe sunrise from the east part and the west part respectively within one hour. The time zone boundaries are geographic longitudes in principle. In actual practice, however, they are substituted by the regional boundaries or natural boundaries for easy application. At present, most of the countries use the standard time with the unit zone time. The standard time has hour(s) offset from the GMT. Some countries, however, still use the local time of the capital or some important commercial ports as the standard time. Thus, the offset between the standard time of these countries and that of the GMT is in precision of minute.

Concept of Summer Time


Summer time is a lawfully defined time, which is also called daylight saving time. It is first proposed by the American inventor and politician Benjamin Franklin. He points out that the day breaks earlier in summer, and that we can set out clock backward so that the daylight time can be prolonged. In most of the countries that use the summer time, the summer time is usually one hour (it varies with different countries) later than the standard time. For example, during the summer time, the eastern standard time 10:00 am. becomes the eastern summer time 11:00 am. The application of summer time makes full use of the sunshine and saves fuels and electricity, thus the expenditure on lighting and electricity is reduced. Currently, about 70 countries including Europe and North American countries have implemented the summer time.

19 Summer Time Feature of Wireless Time Zone

HUAWEI MSOFTX3000 Feature Description

19.3 Working Principle


The configuration of the time zone and summer time only requires the modification of the local time. The NTP synchronization, however, uses only the Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) without involving the time zone and summer time. Therefore, the configuration of the time zone and summer time does not affect the NTP service. On the other hand, the NTP server can only rectify the GMT of the BAM server, which exerts no impact on the configuration of the BAM time zone and summer time. The configuration of the time zone and summer time is managed only by the BAM server itself, as shown in Figure 19-1. Figure 19-1 Synchronization relationship between the NTP server, BAM server, and the host

Host

Time informaton: (BAM Loacal time + time zone+ summer time offset) BAM

When modifying the time zone configuration of the BAM server, the local time of the system in which the BAM resides changes accordingly. In the following example, if: GMT is 00:00:00 Time zone of the BAM is GMT+7 Local time of the BAM is 07:00:00 If you set the time zone of the BAM to GMT+8 by using the command SET TZ, the local time of the BAM changes to 08:00:00 immediately. Then the BAM server sends the modified time zone and local time to the host at once. When it reaches the summer time shift point (the beginning time point or the end time point of the summer time), the local time of the BAM server is set according to the synchronization mode between the BAM server and NTP server: If the BAM is configured with an effective NTP server, the BAM performs automatically time synchronization with the NTP server if it is in normal communication with the NTP server. Then the BAM server adjusts the local time according to the configuration of the summer time. If the BAM is not configured with an effective NTP server, or the BAM is disconnected with all the NTP servers, the BAM does not perform time synchronization with the NTP server. The BAM server adjusts the local time directly according to the configuration of the summer time.

HUAWEI MSOFTX3000 Feature Description

19 Summer Time Feature of Wireless Time Zone

Once the local time is adjusted, the BAM server synchronizes immediately the local time, time zone, and the summer time with the host. The BAM server also notifies the service processes the summer time. In addition, when it reaches the summer time shift point, the BAM server raises the "Enter daylight saving time" or "Leave daylight saving time" alarm. Table 19-4 lists the detailed alarm information. Table 19-4 Alarms related to summer time Alarm Number 836 837 Alarm Type Event Event Alarm Name Enter daylight saving time Leave daylight saving time Cause The BAM enters the summer time. The BAM leaves the summer time.

If it is in the summer time, the MML message head contains the summer time information. When in summer time, a DST is suffixed to indicate the summer time, for example, 2006-03-21 15:25:58 DST.

19.4 Data Configuration


19.4.1 Data Configuration for the MSOFTX3000
Preparation
The implementation of the summer time of the MSOFTX3000 is totally independent of the summer time function of the Windows2000. Therefore, when activating the summer time function of the MSOFTX3000, you need to shut down the automatic summer time adjusting of the Windows2000 operating system in which the BAM resides. Otherwise, the consistency between the time of the BAM sever and that of the host and the implementation of the MSOFTX3000 summer time will be affected. To shut down the automatic summer time adjusting of the Windows2000 operating system, do as follows: Step 1 Double-click the time icon at the bottom right of the Windows2000 system interface, as shown in Figure 19-2. Figure 19-2 Time icon of Windows2000 operating system

Step 2 In the Time Zone tab, unselect Automatically adjust clock for daylight saving changes if is selected, and then select the correct time zone from the drop-down list. Click Apply and then OK, as shown in Figure 19-3.

19.4.2 Example
Scenario
The BAM server is in GMT-6, and the country in which the BAM server resides uses the summer time. The rule for implementing the summer time is as follows: In the wee hours of the last Sunday of every March, set the clock one hour forward when it shifts from the non-summer time to summer time. In the wee hours of the last Sunday of every October, set the clock one hour backward when it shifts from the summer time to non-summer time.

19.5 Charging and CDR


The MSOFTX3000 supports configuration of time zone and summer time through the MML commands. The time zone and summer time, however, have different influence on the call detail record (CDR), alarms, and logs. After the operator configures the BAM time zone by using the MML command, the host records the time zone information for each gateway or trunk group only in the gateway data table or trunk data table. This time zone affects only the absolute time in the CDR, such as the callee answering time, callee terminating time, call establishing time, wireless channel assigned time, and ringing time. The time adjusting principle for charging and CDR is as follows: If the call is paid by the calling party, the system adjusts the time segment in the CDR based on the time zone of the calling party. If the call is paid by the called party, the system adjusts the time segment in the CDR based on the time zone of the called party. That is, the talk time and charging are not affected by the BAM time change caused by the change of the time zone. If the time zone changes during the call session, the callee answering time, callee terminating time, call establishing time, wireless channel assigned time, and ringing time are affected. After the operator configures the summer time of the BAM server through the MML command, the BAM time is adjusted immediately if it reaches the summer time shift point. The BAM then sends the adjusted time and the summer time offset to the host for synchronization. Therefore, the configuration of the summer time affects the absolute time in the CDR, alarms, and logs. Once the summer time starts, there will be a blank area in the local time of the NE. On the contrary, when the summer time ends, there will be an overlapped area in the local time of the NE. Therefore, relevant processing is required for traffic statistics, CDR, and the charging

HUAWEI MSOFTX3000 Feature Description

system that uses the local time. Take the traffic statistics for example, when there is an overlapped area in the local time, the traffic of the overlapped time area will be accumulated. In this way, the traffic statistics of the overlapped area is counted. For the traffic statistics and charging of different time zones, if the local time is involved, you need to convert the time of different time zones according to the local time and the summer time.

19.6 Service Interaction


The settings of the time zone and summer time affect the network management services. If the summer time starts or the time zone changes, the BAM system time shifts accordingly. This shift, however, is only reflected in the local time and it does not affect the GMT, that is, the time controller of the network management system is not affected. The network management system can query the time zone and summer time information of a certain NE by using commands, and then calculates the local time of the NE according to the time zone and summer time of the NE. The network management system delivers tasks to the NE based on the local time of the NE. On the other hand, the network management system can also convert the local time contained in the reported messages by the NE to the local time of the network management system or the GMT according to the time zone and summer time of the NE.

Table 20-1 Network elements concerning with version software management features UE/ MS Node B/BTS RNC/ BSC MSC Server MGW M2000 SGSN GGSN HLR -

indicates the network elements involved.

20.2.2 License Support


Version software management features are the basic feature of HUAWEI wireless core network, of which services can be obtained without getting License requirement.

20.2.3 Applicable Version


The applicable versions of version software management features for HUAWEI core network (CN) products are as listed in Table 20-2. Table 20-2 Applicable versions for the version software management features Product MSC Server MSOFTX3000 Applicable Version V100R005 and subsequent versions

20.3 Working Principle


The MSC server cooperates with the M2000 to realize the version software management features. M2000: delivers the commands of transmission, uploading and activation and data information to the managed NEs. MSC Server: accepts and checks the commands and the data sent by the M2000; therefore, the auto upgrading of version software can be realized. The functions of the NEs are as follows: Main Control Board : System control and communication is the main control system to realize the features. It serves as a BAM in the MSOFTX3000, while in the text, it is called the main control board. File Downloading : It indicates that the NEs obtain the data from the file server through FTP. File Uploading : It indicates that the data are transmitted to the file server from the NEs. Patch : There are two patches, hot patch and cold patch. The differences between them are listed as follows:

Hot patch is the on-line effective patch and you do not need to reinstall the board program. Cold patch is the reset board and is valid only after you load the board program.

20 Version Software Management Feature

HUAWEI MSOFTX3000 Feature Description

The text does not cover the upgrading process of cold patch. Therefore, if there are no special descriptions, the patch is a hot patch.

Hot Patch : Hot patch, a software program entity, adopting software tailor and programming technology, can load and unload files independently on the base of original version by the independent background or independent install files or file copy. The patch is composed of one or more changes. The original program may be affected after patch loading. The hot patch is realized by on-line effective technology. The tool for making patch creates patch files based on the target files complied by the source code. The patch management modules then operate on the patch files to realize the patch management. Cold Patch : Hot patch can not modify some problems; hence, the board software is required to be reloaded. On this occasion, you can use cold patch to repair the system. Board Locating Parameter : In the commands introduced in the text, patch type, module number or active/standby module information are the parameters for locating board.

20.4 Patch Operation Flow


The patch operation flow is shown in Figure 20-1.

Patch version upgrade does not cause out of service and has a minor impact on the system; therefore, it is an important method of upgrading version during equipment maintenance. The key problem of patch upgrading is the convenient operation for maintenance staffs during upgrading process. You can complete the upgrading after ensuring the correctness of patch version and you also can roll back when finding abnormal conditions. To upgrade patch, perform the following steps: Step 1 Observe the patch status. As the equipment is used in the network for a long time, the status of current patch loaded may be not archived, or the archived information is not correct. Whether the patch version for upgrading can be loaded is closely related to the current patch status; therefore, it is essential to observe the current patch status of system. You can observe the current patch status by using the commands based on the system, subrack, board type and board. You can observe the patch status when patches are in the state of loading, activation and default. Step 2 Load a patch. Patch loading indicates that after the M2000 deliverers the patch loading commands. The MSOFTX3000 loads the patch files downloaded to the BAM system to the boards. After loading, the status of the new patch can be checked by using commands.

20 Version Software Management Feature

HUAWEI MSOFTX3000 Feature Description

The system loads the corresponding patches for the boards based on the patch types. Patch files must match each version. Each type of board can only have one patch file while one patch file can contain many patch units. Step 3 Validate a patch. To validate the patch is to activate the patch. The patches are managed by the same patch management modules; hence, the patches on the same board can be validated at the same time but the patches on different boards can not. Therefore, the patches on different boards are validated in a certain sequence. The system observes the validated patch on a certain type of board for a period of time. If the running status meets the requirements of system, the patches of other boards are loaded. Therefore, the function validating patches based on the board type is required. Step 4 Cancel a patch.

When you cancel patches, the patches loaded are not validated due to board switchover and reset. Patch cancellation does not differentiate the active/standby boards. Patch cancellation can also be called patch deactivation and patch removal. The patch cancellation is required when the system is abnormal after the patch upgrading is completed. The methods of canceling the patch are listed as follows: Cancellation based on board Cancellation based on board type Step 5 Confirm a patch. Patch confirmation is to set the effective patch to the default patch. After the patch is effective for a period of time, if the system is running normally, update the patch and make the patch loaded to the current default patch. ----End

21.1 Service Description


21.1.1 Function Code
Table 21-1 lists the name and function code of this feature. Table 21-1 Feature name and function code Name Configuration rollback Code WMFD-121500

21.1.2 Definition
To ensure network security, the system is equipped with the timely rollback function that can prevent traffic loss caused by incorrect operations. This is a basic requirement of telecom products. Consider that the configuration rollback feature is not enabled. During data configuration, after you successfully add, delete or modify certain data, the modified data is stored in the database temporarily. The data is then sent to the host and takes effect immediately after the formatting and online setting functions are enabled. If the data is wrongly configured, you have to restore the previous configuration. It wastes time to restore the database backup or run the commands one by one to get back to the previous state. In addition, if you choose to restore the database, you have to set the data table in batch or reset the host, which may interrupt the services and in turn affect the stable operation. To solve these problems, the configuration rollback function is presented. It sets up a standby area for each table that supports configuration rollback. You can first configure data in the standby area. This does not affect the data in the active area or services of the host. After the configuration is complete, you hand over the data in the standby area to the active area to validate the configuration. After a period of trial operation, if the data is found to be incorrect, you hand over the active/standby data to roll back to the previous state. If the data is proved correct, you enable the configuration permanently and end the task.

"Enable" in non-rollback state: The host runs the newly configured data and cannot roll back to the previous configuration. "Enable" in rollback state: The host runs the newly configured data and can roll back to the previous configuration. "Enable permanently" in rollback state: It means the same as "Enable" in non-rollback state. The configuration rollback mechanism is built on the principle that the operator who locks the table is authorized to perform the related operations. As a special internal account is used to log on to the BAM from the M2000 and this account is not related to M2000 users, operations of multiple users on the M2000 cannot be distinguished at the BAM side and thus the BAM cannot obtain specific user information. Therefore, only the local users of the NE can use the configuration rollback feature.

21.3 Working Principle


21.3.1 Basic Principle
The system sets a standby area for the tables that support configuration rollback, including tables in the database and formatting data files. The active area consists of the current tables and the formatting files. It is in the directory Data. The standby area that contains the standby tables and formatting files is in the directory Data_Backup.

21 Configuration Rollback Feature

HUAWEI MSOFTX3000 Feature Description

The standby area directory is in the BAM installation directory MSOFTX3000\ConfigRollBack. All the configuration rollback operations are performed in the standby area. After the configuration is complete, you can hand over the active/standby data to validate the modification. After a period of trial operation, if the data is found to be incorrect, you can hand over the active/standby data to roll back to the previous state. If the data is proved correct, you can enable the configuration permanently and end the task. Figure 21-1 shows the structure of the active and the standby areas.

Modify

To facilitate the description of state transition, three table states are defined: Normal In "Normal" state, you cannot perform any configuration operation. Modify During configuration rollback, you can run commands to configure data in "Modify" state and only in this state. If a table in "Modify" state is not processed within a period, its state remains unchanged. Trial In "Trial" state, the newly configured data takes effect in the host. If any problem is found in this state, the system rolls back to the "Modify" state to correct the configuration.
The table states are used when the configuration rollback function is enabled. If it is disabled, the configuration flow is as normal, that is, the previous three states do not exist. The restart of the BAM does not affect the table state, original data and backup files of a table in "Modify" or "Trial" state.

Normal State
When the configuration rollback function is enabled, before you run the synchronization command, the tables that support configuration rollback are in "Normal" state. The data in the active area is the original data, represented by V0. The standby area has no data, represented by V?. Consider the Called Number Analysis Table as an example. Suppose there is a record Call prefix = 135 in the active area, then the same record exists in the host and no data exists in the standby area.

21 Configuration Rollback Feature

HUAWEI MSOFTX3000 Feature Description

Modify State
Synchronization means to synchronize the data in the standby area with that in the active area. After synchronization, the data in the two areas is the same. The table changes to be in "Modify" state. The record Call prefix = 135 exists in the standby area. You can run commands to configure data in the tables that support configuration rollback feature only in "Modify" state. The commands take effect only in the standby area. The data in the active area does not change and the host is not affected. If you add a record Call prefix = 136 to the table, then there are two records of call prefix in the standby area. The data in the standby area is now represented by V1.There is only one record in the active area and the host, that is, Call prefix = 135. If you cancel the operation in "Modify" state, the data V1 in the standby area is deleted. The data in the active area and the host remains unchanged.

Trial State
After activation or forcible activation, the table changes to be in "Trial" state. The data in the standby area is handed over to the active area and then set to the host immediately. In case of later rollback, the system also hands over the data in the active area to the standby area. Now the data in the active area is V1. Two records (Call prefix = 135 and Call prefix = 136) exist in the active area. The data of the host is the same as that in the active area. The data in the standby area is V0. Only one record (Call prefix = 135) exists in the standby area. In "Trial" state, the data is being tested. You are not allowed to perform any operation. If you find that the configured data has errors, defects or problems that cannot be located, you can roll back the configuration to the original state. After rollback, the data in the active and the standby area exchanges again. The data in the active area is V0. Only the record (Call prefix = 135) exists in the active area and the host. The data in the standby area is V1. Two records (Call prefix = 135 and Call prefix = 136) exist in the standby area. In "Trial" state, if the data in the host is correct, run the confirmation command and enable the configuration in the active area and the host permanently. The table changes to be in "Normal" state. Now the data in the active area is V1. At the same time, the data in the standby area is deleted. In "Trial" state, the host is running as usual. If you want to re-configure the data, you can run the command FSYN XXX to forcibly synchronize the data in the standby area with the data in the active area. Thus, the former data in the standby area is lost completely. The table turns to be in "Modify" state. You can proceed with the configuration and then activate, roll back or confirm the configuration.

21.3.3 Validity Check


During configuration rollback, to ensure the efficiency and accuracy of the data, you must perform validity check on the data configured in the standby area. To facilitate the description of data credibility, four data states are defined: Valid It is a basis for active/standby data handover (activation or rollback) that the data in the standby area is "Valid". The tables are not required to be checked in "Modify" state. Therefore, the data in the standby area must be checked for validity before handover.

Unknown The tables rely on each other during data configuration. Therefore, the data in the table is updated to be "Unknown" after rollback. The unknown data is the data that has not been verified. Checked The data in "Checked" state means that the data is being checked. Invalid During validity check, if the data fails to meet the check rules, it is set to be "Invalid". Figure 21-3 shows the state transition of the data in the standby area. Figure 21-3 State transition of data in the standby area

21.4 Service Flow


Besides the functions described in the previous sections, the configuration rollback feature provides protection/restriction functions for the tables, including the following: Single user locking Table state query Comparison of data in active and standby areas In actual usage, the basic operation flow of the configuration rollback feature is as follows: Step 1 Run the command SET FMT to enable the formatting function. Step 2 Run the command SET CFGRLB to enable the configuration rollback function and enter the operation state of configuration rollback.

Before enabling the configuration rollback function, you must enable the formatting function first. The latter cannot be disabled when the former is enabled.

Step 3 Consider that you must modify a table that supports configuration rollback. First, run the command SYN XXX to synchronize the data in the standby area with that in the active area. XXX refers to the object to which the command is executed.

HUAWEI MSOFTX3000 Feature Description

1. 2.

Synchronize the data in the standby area with that in the active area. This is a basis for later modification. Lock the table. It serves two purposes:

The data of the locked table in the active area cannot be modified. It prevents other operators from modifying the data of the locked table in the standby area at the same time.

You modify data in the standby area and the modification is not set to the host. If another operator wants to modify the table at the same time, he/she must obtain the control right by running the command FSYN XXX. Note that the data modified by you may be lost then.

If you want to run the forcible synchronization command, it is recommended to query the table state to check whether the table is locked by any other operator. If the table has been locked by an operator, you must obtain agreement of that operator first and keep cautious in operation.

Step 4 During data configuration, if you want to cancel the modification, run the command CNL XXX to delete all the modified data in the standby area while the data in the active area remains unchanged. Step 5 After configuration, run the command ACT XXX to validate the modified data and start the trial operation. At present, the data in both the active and the standby areas cannot be modified. The data in the standby area must be checked for validity before activation. If the check fails because the dependent tables affect each other, run the forcible command FACT XXX to omit the validity check on certain tables. Before activation or rollback, the data must be proved valid. The validity check can be performed in either of the following ways: The BAM auto checks the data of the tables that support configuration rollback every five seconds. You can run the command CHK XXX to check the data of a specific table. Step 6 Within 24 hours after activation, if you find errors in the configured data, run the command RLB XXX to hand over the active/standby data again. After handover, modify the incorrect data and then re-activate it. The data in the standby area must be checked for validity before rollback. You can run the forcible command FRLB XXX to avoid the validity check if necessary. Within 24 hours after activation, if you want to re-configure the data, use either of the following methods: Roll back the configuration. Modify the data and then activate it again.
The configuration must be rolled back to the original state by using this method. This may interrupt the services set up by the newly configured data. The data in the standby area, however, resumes the previous configuration after rollback. The operator can modify the data based on the previous configuration.

Run the forcible synchronization command to overwrite the standby area with the data of the active area, that is, use the modified data to overwrite the original data. Then, you can modify the data based on the previous modification and re-activate it.

The configuration can never be rolled back to the original state by using this method.

Step 7 Confirm the configuration in either of the following two ways: Manual confirmation You can confirm the configuration within 24 hours after activation and run the command CMT XXX to validate the data. The system enters the "Normal" state. Auto confirmation If you do not confirm the configuration within 24 hours, the system auto confirms it and enters the "Normal" state. The data becomes valid permanently. The standby area is now cleaned up. The configuration can never be rolled back again. Step 8 After confirmation, run the command SET CFGRLB to disable the configuration rollback function. At present, you are not allowed to perform any configuration rollback operation. ----End Only the users at the Operator level or higher levels are authorized to perform the configuration rollback operations. A user name often corresponds to a user ID (used inside the BAM). When a user name is deleted and then added again, the user ID of this user changes. The configuration rollback feature only identifies the user ID. Therefore, user names can be used to identify the operators. The same operator can log in to different terminals to perform configuration rollback operations at the same time. During configuration rollback, a set of commands are provided for operators to query the current state, standby table data, differences between the active and the standby tables. These commands are described in the following sections.

21.5.2 Configuration Preparations


Configuration rollback is a supplementary feature for service data configuration. It is disabled by default. During configuration rollback, you must ensure that the services are not affected. The configuration rollback operations may affect the services in the following ways: The command FSYN XXX deletes the original data in the standby area. Forcible activation or rollback may lead to invalid data in the active area. These commands however, are used only when the handover fails because of the dependent relationship of tables. The data configuration of the configuration rollback feature complies with the normal configuration guide.

21.5.3 Configuration Steps


In "Modify" or "Trial" state, you can run the command CMP XXX to compare the data between the active and the standby areas. In "Modify" state, the BAM auto checks the validity of the data in the tables that support configuration rollback every five seconds. The auto confirmation duration is 24 hours by default. Therefore, in "Trial" state, the system auto confirms the modification after 24 hours. You can run the command MOD CMTTM to modify the auto confirmation duration.

Consider the Called Number Analysis Table as an example to describe the configuration steps. Step 1 Run the command SET CFGRLB to enable the configuration rollback feature.
SET CFGRLB: STS=ON;

Step 2 Run the command SYN CNACLD to synchronize the call prefix of the active and the standby areas.

SYN XXX
Before modifying a table that supports configuration rollback, you must synchronize the data of the active and the standby areas. The synchronization can be performed in "Normal" or "Modify" state. Note that the data modified after the first synchronization is lost if you synchronize the data in "Modify" state. After the first synchronization, the table changes to be in "Modify" state. It is locked by the operator who performs the synchronization. Other operators are not allowed to modify the table or perform the configuration rollback operations on the table unless they forcibly synchronize the table to obtain the control right. The data requires to be synchronized includes the formatting data and the tables in the database. Synchronization of formatting data: The formatting files for the standby area are generated and organized on the basis of table. After synchronization, the formatting files Table Name_Backup0.dat and Table Name_Backup1.dat for the standby area are generated in the BAM installation directory \ConfigRollBack\Data_Backup. The initial data of these two files comes from the db_?.dat files of the modules of the table. Table Name_Backup0.dat is the backup file for the active area. It always keeps consistent with the data in the active area. Table Name_Backup1.dat is the formatting file for the standby area. The data in the standby area is formatted to this file in configuration rollback state. Synchronization of database tables: Each table that supports configuration rollback has a standby table named Table Name_Backup1. The data in the active table is exported to the standby table in synchronization. In "Modify" state, the data in the standby table is modified. You cannot modify the data in the active table in "Modify" state. All the configuration commands are executed on the standby table. At the same time, the BAM formats the data in the standby table to the formatting file Table Name_Backup1.dat. The online setting is not enabled now. To improve the configuration efficiency, the storage procedure does not check the consistency of service data in "Modify" state. The state of the data in the standby table is updated from "Valid" to "Unknown". Let the system auto check or run the command CHK XXX to check the data credibility. Activate the data only when it is valid.

FSYN XXX
The forcible synchronization works almost the same as synchronization. The table changes to be in "Modify" state after being forcibly synchronized. It however, can be performed in any state, which is different from synchronization. An operator can obtain the control right of a table by this operation.

This command is used to activate the modified data in the standby area. You can perform it only in "Modify" state. After activation, the table changes to be in "Trial" state. Only the operator who locks the table can activate it and the data in the table must be "Valid". If the data is "Unknown", run the command CHK XXX to check it or let the system auto check it. If the data is still "Invalid" after check, you can run the command FACT XXX to activate it forcibly. If there are two tables relying on each other in "Modify" state, the two tables may be both invalid. The key operations for activation are active/standby data handover and data setting. The data handover contains the following: Handover of formatting data: Update the data in Table Name_Backup1.dat to the formatting file, db_?.dat in the active area. Hand over the two files Table Name_Backup0.dat and Table Name_Backup1.dat to ensure that the data in Table Name_Backup0.dat is consistent with the data in the active table.

HUAWEI MSOFTX3000 Feature Description

21 Configuration Rollback Feature

RLB XXX
This command is used to roll back the configuration, and replace the data in the active area with the data in the standby area and validate it. It can be performed only in "Trial" state. After rollback, the table changes back to be in "Modify" state. Only the operator who locks the table can roll it back and the data in the standby table must be "Valid". If the data is "Unknown", you can run the command CHK XXX or let the system auto check it. (The default check period is five seconds.)If the data in the standby area is still "Invalid" after check and you are sure to roll it back, run the command FRLB XXX to roll it back forcibly. If there are two tables relying on each other in "Modify" state, the two tables may both be invalid. Rollback is a converse operation of activation. The key operations of rollback are the same as those of activation, that is, active/standby data handover and data setting. The data handover contains the following: Handover of formatting data: Update the data in Table Name_Backup1.dat to the formatting file, db_?.dat in the active area. Hand over the two files Table Name_Backup0.dat and Table Name_Backup1.dat to make sure that the data in Table Name_Backup0.dat is consistent with the data in the active area. Handover of database tables: Handover the data in the standby table Table Name_Backup1 and that in the active table.

FRLB XXX
The forcible rollback works almost the same as rollback. The table changes to be in "Modify" state after being forcibly rolled back. The data however, is not checked for validity before forcible rollback. Besides, the tables locked by an operator can be rolled back forcibly by another operator.

CNL XXX
This command is used to delete all the modification in the standby area. The table changes back to be in "Normal" state. Only the operator who locks the table can cancel the modification. After cancellation, all the data (including the formatting files and standby table data) in the standby area is deleted. All the data modified in "Modify" state is lost. In "Modify" state, when you want to stop and cancel the data modification, run this command to get back normal running. The command does not affect the data in the active area.

CMT XXX
This command is used to confirm the modification and validate it in the active area permanently. It can be performed only in "Trial" state. After confirmation, the table changes to be in "Normal" state. The execution flow of confirmation is similar to that of cancellation. Only the operator who locks the table can perform it. After confirmation, all the data in the standby area is cleared. The two commands however, function differently. The former validates the modified data while the latter invalidates the data. The BAM provides a 24-hour auto confirmation mechanism. If you do not confirm the configuration within 24 hours in "Trial" state, the system auto confirms it and the table then changes to be in "Normal" state. The only difference between auto confirmation and CMT XXX is that the system does not report the MML status for the former.

21.6.6 Query Commands


The query commands include the commands to: List active table data List standby table data Compare the data of the active/standby tables Check the data validity in the standby table These four categories of commands are supplementary commands for the configuration rollback feature. The operator who is authorized to run these commands can query the tables locked by another operator. The mapping relationship between the commands and the data tables is listed in Table 21-10.

LST XXXBKP
This command is used to list the standby table data. Only the tables in "Modify" or "Trial" state can be queried. The attributes in the query result are almost the same as those of the active table. The operator who is authorized to run the configuration rollback commands can query the standby tables locked by another operator.

CMP XXX
This command is used to compare the data of the active and the standby areas when the table is in "Modify" or "Trial" state. Three kinds of result can be returned: Records existing only in the active area Records existing only in the standby area Records that are inconsistent in the active and the standby areas The records are checked based on the service index field. If the index of a record exists only in the active table, then the system assumes that the record exists only in the active area. This rule also applies to the data in the standby area. If a record exists in both the active and the standby areas, but certain fields are inconsistent between the two areas, then the system assumes that the record is an inconsistent one. Only the fields related to services in a record are checked for inconsistency. In the result, the service index fields of the inconsistent records are displayed. For detailed record information, you must run the command LST XXX to query the active and the standby tables. The operator who is authorized to run this command can query the standby tables locked by another operator.

CHK XXX
This command is used to check the validity of the data in the standby area. The data can be checked only when the table is in "Modify" or "Trial" state. To improve work efficiency, the configuration commands do not check the relationship between data tables in "Modify" state. The data in the standby area, however, must be valid before activation. Therefore, you must run this command to check the data validity. At the same time, the BAM auto checks the tables with "Unknown" data every five seconds. The purpose of this command is to ensure the correctness of service data after the data is handed over to the active area. Therefore, the validity check is performed between the target standby table and other active tables. When several tables in "Modify" state rely on each other,

all of them may fail to pass the check. If you confirm that the data is correct, you can run the command FACT XXX/FRLB XXX to hand over the data forcibly. The operator who is authorized to run this command can check the validity of data in the standby tables locked by another operator. The BAM auto checks the data state of the tables that is not "Valid". If the data is proved "Valid", you need not run the command CHK XXX to check the data before activation.

22.1.2 Definition
The CAMEL function is a network feature instead of a supplementary service. As a capability of the network, the CAMEL helps carriers supply the customized enhancement services. With the CAMEL supported in the roaming network, the enhancement services are available even when the user roams out of the HPLMN network. The main functions of the CAMEL are as follows: Implementing the added call functions according to the 3GPP specification The CAMEL function is divided into multiple phases. This guide describes the Phase4 of the CAMEL function, that is, CAMEL4.The CAMEL4 can provide 19 added call functions based on the CAMEL3. Table 22-2 lists added call functions in the CAMEL4 service. Table 22-2 Added call functions in the CAMEL4 service Name Initiate Call Attempt (ICA) Definition The call attempt is initiated at the SCP side. The function is to set up a new call (NC) or a call party (NP) in a call connection. The function is to move a call party from the CS1 to a designated CS, or move a call party to a newly created CS1 when the CS1 does not exist. The CAP operation is used to move a subscriber from a CS to the main scenario CS1. The CAP operation is used to disconnect the designated call party in the current call connection without affecting other call parties.

Name Entity Released

Definition The CSA notifies the SCF to release the logical entity (CS or BCSC) through the CAP operation due to the call abnormality. The other logical entities, however, are not released and thus the SCF cannot end the TC dialog. The CAP operation is used to disconnect the SRF connection established through the CTR or EFT operation (The SCP notifies the MSC Server to perform the disconnection operation). The CallSegmentID parameter is added based on the DFC basis and it is used for the situation with multiple call segments. The MSC server controls the MGW to play tone to a party in the call or a call segment. The flexible Bursts mode can be adopted in the service. For an MO/VT call, the DTMF MidCall can report the keypad value of the MO/VT user to the SCP during the call connection. The charging indicator can be reported to indicate whether the charging is generated in the O-Answer/T-Answer DP event. The parameter is the same as Charge Indicator in the ITU-T Q.763. It can expand the BCSM call module and report the O_Term_Seized/T_Call_Accepted DP event when the called user is rang in the O-BCSM/T-BCSM. The O_Term_Seized and T_Call_Accepted events contain the location information of the users (calling party and called party). The MO call supports DP O_Change_Of_Position and VT call supports DP T_Change_Of_Position. The MSOFX3000 reports the position change information of the calling party and the called party during calling The SSP supports that the criteria matching parameter for Change Of Position DP is distributed. The SCP controls the SSP to determine whether the BOR is available to the call. It indicates whether the warning tone in the BurstList format can be contained in the Apply Charging in the SCP. It is used to notify the SCP that the FTN can be contained when the ERB reports the T_Busy or T_No_Answer DP. It indicates whether the SSP supports the subscribed EDS function. It indicates whether the SSP supports the serving network EDS function.

22.2.2 Requirement for License


The CAMEL4 feature is optional for the Huawei MSOFTX3000.The basic call functions of the CAMEL4 is available even without the CAMEL4-specific license. The following are the items involved in the license: Concurrent number of total ICA calls: maximum number of Leg information tables x number of the WCCU or WCSU modules x percentage (actual concurrent number of ICA calls)

Maximum number of Leg information tables: It is set to 4000 be default in the common parameter table. Number of the WCCU or WCSU modules: It must be accumulated based on the required modules actually. Percentage: It is the average percent of the legs (call parties) generated through the NP/NC mode in CAMEL4 services. The value is difficult to be accounted because the flows of every CAMEL4 services must be considered. Generally, it is accounted by 30% to 40%.

CAMEL4 enhancement capability The CAMEL4 enhancement is used as the chief switch to control 19 new functions in the CAMEL4 service. To acquire these functions, apply for this license first.
The MT-SMS-CSI function requires no license at present.

22.3 Working Principle


22.3.1 Functions of NEs
The MSC server, MGW and VLR implement the call-related signaling processing, data analysis, tone announcement, and charging. The functions implemented by each NE are as follows: The MSC server implements 19 added functions of the CAMEL4 feature. It supports the CAP messages in the CS domain defined in 29078-640. The MGW interworks with the MSC server to enhance the capability of tone announcement, even in BurstList mode. The VLR interworks with the HLR to implement the location upgrade, roaming number acquisition and subscription data change of users with the CAMEL4 feature subscribed.

22.3.2 Internal Processing of the System


On the basis of the CCF/SSF/SRF function supported by the CAMEL2/3, the CSA-specific software function entity is added in the CAMEL4 feature. The CAMEL4 call flow with the CSA software function entity involved is as follows: The MSC initiates the common CAMEL4 IN call, including the MO, MF, MT and VT flows. The SCP initiates the network call, that is, NP or NC call flow. The CAMEL4 call flow without the CSA software function entity involved is as follows: The SSP or AIP invokes the tone announcement flow of the CAMEL4 call through the Assistant Request Instruction (ARI). The call uses the CAMEL4 version, but does not involve the CPH operation. The SMS flow of the CAMEL4 includes the MO-SMS and MT-SMS flows.

22.3.3 External Interfaces


The CAMEL4 CAP and MAP adopt the R6 protocol interfaces. The detailed versions are as follows: The CAP interface involving the CAMEL4 service is based on the following interface versions:

3GPP TS 23.078 V6.3.0 (2004-09) 3GPP TS 29.078 6.3.0 (2004-09)

The MAP extension interface involving the CAMEL4 service is based on 3GPP TS 29.002 V6.7.0 (2004-09).

22.4 Service Flow


The service flow implemented in the CAMEL2/3 feature remains. For the CAMEL4-specific flow, only the following typical services are described as carriers do not identify the specific requirements for the CAMEL4 feature:

To perform the call conference, the following two conditions must be met: Before initiating the call, subscriber A has reserved the conference call for a certain period from the SCP. Based on the reservation conditions, the SCP initiates the call to subscriber C. Subscriber B has subscribes to the service in the SCP. After subscriber A calls subscriber B, the SCP calls subscriber C and makes subscriber C insert into the conversion between subscriber A and subscriber B. When either condition is met, the process for implementing the conference call is as follows: Subscriber A (leg1) calls subscriber B (leg2) and the call connection is established. Based on the subscription conditions, the SCP calls subscriber C (leg3) in NP mode. After subscriber C answers the call, the SCP makes C insert to the conversion between A and B. Thus, the thirdparty call connection is set up.

The SCP sends the Request Report BCSM Event (leg3) and Apply Charging (For leg3) messages to require the MSC server to report basic call status model even and ask for charging. The MSC server returns the Event Report BCSM (oAnswer/leg3) message and reports the response of the third party (leg3).

Porting leg3 to the conversion between A and B through the ML operation: It involves in a serial of complex processes, such as conference establishment inside and bearer refreshment.
The two colors are used in the preceding flow only to ease the description. The entire CAP message flow, however, is implemented in the same Transaction Capabilities Application Part (TCAP) dialog.

22.4.2 CAMEL4 IN RBT Service


Assume that subscriber B has subscribed RBT service in the SCP. When subscriber A (leg1) calls subscriber B (leg2), the CAMEL4 IN RBT function is invoked. The SCP disconnects B (leg2) and re-initiates a call to B in NP mode. In this case, B acts legs in the call. When B receives the ALERTING message, the SCP plays RBT to A. After B answers the call, the RBT stops and thus the call connection between A and B is set up.
For CAMEL4 IN RBT function, the SCP determines the route to the RBT center and the SSP (MSC server) processes only the call connection. You need not configure the RBT control table.

The CAP message flow of the CAMEL4 IN RBT is divided in to the following parts: The IDP invokes the call and disconnects the leg2 first. The called party (leg3) is connected in the NP call mode. When the Event Report BCSM (O_Term_Seized) is reported to the SCP, the SCP indicates the SSP to play RBT. In the flow, the RBT function is available in the local office by default. If the RBT is not in the local office, the RBT played must be implemented through the AIP or auxiliary SSP in other offices in ETC mode. The called party (leg3) responds the report of the Answer event. The SCP sends the Disconnect Forward Connect With Argument (CS1) message to stop the RBT. At the same time, it sends the Move Leg message to set up the call connection between calling party and called party (leg3).

22.4.3 CAMEL4 Simultaneous Ringing


The simultaneous ringing indicates that being correlated with other subscribers, the subscriber is called and the correlated subscribers are also ringing at the same time. The first to answer

the call is the actual called party. The following takes two subscribers who are simultaneously ringing for example. Figure 22-3 shows the message flow. Subscriber B has subscribed the simultaneous ringing service with subscriber C and thus subscriber B is correlated with subscriber C. When subscriber A calls B to invoke the IN service, B and C are ringing simultaneously after the SCP starts the simultaneous ringing service. If C answers the call first, the call connection between A and C is established and B is disconnected. If B answers the call first, the call connection between A and B is established and C is disconnected Figure 22-3 CAP message flow of the simultaneous ringing with C answering the call first

The message flow of the simultaneous ringing call is as follows: A calls B to invoke the IN service. The SSP sends the InitialDP message to the SCP. The SCP sends the Request Report BCSM Event (leg2, O_Term_Seized/O_Answer) message to require the SSP (MSC server) to report the ringing and answering event of subscriber B (leg2). After the SCP sends the Initiate Call Attempt(Number =C, leg3) message to set up the third call party subscriber C (leg3), the SSP (MSC server) returns the Initiate Call Attempt Result message. The SCP sends the Request Report BCSM Event (leg3, O_Term_Seized/O_Answer) message. In this case, the SSP (MSC server) reports the ringing and answering event of B (leg2) and C (leg3). If the SSP (MSC server) reports the Event Repot BSCM (leg3, O_Answer) message, it indicates that C answers the call first, as shown in Figure 22-3. The SCP sends the Disconnect leg (leg2) message to release B (leg2).It sends the Move Leg message to port C (leg3) in the conversion, and thus the call connection between C and A is established. If the SSP (MSC server) reports the Event Repot BSCM (leg2, O_Answer) message, it indicates that B answers the call first, as shown in Figure 22-4. The SCP sends the

The principle for implementing the CAMEL4 is the same as that for common traffic statistic. For details, refer to the MSOFTX3000 Performance Specification Reference.

22.9 Service Interaction


The section describes the mutual impact and restriction between some call scenarios and the CAMEL4, which are not identified in the 3GPP.The scenarios are so complex that you need to consult the R&D personnel for the latest information if the onsite scenario is not described here.

22.9.1 Restriction Between the Supplementary Services


The CAMEL4 supplies the CPH function. After the call is activated and is in connected state, the SCP performs the bearer modification through the CPH operation. Certain supplementary services such as call hold, call waiting, conference call and explicit call transfer (ECT) may also result in bearer modification. In this case, the CPH operation may conflict with the supplementary services. If no measure is taken for the supplementary and CPH operation, the result of the bearer may be unpredictable. The CAMEL4 does not detail the measures to be taken, so you need to conduct the following configurations based on the internal implementation mechanism of the interaction between the CPH operation and supplementary services: Mode A The CPH operation is not contradictory with supplementary services. If the CPH flow and supplementary services exist simultaneously, the result may not meet the requirement for the service application as they do not restrict each other. In this case, adopt mode B to handle the process. Table 22-8 lists the supplementary services supported in mode A. For the services which are not specified, consult the R&D department for the latest information.

Table 22-8 List of supplementary services supported in mode A Supplementary Services Call hold Whether to Support in Mode A Supported Description

After a subscriber holds a call, but before retrieves the call, the SCP moves the subscriber leg to the CS1 through the CPH operation. The subscriber then restores to the original situation through the RETRIEVE operation. In this case, the result of the RETRIEVE operation may be not consistent with the expectation of the subscriber. It is the same as Call hold. As in the CAMEL2/3, the IN subscriber who initiates the call does not support the ECT service. The subscriber in the conference also cannot initiate the ECT call. (The ECT is enabled only when the number of leg is less than two in the CS1.) The CPH operation and the conference call cannot be supported simultaneously. None.

Call waiting ECT

Supported Supported

Conference call Forwarded call services

Not supported Supported

Mode B The CPH operation is contradictory with supplementary services and the detailed principles are as follows:

During call connection, if the SCP performs the CPH operation first, the supplementary services will be prohibited temporarily in the subsequent process. If supplementary services are performed first, the CPH operation is prohibited when supplementary services do not retrieve the original call scenario completely. After supplementary services are completed, the SCP can continue to perform the CPH operation.

22.9.2 Restriction Between Multiple CPH Operations in the CAMEL4 Service


This scenario is applied when the IN relations of the CAMEL MO and MT/VT are invoked in the MSOFTX3000 at the same time. In this scenario, if two SCPs perform the CPH operation simultaneously, the result is unpredictable. The 3GPP, however, does not detail how to process the contradiction. The MSOFTX3000 supports the following processing modes: No-restriction: The MO and MT/VT do not restrict each other. This mode is used only when the CPH operation cannot be performed to the same call by the MO and MT/VT. The result is difficult to be confirmed, so this mode is not recommended. Determining whether LEG1 and LEG2 retrieve to the CS1: This mode is the same as the HOLD/RETRIEVE mode. You need to determine whether one of the call parties (LEG1 and LEG2) invoked initially is in CS1 (The CPH operation is not performed). If so, the subsequent CPH operation is permitted; otherwise, the CPH operation fails.

HUAWEI MSOFTX3000 Feature Description

CAMEL4 capability restriction: The mode is implemented through the CAMEL4 capability of the IDP message of the initial call. If the MO invokes the CAMEL4, the CAMEL4 CPH capability of the invoked MT call is cleared. In the MT/VT call, when finding that the SSP has no CAMEL4 capability in the IDP message, the SCP does not perform the CPH operation in the MT call. For details, refer to scenario description 3 in section 22.5.4 "Data Configuration Examples."

22.11 FAQ
NC failure

Symptom
The SCP initiates an NC, and the SSP uses the service key 100. The message, however, is refused when it reaches the CAP interface. Thus, the NC fails. The message is traced through the TCAP, as shown in Figure 22-5. Figure 22-5 NC failure in the CAMEL4
SSP TC_BEGIN_IND TC_INVOKE_IND(InitiateCallAttempt) TC_U_ABORT_REQ SCP

Analysis
The NC failure may be caused when Service key is not configured in the MSC server. The CAMEL4 requires you to configure the service key for the NC correctly. The correct configuration enables the MSC server to obtain the CAMEL4 capability through querying the table.

Solution
When Service key of the lower 8 bits of P1201 is modified to 100, the failure is removed. MOD MSFP: ID=P1201, MODTYPE=P0, VALUE="FF64";

23.3 Working Principle


23.3.1 Functions of the NEs
In IMSI-based announcement, the MSC server works with the MGW to implement the service. The MSC server is responsible for: Configuring the announcement according to IMSI segments Obtaining the language based on IMSI segments of mobile originating subscribers The MGW is responsible for: Loading the corresponding announcement file Playing announcement

23.3.2 Internal Processing of the System


The IMSI-based announcement service implements announcement to callers according to an intelligent network announcement flow. The IMSI-based announcement service mainly applies to the situation when international roaming subscribers originate calls and the announcements are played at the originating office. The following are the internal processing steps on the MSC server: 1. The MSC server queries the IMSI prefix of the caller in the IMSI Language Configuration table (configured through ADD IMSILANG) to obtain the value of Specific language kind, such as 02, and the value of Reserve old language indication, such as Yes. When the originating office plays the announcement, the MSC server queries the tone ID configuration table (configured through ADD TONECFG) based on the default tone ID such as 0xF0010214, and gets a language type list (shortened as "list 1" hereafter), such as English. Based on the default Tone ID, the MSC server queries the Language Category Index Position table (configured through ADD LKINDPOS), and obtains the language category index position, that is, 0x01. For example, 01 of 0xF0010214 specifies the language category index.

23 IMSI-Based Announcement

HUAWEI MSOFTX3000 Feature Description

4.

The MSC server replaces the value of Specific language kind with the bits that specify the language category index, and obtains a new EID such as 0xF0020214.
EID is one of the parameters that the MSOFTX3000 uses to interwork with the MGW. It specifies the code of the signal tone or announcement at the MGW side. An EID is an 8-bit hexadecimal numeral. When it is used to specify signal tones, its bit structure is as follows (from high bit to low bit): service key (2 bits), language index (2 bits), voice code (4 bits). These bits work together to instruct the MGW to correctly handle the voice resources on its MTCU board. For instance, if EID "F0010135" is used to specify the call waiting tone, "F0" is the service key, which represents basic service tone or supplementary service tone. "01" is the language index which means the language is English. "0135" is the voice code, indicating that the tone is a call waiting tone.

5.

Based on the service key and tone bit of the new EID, the MSC server queries the Language Category table (configured through ADD LANKIND), and obtains a language category list (shortened as "list 2" hereafter) such as Chinese. Based on Reserve old language indication in the IMSI Language Configuration table and the information in list 1 and list 2, the MSC server obtains the announcement language list for the MGW. For details, see 23.11 "FAQ." The MSC server queries the Language Kind Change table (configured through ADD LKINDCHG) to obtain the language kind index corresponding to the announcement language list. The MSC server then obtains a tone ID that is sent to the MGW. The MSC server sends the tone ID to the MGW and instructs the MGW to play announcement.

The (G/V)MSC server requests the routing information from the HLR in which the callee is located. After identifying that the callee is switched off, the HLR returns a corresponding message. The (G/V)MSC server sends a termination establishment request to the MGW. The MGW returns a response message. The (G/V)MSC server plays failure announcement in the corresponding language based on the IMSI Language table. The (G/V)MSC server sends an announcement request to the MGW to instruct the MGW to play announcement in the language derived from the caller IMSI. The MGW responds to the request and plays the announcement. After the announcement is complete, the (G/V)MSC server sends a disconnection message to the caller.

23.3.3 External Interfaces


None.

23.4 Service Flow


The IMSI-based announcement service is mainly applied in the situation when an international roaming subscriber originates a call and thus generates various announcements, such as abnormal tone, call forwarding tone and call waiting tone. With the IMSI-based announcement service, the language type for announcement can be adjusted according to the IMSI prefix. The following describes the service flow when an international roaming subscriber originates a call and the callee is switched off, as shown in Figure 23-2.

MS A initiates a call by sending a Set-up message to the (G/V)MSC server. Based on the caller IMSI, the (G/V)MSC server queries the database and obtains the language type that matches the IMSI. The (G/V)MSC server sends a routing information request to the HLR. The HLR sends an information acknowledgement message, which indicates that the callee is power-off, to the (G/V)MSC server. The (G/V)MSC server sends an Add_req message to the MGW, asking for establishing a calling termination. The MGW responds to the (G/V)MSC server with an Add_reply message. The (G/V)MSC server initiates an Assignment request. The access side responds with an Assignment Complete message. The (G/V)MSC server sends the MGW an Add_req message, asking for establishing a Dummy termination. The MGW responds to the (G/V)MSC server with an Add_reply message.

Answer
A: After you configure the mapping between IMSI prefix and Specific language kind through ADD IMSILANG, you still need to run ADD LANKIND to configure the corresponding language name.

23.11.2 Question 2
Description
The Language Kind table is configured with eight languages, but the number of actual announcement languages is less than eight.

Answer
A: The final number of announcement language types is determined by the language types configured in the language ID configuration table, which supports up to five announcement languages.

23.11.3 Question 3
Description
What the use of the Reserve old language indication indicator (in the IMSI Language Configuration table) in the IMSI-based announcement service is.

Answer
A: The multi-language table can be configured with eight languages, while the Tone ID configuration table supports up to five language types. When controlling the announcement on MGW, the MSC server reacts according to the setting of the Reserve old language indication indicator. Reserve old language indication is set to Yes

If the multi-language table is configured with five or more language types, the first five languages will be assigned to the MGW. If the multi-language table is configured with less than five language types (for example languages A, B and C), the language types configured in the Tone ID configuration table (for example, languages C, D, E, F, and G) will be added to the former, and then the first five language types (A, B, C, D and E) will be assigned to the MGW. If the number of language types is still less than five, the MSC server directly assigns these available language types to the MGW. If the multi-language table is configured with five or more language types, the first five language types are assigned to the MGW. If the multi-language table is configured with less than five language types (for example languages A, B and C), the MSC server directly assigns these language types (three in this example) to the MGW.

Reserve old language indication is set to No

24.1.1 Function Code
Table 24-1 lists the function code about this service. Table 24-1 Function code about this service Name IP over E1 Code WMFD-141800

24.1.2 Definition
Some carriers cannot set up and maintain large IP bearer networks. They require using the original Time Division Multiplex (TDM) network after adopting the softswitch. Thus, the IP over E1 plan is designed to meet the requirement of the carriers. IP over E1 is a technology that the user plane bears IP packet data through E1 cables on the existing TDM network. At the same time, the Compressed Real-Time Protocol (CRTP) is used to improve the utilization of voice bandwidth. IP over E1 can save operation cost. The existing TDM network can provide the voice over IP (VOIP) service. In this case, IP over E1 can ensure the high reliability of the TDM network.

24.1.3 System Specifications


The MSOFTX3000 supports IP over E1 between MGWs. The MSOFTX3000 uses the FE interface to connect to a near switch or router without providing any IP over E1 interface. If the Mc and SIGTRAN interface adopt IP over E1, a device must be configured to support the conversion between E1 and FE interfaces. When IP over E1 is adopted for intra-office bearer, only the Bear Independent Call Control (BICC) protocol is supported.

24.1.4 Benefits
Table 24-2 lists the benefits of this service to carriers and mobile subscribers.

HUAWEI MSOFTX3000 Feature Description

24 IP over E1

24.1.5 Application Scenario


IP over E1 is applicable to all GSM and UMTS R99/R4 markets. The MSOFTX3000 supports IP over E1 between MGWs. The MSOFTX3000 uses the FE interface to connect to a near switch or router without providing any IP over E1 interface. If the Mc interface adopts IP over E1, a device must be configured to support the conversion between E1 and FE interfaces. At the Nc interface, IP over E1 supports only the BICC protocol and the forward fast, forward delay and backward delay bearer modes of BICC. MGWs support the Nb interface acting as the IP over E1 interface. The Nb interface supports the following networking modes:

Intra-office single MGW: It connects to the MGW of another office by adopting IP over E1 bearer. Intra-office multiple MGWs: All directly connected MGWs interwork by adopting IP over E1. Intra-office multiple MGWs: Some directly connected MGWs interwork by adopting IP over E1. Others adopt IP bearer. For inter-office calls: The flow control of inter-office MGW bearer can be realized through the BICC CIC and IP QoS bearer quality detection functions configured between offices. For calls cross MGWs (including intra-office calls and inter-office calls): The flow control of MGW bearer can be realized through the VTID and IP QoS bearer quality detection functions configured between MGWs in the office.

The QoS of voice borne by IP over E1 can be ensured through the following methods:

VTID is short for virtual terminal identifier.

The number of BICC CIC and VTID is obtained through the bandwidth of common voice coding (such as AMR and G.729) and the total bandwidth borne between MGWs. AMR is short for Adaptive MultiRate.

24.1.6 Application Limitations


Inter-office MGWs adopt IP over E1. The number of inter-office MGW connections is 12, which depends on the maximum number of subroutes. The directly-connected forward office cannot act as the Call Mediation Node (CMN) on the incoming local office. IP over E1 is designed for small or medium carriers. Thus, the CMN is rarely used. Each pair of MGWs in an office support only one bearer mode between them: IP over E1 or IP IP over E1 uses the BICC codec negotiation mechanism. Thus, the MSOFTX3000 must enable the Transcoder Free Operation (TrFO) function. When an E1 cable is faulty, MGWs can automatically adjust the valid bearer bandwidth between two MGWs without reporting the event of faulty E1 to the MSOFTX3000. Thus, MGWs do not adjust the number of VTIDs based on the status of E1. In this case, the transmission is ensured by the maximum bandwidth capacity of MGWs on transmission port.

corresponding to the BICC office direction. Also, the direction connection relationship between MGWs is configured, indicating that the bearer connection between MGWs is IP over E1 in the office direction. For calls cross MGWs, the MSC server realizes the configuration of direct connection relationship between intra-office MGWs and flow control of bearer between MGWs. The MGW determines that the user plane bearer of a certain call is IP over E1 based on the instruction of the MSC server. The MGW supports IP over E1 to adapt the IP data packet to the TDM. Then the IP data packet is transferred through the MIOE (TDM interface board).

IP Over E1

MGW 2

The internal processing flow of the system is as follows: 1. After receiving a call request from the access side, MSC server 1 determines that the bearer mode between outgoing office directions is IP over E1. When requiring MGW 1 to set up voice channel bearer, MSC server 1 instructs the domain where MGW 2 office direction is. MGW 1 selects a bearer address in the domain of MSC server 1 and reports it to MSC server 1. MSC server 1 sends the local office bearer address to the called office. MSC server 2 sends the domain where the incoming office direction is and peer IP address to MGW 2. MGW 2 sets up voice channel bearer.
Run ADD OFC on the MSOFTX3000 to set the domain where an office direction is. MGWs configure IP over E1 bearer resources in the corresponding domains.

MGW 3

MGW 4

Each inter-office MGW corresponds to a BICC office direction. Thus, the routing policy is that the BICC office direction and subroute are in one to one relationship. All subroutes of the same physical office direction belong to a route. The subroute selection mode of the route is Random or Percent based on actual condition. Through such routing policy, the number of inter-office MGW connections is 12, which depends on the maximum number of subroutes. The number is sufficient for small or medium carriers. Use the call initiated from MSC server 1 to MSC server 2 as an example to explain how the MSC server sets up inter-office bearer: Assume that MSC server 1 selects MGW 1 and office direction. Then MSC server 1 routes calls to MSC server 2. Based on office direction 2, local IP domain (domain 2) and IP bearer type (direct bearer) can be obtained. The two parameters are sent to MGW 1 to set up outgoing bearer. For incoming calls, MSC server 2 obtains MGW 4 in direct connection mode for incoming bearer setup, corresponding IP domain (domain 3) and IP bearer type (direction bearer) based on the incoming office direction (office direction 3). The two parameters are sent to MGW 4 to set up outgoing bearer. When setting up incoming bearer, MSC server 2 must provide the bearer plane address of MGW 1 to MGW 4. (The bearer plane address includes the IP address and port number that are sent by MSC server 1 to MSC server 2 through the IAM message.) IAM is short for initial address message. Multiple BICC office directions are defined between MSC servers. Currently, the multi-signaling plan is not used. Thus, the BICC signaling is borne over the SCTP link only.

Processing of Intra-Office Calls


For intra-office calls, configure the direct connection relationship (domain connection relationship) between intra-office MGWs.

When configuring the direct connection between intra-office MGWs, configure IP domains corresponding to the direction connection relationship at the same time. As shown in Figure 24-3, the connection relationship between MGW 1 and MGW 3 is domain 1; the connection relationship between MGW 1 and MGW 4 is domain 2; the connection relationship between MGW 2 and MGW 3 is domain 3; the connection relationship between MGW 2 and MGW 4 is domain 4. When the MSC server sets up the bearer between intra-office MGWs (medium bearer), if the IP domain parameter corresponding to a certain segment of medium bearer is not 0, the MSC server instructs IP domain to the related MGW.

24.3.3 External Interfaces


Currently, the MSOFTX3000 sets up the outgoing end point for BICC outgoing calls when the outgoing IAM message is sent. Thus, the IAM message must carry the IP over E1 address (IP address and port number) of the local bearer plane. Otherwise, the peer MGW cannot set up the corresponding incoming end point. When the MSOFTX3000 sets up the outgoing end point, it unconditionally requires the MGW to return the local SDP information (bearer plane address). When the IAM message is sent outgoing office, it sends the address of local bearer plane through the customized codec. When setting up the incoming end point, the MSC server instructs the remote SDP information (bearer plane address) to the MGW.

MSC server 1 determines that the bear type between outgoing BICC office direction and peer office is direct connection at outgoing office side. MSC server 1 instructs that IPBT=1 when it prepares bearer. In addition, MSC server 1 sends the IPD (IP domain parameter) configured based on office direction number. Considering the repeat uses of forward delay and backward delay mentioned in the following section, the number of interfaces between MSC server 1 and MGW 1 must be increased. MGW 1 returns the SDP information corresponding to the IPBCP in the Add.Rsp during the forward fast flow. MSC server 1 sends the outgoing IAM message, carrying the private codec corresponding to the SDP information. The codec identifies that the call is an IP over E1 call. MSC server 2 determines that the bear type between incoming BICC office direction and peer office is direct connection at incoming office side. MSC server 2 selects the local MGW directly connected to the peer office based on the incoming office direction number. MSC server 2 instructs that IPBT=1 when it prepares bearer. In addition, MSC server 2 sends the IPD configured based on office direction number, IPBCP Req carrying the peer office bearer information, and SDP information. MGW 2 resolves the IPBCP Req and SDP, and distributes corresponding bearer plane resources.

When MSC server 1 sets up a medium cluster, if the bearer type of the medium cluster is IP over E1, MSC server 1 must instruct the SDP information of T3 end point when setting up T2 end point, as shown in Figure 24-7.

Flow Control of Intra-Office Medium Cluster


The flow control of intra-office medium cluster based on IP over E1 adopts the mechanism of existing medium circuit borne by TDM. The VTID is configured between MGW pairs. The maintenance of VTID is the same with that of TID. The VTID does not require being sent to the MGW and performed TID audit with the MGW. The VTID is different from the TID of TDM/IP/ATM port. The number of VTIDs is obtained based on the total bandwidth of medium bearer and common voice coded (such as AMR). Whether a call is a voice or data service, a VTID is distributed on each MGW near by the call. That is, the G.711 codec adopted by data service occupies more bandwidth than the AMR codec adopted by voice service. This is because the ratio of data service is low. When calculating the number of VTIDs, you can reserve some medium bear based on the ratio of data service. The transmission port between MGWs is configured with maximum bandwidth capacity. This can remedy that the MSOFTX3000 cannot exactly control medium bearer flow.

24.5 Data Configuration


24.5.1 Overview of Data Configuration
For inter-office calls, specify the domain where an office direction is and the connection mode between MGWs on the MSOFTX3000, indicating that the intra-office call bearer adopted by a call is IP over E1. Configure the IP over E1 bearer resource of the MGW on the UMG8900. The domain to which the bearer resource belongs corresponds to the domain configured on the MSOFTX3000. For intra-office calls cross MGWs, configure the inter-office IP domain on the MSOFTX3000, indicating that the intra-office call bearer cross MGWs is IP over E1. Configure the IP over E1 bearer resource of the MGW on the UMG8900. The domain to which the bearer resource belongs corresponds to the domain configured on the MSOFTX3000.

24.5.2 Data Configuration at the MSOFTX3000 Side


The data configuration of IP over E1 on the MSOFTX3000 is listed as follows: Step 1 Configure IP domain and IP bearer type of the BICC office direction.

Parameter ID IPD

Parameter Name IP domain

Parameter Description This parameter is valid if only Signaling type is not set to Non-BICC. It determines the IP domain corresponding to the connection between inter-office MGWs. Value range: 0999 Default value: 0 The IP bearer type parameter is valid only when IP domain is not set to 0.

IPBT

IP bearer type

This parameter is valid if only Signaling type is not set to Non-BICC. It specifies the type of IP bearer. Value range: Direct bearer and Indirect bearer Default value: Direct bearer
Note: Indirect bearer indicates that the bearer type is not related to physical link.

Example: To configure the BICC_SCTP to IP over E1 office direction, set IP domain to 10 and IP bearer type to Direct bearer:
ADD OFC: ON="BICC_SCTP", OOFFICT=MSC, DOL=SAME, SIG=SCTP,CSCNAME="LOCAL_0", IPD=10, IPBT=DIRECT, AN="0", CONFIRM=Y;

When IP domain is set to 0, it indicates all interconnection by using router. Other values specify concrete IP domains. For MGWs, when IP domain is set to 0, it indicates that all router networking and bearer can be set up on any port. When MGWs do not use all router interconnection (including E1 all interconnection and non interconnection), IP domain must be set to values except 0 to set up bearer on the port corresponding to the MGW specified by IP domain. Thus, for the IP over E1 bearer mode, set Internal MGW connection type to Not all MGW connection and Internal MGW media type to IP by using ADD SRVNODE.

Step 2 Set Internal MGW connection type to Not all MGW connection. Command: MOD SRVNODE Function: It is used to add a dual-homing server node. Parameter description: It already existed. No new parameter description is required. Example: To set Internal MGW connection type to Not all MGW connection, run the following command:
MOD SRVNODE: SN="LOCAL", IMMT=IP, IMCT=NOT-ALLMGW;

25 IP QoS Flow Control

HUAWEI MSOFTX3000 Feature Description

25.1 Feature Description


25.1.1 Function Code
Name IP QoS flow control Code WMFD-163900

25.1.2 Definition
Logically, the MSOFTX3000 is classified into two network entities: mobile softswitch center (MSC) server and media gateway (MGW) . One MSC server controls one or more MGWs through H.248 or Media Gateway Control Protocol (MGCP). The functions of the network entities are as follows: MSC server: It is responsible for control functions in the circuit-switched (CS) domain, such as mobility management, security management, handoff processing, signaling processing, and subscriber service data management (VLR function). MGW: It bears the circuits in the CS network and media streams in the IP network, and is responsible for voice, data and video connection between the CS network and IP network, or in the same network. When the MSOFTX3000 interworks with another MSC server through the Bearer Independent Call Control (BICC) protocol, the MSOFTX3000 supports the IP QoS flow control if the MSOFTX3000 and MSC server bear media streams in IP mode. This ensures that the voice quality of an established call borne by the IP is not affected by the quality degradation of the IP bearer network. The IP QoS flow control can be used when the MSOFTX3000 works as end office, gateway office or tandem office. For an established call between two MGWs (intra-office or inter-office call), the IP QoS detection is implemented on the endpoints of the call. If an alarm is generated with the IP QoS damage, the MSOFTX3000 restricts subsequent calls through the flow control mechanism such as quality degradation or call restriction, so that the voice quality of the established call is not affected.

25.1.3 System Specifications


Item IP QoS and distributed trunk selection function Specification The IP QoS flow control is implemented on a WCDB. Through this distributed trunk selection function, the number of WCDBs that perform the trunk selection function increases. When the traffic is normal, the trunk selection function is implemented in load-sharing mode and thus each WCDB can independently perform the trunk selection. In this case, the IP QoS flow control is implemented only on one WCDB for one call.

Item IP QoS flow control in inter-office gateway pair mode Others

Specification The case that BCUID is not contained in the signaling between network elements (NEs) is not considered. If BCUID is not contained in the signaling, the MSC server cannot obtain gateway pair information or call route information. Thus, the MSC server cannot send the detection event and cannot implement the IP QoS flow control. When the quality of the bearer network becomes poorer, subsequent calls are restricted, but established calls are not released.

25.1.4 Benefits
Beneficiary Carrier Description In a mobile network, the IP QoS flow control ensures the quality of the IP bearer network. In case of heavy traffic, the traffic can be efficiently distributed or subsequent calls are restricted so that the quality of established calls is maintained. The IP QoS flow control improves the quality of established calls.

25.3 Working Principle


25.3.1 Functions of NEs
In the IP QoS flow control, the functions of the MSC server and MGW are as follows: MGW: It reports the quality alarm for a call. The alarm value indicates the call quality. The bigger the alarm value is, the poorer the quality of the call. MSC server: It implements call sampling, and the flow control of subsequent calls. The sampling message sent by the MSC server to the gateway is to detect the voice quality of calls of a certain direction on the gateway. If the voice quality is poor, subsequent calls are restricted, that is, the number of calls allowed per minute is restricted to a certain range. Through the sampling message, the QoS feedbacks of the bearer endpoints are given. Therefore, this method is also called feedback-mode flow control. The implementation of the IP QoS flow control is as follows: 1. The MSC server sends the call sampling message to the MGW before connecting to the calls of a certain direction on an MGW. After the connection, the MGW reports the alarm values of the voice quality of the calls to the MSC server. The MSC server determines whether to implement the flow control for subsequent calls, based on the alarm value of the voice quality of the calls (three calls supported currently). When subsequent calls are connected, the flow control is implemented if the MSC server detects that the voice quality of the calls of a certain direction on the MGW becomes poorer That is, the number of calls allowed per minute is restricted to a certain range. If the range is exceeded within a minute, the extra calls of this direction are released on the MGW. At the same time, a call restriction alarm is generated by the MSC server. For the

call restriction alarm between inter-office office direction gateways, the alarm ID is 1887; for the call restriction alarm between intra-office gateways, the alarm ID is 1890. 4. When the voice quality of the calls of a certain direction becomes good, a recovery period is enabled to avoid the call traffic jitter during the recovery and a recovery alarm is generated. For a recovery alarm between inter-office office direction gateways, the alarm ID is 1888; for a recovery alarm between intra-office gateways, the alarm ID is 1891. Within the recovery period, if the voice quality becomes better, the number of calls allowed per minute increases by geometric progression or arithmetical progression (set in SET QOSPARA), but the flow control is not released until the maximum threshold value (set in SET QOSPARA) is reached after the recovery period.

Currently, the policies of the IP QoS flow control are as follows: The IP QoS flow control is disabled. Only sampling function of the IP QoS flow control is enabled to detect the quality of the bearer network. The sampling function of the IP QoS flow control, and the IP QoS flow control are enabled. If it is found that the quality of the bearer network becomes poor through call sampling, the number of calls is restricted. This restriction is not cancelled until the quality of the bearer network is restored.

25.3.2 Internal Processing of the System


The IP QoS flow control can be implemented on two kinds of network segments: Network segment between two intra-office gateways Network segment between one outgoing gateway in a local office and one gateway in the peer office Based on the granularity of the IP QoS flow control, the IP QoS flow control between one outgoing gateway in an office and one gateway of the peer office falls into two modes: Inter-office office direction mode Inter-office gateway pair mode Therefore, in the current network, an outgoing gateway in an office can connect to more than one gateway in the peer office, and can also connect to more than one peer office.

25 IP QoS Flow Control

HUAWEI MSOFTX3000 Feature Description

Inter-office office direction mode In this mode, the QoS flow control granularity is reflected between the gateway in a local office, and the gateway in a peer office. As shown in Figure 25-1, MGW 3 of MSOFTX3000-1 is an outgoing gateway, which can connect to MSOFTX3000-2, MSOFTX3000-3 or MSOFTX3000-4. Calls from MGW 3 of MSOFTX3000-1 to any gateway of MSOFTX3000-2 are processed uniformly. And the IP QoS flow control is implemented on all these calls to MSOFTX3000-2. Inter-office gateway pair mode In this mode, the QoS flow control granularity is reflected between a gateway in a local office, and one or more gateways of a peer office, or more than one gateway of multiple peer offices. The gateways connected to the gateway in a local office are regarded as a whole, also called a virtual office direction. Therefore, the inter-gateway pair mode is also called inter-gateway virtual office direction mode. In this mode, the IP QoS flow control is implemented on all calls from outgoing MGW3 to a virtual office direction.
When the MSC server detects that the voice quality of calls of a certain direction on the MGW becomes poor, subsequent calls are restricted. In different flow control modes, the processing of subsequent alls is different. In inter-office office direction mode, subsequent calls are diverted to other MGWs with good bearer quality. If there are no other MGWs with good bearer quality, outgoing selection and subsequent calls fail. In inter-office gateway pair mode, subsequent calls are released.

These two inter-office modes are exclusive of each other. P353 software parameter is used to control which mode is used. For details, see the Software Parameter Description. Intra-office IP QoS flow control is independent of inter-office IP QoS flow control.

Internal Implementation of the System


When a call bearer channel adopts the IP bearer mode, IP voice packets are always delayed, lost, or jittered. Based on the bearer quality of the current call, it can be inferred that calls over the same channel also have the same bearer quality. By sampling the bearer quality of the current call, the system can obtain the bearer quality information of a specific inter-office office direction gateway pair or the bearer quality information of intra-office MGWs. Based on the information, the system restricts calls of a specific office direction gateway pair or calls of intra-office MGWs. For outgoing calls, IP QoS sampling and flow control are performed on the outgoing gateway and the office direction. The detailed processing flow is as follows: 1. If there is a call and the MSC determines that it is an outgoing call, the MSC instructs the WCDB board to select a route. After the WCDB board returns the route selection result, the system issues a sampling instruction if the system determines that the local office adopts the IP bearer mode or the outgoing trunk adopts SIP trunk or BICC trunk and the sample number is less than three (up to three samples are allowed to be obtained from each MGW direction). The sampling instruction is transparently transmitted by each module and finally sent to the gateway. Based on the quality of the current bearer network, the gateway reports the QoS value periodically. The value is sent to the CRO first. The CRO processes the value and then reports the processed value to the WCDB board periodically. Based on the QoS value reported, the WCDB board determines the quality of the current network. The method is: Set a QoS value, which indicates that the network bearer quality is normal, on the MSC through SET QOSPARA. If the QoS value reported by an MGW is equal to or larger than the value, it is considered that the

25-6

HUAWEI MSOFTX3000 Feature Description

25 IP QoS Flow Control

gateway bearer quality is bad. If the QoS value reported by an MGW is less than the value, it is considered that the gateway bearer quality is normal. 2. If the bearer quality of a gateway changes from good to bad, the WCDB board restricts the number of calls that pass this gateway in the next minute based on the number of calls in the previous minute or the average number of calls per minute from 4:00 a.m. till now. (Set the two options through the software parameter P354 QoS Control Parameter. For detailed description, refer to the Software Parameter Description. The default configuration, that is, the number of calls in the previous minute, is used as an example in this section.) The number of calls that pass the gateway in the next minute cannot exceed the number of calls in the previous minute. At this time, the number of calls in the previous minute obtained is defined as the number of calls per minute. If the gateway continues to report QoS values that are equal to or larger than the value configured on the MSC, the number of calls that pass the gateway is reduced based on the configured percentage and the number of calls per minute. If the QoS value reported is equal to the value configured on the MSC, the number of calls is reduced based on First descend percentage. If the QoS value reported is larger than the value configured on the MSC, the number of calls is reduced based on Second descend percentage. The two parameters can be configured through SET QOSPARA. If the gateway continues to report QoS values equal to or larger than the value configured on the MSC, the number of calls allowed to pass the gateway is reduced until it reaches the minimum number of calls allowed. Configure the minimum number of calls through SET QOSPARA. When the bearer quality of the gateway keeps worsening, the number of calls per minute is reduced based on the configured percentage. The number of calls in the next minute cannot exceed the number of calls being reduced. The established calls, however, are not disconnected forcedly. If the bearer quality of a gateway changes from bad to good (the MSC server does not consider that the bearer quality becomes good. The MSC server only starts a recovery process, during which the flow control is still enabled. After complete recovery, the MSC server considers that the bearer quality becomes good and disables flow control), the MSC server enables Resume long timer T1 (configured through SET QOSPARA). If a serious alarm (the QoS value reported to the MSC server the QoS value configured on the MSC server) occurs before T1 times out, the system enters the call restriction state again, and the call-restriction-threshold-increment Delta1 is set to 0; if T1 times out, set the times of continuous ascending call restriction threshold to N through SET QOSPARA, and start Resume short timer T2 (configured through SET QOSPARA) for N times. If a serious alarm occurs before T2 times out, the system enters the call restriction state again and Delta1 is set to 0; if T2 times out, set the initial value of Delta1 based on Resume delta type (When Resume delta type is set to Geometric Progression, the initial value of Delta1 is 1; when Resume delta type is set to Arithmetical Progression, the initial value of Delta1 is set to 0), then add Delta1 based on Resume delta type (By default, Geometric Progression is adopted, and Resume value is set to 2 through SET QOSPARA. You can also adopt Arithmetical Progression, and set Resume value to 1, 2 or other values), reduce N, and if N is not reduced to 0, T2 is restarted, the gateway keeps being recovered. If N is 0, add Delta1 to the number of calls per minute. If the number of calls per minute at present is larger than Maximal threshold (configured through SET QOSPARA), it indicates that the number of calls reaches the maximum value, and it is considered that the gateway is completely recovered and flow control is stopped. Otherwise, restart T1 to repeat the previous process to recover the gateway. If no sample is reported within a certain period (configured through SET QOSPARA), it is considered that the MGW loses information of the quality sampling call. The MSOFTX3000 issues a new sampling instruction.

25 IP QoS Flow Control

HUAWEI MSOFTX3000 Feature Description

If an intra-office call crosses two gateways, IP QoS sampling and flow control are performed between the two gateways. The detailed process is the same as previous description.

During the flows of the two modes, note the following: The processing flow in inter-office gateway pair mode and that in inter-office office direction mode are the same. Note that: In inter-office gateway pair mode, whether the MSC decides to issue sampling instructions and perform flow control is not processed during WCDB trunk line hunting. The BICC sends a QoS query message to the WCDB board to determine whether the call is under flow control, is going on by carrying samples, or is going on without carrying samples. Due to the distributed WCDB trunk line hunting function, the strategy adopted in inter-office gateway pair mode is that the BICC sends QoS query messages to each WCDB board in sequence so that the call samples can be evenly distributed. You can neglect the case caused by this strategy, that is, trunk line hunting for a call is performed on the first WCDB board while the QoS samples of this call are processed on the second WCDB board. Due to the distributed WCDB trunk line hunting function, the strategy adopted in inter-office office direction mode is that the WCDB board that performs trunk line hunting also issues samples and performs flow control. In case of large-volume calls, the possibility to perform trunk line hunting is the same for every WCDB board, and the flow control strategy of IP QoS is evenly configured for each WCDB board.

25 IP QoS Flow Control

For outgoing calls, the processing flow for IP QoS flow control in inter-office office direction mode is as follows: 1. An outgoing route is selected for a call on MSX1. MGW2 is selected as the outgoing gateway. The office direction is MSX2. If a route is selected successfully, MSX1 samples calls from MGW2 to MSX2. MSX1 issues a sampling instruction to MGW2. After receiving the sampling instruction, MGW2 reports the bearer quality of the call to MSX1 periodically in the form of QoS alarm value until the call is completed. The worse the bearer quality is, the larger the QoS alarm value is. MSX1 receives the QoS alarm value from MGW2 periodically. MSX1 analyzes the value to determine whether to perform flow control to future calls from MGW2 to MSX2. For the analysis principles, see 25.3.2 "Internal Processing of the System." If MSX1 determines to perform flow control to calls from MGW2 to MSX2, MSX1 restricts the number of calls per minute so that the calls do not exceed the number of calls in the previous minute. If subsequent calls from MGW2 to MSX2 meet the flow control requirements, these calls cannot be transmitted from MGW2. The system chooses another MGW for call connection.

25.4.2 IP QoS Flow Control in Inter-Office Gateway Pair Mode for Outgoing Calls
When the inter-office flow control mode is set to Gateway pair mode, the MSOFTX3000 determines whether to send the QoS detection after the BUCUID of the peer MGW is learnt in the subsequent APM message, because the BUCUID of the peer MGW is unknown when the MGW selects the outgoing gateway. Accordingly, the MSOFTX3000 must detect whether the MGW meets the conditions of the IP QoS flow control. Figure 25-3 shows the QoS processing flow in inter-office gateway pair mode for inter-office calls. Figure 25-3 IP QoS processing flow in inter-office gateway pair mode for inter-office calls

25 IP QoS Flow Control

HUAWEI MSOFTX3000 Feature Description

The IP QoS flow control in inter-office gateway pair mode for an outgoing call is described as follows: 1. MSX1 routes a call to MSX2 through MGW2, which functions as an outgoing gateway. MSX2 returns an APM, which contains the BCUID of the peer MGW. Suppose the BCUID of MGW3 is returned. MSX1, based on the BCUID of MGW3, determines whether the path from MGW2 to MGW3 meets the flow control conditions.

2.

If the path meets the conditions, the call is disconnected. If the path does not meet the conditions, MSX1 checks whether the number of sampling objects of the current path reaches three. If not, MSX1 instructs MGW2 for sampling.

3.

MGW2 periodically reports the bearer quality, which is expressed in QoS alarm value, to MSX1, before the call ends. The poorer the bearer quality, the larger the QoS alarm value is. MSX1 analyzes the alarm value and determines whether to carry out flow control for future calls from MGW2 to MGW3. For the analysis principles, see 25.3.2 "Internal Processing of the System." In gateway pair mode, the call from the MGW to the peer MGW is released directly. MSX1 does not select other MGWs to connect the call. This is because the MSOFTX3000 determines whether to carry out the flow control after the BCUID of MGW3 is obtained.

25 IP QoS Flow Control

1.

For a call from MGW1 to MGW3, the MSX selects the path from MGW1 to MGW3 first. The MSX instructs MGW1 for sampling. (In intra-office gateway pair, the MSOFTX3000 only need to instruct one MGW for sampling to obtain the QoS alarm value.) MGW1 periodically reports the bearer quality, which is expressed in QoS alarm value, to the MSX, before the call ends. The poorer the bearer quality, the larger the QoS alarm value is. The MSX analyzes the alarm value and determines whether to carry out flow control for future calls from MGW1 to MGW3. For the analysis principles, see 25.3.2 "Internal Processing of the System." If the bearer quality of the path from MGW1 to MGW3 gets poorer, the MSX enables the flow control to limit the number of calls per minute through this path. Thus, the number of calls does not exceed that of the last minute. The calls that exceeds the number, are routed through another path, such as MGW1>MGW2>MGW3. If the path from MGW1 to MGW2 or the path from MGW2 to MGW3 meets the flow control conditions, calls cannot be put through, either.

25.5 Data Configuration


25.5.1 Overview
The service must be provided by the UMG8900 of the version V002R005 or later. Thus, the service must be configured with both the MSOFTX3000 and the UMG8900 data. The configuration principles are as follows: Enable the IP QoS function on the MSOFTX3000, and select the flow control mode. Set parameters related to QoS through SET QOSPARA. Set the bearer quality mapping the QoS alarm value at the UMG8900 side.

25.5.2 Data Configuration at the MSOFTX3000 Side


If both the local office and the peer office adopt the IP bearer, or the gateways of the local office adopts the IP bearer, the data configuration of QoS flow control is based on the IP bearer. To configure the data at the MSOFTX3000 side, perform the following steps: Step 1 Set data of the IP QoS function. Run MOD MSFP to modify the software parameter P353. You can determine whether to enable the IP QoS function and set the inter-office flow control mode. The meaning of each bit of P353 is described as follows: Bit 0 indicates the inter-office flow control mode

= 0: inter-office office direction mode = 1: inter-office gateway pair mode = 0: No. = 1: Yes. = 0: No.

Bit 1 indicates whether to enable the sampling function.


Bit 2 indicates whether to enable the flow control function.

= 1: Yes.

Bit 2 has higher priority than bit 1, that is, if the flow control function is enabled, the sampling function is enabled irrespective of the value of bit 1. By default, the value of P353 is 0, indicating that the IP QoS flow control function is disabled. Table 25-3 lists the setting of software parameter P353. Table 25-3 Software parameter setting for QoS flow control function Bit 2 0 0 Bit 1 0 1 Meaning QoS is disabled. QoS is enabled. The sampling function is enabled. The MSOFTX3000 does not carry out the flow control when the quality of the bearer network gets poorer. QoS is enabled. The sampling function is enabled. The MSOFTX3000 carries out the flow control when the quality of the bearer network gets poorer.

Step 2 Configure the parameters for inter-office and intra-office QoS. Command SET QOSPARA LST QOSPARA Function Set QoS parameters. List QoS parameters.

The following describes the parameters related to SET QOSPARA. Call barring type It specifies the call barring type. The options are described as follows: Inter MSC: Inter-office calls are barred. Intra MSC: Intra-office calls are barred. This parameter must be specified. Sample object count It specifies the number of objects sampled by the MSOFTX3000 to detect the quality of the IP bearer network in the current call barring mode. This parameter is for future expansion and is reserved now. Sample protect time It specifies the sample protect time in the current call barring mode, in unit of minute. After the MSC server issues the sampling instruction, the sampling information is determined to be lost if no message is reported within the value of Sample protect time. In this case, the MSC server issues a new sampling instruction. Call barring alarm level

It specifies the threshold for call barring in the current call barring mode. In the current call barring mode, if the IP bearer quality alarm, that is, the QoS alarm value reported by the UMG8900, reaches the value of Call barring alarm level configured, the MSOFTX3000 carries out the call barring. Otherwise, the MSOFTX3000 does not carry out the call barring. First descend percentage It specifies the first descend percentage in the current call barring mode. When the QoS alarm value reported by the MGW reaches the value of Call barring alarm level, the MSC server bars calls according to the value of First descend percentage. Note that the value of First descend percentage must be larger than that of Second descend percentage. Second descend percentage It specifies the second descend percentage in the current call barring mode. When the QoS alarm value reported by the MGW is greater than the value of Call barring alarm level, the MSC server bars calls according to the value of Second descend percentage. Minimal threshold It specifies the minimum threshold value in the current call barring mode, that is, the minimum number of calls that can be connected every minute in the path in which the flow control is carried out. Resume long timer It specifies the duration of the resume long timer in the current call barring mode, in unit of second. Note that the value of Resume long timer must be equal to or greater than the value of resume short timer. Resume short timer It specifies the duration of the resume short timer in the current call barring mode, in unit of second. Resume hold times It specifies the resume hold times in the current call barring, that is, it specifies the number of times for the MSOFTX3000 to enable the short timer during the resuming. Resume delta type It specifies the resume delta type in the current call barring mode. The options are described as follows: Geometric progression: The MSOFTX3000 resumes calls according to the geometric proportion principle. Arithmetical progression: The MSOFTX3000 resumes calls according to the arithmetical progression principle. Resume value It specifies the resume delta value in the current call barring mode. This parameter is the radix for call barring resume. This parameter with Resume hold times determines the number of calls that can be resumed. The calculation relationship is as follows: When Resume delta type is set to Geometric progression, the number of calls that can be resumed is the nth power of Resume value, where n is the value of Resume hold

HUAWEI MSOFTX3000 Feature Description

times. For example, if Resume value is set to 2 and Resume hold times is set to 3, the number of calls that can be resumed is 8. When Resume delta type is set to Arithmetical progression, the number of calls that can be resumed is Resume value multiplied by n, where n is the value of Resume hold times. For example, if Resume value is set to 2 and Resume hold times is set to 3, the number of calls that can be resumed is 6. Maximal threshold It specifies the maximum threshold value in the call barring mode. During the call resume, if the number of calls per minute reaches or exceeds the value of Maximal threshold, the MSOFTX3000 stops the call barring in this path. Note that the value of Maximal threshold must be equal to or greater than that of Minimal threshold. Step 3 Configure the parameters for virtual office direction. When the QoS flow control office direction mode is set to inter-office mode, you must set the virtual office direction parameters through the following commands. Command ADD BCUIDOFC MOD BCUIDOFC RMV BCUIDOFC LST BCUIDOFC Function Add BCUID_Virtual Office Direction Mapping Modify BCUID_Virtual Office Direction Mapping Remove BCUID_Virtual Office Direction Mapping List BCUID_Virtual Office Direction Mapping

The following parameters are described by considering the command ADD BCUIDOFC for example. BCUID It specifies the ID of a bearer control unit. When the MSOFTX3000 is interconnected with the MSC server through the BICC protocol, the BCUID is used to uniquely identify an MGW in the BICC protocol message. The BCUID cannot be set freely. It is allocated by the network operator in the entire network. That is to say, each MGW has its unique BCUID in a network. Peer MGW description It specifies an MGW for identification. Its value is the character string with the value range of 32 characters. It is null by default. Virtual office direction name It specifies a virtual office direction for identification. It maps the virtual office direction name one to one. Its value is the character string with the value range of 32 characters. It is set to DFTVON by default. Note the following when configuring the virtual office direction through ADD/MOD BCUIDOFC: If only one virtual office direction mapping the MGW is configured, ensure that the VON is different from that mapping another MGW.

25.5.3 Data Configuration at the UMG8900 Side


This document introduces the UMG8900 data configuration only related to the MSOFTX3000. For details of UMG8900 data configuration, see its related documentation. The UMG8900 obtains the QoS value between the IP pairs based on the combination of package discarding rate, delay, and jitter. When the UMG8900 identifies that the voice quality becomes poor, it sends alarms to the MSC server (the UMG8900 also adopts timing alarming mechanism to ensure the reliability). The alarm message contains the QoS alarm level (level 0 is the lowest one and 5 is the highest). The package discarding rate of the MGW and the QoS value can be configured on the MGW (see MGW related document for details). The default value of each level is listed in the following table. QoS Value Level 0 Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Level 4 Level 5 Package Discarding Rate 0% 0%3% 3%8% 8%15% 15%30% 30% (> 0% and < 3%) ( 3% and < 8%) ( 8% and < 15%) ( 15% and < 30%)

The package discarding rate of each level is adjustable. For example, the package discarding rate of level 2 can be set to 5%10%. The level can be calculated according to the quality of the bearer network. The package discarding rate, delay, and jitter are the factors that reflect the QoS level. If packages are discarded, the QoS level is calculated based on the package discarding rate. For example, if the current package discarding rate is 3%, the corresponding QoS level is 1; if the rate is 10%, the QoS level is 3. If the package is not discarded, the loop delay and jitter are the factors that reflect the QoS level. If one of them exceeds the threshold (the value preset on the MGW), the QoS level can be considered as 1. For other situations, the QoS level can be considered as 0.

FAQ1
The quality of calls on a certain MGW office direction becomes poorer but the subsequent calls are still being connected. Step 1 Check whether the IP QoS flow control function of the MSC server is enabled and BIT2 of P353 is set to 1. If the flow control function is disabled, enable it. Step 2 If the flow control function is enabled. Run LST QOSPARA to check whether the Minimal threshold is set to a bigger value. If yes, modify the value to a smaller one (In call barring status, the number of calls connected per minutes is over this value). Step 3 If the problem remains, check the MGW configuration (see MGW user manual for details) to confirm the relation between the MGW QoS alarm value and the network QoS detected by the MGW. This problem occurs when the lower QoS alarm value maps the higher package discarding rate. Step 4 If the problem remains, save related information and contact Huawei technical support engineers for help. ----End

The functions of the NEs are as follows: The MS, BTS, and BSC provide signaling access and content submit of the MO SMs. The MSC server receives and saves the O-CSI subscription data during location update. The MSC server also processes the signaling, triggers the CAMEL service, and generates CDRs during the MO SM flow. The SMC receives and sends short messages. The HLR enables subscribers to subscribe to the O-CSI and inserts the data into the VLR during location update. The SCP processes and controls the IN part of the O-CSI SMS.

26.3.2 Intenal System Processing


When a subscriber who subscribes to the O-CSI but not the SMS-CSI originates a short message, the MSC server triggers the O-CSI SMS flow. Depending on the instructions from the SCP, the internal processing of the MSC server is classified into the following types: Sending of short message allowed by the SCP Sending of short message prohibited by the SCP

Sending of Short Message Allowed by the SCP


After O-CSI is triggered, if the SCP allows the subscriber to send the short message, the MSC Server continues to process the short message, as shown in Figure 26-1.

26.4 Service Flow


The O-CSI SMS enables the subscribers who subscribe to the O-CSI in the HLR but not the SMS-CSI to trigger the MO SMS flow. Depending on whether the SCP allows the sending of short messages, the service flows of the O-CSI SMS are classified into the following types:

Sending of Short Message Allowed by the SCP


Figure 26-3 shows the service flow when the sending of short message is allowed by the SCP. Figure 26-3 Service flow when the sending of short message is allowed by the SCP
BSC MSC Server Access process 1.CP_DATA 2.Intial-DP 3.CONTINUE 4.FORWARD_SHORT_MESSAGE_REQ FORWARD_SHORT_MESSAGE_CNF 5.CP_ACK SCP SMC

When the sending of short message is allowed by the SCP, the service flow is as follows: 1. 2. After the subscriber access is completed, the content of the short message is sent to the MSC server through the CP_DATA message. After receiving the short message content, the MSC server obtains the subscriber data (including CAMEL data) from the VLR and checks whether the subscriber subscribes to the SMS-CSI. If the subscriber subscribes to the SMS-CSI, the MSC server triggers the SMS-CSI flow. If the subscriber subscribes to the O-CSI but not the SMS-CSI, and the local office supports the O-CSI SMS by using the software parameters, the MSC server triggers the O-CSI and sends the Initial-DP message to the SCP. After receiving the Initial-DP message, the SCP determines to allow the sending of short messages, and sends the CONTINUE message to the MSC server. After receiving the CONTINUE message, the MSC server sends the content of the short message to the SMC through the FORWARD_SHORT_MESSAGE_REQ message. After receiving the FORWARD_SHORT_MESSAGE_CNF message from the SMC, the MSC server sends the CP_ACK message to the subscriber, indicating that the short message is sent successfully.

3. 4. 5.

After receiving the content of the short message from the BSC and before sending the InitialDP message to the SCP, the MSC server checks whether to allow the triggering of the O-CSI based on the logic relationship listed in Table 26-6. The software parameter that controls

Trigger the O-CSI SMS flow. Do not trigger the CAMEL MO SMS flow. Trigger the normal MO SMS low. Trigger standard CAMEL MO SMS flow.

The logical relationship is described as follows: When the SMS-CSI is subscribed on the HLR, the subscriber can use the standard CAMEL MO SMS flow and the MSC server processes the short message according to the flow. When the O-CSI is subscribed on the HLR, the subscriber can use the O-CSI SMS flow and the MSC server processes the short message according to the flow and the subscriber information in the SMOCSI table. If the subscriber information is not configured in the SMOCSI table, the MSC server terminates the CAMEL MO SMS flow and starts the normal MO SMS flow. When both the SMS-CSI and O-CSI are subscribed on the HLR, no confliction occurs because the priority of the SMS-CSI is higher than the priority of the O-CSI. The MSC server processes the short message according to the standard CAMEL MO SMS flow. When no CSI data of the subscriber is subscribed on the HLR, the MSC server processes the short message according to the normal MO SMS flow.

If the subscriber subscribes to the O-CSI but not the SMSCSI, and the local office supports the O-CSI SMS by using the software parameters, the MSC server triggers the O-CSI and sends the Initial-DP message to the SCP. After receiving the Initial-DP message, the SCP determines to prohibit the sending of short messages, and sends the RELEASE CALL message to the MSC server. After receiving the RELEASE CALL message, the MSC server terminates the MO SMS flow, and sends the CP_ACK message to the subscriber, indicating that the short message fails to be sent.

27.1 Service Description


27.1.1 Function Code
Table 27-1 lists the name and code of the function. Table 27-1 Name and code of the function Name UP header redundancy service Code WMFD-141900

27.1.2 Definition
The user plane (UP) header redundancy service is designed to solve the undesirable effects in some data services (such as poor quality or even failure in faxing) caused by unreliable data transmission over IP bearer networks. Based on RFC 2198, the service uses the free bytes in voice packets (such as G.711A/U) to transmit redundancy packets. This reduces the chances of successive packet losses and improves the reliability in data transmission.

27.1.3 Benefits
Beneficiary Carriers Subscribers Description More reliable data services like fax and video call can be implemented on IP bearer networks. A subscriber can gain better experience in fax and video call, and the services are more reliable.

27.1.4 Application Scenario


This service is applicable to all markets of GSM and UMTS R99/R4. For IP bearer networks, this service improves the reliability of data services (primarily faxes at present) in the traditional circuit switched (CS) domain and provides better user experience.

27.1.5 Application Limitations


The application limitations include the following: This service can be used only between the Huawei MSC servers of the same R level version. This service does not support interworking with the devices of other manufacturers. Currently, only when the trunk signaling is ISUP, TUP, or BICC can this service be used.

27.5 Data Configuration


27.5.1 Data Configuration at the MSOFTX3000 Side
Related Commands
The configuration involves the following commands: ADD OFC, MOD OFC, SET OFI, ADD CODECCFG, LST CODECCFG, and MOD CODECCFG. The meanings of the parameters for the ADD and SET commands are explained below. For information about other commands, refer to the online help. ADD OFC BICC support TrFO This parameter is valid only when the Signaling type is one of the following: BICC over MTP3/M3UA_272, BICC over MTP3B, BICC over SCTP and BICC over M3UA_4096. It is one of the parameters used when the MSOFTX3000 interworks with the peer office. It specifies whether the office in the current office direction supports Transcoder Free Operation (TrFO). TrFO is a codec negotiation mechanism provided by the network. TrFO implements voice codec negotiation by means of out-of-band signaling transcoder control. This improves voice quality and saves bandwidth without using any codec. TrFO differs from TFO in that: if negotiation is successful, no codec is used at all in TrFO; while in TFO, though codec is not used, the codec unit continues to work to monitor TFO information in the voice channel. As such, no resources are saved during coding and decoding. BICC support red This parameter is valid only when the Signaling type is one of the following: BICC over MTP3/M3UA_272, BICC over MTP3B, BICC over SCTP and BICC over M3UA_4096.

HUAWEI MSOFTX3000 Feature Description

It is one of the parameters used when the MSOFTX3000 interworks with the peer office. It specifies whether the office in the current office direction supports data redundancy. Data redundancy is designed to solve the packet loss problem in data transmission. The data redundancy improves the quality of data transmission and reduces or avoids service failure due to poor data transmission quality. SET OFI Support FAX detection This parameter specifies whether the local MSOFTX3000 supports fax detection. The MOSFTX3000 notifies the MGW to check the fax event. The MGW then reports the checking events such as fax tone and fax status to the MOSFTX3000, which then handles the event according to the report. Note that if the Special attributes for the gateway is set to No fax, the call may fail. Support 2198 redundancy This parameter specifies whether the local MSOFTX3000 supports 2198 redundancy. This function is supported by default. If you choose Support, configure the 2198 redundancy parameters. In implementing this function, the MSOFTX3000 delivers the 2198 redundancy parameters to the MGW during a call. 2198 data redundancy is designed to solve the packet loss problem in data transmission. The 2198 data redundancy improves the quality of data transmission and reduces or avoids service failure due to poor data transmission quality. 2198 redundancy level As one of the parameters for 2198 data redundancy, this parameter is valid only when Support 2198 redundancy is set to Support. The parameter is used to specify the 2198 redundancy level, which is 1 by default. 2198 redundancy payload type value As one of the parameters for 2198 data redundancy, this parameter is valid only when Support 2198 redundancy is set to Support. The parameter is used to specify the 2198 redundancy payload type value, which ranges from 96 to 127 and defaults to 97. 2198 redundancy codec type This parameter is valid only when Support 2198 redundancy is set to Support. It is used to specify the codec type for 2198 redundancy, either G.711u or G.711a. The default is G.711a. ADD CODECCFG Codec ID This parameter defines a codec ID in the configuration database of the MSOFTX3000. The ID ranges from 0 to 254. PAYLOAD TYPE It is a parameter of the H248 signaling used when the MSOFTX3000 interacts with the MGW. The default value is 96.

Table 28-1 lists the function code. Table 28-1 Function code Function Name Dual-homing VDB dynamic data backup Function Code WMFD-160500 WMFD-164400

28.1.2 Function Definition


The VDB dynamic backup indicates that the VLR of the active MSC server backs up subscriber data in the VDB to the VDB of the standby MSC server through M3UA links in real time in the dual-homing networking environment. After the active MSC server fails and the standby MSC server takes over the service of the active MSC server, the backed up subscriber data can be used directly. In this case, the impact of automatic recovery of subscriber data on the A/IU/C/D interface can be avoided effectively. Table 28-2 lists concepts related to this feature. Table 28-2 Concepts related to VDB dynamic data backup Concept Dual-homing Description In the networking architecture (control is separated from bearer) of R4, an MGW belongs to two MSC servers. Normally, the MGW is only registered in one MSC server. When the MSC server fails, the MGW can be registered in another MSC server and continues to provide services for subscribers managed by the MGW. The MSC server is applied in the networking architecture of R4, and the MSOFTX3000 serves as the MSC server in the application. A virtual server is also called a virtual node. It is put forward to realize the N + 1 backup mode of the MSC server (virtual Server in short). As for this mode, one server (the standby MSC server) in N + 1 mode is divided into N + 1 MSC servers logically and the MSC servers are marked through indexes. Server0 indicates the node fixedly, and other virtual Servers are disaster recovery systems of other N servers respectively. When the system is normal, the active MSC server, in contrast to disaster recovery MSC servers, processes services on the network. Also called disaster recovery MSC server, a standby MSC server is used to provide data and service backup for the active MSC server.

28.1.3 System Specification


Item Backup capacity Specification To ensure the backup capacity of a standby MSC server, the data of backup subscribers is stored by means of compression in the standby server. Each standby MSC server can store the data of 2,000,000 backup subscribers, and the whole office supports 20,000,000 backup subscribers. The VDB supports up to 200,000 subscribers. Therefore, each VDB decompresses only 200,000 subscribers and deletes excessive subscribers and subscribers of other offices. Each MSC server supports backup of 20,000,000 subscribers and takes over the service of backup subscribers in an office only.

28.1.4 Service Benefits

28.1.6 Use Restriction


The VDB dynamic data backup function must be used with the dual-homing function in the dual-homing networking environment. It supports 1+1 mutual-aid networking, 1+1 backup networking, N+1 backup networking, and N+1 mutual-aid networking. The VDB dynamic data backup function supports switchback of subscriber data from the standby server to the original active server during dual-homing changeback. However, changeback of data in the VDB must be performed manually. For N+1 backup networking or N+1 mutual-aid networking, the standby MSC server can back up all subscriber data in the active MSC server simultaneously. When dual-homing switchover occurs, however, only the subscriber data in one active server is reserved and the

28.3.2 Internal System Processing


The role that MSC/VLR plays varies for different dual-homing networking. VDB dynamic backup distinguishes different dual-homing roles. By the four dual-homing networking schemes, that is, 1 + 1 mutual-aid, 1 + 1 backup, N + 1 mutual-aid, and N + 1 backup, MSC servers can be classified into three roles: active MSC server, standby MSC server, and mutualaid MSC server. VDB dynamic data backup supports the above four networking schemes. Since 1 + 1 mutualaid is a special instance of N + 1 mutual-aid and 1 + 1 backup is a special instance of N + 1 backup, for the sake of simplicity, the following section analyzes two commonly used networking schemes: 1 + 1 mutual-aid model and N+1 backup model. 1+1 mutual-aid networking means dual-homing networking at MSC server layer using two MSOFTX3000s as mutual-aid, that is, each of the two MSOFTX3000s is an active MSC server and is at the same time a standby MSC server for the other MSOFTX3000. The typical networking diagram is shown in Figure 28-1. For the networking, you must configure one or two dual-homing backup link(s) between two servers in order to provide mutual data backup between two mutual-aid MSC servers.

N+1 backup networking means dual-homing networking at the MSC server layer using N+1 MSOFTX3000s, N of which are active and the other one is standby for these N MSOFTX3000s. The typical networking diagram is shown in Figure 28-2. In this networking scheme, each active MSC server VLR must back up user data to the standby MSC server and the standby MSC server must back up user data back to the said active MSC server after it takes over the service. For this purpose, each MSC server and the standby MSC server shall have one or two dual-homing backup link(s).

Dual-homing Active MSC Server


The active MSC server refers to the one that in normal situations takes up services in dualhoming networking. MSC server1 in Figure 28-1 and MSC server1 and MSC server3 in Figure 28-2 are called active MSC server. Because the active MSC server only processes services and does not receive backup data from other servers, all resources in VDB are used by the subscribers who are served by the active MSC server. Assume that each module of an active MSC server supports 200 thousand subscribers, and then the whole office supports 1.8 million subscribers. When subscription information of the active MSC server changes or supplementary service status changes, the active MSC server first uses high-priority backup task to inform the standby MSC server of the information change (by using Dirty flag), and then in the later backup process uses normal backup task to back up the subscriber information or supplementary services to the standby MSC server. By using high-priority backup task, the standby MSC server can sense the subscriber data change in the active MSC server, thus ensuring reliability of the backup data. The subscription information backup is shown in Figure 28-3. Figure 28-3 Block diagram of dual-homing backup
Active MSC server Standby MSC server

1 2 3 4

The subscription flow is as follows: 1. 2. 3. The active MSC server sends the Dirty flag to the standby MSC server. The standby MSC server acknowledges receipt. Upon receiving the acknowledgement, the active MSC server packs the subscription information, compresses it, and sends it to the backup server.

The backup server saves the subscriber data and acknowledges backup success.

Change of non-subscription data, such as location information, handset on/off status, and authentication data are backed up through normal backup task, where data change is directly sent to the backup server. VDB dynamic backup is built on M3UA links, which ensures backup reliability. Each backup message is confirmed by acknowledgement. If active server fails to receive backup success message from standby server, it repeats the backup task every 100s. If it still fails after five repeats, it sends backup failure alarm.

Dual-homing Standby MSC Server


The standby MSC server refers to the one that plays backup role in the 1+1 active/standby networking or N+1 active/standby networking. MSC server2 in both Figure 28-1 and Figure 28-2 is the standby MSC server. When the standby MSC server does not take over services of other offices, the local office does not process any service and all of its resources are idle. Therefore these resources can be used to save backup subscriber information. To ensure backup capacity of the backup server, the standby MSC server saves compressed subscriber data. Each module can save backup data for 2 million subscribers and the office supports 20 million subscribers. After the standby server takes over the service, subscriber data cannot be compressed. The subscriber data of the corresponding active MSC server must be decompressed. Because a VDB module supports maximum 200 thousand subscribers, each module can only decompress 100 thousand subscribers and deletes other subscribers and subscribers of other active servers. That is, each MSC server supports backup of 20 thousand subscribers but can only take over subscribers of one active server.

Dual-Homing Mutual-Aid MSC Server


Apart from processing its own services, a mutual-aid MSC server also works as a standby server for other MSC servers and is ready to take over their services at any time. In VDB dynamic data backup, mutual-aid MSC servers save not only their own subscriber data, but also the subscriber data that have been backed up from other MSC servers. When the other MSC server is down, the normal server must activate its service data configured locally. Therefore this scheme requires that the two mutual-aid MSC servers shall process subscribers no more than 1.8 million. In mutual-aid MSC servers, VDB backup data supports two storage formats: Real-time initialized or non-real-time initialized. In real-time initialized format, the MSC server decompresses and saves the backup data from the mutual-aid MSC server. In this mode, the backup data occupy resources, even the server does not take over the services of the mutual-aid MSC server. The resources occupied by backup subscribers do not affect normal services, because the capacity of mutual-aid MSC servers is the sum of the capacity of two servers. In non-real-time initialized format, the mutual-aid MSC server saves backup subscriber data in compressed format. When the server takes over the services of the mutual-aid MSC server, the backup subscriber data is decompressed and is stored in ordinary subscriber data space. This is the same as the processing in the standby MSC server. Subscriber data in non-real-time initialized format do not occupy any resource when the local office does not take over the services of the MSC server.

28.4 Service Flow


28.4.1 Subscriber Data Backup FLow
Each time subscriber information, supplementary service status, location information, and handset on/off status change or subscriber authentication set is updated, a backup operation is initiated. To avoid impact on normal traffic, VDB backup is non-real-time. When subscriber data changes, only a backup task is registered and then the server smoothly processes the backup task of each subscriber. Depending on the feature of subscriber data, the backup tasks are marked "Dirty" backup task, complete backup task, location information backup task, status information backup task, subscriber authentication set backup task, and synchronized deletion task. Figure 28-4 registers a backup task for location update flow. Figure 28-4 Registering a backup task for location update

HUAWEI MSOFTX3000 Feature Description

28 VDB Dynamic Data Backup

1.

When HLR goes to front VLR to cancel location registration, if front MSC/VLR supports VDB dynamic backup, then the front VLR registers synchronized deletion task, deleting the backup data in its standby MSC server. When HLR inserts subscription data, VLR will register two backup tasks: "Dirty" backup task and complete backup task. "Dirty" backup is similar to real-time backup; therefore, when subscriber data changes, the standby MSC server can sense and record the change of subscriber data at once.

2.

"Dirty" Backup Flow


When subscriber location is inserted into subscription information or when subscription data changes, VLR first registers the Dirty flag and informs the standby MSC server (or mutual-aid MSC server) of the subscriber data change in real time. Figure 28-5 "Dirty" backup flow
Active MSC server Standby MSC server

DHBKP_DIRTY_REQ

DHBKP_DIRTY_RSP

The "dirty" backup flow is described as follows: 1. 2. The active MSC server sends a DHBKP_DIRTY_REQ message to the standby MSC server according to the registered task. Upon receiving the DHBKP_DIRTY_REQ, standby MSC server sets subscriber data to HLR_Unconfirmed and returns a DHBKP_DIRTY_RSP message, indicating backup success. Upon receiving the DHBKP_DIRTY_RSP, the active MSC server completes the "dirty" backup and continues to other backup tasks of the subscriber.

3.

Complete Backup Flow


When subscriber location update is inserted into subscription information, subscription information changes, or subscriber supplementary service status changes, VLR registers complete backup flow. Only when the Dirty flag backup flows are processed, will a complete backup flow be processed. Because complete backup message contains all backup information of that subscriber, it requires no other backup flows, unless other backup information changes.

The complete backup flow is described as follows: 1. The active MSC server packs and compresses subscriber data according to pre-set data dictionary and sends the data packet to the standby MSC server through the DHBKP_ALL_DATA_REQ message. Upon receiving the backup message packet, the standby MSC server decompresses the data packet according to the data dictionary and saves the data, setting subscriber data to HLR_Confirmed and sending response, indicating backup success. (In the scenario of non-real-time initialization, subscriber data is not decompressed immediately but waits until services are taken over.) Upon receiving the response message, the active MSC server finishes complete backup and continues to process other backup tasks of the subscriber.
Data dictionary is configured through ADD/MOD/RMV/LST USRDD and SET USRDDVER. These two commands are implicit commands. Generally modifying data dictionary gives rise to fatal disaster and is not allowed. If you want to customize the backup through data dictionary, contact Huawei engineers.

Flow of Authentication Data Backup


When subscriber authentication set is updated, if the configuration supports authentication set backup, the VDB registers an authentication data backup task. Whether authentication set backup is supported is configured in the Dual Home Backup Configuration table. Figure 28-9 Flow of authentication data backup

Upon receiving the backup message, the standby MSC server updates the subscribers authentication data and sends response message, indicating backup success. Upon receiving the response message, the active MSC server completes authentication data backup and continues to process other backup tasks of the subscriber.

Flow of Synchronous Deleting Backup Data


When the subscriber data of the active MSC server is deleted, the corresponding backup data must be deleted synchronously. The scenarios when the active MSC server deletes subscriber data include the following: CANCEL LOCATION flow. Using DEL MS, DEL HLRMS, and DEL GRPMS commands to delete VDB subscribers. Subscriber is deleted for not taking part in any activities for a long time.

Upon receiving the DHBKP_DELETE_SUB_RSP, the active MSC server stops processing of the synchronous deletion task.

28.4.2 Processing of Aging upon Dual-Homing Switchover


Taking into account the fact that during the backup process there is no true real-time backup (such as SCTP link disconnect and active MSC servers sudden failure, where some of the data cannot be backed up timely to the standby MSC server), consistency between subscriber data in the standby MSC server and those in the HLR cannot be fully guaranteed. After dualhoming switchover occurs, you can set subscriber data un-reliability in batches to gradually obtain all subscriber data from HLR, so that the subscriber data between standby MSC server and HLR are consistent. This process is called aging processing. The configuration of backup subscriber aging consists of Backup user aging time(min) and Max aging percent. These two parameters are configured in Dual Home Backup Configuration table. Backup user aging time(min) refers to the time lapse between dualhoming switchover and beginning of aging processing; Max aging percent means that after un-reliable subscribers in VDB reach this percent, aging processing of the backup subscribers is suspended, until lower than this percentage.

28.4.3 MT Flow Optimization upon Dual-Homing Switchover


When a subscriber switches off the phone before dual-homing switchover and switches on the phone during the switchover, if the ON flag is not backed up to the standby MSC server and if the terminal do not repeat location update, the subscriber cannot be called for certain time (the subscriber cannot originate a call in one periodic location update period). Therefore we propose to optimize the MT flow as follows: After dual-homing switchover occurs, the standby MSC server or mutual-aid MSC server takes over the services. In all MT

HUAWEI MSOFTX3000 Feature Description

flows, if the called party is a backup subscriber and switches off the phone, paging is delivered. If paging fails, it is not regarded as unavailable but is processed as OFF status. For example, announcement is played as in power-off status; PRN pre-paging replies "HLR subscriber is turned off"; for short messages the system prompts that the handset of the subscriber is powered off. Next time when the subscriber is called, no more paging is made. Bit 0 of software parameter 1151 controls MT flow optimization. When bit 0 of the software parameter is set to "1", only one global paging is delivered to the backup subscriber. When bit 0 of the software parameter is set to "0", subscriber paging is processed according to the original paging control table. By default, bit 0 of the software parameter is set to "0".

29.1 Service Description


29.1.1 Function Code
The function code is listed in Table 29-1. Table 29-1 Function code Name Multi-area network role-based and domain-based management feature Code WMFD-122400

29.1.2 Definition
The role-based and domain-based management feature assigns different operation authority to different operators through domains, hence controlling the operator's operations on the system resources (for example, running ADD/MOD/RMV/LST). The concepts related to the role-based and domain-based management feature are resources, domains, operators, and relationship between domain and resource.
The role-based and domain-based feature is implemented to meet the requirement of multi-area network management. Therefore, the feature is called multi-area network role-based and domain-based management.

Resources
Resources are physical entities or logical entities used by the system, such as office directions, MSC, signaling points, office direction number, route numbers, number segments, trunk circuits, and MGW. Resources are classified into private domain resources, non-domain resources, and public domain resources, as listed in Table 29-2. Table 29-2 Classification of resources Private Domain Resources Call source code Media gateway configuration Media gateway maintenance H248 link configuration H248 link maintenance Inter-gateway TDM circuit connection Inter-gateway TDM circuit Non-Domain Resources TST NMA All commands of BAM (including but not limited to alarm management, performance measurement, and configuration rollback).

neither the public domain nor a private domain. The instance cannot belong to multiple domains. A domain is classified into the following: Public domain The public domain exists by default, and its corresponding domain index is 0 and domain name is "PUBLIC". The public domain cannot be added, deleted, or modified. Resources without requirement for authority-base domain-based management belong to the public domain by default. Private domain A private domain is added by administrators on the M2000. The private domain is numbered from 1. ADD/RMV/MOD/LST commands are available to operators.

Operators
The operators of the MSOFTX3000 are classified into the following: Administrator Operator User Guest Custom The domain users of the M2000 are classified into the following: Administrator Operator Guest You can add a local operator on the MSOFTX3000 LMT by running ADD OP, and can also add a domain operator on the M2000 client. On the M2000 client, you can assign domains to which each operator belongs. An operator can belong to the public domain or a private domain. An operator belongs to only one domain and a domain can have multiple operators. The domain is an attribute of the operators. You can modify the domain attributes of the operators. Operators without a specified domain belong to the public domain by default. An operator's operation authority on a domain is classified into full control and read-only. Full control includes modify and read rights. Modify means to modify static attributes and dynamic attributes. Modifying static attributes means to add, delete, and modify static data. Modifying dynamic attributes refers to maintenance operations that change host status, such as activating, deactivating, and blocking. Read-only right includes query (LST and DSP operations) and reference.
You can add a domain before adding an operator, or add an operator before adding a domain. When no domain is specified for a new operator, that operator belongs to the public domain by default.

Relationship Between Domains, Resources and Operators


The relationship between resources and domains are described as follows: An operator who has proper authority can set domain attributes for a resource.

29 Multi-Area Network Role-Based and Domain-Based Management Feature

HUAWEI MSOFTX3000 Feature Description

If an operator has no authority to specify the domain attributes of a resource, the resource added by the operator automatically belongs to the domain of the operator. In principle, public domain operators have full control authority on global resources including public domain resources and private domain resources. Their operations on the resources only depend on the command execution authority of the operators (existing command group authority of the operators). Private domain operators have read-only authority on public domain resources and other private domain resources, and have full control authority on resources in the domain to which the operators belong. A super administrator belongs to the public domain by default. You are not allowed to assign a super administrator to a private domain. The relationship between domains and resources is shown in Figure 29-1. Figure 29-1 Relationship between domains and resources

Table 29-3 Benefits Beneficiary Carrier Description Role-based and domain-based management provides integrated maintenance management for carriers. It is applicable to provincial level maintenance center or higher maintenance center for their uniform scheduling and uniform configuration of the resources. Role-based and domain-based management provides control of operator authority, control of resources, enhances system reliability and security from the M2000. When a new operator account is added on the M2000, the domain of that account can be specified. The operations available to that login operator are strictly controlled within the specified domain. The operator cannot modify or delete resources in other domains. The operator can only reference or query. Operators in public domain can perform adding, deleting, modifying, and querying operations. This means that when allocating authority and domain from the M2000 to operators, you must be careful when assigning public domain attribute. Subscriber None.

29 Multi-Area Network Role-Based and Domain-Based Management Feature

HUAWEI MSOFTX3000 Feature Description

"" indicates the NE is involved in this function.

29.2.2 Requirements for License


Role-based and domain-based management feature is a basic feature of Huawei GSM/UMTS core network. This feature does not require a license.

29.2.3 Applicable Versions


The versions of Huawei UMTS CS products applicable to role-based and domain-based management feature are listed in Table 29-5. Table 29-5 Versions applicable to role-based and domain-based management feature Product MSC server MSOFTX3000 Applicable Version V100R005C10

29.2.4 Others
None.

29.3 Working Principle


29.3.1 Functions of NEs
The M2000 and MSOFTX3000 provide the following functions: M2000 administrators perform role-based and domain-based management and assign operators to domains on the M2000 client. The administrators can add, delete, modify, and query domains through the menu of the M2000 client. The administrators can assign an operator to a domain. The administrators can also modify the domain to which the operator belongs. On the MSOFTX3000, you cannot add, delete, or modify domains or specify an operator's domain information. However, a domain operator can query the domain information by running LST DOMAIN. On the MSOFTX3000, a domain operator cannot query the operator information by running LST OP. That is, when the operator runs LST OP, the MSOFTX3000 prompts operation failure. On the MSOFTX3000, local operators can query operator information by running LST OP. However, the query result is local operator information.

29.3.2 System Internal Processing


Multi-area network role-based and domain-based management is implemented in the network management system (NMS). Its basic idea is that the NMS assigns specified domain authority to the operators of each MSOFTX3000. This facilitates resource management, such as office directions, MSC, and signaling points. In this way, the operators can operate only resources within their own domain.

HUAWEI MSOFTX3000 Feature Description

29 Multi-Area Network Role-Based and Domain-Based Management Feature

Resources are used in the principle of "Creator owns". The ownership and operation authority of a resource are marked by domain. The resources created by an operator belong to the domain of that operator. All operations on resources must pass the match check between the domain authority of the operator and the domain of the resource. If the operator has no authority to access the domain, the operation cannot proceed.

29.3.3 External Interfaces


None.

29 Multi-Area Network Role-Based and Domain-Based Management Feature

HUAWEI MSOFTX3000 Feature Description

1.

On the M2000 client, a user runs a domain operation command such as ADD/RMV/MOD/LST. The domain information is saved in the BAM database, not in the host. The command execution result is returned. On the M2000 client, the user adds an operator, and specifies user groups, NE users, rights, NEs, rules, and domains for the operator. The command execution result is returned. The user logs in to the MSOFTX3000 LMT as the domain operator. On the MSOFTX3000, the user can run a configuration command or a maintenance command. The MSOFTX3000 checks whether the domain user that runs a MOD or RMV command has authority to perform operations on the domain. For public domain resources, the BAM checks whether the operator that runs a MOD or RMV command belongs to a private domain. If yes, the MSOFTX3000 does not run the command. For private domain resources, the MSOFTX3000 checks whether the operator belongs to the public domain. If yes, the MSOFTX3000 runs the command. If the operator belongs to a private domain, the MSOFTX3000 checks whether the domain to which the operator belongs is the same as the domain to which the resources belong. If the domain is the same, the MSOFTX3000 runs the command; otherwise, the MSOFTX3000 does not run the command.
The system does not perform domain authority matching check for commands such as ADD.

30.3 Working Principle


30.3.1 Functions of the NEs
This section describes the functions implemented by the NEs. MSC The Mobile SoftSwitch Center (MSC) transfers the short message, which is sent from the mobile station (MS) through the Radio Access Network (RAN) subsystem, to the corresponding short message center (SMC). If the MSC is configured with the alarm for malicious short messages function, it distinguishes the malicious short messages through alarms when the number of short messages sent by the subscriber exceeds the preset threshold. When the MSC receives a short message delivered by the SMC, it queries the related route information and subscriber information and delivers the information to the subscriber through the RAN subsystem. VLR The visitor location register (VLR) performs the authentication management function before the SMC sends a short message to the subscriber. It also provides the route information for the MSC when the SMC delivers a short message. HLR The home location register (HLR) provides the SMC with the information of the MSC where the subscriber visits upon receiving the request from the SMC before a short message delivery. It also provides the authentication vector set for the MSC when the VLR does not store the authentication vector set if the authentication is required. SMC The SMC stores and transfers the short messages.

30.3.2 Internal Processing of the System


The alarm for malicious short messages function is implemented in the short message sending process. Figure 30-1 shows the processing of the NEs for the alarm for malicious short messages function.

30 Alarm for Malicious Short Messages

Figure 30-1 Processing of the NEs for the alarm for malicious short messages service

The process is as follows: 1. 2. 3. Subscriber A sends a short message to the RAN. The RAN sends the short message to the MSC/VLR through the A/Iu interface. The MSC/VLR checks whether to enable the alarm for malicious short messages function. If the function is disabled, the original short message sending process proceeds. If the function is enabled, the process proceeds with 4. 4. The MSC/VLR checks whether the subscriber subscribe the malicious short messages function. (For details, refer to 30.4 "Service Flow.") If the subscriber sends malicious short messages, the MSC/VLR generates the alarm and reports it to the alarm console. The short message sending process proceeds.

30.5 Data Configuration


30.5.1 Overview
Data must be configured only on the MSOFTX3000 for the alarm for malicious short message function.

30.5.2 Data Configuration at the MSOFTX3000 Side


On the MSOFTX3000, only the VLR Configuration Data table must be modified. Table 305 lists the related commands. Table 30-5 Commands involved in the alarm for malicious short messages No. 1 2 Action Run the command ADD VLRCFG to add the configuration of VLR (if there is no data for the configuration of VLR). Run the command MOD VLRCFG to modify the configuration of VLR. Turn on or turn off the switch of the alarm for malicious short messages and set statistical duration for originating short messages and the alarm threshold for malicious short messages. Run the command LST VLRCFG to query the setting of the current alarm for malicious short messages.

Configure the following parameters for the VLR Configuration Data table: Hostility short message alarm switch It is the switch of the alarm for malicious short messages. This parameter is used to set whether the office supports the alarm for malicious short messages. When the switch is off, the office does not support this function. When the switch is on, the VLR scans all subscribers in the office and resets alarm data for each subscriber. The data of malicious short message alarm includes the time when the first short message is originated, number of accumulated originating short messages and the alarm flag for malicious short messages. When resetting data of malicious short message alarm, the system sets the time when the first short message is originated to "0", number of originating short messages to "0" and the alarm flag for malicious short messages to "no alarm".

30 Alarm for Malicious Short Messages

HUAWEI MSOFTX3000 Feature Description

It specifies the statistical duration of originated short messages. This parameter is used to set the length of the time required by the system for collecting statistics of originating short messages. The start time is the time when the first short message is originated, and the end time is the time when the current short message is sent. After receiving the statistics sent from the MSOFTX3000, the VLR makes the following judgment: If the difference between the end time and the start time is less than the value of this parameter, the VLR checks whether the number of accumulated short messages exceeds the alarm threshold of malicious short message. If not, the VLR does not send an alarm and continues to count short messages. If yes, the VLR checks whether the alarm for malicious short messages is sent for the subscriber. If not, the VLR sends an alarm. Otherwise, the VLR continues to count short messages instead of sending the alarm. If the difference between the end time and the start time is greater than the value of this parameter, the system restarts to count the short messages. Hostility short message alarm threshold It specifies the alarm threshold of malicious short messages. This parameter is used to set the number of short messages that the subscriber is allowed to originate within the statistical duration of originated short messages. If the number of accumulated short messages sent by a subscriber exceeds the preset alarm threshold and the system does not send an alarm for malicious short messages, the system sends an alarm for malicious short messages.

30.5.3 Data Configuration at the UMG8900 Side


For this feature, no data need be configured on the UMG8900.

30.5.4 Data Configuration Examples


Scenario Description
Enable this function in the local office and set the parameter Original short message statistic timer(sec) to 3600 and Hostility short message alarm threshold to 1000. If a subscriber sends more than 1000 short messages within 3600 seconds and the system does not send any alarm for malicious short message for the subscriber, the alarm for malicious short message appears on the alarm system.

Configuration Scripts
Step 1 Add the configuration of VLR. Description Script Remarks Add the configuration of VLR. Set the maximum number of subscribers to 50000 and the mobile country code (MCC) to 460. ADD VLRCFG: MAXUSR=50000, MCC=K'460; The maximum number of subscribers and the MCC are mandatory for configuration of VLR. If there is no special requirement, use default values for other parameters. This step is optional. If the system has executed this step (check through the command LST VLRCFG), execute step 2 directly.

Step 2 Modify the configuration of VLR and enable the local office to support this feature by setting.

HUAWEI MSOFTX3000 Feature Description

31.1 Service Description


31.1.1 Function Code
Function Name Call simulation Function Code WMFD-122100

31.1.2 Definition
Call simulation refers to the process in which the operator delivers a command to the back administration module (BAM) through the GUI interface to start the call simulation. After the BAM responds to the MML command, the table querying process of a specified subscriber call or trunk call is reported to the local maintenance terminal (LMT) in the form of message (the tables queried and the query results are included in the message). In this way, the data flow of the data tables can be monitored to facilitate data analysis for the data check after the upgrade or for later maintenance. The MSOFTX3000 supports the call simulation, thus the maintainability of the MSOFTX3000 is improved and the maintenance cost and workload is reduced. The MSOFTX3000 supports the following technical features: Mobile originated call to local mobile subscriber Outgoing call of the local mobile subscriber Incoming trunk call The trunk type is Bearer Independent Call Control (BICC) or Integrated Services Digital Network User Part (ISUP). Trunk call transit The trunk type is BICC or ISUP. Inserting, deleting, and querying mobile subscriber data during the call simulation Querying logs of the call simulation Saving trace messages of the call simulation Table 31-1 lists the definitions of the functions. Table 31-1 Definitions of the functions Function Name Call simulation from interface A/Iu to the trunk BICC/ISUP Call simulation from the trunk BICC/ISUP to interface A/Iu Definition The call simulation is originated by interface A/Iu to the trunk BICC or ISUP. The call simulation is originated by the trunk BICC or ISUP to interface A/Iu.

31 Call Simulation

Function Name Call simulation from interface A/Iu to interface A/Iu Call simulation from the trunk BICC/ISUP to the trunk BICC/ISUP

Definition The call simulation is originated by interface A/Iu to interface A/Iu. The call simulation is originated by the trunk BICC/ISUP to the trunk BICC/ISUP.

31.1.3 System Specifications


Table 31-2 lists the system specifications of the call simulation. Table 31-2 System specifications of the call simulation Item Number of the call simulations triggered Number of concurrent call simulations (the number of call simulations during a specific time period) Specification The number of the triggered call simulations is recorded through BAM log output. In this way, the impact of the call simulation on the traffic statistic and the put-through rate is reflected. BAM: For all the clients, the maximum number of concurrent call simulations allowed is 64. That is, the BAM can support a maximum of 64 clients to perform call simulation at the same time. Host: A subscriber (authentic subscriber or virtual subscriber) can originates only one call simulation at one time. That is, if a subscriber originates a call simulation, the local client or other clients cannot use the same subscriber to originate another call simulation before the previous call simulation is terminated.
NOTE Virtual subscribers are unreal subscribers registered in the VDB during the call simulation.

Message output of the call simulation Call simulation announcement Processing of circuit contention at the trunk side

As the messages are based on the ASN.1 translation mode, they support only English. The call control block (CCB) only outputs the announcement record, no announcement is played. If circuit contention occurs at the trunk side, the call simulation fails.

HUAWEI MSOFTX3000 Feature Description

Item Services not supported by call simulation

Specification Services not supported by call simulation are as follows: Data services Handover/Switchover Lawful interception Intelligent (IN) service is not supported if call simulation operations are performed by the subscriber. (It is supported when the caller is an authentic subscriber.) Forwarding services during and after paging Call fail short message indication is not supported if the call simulation fails.

Conflict between call simulation and actual call Requirements for the caller originating the call simulation

For the call simulation at the trunk side, if a call simulation is ongoing, and if a normal incoming call occupies the circuit, the call simulation is disconnected to guarantee the normal call. For a call simulation originated by interface A or interface Iu, the caller can be an authentic subscriber or a simulation subscriber, but the callee must be an authentic subscriber. Therefore, if the call simulation is originated by interface A or interface Iu, the caller's number must be registered in the HLR; if the call simulation is originated by ISUP or BICC, no such requirement is set on the caller.

31.1.4 Benefits
Beneficiary Carrier Description During the call simulation, the table querying information, key information (including software parameters), and the call detailed records (CDRs) are reported to messages. By analyzing the messages, the carrier can locate and rectify the fault easily, thus the troubleshooting process is sped up and the maintainability of the system is enhanced. None.

HUAWEI MSOFTX3000 Feature Description

command INS MS. The VLR stores the virtual subscribers based on the subscriber data sent from the BAM. A VDB can store a maximum of 20 virtual subscribers. Modifying the subscriber data by using the maintenance command MOD MS After receiving the command MOD MS, the VDB searches and modifies the data of the virtual subscriber based on the MSISDN of the virtual subscriber. The data of the virtual subscriber includes:

MSC number VLR number GCI/SAI number Caller category Roaming subscriber type

Querying virtual subscribers in the VDB by using the maintenance command DSP MS You can display all the virtual subscribers in a single VDB by using DSP MS. The message contains the IMSIs and MSISDNs of all the virtual subscribers.

If you select query according to the module number, enter the module number. The system queries the virtual subscribers based on the module number entered. If you select query according to the location, enter the location information. The system queries the virtual subscribers based on the location information entered.

Querying the basic information of virtual subscribers by using the maintenance command DSP USRINF You can query the basic information of a virtual subscriber by using this command. When a call simulation is triggered, the BAM invokes the maintenance command DSP USRINF to query the virtual subscriber. If the virtual subscriber is busy, the system terminates the call simulation. Deleting virtual subscribers by using the maintenance command DEL MS You can delete a virtual subscriber from the local VLR by using this command. Storing call simulation logs The call simulation logs are stored in the BAM installation directory \Msoftx3000\ RUNLOG\SimCall. A maximum of five log files can be stored in this directory. The maximum size of the log file is 2 MB, and the file name is from Simullation0.txt to Simullation4.txt. The contents of the log files are as follows: Information of successful/failed trigger of the call simulation Information of successful/failed call simulation The contents of the logs are associated to HANDLE through the workstation number. The workstation number is used to identify the maintenance terminal, and HANDLE is the number of the triggering window of the call simulation. Figure 31-1 shows an example of the BAM log.

Functions of the MSC


During a call simulation, the MSC provides the following functions: Processing the service access The call simulation ignores the service access process, including the CHECK IMEI operation. As a result, the CHECK IMEI function fails during the call simulation. After receiving the call management (CM) service access request sent from the mobility management (MM), the MAP identifies that the call is a call simulation and obtains directly the information of the access subscriber without performing the following operations:

Authentication Encryption CHECK IMEI TMSI re-allocation

Processing the callee access Call fail short message indication is not triggered if the call simulation fails. Processing of an authentic subscriber during a call simulation The originator of the caller can be an authentic subscriber or a virtual subscriber. In the case of the authentic subscriber, the call simulation cannot affect the authentic subscriber. That is, when an authentic subscriber is busy (for example, the authentic subscriber is making a call), the call simulation fails. Exporting message tracing results and messages During a call simulation, the host performs message trace to query related tables and outputs messages containing the table querying results.

31 Call Simulation

HUAWEI MSOFTX3000 Feature Description

Functions of Other NEs


The call simulation also requires the coordination of other NEs. The functions of other NEs are as follows: The media gateway (MGW) must be online. During the call simulation, by querying the Trunk Group Info table, the system outputs a message containing the information of the trunk group where the MGW is located. The message can be used to analyze the data configuration. For the authentic subscriber subscribing to the IN service, the call simulation also supports the following IN call modes:

Calling IN mode Called IN mode Calling and called IN mode:

In the above three modes, the service control point (SCP) must online. When the subscriber is an authentic subscriber during a call simulation, the HLR must be online for the location update of the authentic subscriber.

31.3.2 Internal Processing of the System


The call simulation is performed by simulating the call process for a call of an authentic subscriber. For the MSOFTX3000, the HLR, MGW, SCP and other related NEs must be online. The call process is as follows: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. The user enters the parameter on the GUI to start the call simulation. The BAM checks the module number and the number of concurrent call simulations. The host checks the key parameters and the current status of the subscriber. After the check, the BAM sends a triggering message to the host to originate a local originated or trunk incoming call simulation. After the call is originated, the modules transfer the call simulation identifiers and outputs related message by implementing the trace function. The LMT is traced, and the LMT invokes the DLL files generated by using the ASN.1 provided by the host service to obtain the translated messages for the user. As the messages of the call simulation are not directed out of the local office or sent to the access side, the access messages and the messages out of and into the trunk are implemented in the bouncing mode. The bouncing mechanism is based on the basic voice call. After the call simulation is put through, the CDRs and the BILL table querying information can be exported.

The process of the call simulation requires the coordination of the LMT, BAM, host trace, and the service module.

31.4 Service Flow


31.4.1 Selection of LAI/GCI and Circuits
After the call simulation is started, the BAM sends a call simulation request to the host. On receiving the request, the host selects the location area circuit based on the input conditions of subscribers.

31 Call Simulation

Call Simulation Originated From A Interface or Iu Interface


If the call simulation is originated from interface A or Iu, the MSOFTX3000 acts as follows: If the enter GCI/SAI are valid, the MSOFTX3000 queries the LAI Information table based on the query conditions. If the specified conditions are invalid, the MSOFTX3000 returns information indicating startup failure of call simulation. If no query condition is specified, the MSOFTX3000 queries the LAI Information table and returns a valid GCI.

Call Simulation Originated From the ISUP Trunk


If the call simulation is originated from an ISUP trunk, the MSOFTX3000 acts as follows when the ISUP circuit is queried: If the specified trunk group name is valid, the MSOFTX3000 queries an idle circuit of trunk group based on the trunk group name to initiate a call. If the specified trunk group name is invalid, the MSOFTX300 returns call launch fail message, which indicates that the call simulation fails to be triggered. If the trunk group name is not specified, the MSOFTX300 queries the Trunk Circuit table and returns an idle circuit. If idle circuits cannot be found, the MSOFTX300 returns a call launch fail message indication.

Call Simulation Originated From the BICC Trunk


If the call simulation is originated from a BICC trunk, the MSOFTX3000 acts as follows when the BICC circuit is queried: If the specified office direction name is valid, the MSOFTX3000 queries the BICC Circuits table based on the office direction name and selects an idle circuit in that office direction to launch a call. If idle circuits cannot be found, the MSOFTX3000 returns a call launch fail message. If the specified office direction name is invalid, the MSOFTX3000 returns a call launch fail message, which indicates that the call simulation fails to be triggered. If the office direction name is not specified, the MSOFTX3000 queries the records in the BICC Circuits table one by one and tries to select an idle circuit. If no circuit is found, the MSOFTX3000 returns a call launch fail message.

31.4.2 Handling at the Trunk Side


The BICC trunk or ISUP trunk provides the interface, through which the BAM checks whether the trunk parameters are valid. For the ISUP trunk, the BAM queries the Trunk Group table through the interface and checks whether the trunk group name is configured. For the BICC trunk, the BAM queries the Office Direction table through the interface and checks whether the BICC office direction name is configured. After receiving the call simulation originated message from the BAM, the trunk side selects an idle circuit for the call simulation.

31.5 Data Configuration


31.5.1 Configuration Description
Call simulation requires the data configuration of various network elements (NEs) to support real calls. Before the call simulation, ensure that the virtual subscriber data exists in the local VLR and the callee must be a subscriber.

31.5.2 Data Configuration at the MSOFTX3000 Side


Call simulation requires a virtual subscriber to be registered in the local VLR on the basis of real data configuration. You can run INS MS to insert a virtual subscriber in the VLR of the local office to support corresponding call simulations.

31.5.3 Data Configuration at the UMG8900 Side


Call simulation requires the data configuration at the UMG8900 side to support real calls.

31.5.4 Data Configuration Example


Scenario Description
For the call simulation originated at the A or interface Iu, if the caller is a non-real subscriber, run INS MS to register a virtual subscriber in the local VLR. For the call simulation originated at the trunk BICC/ISUP side, the data configuration is the same as that of a real call.
If a virtual subscriber that meets requirement already exists in the local VLR, run DSP MS to query the user information and use the existing virtual subscriber for call simulation.

Configuration Scripts
The configuration of various scripts is as follows: Table 31-5 lists the script for registering virtual subscriber. Table 31-5 Script for registering virtual subscriber Description Script Explanation Register the virtual subscriber with IMSI "086013907885522" and MSISDN "13907885522". INS MS: IMSI="086013907885522", MSISDN="13907885522"; If one of the following situations occurs, registering virtual subscriber fails. The number of subscribers in the local VLR reaches the maximum. The number of virtual subscribers in the local VLR reaches the maximum 20. The virtual subscriber to be registered in the local VLR already exists.

Table 31-6 lists the script for changing the virtual subscriber data.

31.6.1 Creating a Call Simulation Task

In the operating network, call simulation at the caller side is performed on virtual subscribers to avoid the impact on the services of the online subscribers. The call simulation is originated at the A/Iu interface. To create a call simulation task, perform the following steps: Step 1 Run LST MDU to query the related module information. The number of the module where the WVDB board locates is obtained from the output result. The detailed output result is as shown in Figure 31-2.

The message output window will display the table query results during the call simulation and the result of the call simulation. Check the data configuration and location the problem according to the output table query result.
For the trunk BICC/ISUP incoming call simulation, the calling number can be any number. The called number, however, are different in different application scenarios. If the called side is a trunk, the called number consists of the correct call prefix + any number. If the called side is the A/Iu interface, the called number must be the number of a real subscriber. Run LST CNACLD to obtain the prefix.

31.6.2 Message Trace and Logs During the Call Simulation


Message trace and logs are generated during the call simulation, like during a real call. The way to view the message trace and logs of the call simulation is the same as that to view the message trace and logs of a real call. The message output window displays the table query result during the call simulation. The message output format is as shown in Figure 31-7. Figure 31-7 Message output format

32.1.1 Function Code
Table 32-1 lists the function code of the load-based handover service. Table 32-1 Function code of load-based handover Name Load-Based Handover Function Code WMFD-080900

32.1.2 Definition
Load-based handover is a mechanism for balancing the traffic and load in the UMTS network and GSM network of carriers. For the BSC/RNCs that support load-based handover, when inter-system handover or intraGSM handover happens, the destination BSC/RNC carries the cell load information in the reported message HANDOVER REQUEST ACKNOWLEDGE/RELOCATION REQUEST ACKNOWLEDGE or HANDOVER FAILURE/RELOCATION FAILURE, which is transparently transmitted to the source BSC/RNC through relevant network equipment while the message HANDOVER COMMAND/RELOCATION COMMAND or HANDOVER REQUIRED REJECT/RELOCATION PREPARATION FAILURE is delivered to the source BSC/RNC. If the BSC/RNC does not support this function, handover is performed based on the common process. This function is provided for the following handover: UMTS-to-GSM intra-MSC handover, inter-MSC handover and subsequent handover GSM-to-UMTS intra-MSC handover, inter-MSC handover and subsequent handover GSM-to-GSM intra-MSC inter-BSC handover, basic inter-MSC handover and subsequent handover

32.1.3 System Specifications


Table 32-2 lists the specifications of the load-based handover service. Table 32-2 Specifications of the load-based handover service Item The MSC, through the parameter configuration, controlling whether the BSC/RNC supports loadbased handover Specification For each RNC/BSC, the MSC can configure the capability of whether to support load-based handover, that is, whether to process cell load information as the handover source.

Item Transparent transmission of cell load information by the MSC during inter-system handover

Specification The MSC can transparently transmit cell load information during inter-system handover such as 3G-to-2G, 2G-to-2G and 2G- to-3G handover.

32.1.4 Benefits
Table 32-3 lists the benefits of the load-based handover service. Table 32-3 Benefits of the load-based handover service Beneficiary Carriers Description The function is used for exchanging load information between the source cell and the destination cell during inter-system handover. With the information, the source BSC/RNC can define a policy to better control the handover. Because the source BSC/RNC learns about the load information of neighboring cells, it can control the handover to some extent. In this case, network load can be balanced and the service experience of mobile subscribers can also be improved.

32.1.5 Application Scenario


This service is applicable to the markets of all GSM networks, GSM and UMTS coexistent networks.

32.1.6 Application Limitation


The MSC can transmit load information only when the source BSC/RNC supports processing of load information.

32.2 Availability
32.2.1 Requirements for NEs
The load-based handover service must be implemented by the radio network controller (RNC), base station controller (BSC), and the core network together. Table 32-4 lists the network elements (NEs) required to implement load-based handover.
Other descriptions of the service availability in section 32.2 "Availability" are based on the core network only.

32.2.4 Others
The requirements of the hardware and the NEs for the load-based handover are as follows: RNC and BSC must support sending or receiving the load information element defined in the 3GPP R5 specifications. The mobile phone must be GSM phone or a GSM/UMTS dual-mode phone.

32.3 Working Principle


32.3.1 Functions of the NEs
The MSC server and BSC/RNC implement the signaling processing and data analysis related to the handover. For the load-based handover, the required functions of the MSC server and BSC/RNC are as follows: Both of the BSC/RNC at the source side of the handover and the BSC/RNC at the target side must support the load-based handover. If the BSC/RNC at the target side supports the load-based handover, the following messages sent by the BSC/RNC at the target side contain the load information of the target cell:

HANDOVER REQUEST ACKNOWLEDGE/RELOCATION REQUEST ACKNOWLEDGE HANDOVER FAILURE/RELOCATION FAILURE

HUAWEI MSOFTX3000 Feature Description

32 Load-Based Handover

If the BSC/RNC at the source side supports the load-based handover and the following messages sent by the MSC contain the load information of the target cell, the BSC/RNC at the source side processes the cell load information according to the specifications:

HANDOVER COMMAND/RELOCATION COMMAND HANDOVER REQUIRED REJECT/RELOCATION PREPARATION FAILURE

The MSC must support the load-based handover. That is, the MSC at the target side must be able to send the load information of the target cell to the source side. The MSC at the source side must be able to send the information to the BSC/RNC. The BSC/RNC data in the MSOFTX3000 can be configured to determine whether the BSC/RNC supports the load-based handover. The software parameter of the MSOFTX3000 controls whether the MSC supports the load-based handover. At the source side of the handover, the MSOFTX3000 checks the capability list of the BSC/RNC. Based on the capability list, the MSOFTX3000 determines whether the BSC/RNC supports the load-based handover, and then, accordingly, decides whether to send the cell load information through messages. At the target side of the inter-MSC handover, the MSOFTX3000, based on the configuration of the software parameter, decides whether to send the cell load information to the source side. The MSOFTX3000 uses three software parameters to control the following types of inter-MSC load-based handover respectively:

Inter-MSC load-based handover from the 3G network to the 2G network If bit 13 of software parameter 157 in the target office is set to 0, indicating the handover is supported, and the target MSC receives the load information from the target BSC, the target MSC sends the load information to the source MSC. If bit 13 of software parameter 157 in the target office is set to 1, indicating the loadbased handover is not supported, the target MSC does not send the load information to the source MSC.

Inter-MSC load-based handover from the 2G network to the 3G network If bit 14 of software parameter 157 in the target office is set to 0, indicating the handover is supported, and the target MSC receives the load information from the target RNC, the target MSC sends the load information to the source MSC. If bit 14 of software parameter 157 in the target office is set to 1, indicating the loadbased handover is not supported, the target MSC does not send the load information to the source MSC.

Inter-MSC load-based handover in the 2G network If bit 15 of software parameter 157 in the target office is set to 0, indicating the handover is supported, and the target MSC receives the load information from the target BSC, the target MSC sends the load information to the source MSC. If bit 15 of software parameter 157 in the target office is set to 1, indicating the loadbased handover is not supported, the target MSC does not send the load information to the source MSC.

The default values of bit 13, 14, and 15 of software parameter 157 are 1.
In the case of intra-MSC handover, the capability of supporting the load-based handover of the BSC/RNC at the source side must be configured on the MSC. The capability of the BSC/RNC at the target side does not require the corresponding configuration on the MSC.

32 Load-Based Handover

HUAWEI MSOFTX3000 Feature Description

If the BSC/RNC at the target side can report the load information, the MSC must check whether the BSC/RNC at the source side supports the load-based handover. If the BSC/RNC at the source side supports the load-based handover, the command MOD BSC must be executed on the MSC for the capability of the BSC/RNC. The MSC then sends the load information transparently to the BSC/RNC at the source side.

32.3.2 Internal Processing of the System


The internal processing of the system differs with the types of handover, which include: interMSC handover and intra-MSC handover.

The flow of the intra-MSC handover is as follows: 1. 2. 3. 4. The BSC/RNC at the source side of the handover sends a handover request message to the MSC server. The MSC server sends the handover request message to the BSC/RNC at the target side of the handover. The BSC/RNC at the target side returns a response message containing the load information. The MSC queries the capability of the BSC/RNC at the source side. If the BSC/RNC is configured to support the load-based handover, the MSC sends the load information transparently to the BSC/RNC at the source side.

The BSC/RNC at the source side of the handover sends a handover request message to the MSC server. The MSC server at the source side sends the handover request to the MSC server at the target side of the handover. The MSC server at the target side sends the handover request message to the BSC/RNC at the target side. The BSC/RNC at the target side sends a response message, containing the load information, to the MSC server at the target side. If the target office supports the load-based handover (the corresponding bit of the software parameter is set to 1), the MSC at the target side sends the load information element to the MSC server at the source side through the response message to the interMSC handover request. The MSC server at the source side queries the capability of the BSC/RNC at the source side. If the BSC/RNC is configured to support the load-based handover, the MSC sends the load information transparently to the BSC/RNC at the source side.

33.1.1 Function Code
Table 33-1 lists the mapping between function name and function code in the union subscriber trace. Table 33-1 Function name and function code in the union subscriber trace Name Union subscriber trace Code WMFD-121700

33.1.2 Definition
The union subscriber trace service indicates that the MSOFTX3000 can implement the HLRbased subscriber trace in the local office. That is, a subscriber trace task can be created and deleted in the HLR and the HLR notifies the MSC/VLR in which the subscriber is located to perform the trace. The trace mode can provide an efficient way to remove a designated failure, especially to process the complaint from subscribers. With the union subscriber trace, the running status of the network is checked in the view of the terminal subscribers. For each movement of mobile subscribers, including location update, power-on/off, mobile originated call (MOC)/mobile terminated call (MTC), originated/terminated short message or switchover, a trace file is generated and is saved in the UNIONTRACE directory under the installation directory of the BAM in the MSOFTX3000. Besides the messages between entities, the MOSFTX3000 controls whether to trace messages and logs inside each module. Table 33-2 lists the movements of mobile subscribers. Table 33-2 Movements of mobile subscribers Name Activation subscriber trace during location update and data recovery Activation trace sent by the HLR Deactivation trace sent by the HLR MOC trace MTC trace Originated short message trace Terminated short message trace Power-on/Location update trace Definition The activation trace message is received from the HLR in the flow of location update and data recovery. The activation trace sent by the HLR is received. The deactivation trace sent by the HLR is received. The file of MOC trace is generated. The file of MTC trace is generated. The file of originated short message trace is generated. The file of terminated short message trace is generated. The file of power-on/location update is generated.

Definition The file of power-off trace is generated. The file of switchover trace is generated. The MSOFTX3000 generates the trace file name based on the trace reference and trace dialog number, and saves the trace content to the file. The storage life of trace files of all subscribers is seven days (It can be configured based on the actual conditions). The files exceeding the time limitation will be deleted during the timeout file clearance. The maximum number of trace tasks and days to preserve files can be configured. You can query, add or deleted a trace based on Trace reference and IMSI.

33.1.3 Benefits
Table 33-3 lists the benefits for carriers. Table 33-3 Benefits for carriers Beneficiary Carriers Description The union subscriber trace is an efficient way to remove a designated failure, especially to process the compliant from subscribers.

33.1.4 Application Scenario


The service is applied to all the markets of the GSM and the UMTS R99/R4.

33.1.5 Application Limitation


As a subscriber interface trace, the union subscriber trace occupies the resource of trace tasks. Assume that the system can support 64 trace tasks (subscriber interface trace and signaling trace) simultaneously. If the BAM has started 60 trace tasks, the union subscriber can start only the remained four tasks. At the same time, the number of the union subscriber trace tasks cannot exceed 32. The value can be set in SET UTRCCFG.

33.1.6 Others
The service requires the related HLR to support the union subscriber trace.

33.3 Working Principle


33.3.1 Functions of NEs
The HLR mainly implements the following functions: The HLR allocates the subscriber trace task to the MSOFTX3000 in the flow of location update or data recovery. The HLR allocates the union subscriber tasks to the MSOFTX3000 in an independent flow. The HLR sends the activation and deactivation trace commands to the MSOFTX3000 to start or terminate a trace task. The MSOFTX3000 mainly implements the following functions: The MSOFTX3000 transfers the trace request to the BAM after it receives the trace request from the HLR. The MSOFTX3000 notifies the BAM to delete the existing trace task when it receives the deactivation trace command from the HLR.

33 Union Subscriber Trace

33.3.2 Internal Processing of the System


The flow of processing the union subscriber trace inside the system is as follows: 1. The HLR allocates the subscriber trace task to the MSOFTX3000 in the flow of location update or data recovery. The HLR also can allocate the union subscriber tasks to the MSOFTX3000 in an independent flow. After receiving the trace request from the HLR, the MSOFTX3000 transfers the request to the BAM, containing Trace reference, IMSI, Trace type (Union subscriber trace), Inner trace, and Task valid days are added. After receiving the request, the BAM determines whether the number of trace tasks exceeds the limitation. If the number of trace tasks exceeds the limitation, the BAM returns the startup failure result. If the request is allowed, record the cell of the trace task. The BAM sends the trace startup message and the User_TRC to the SMU. Based on the original message (starting the subscriber trace), the Trace reference, Trace type (union subscriber trace), IMSI, Inner trace, and Task valid days. After receiving the trace startup message from the BAM, the SMU generates the trace handle to record the trace task and trace information reported by the BAM. Then, the SMU broadcasts the trace startup message to each CCU module. After the MSOFTX3000 acquires the trace handle, a trace file is generated for each movement of traced subscribers (location update, power-on/off, MOC/MTC and originated/terminated short message). The file is saved in a designated directory on the BAM and it will be deleted when it exceeds a specific period. The format of the trace file must be consistent with that of the .tmf trace file. The trace file must be obtained manually. The HLR can also allocate a deactivation trace command to terminate a trace task. After receiving message, the MSOFTX3000 transfers the message to the BAM. The BAM notifies the TRC module to delete the existing trace task and returns the response to the MSOFTX3000.

After the MSOFTX3000 sends the location update/ data recovery message, if the HLR does not sends the activation subscriber request, the processing is the same as that in normal cases. If the HLR sends the activation subscriber trace request, the processing process is as follows: 1. Configure Support UNIONTRC in the function configuration table of the MSOFTX3000. If it is set to No, the SOFTX3000 notifies the HLR that the device does not respond. If it is set to Yes, the MSOFTX3000 determines whether the message contains mandatory information elements, including Trace Reference and Trace Type. (In this case, the IMSI is an optional information element. If the IMSI does not exist, use the IMSI of the current subscriber). If the mandatory information elements are not contained, the MSOFTX3000 sends the data loss message to the HLR. If the IMSI is contained, but it is not consistent with the IMSI of the subscriber after location update/data recovery, the MSOFTX3000 sends the data not expected message to the HLR. If the IMSI contained is consistent with that of the current subscriber, the MSOFTX3000 transfers the trace request of the HLR to the BAM. Then, the BAM performs the union subscriber trace to the subscribers. The MSOFTX3000 returns the union subscriber trace result to the HLR.

If Support UNIONTRC is set to Yes, the MSOFTX3000 determines whether the message contains mandatory information elements, including IMSI, Trace Reference and Trace Type. If the mandatory information elements are not contained, the MSOFTX3000 sends the data lost message to the HLR. If the subscriber data exists in the MSOFTX3000, the MSOFTX3000 starts the union subscriber trace. If the subscriber data does not exist in the MSOFTX3000, the MSOFTX3000 returns the unknown subscriber response to the HLR. The MSOFTX3000 returns the union subscriber trace result to the HLR.

34.1.1 Function Code
The function code is listed in Table 34-1. Table 34-1 Function code Name Service restriction by cell Code WMFD-050800

34.1.2 Definition
Service restriction by cell includes three sub-features: cell-based charging, local-based service restriction, and service restriction by cell. Name Cell-based charging Definition When using a service, the mobile station (MS) checks whether the subscriber's location maps a zone code (ZC) and then writes down traffic code (TC) in the CDR based on the tariff information of the zone code. Also, the MSC informs whether the subscriber is in preferential cell through USSD. The billing center performs preferential billing according to the traffic code. When a subscriber performs location update or uses a service, the MS judges whether the subscriber's location belongs to a zone code, then makes the following logical judgment based on the zone service. Subscriber is allowed or not allowed to perform location update. Subscriber is allowed or not allowed to originate or terminate calls. Subscriber is allowed or not allowed to use short message service (SMS). Subscriber is allowed or not allowed to use supplementary services that are irrelevant to calls. Subscriber is allowed or not allowed to use the location service (LCS). Subscriber is allowed or not allowed to use the unstructured supplementary service data (USSD) service.

34.1.4 Benefits
The benefits are listed in Table 34-2. Table 34-2 Benefits Beneficiary Carriers Description Service restriction by cell allows carriers to set forth customized mobile service plan, attracting more subscribers with diverse means and encouraging consumption. Service restriction by cell allows subscribers to select most suitable mobile service option, obtaining more preferential tariff.

Subscribers

34.1.5 Application Scenario


The service is applicable to all GSM and UMTS R99/R4 networks.

34.1.6 Application Limitations


A subscriber makes a call in cell 1 where making a call is allowed hands over to cell 2 where making a call is restricted. Under such circumstances, in enhanced roaming restriction, ZC roaming restriction, local-based service restriction, and service restriction by cell, the call can be held but the subscriber cannot use or receive new service in cell 2 (unless otherwise configured). With cell-based charging, when handover occurs, the billing uses the tariff of the cell where the call is set up. For non-traffic service types (short message, USSD, and LCS) and new calls, the billing uses the preferential tariff of the cell where the service is originated. For the USSD service, when a subscriber is using USSD, the system using USSD to notify subscriber may cause problem in subscriber operation. Hence cell-based charging does not use USSD to notify the subscriber of the current tariff information for supplementary services (including USSD service).

34.3 Working Principle


34.3.1 Functions of the NEs
The MSC server and VLR perform signaling processing, data analysis, billing, and USSD notice sending for the service. The HLR9820 only needs to support ZC. It inserts the subscriber data with ZC subscription data into VLR.

34.3.2 Service Implementation


With cell-based charging USSD notice, the system uses the subscriber's IMSI or MSISDN to query the cell-based charging USSD notice configuration table to obtain the notice content name, and then uses the cell-based charging USSD notice content table to obtain details about USSD notice. With local-based service restriction, cell-based charging, and SRC in ZC mode, the system first obtains Location number name according to the cell where the subscriber is in, and then obtains Local subscription ZC sets name, Cell billing ZC sets name, or Service restriction by cell ZC sets name, hence using different ZC set names to query ZC table to obtain different attribute values.

Huawei Technologies Proprietary

Issue 02 (2007-06-10)

HUAWEI MSOFTX3000 Feature Description

34 Service Restriction by Cell

With SRC in user group mode, the system obtains the location number name (based on the cell where the subscriber is in), the location group name, the subscriber group name (based on the subscriber's IMSI, MSISDN or subscriber's roaming subscriber type), and finally SRC restricted service list (based on the location group and subscriber group) and determines whether to restrict roaming. Implementation of local-based service restriction The system uses Local subscription ZC sets name corresponding to the cell to query the ZC table and to obtain all the ZC of the ZC set, obtains intersection with the list of the ZCs subscribed to in the HLR. If intersection exists, it means the subscriber is allowed to continue the service. If intersection does not exist, it means the subscriber is outside the roaming area. The system further obtains the ZC of highest priority in the ZC set. Based on the service list of local-based service restriction, which is configured by ZC, and the service that the subscriber is using, the system determines whether to allow the subscriber to continue the service. Implementation of service restriction by cell Service restriction by cell has two types: SRC in ZC mode & SRC in user group mode.

With SRC in ZC mode, the system uses Service restriction by cell ZC set name to query the ZC table to obtain all ZC of the ZC set, and obtains intersection with the list of the ZCs subscribed to in the HLR. If intersection exists, the system queries the SRC restricted service list and decides whether to allow the subscriber continuing the service. With SRC in user group mode, the system uses location number name of the cell and subscriber identification (IMSI/MSISDN/roaming subscriber type) to query the home subscriber group to check whether roaming is allowed. If not, the system restricts the subscriber from continuing. If yes, the system checks the SRC prohibit service list and then decides whether to allow the subscriber to continue.

Implementation of cell-based charging The system uses Cell billing ZC sets name of the cell to obtain all ZC of the ZC set and then obtains intersection with the list of the ZCs subscribed to in the HLR. If intersection exists, that is, if subscriber is in preferential cell, then the system obtains the tariff corresponding to the ZC of highest priority in the intersection. If intersection does not exist, it means the subscriber is not in preferential cell and the system obtains the default non-preferential tariff value. The system judges whether to deliver USSD notice to subscriber. If yes, the system queries the corresponding USSD notice content depending on whether the subscriber is in preferential cell. If not, no USSD notice is delivered and the subscriber continues the service. After the service is over, the CDR is filled in with the service traffic code.
If delivering USSD notice fails, the service is not affected.

LocationUpdate_REQ

Authentication_Req Authentication_Rsp UpdateLocation_REQ InsertSubscriberData_IND

InsertSubscriberData_RSP UpdateLocation_RSP LocationUpdate_Accept

In the location update flow, upon receiving the InsertSubscriberData_IND message, the VLR performs ZC LIST check to see if the ZC LIST that the subscriber registers in HLR is configured in VLR. When the system supports ZC roaming restriction and local-based service restriction, if they are configured, it means local VLR has areas where subscriber roaming is allowed and hence subscriber registration is allowed; if they are not configured, it means the local VLR has no areas where subscriber roaming is allowed and hence VLR responds with location update refusal. When the system does not support ZC roaming restriction and local-based service restriction, the existing flow is not affected.

The succeeding flow is the same as that of the origination of a normal call or short message.

If the roaming of calls, short messages, and location service are restricted, then the system returns CM_Service_Reject. If roaming is allowed and the subscriber has not subscribed to ZC, then the existing flow is not affected. If roaming is allowed and the subscriber has subscribed to ZC, then the processing is as follows: In case of an originated call, the message upon completion of access flow is Setup. The system determines the new services, local-based service restriction and service restriction by cell, based on GSM BC sent by the MS. If the originated call service is not allowed, then the system returns CMRelease and ends the call flow. If the originated call service is allowed, then the system checks the caller data in the call flow, then inserts USSD billing notice, sends USSSD, and continues the call. In case of an originated short message, the short message upon completion of access flow is CPDATA. Upon completing subscriber data check in the short message flow, the system restarts another flow that is parallel to the originated short message to deliver USSD notice. The short message flow remains unchanged. In the call service, USSD billing notice is embedded in the call flow, whereas in the short message flow, USSD billing notice flow is parallel to the short message flow. The location service does not perform USSD notice and continues the service.

If the terminated call service is not allowed, then the system returns CMRelease and ends the call flow. If the terminated call service is allowed, then the system completes the access flow, inserts USSD billing notice, sends USSD, and continues the call.

34 Service Restriction by Cell

34.9.1 Enhanced Roaming Restriction and ZC Roaming Restriction


Enhanced roaming restriction, ZC roaming restriction, local-based service restriction, and service restriction by cell are all service-restriction-type features. Enhanced roaming restriction and ZC roaming restriction can restrict at the precision of location area (LAI) and the new local-based service restriction and service restriction by cell can restrict at the precision of cell (GCI/SAI). Local-based service restriction controls whether to allow a subscriber to use the services, such as originating and terminating calls and short messages, outside the roaming-allowed area. With local-based service restriction, when it is disabled, roaming at a certain cell may be restricted, but when it is enabled, roaming at that cell is allowed, so that the subscriber can use the configured services. Service restriction by cell can control whether to allow subscribers to use services at a cell. The services can be simultaneously enabled without affecting each other. The order of providing local-based service restriction, service restriction by cell, enhanced roaming restriction, and ZC roaming restriction is: In location update, enhanced roaming restriction is first analyzed, then ZC roaming restriction is checked, and finally local-based service restriction is analyzed. When a subscriber uses a service, the services ZC roaming restriction, enhanced roaming restriction, local-based service restriction, and service restriction by cell are analyzed in turn. When the services are allowed, cell-based charging is processed.

35.1.2 Definition
The dialing test on the designated TDM circuit is to test the availability of the TDM circuit between the two MGWs in the same MSC server, without blocking circuits. The test is performed to check whether the circuits between the MGWs are faulty. It is applied to the running device test and troubleshooting. The result of the trunk dialing test is printed in the trunk trace window and is saved in a file. The designated dialing test indicates when a subscriber dials the same number for multiple times, the MSC server selects the corresponding TDM circuits for test based on the trunk test task table. The dialing test on the designated TDM circuit is to test the timeslot of the E1 cable connecting the two MGWs of the peer office. As shown in Figure 35-1, there are two MGWs, namely MGW1 and MGW2, in the MSC server. The dialing test on the designated TDM circuit can be conducted when a subscriber in the MGW1 calls a subscriber in the MGW2, or a PSTN subscriber.

35.3 Working Principle


35.3.1 Functions of NEs
The service requires the MS/PSTN to interwork with the MSC server and MGW. The functions implemented by each NE are as follows: The MSC server implements the processing of each signaling, data analysis and tone announcement. After analyzing the number dialed for test, it obtains the dialing test type and the circuits to be tested, and converts the dialing test number to the actual called number for call connection. The MS/PSTN is performed with the dialing test based on the scheme configured in the trunk test task table. The MGW implements the physical bearer of the dialing test circuits.

35.3.2 Internal Processing of the System

P1: The system analyzes the dialing test type and dialing test circuits. P2: The system prints the test result and refreshes the data in test task buffer area.

The message flow is as follows: 1. Mobile subscriber A initiates the dialing test and dials the number with the prefix of X*.
X* is the call prefix of the called number during the dialing test on the designated circuit. Therein, X stands for the designated number, * stands for the wildcard, and the combination of X and * is the call prefix.

2.

After analyzing the dialing test number, the MSC server determines that Service category is Test and Service attribute is Special number prefix test. The MSC server excludes X* and then queries the trunk test task table through the called number and calling number after the first *. After the query, the MSC server can obtain the detailed circuit number (BSN) through analyzing the data. It connects the call to the actual PSTN subscriber B configured in the trunk test table. The MSC server queries the database to obtain the TDM circuit endpoints between the two MGWs based on the E1 numbers. The MSC server sends the resource request to MGW A to prepare the endpoint of the calling party. MGW A returns the contact 1 and termination 1 (C1, T1) involved in the call to the MSC server.

36.1.1 Function Code
Table 36-1 lists the mapping between function name and function code in the IN service performance measurement enhancement. Table 36-1 Function name and function code in the IN service performance measurement enhancement Name IN service performance measurement enhancement Code -

36.1.2 Definition
The IN service performance measurement enhancement is to modify the original "Traffic For WIN User Calling Fixed User" and "Traffic For Fixed User Calling WIN User" to "Traffic For WIN User TK Outgoing Call" and "Traffic For TK Incoming Office Calling WIN User". At the same time, the two measurement units are divided into four units to enhance the precision of the IN service performance measurement. Such division helps to estimate the system performance and each performance measurement efficiently. Traffic For WIN User TK Outgoing Call

Traffic For WIN User Calling Fixed User: It is used to perform the statistics for the WIN user calling the fixed user. Traffic For WIN User Calling Other MSC User: It is used to perform the statistics for the WIN user calling the other MSC user. Traffic For Fixed User Calling WIN User: It is used to perform the statistics for the fixed user calling the WIN user. Traffic For Other MSC User Calling WIN User: It is used to perform the statistics for the other MSC user calling the WIN user.

MSC server B is the WIN invocation office. It succeeds in invoking the callee IN service, but the IN call connection is not complete. If the calling party is the PSTN user or other MSC user, MSC server B performs the corresponding performance measurement.

Regulation Principle of the Calling Number


The regulation principle of the calling number is regulation for the calling number temporarily based on "Traffic For Fixed User Calling WIN User" and "Traffic For Other MSC User Calling WIN User". It is independent of the call flow of the system. When the system terminates the two traffic tasks, the regulation for the calling number becomes invalid. Therefore, the regulation described in the document is for the two traffic tasks only. It does not affect the calling number itself during the call connection.

The regulation principle of the calling number for "Traffic For Fixed User Calling WIN User" and "Traffic For Other MSC User Calling WIN User" is as follows: The system queries the Auxiliary Number Processing table. The system queries the record when Number type is set to TK incoming office caller number in ADD AIDNUMPRO in the auxiliary number processing table. If querying Auxiliary Number Processing table is successful, the result of the auxiliary number change is that of the calling number regulation. If the system fails to query the table, the calling number regulation is performed. The format of the calling number after the regulation is as follows:

For an international call: international number prefix + country code of called party + fixed line number/mobile number

For an international call: 00 852 13907520511 or 00 852 6660050 For a national toll call: 0 10 6660050 For a mobile call: 13907520511 For a local PSTN call: 6660050

The number regulation data involved in the calling number regulation performed for "Traffic For Fixed User Calling WIN User" and "Traffic For Other MSC User Calling WIN User" comes from the general data tables of number regulation. The tables include Local Information table, Multi-area Statistics Configuration table, Mobile Station information table, Call Source table, Mobile National Access Code table, National Toll Area Code table, and Country Code or Area Code table.

36.5 Data Configuration


36.5.1 Description
The data configuration for the IN service performance measurement enhancement is as follows: In the current networking, the data configuration in certain offices is not consistent with that specified in specifications. In this case, when the system performs the performance measurement based on the service attribute and number type of the caller, the traffic that does not meet the specifications cannot be measured. Thus, the performance measurement is not accurate. When performing the performance measurement for "Traffic For Fixed User Calling WIN User" and "Traffic For Other MSC User Calling WIN User", the system needs to configure the Auxiliary Number Processing table or performs the special number regulation. Figure 36-8 shows the special flow of the number regulation. Figure 36-8 Special flow of the number regulation

HUAWEI MSOFTX3000 Feature Description

36.5.2 Data Configuration at the MSOFTX3000 Side


The data configuration at the MSOFTX3000 side is as follows: Step 1 Run ADD CNACLD/MOD CNACLD to configure the called number analysis table. Set Call prefix to the prefix of the called number. (It corresponds to the calling number when the system queries the data table through the calling number). Set Service attribute to Local, Local toll, National toll, International toll, PLMN intra MSC, PLMN local MSC, PLMN other MSC, PLMN national toll MSC, or PLMN international toll MSC. Set Called number type to MSISDN, PSTN or MSRN/HON.
You need not configure the called number analysis table when the table has been configured with the corresponding data. If Service attribute configured in the called number analysis table, however, is incorrect and may result in performance measurement failure or missing, you need to modify the data table based on the preceding description.

Step 2 Run ADD DNC to configure the number change table.


The number change table is configured with the auxiliary number processing table. If the auxiliary number processing table requires no configuration, you need not modify the current Number Change table. When other data table needs to reference Other conversion number source, you need to configure the number change table.

Step 3 Run ADD AIDNUMPRO to configure the auxiliary number processing table. Set Number type to Trunk incoming calling number.
In normal cases, the national country code and local area code are not configured in the called number analysis table. In some special cases, the called number containing the national country code and local area code is configured in the called number analysis table. To match the called number with the calling number, configure the auxiliary number processing table. To perform statistics for "Traffic For Fixed User Calling WIN User" and "Traffic For Other MSC User Calling WIN User", configure the auxiliary number processing table.

37.3 Working Principle


37.3.1 Functions of the NEs
The functions of the network elements involved in the ADD service are as follows: The RNC/BSC, MSC server, and HLR carry out the operations related to signaling in the location update. When the MSC server and the HLR support the ADD service, the MSC server obtains the IMEISV from the subscriber and saves it in the HLR.

37.3.2 Internal Processing of the System


To realize the ADD service, IMEISV processing is added in the original flow of location update. Figure 37-1 shows the flow of the ADD service. Figure 37-1 Flow of the ADD service

MS

D1

D3 MSOFTX3000 HLR

The flow of the ADD service is as follows: 1. 2. 3. 4. The MSC server checks whether both of the local HLR and peer HLR support the ADD service. If yes, the MSC server sends a request to the MS to obtain IMEISV. The MS sends the IMEISV to the MSC server. After receiving the IMEISV from the MS, the MSC server originates location update request to the HLR. The HLR responds to the location update request. Based on the response from the HLR and the local office configuration, the MSC server determines whether to update the capabilities of supporting the ADD service of the peer HLR in the local HLR list.

37.3.3 External Interfaces


The interface between the MSC server and the HLR complies with the definition in 29002 protocol.

37.4 Service Flow


Figure 37-2 shows the ADD message flow. Figure 37-2 ADD message flow
MS MSC Server Location_Updating_Request Identity_Qeuest Identity_Response MAP_UPDATE_LOCATION_REQ MAP_UPDATE_LOCATION_CNF Location_Updating_Accept HLR

The ADD message flow in location update is as follows: 1. After receiving the location update request, the MSC server determines whether the local office supports the ADD service, by querying the Local Office Information table and determines whether the peer HLR supports the ADD service, by querying the local office configuration. If both the local office and the peer HLR in the local HLR list support the ADD service, the MSC server decides whether to send the request for obtaining the IMEISV (through the Identity_Request message) to the MS based on the type of current location update. The judging principle is as follows:

2.

For periodic location update, if the local office stores the IMEISV of the subscriber, it is not required to obtain IMEISV from the MS. For periodic location update, if the local office does not store the IMEISV of the subscriber, the MSC server must obtain the IMEISV from the MS. For the location update of other types, the IMEISV must be obtained from the MS.

3.

If the local office or peer HLR does not support the ADD service, the flow is the same as that of the location update. If the IMEISV must be obtained from MS in the flow, the software parameter is used to control whether to obtain the IMEI or IMEISV. The description of the software parameter is as follows: Bit 8 of P190 (MM_FETCH_IMEI): determines whether the mobile management (MM) module sends a request for the IMEI or IMEISV to the MS.

=0: IMEISV =1: IMEI Default value: 1 4. If IMEISV fails to be obtained from the MS, and both the local office and the peer HLR support the ADD service, the MSC server determines whether to terminate the flow of location update based on bit 0 of P650. If bit 0 of P650 is set to 0, the location update flow continues and IMEI is no longer obtained. If bit 0 of P650 is set to 1, the location update flow is terminated. In the following flow, the local office judges whether to carry out location update in the HLR. The cases are as follows:

5.

In the original flow, location update need be carried out in the HLR. The local office and peer HLR support the ADD service. If the IMEISV is successfully obtained, the IMEISV is sent to the HLR through the information element add_info. In the original flow, location update need be carried out in the HLR. The local office and peer HLR support the ADD service. If IMEISV fails to be obtained from the MS, but the flow controlled by the software parameter continues, the original IMEISV of the local office is updated in the HLR. If the local office does not save the IMEISV, the location update request sent to the HLR does not carry IMEISV. In the original flow, location update need not be carried out in the HLR. The local office and peer HLR support the ADD service. If IMEISV is successfully obtained from the MS, the obtained IMEISV is compared with the saved IMEISV. If the new and old IMEISV are different, such as the local office does not save the IMEISV, location update need be carried out in the HLR; If the new and old IMEISV are the same, but the local office does not support ADD in the location update of last time, location update need be carried out in the HLR; If the new and old IMEISV are the same, and the IMEISV is updated to the HLR in the location update of last time, location update need not be carried out in the HLR.

If the local office or the peer HLR does not support the ADD service, the flow continues in the same way as the original one.

6.

After receiving the location update response, the local office updates the ADD support capability of the HLR in the local HLR list based on the response. If bit 1 of P650 is set to 1, the response from the HLR must be sent to the other WCCU/WCSU boards. If the ADD support capability is configured as Peremptory Support or Peremptory Not Support, the MSOFTX3000 does not update the ADD support capability of the HLR in local HLR list. The description of the software parameter is as follows: Bit 1 of P650 (IF_BROADCAST_WHEN_ADD_SUPPORT_HLR_LIST_CHANGE): determines whether to send the response to the other WCCU/WCSU boards when the response from the HLR to the location update request leads to the global update of ADDSupportHLRList. =0: Not send the response to the other WCCU/WCSU boards =1: Send the response to the other WCCU/WCSU boards Default value: 0

38.1.4 System Specifications


Item Noise suppression feature Describes After configured with the MGW and trunk group information, the MSC server sends messages to support noise suppression service when the network bearer is set up. The functions provided by the noise suppression service are subordinated to the enhanced voice service. Currently, noise suppression provides only two functions: noise suppression beneficial to the local end and noise suppression beneficial to the peer end. The noise suppression is applied to only voice service and cannot be used with data service. The switch and direction (local end beneficial, peer end beneficial or mutually beneficial) of the noise suppression are controlled by the MSC server through the MC interface. The degree of noise suppression is configured by the SET VQEPARA command. (In this manual, the MGW delivered with the MSC Server is the UMG8900 of Huawei. For configuring other MGWs, refer to the UMG8900.)

38.1.5 Benefits

The MGW analyzes the received messages of noise suppression parameters and enables the noise suppression function on the corresponding port.

38.3.2 Internal Processing


Figure 38-1 shows the networking of system internal processing. Figure 38-1 Networking of the system internal processing
MSC Server (MSOFTX3000-1)

MGW1 Bearer network

Subscriber B

Trunk group1 Subscriber A

As shown in Figure 38-1, the calls of subscribers A and B are borne over trunk group1 and MGW1. On the MSC Server, the operator must configure the noise suppression function for trunk group1 and MGW1. If the noises that are caused by subscriber B's background voice and that subscriber A hears must be reduced, set Enhanced voice attribute to Noise removing benefit local end. If the noises that are caused by subscriber A's background voice and that subscriber B hears must be reduced, set Enhanced voice attribute to Noise removing benefit peer end.
Whether the MSC Server sends noise suppression parameters to the MGW is determined by the MGW noise suppression configuration and trunk group noise suppression configuration in the MSC Server. Only when the noise suppression function is configured for the MGW and trunk group in the MSC Server database, the information that the MSC Server sends to the MGW carries the noise suppression parameters and the noise suppression is valid.

HUAWEI MSOFTX3000 Feature Description

Figure 38-2 Service flow of the noise suppression feature


MSC Server MGW

ADD(NR/NRDIR) ADD Reply Call Connection

The processing flow of the noise suppression feature is as follows: 1. The MSC Server instructs the MGW to build a bearer. When the bearer mode is TDM, the system finds out whether the noise suppression function is enabled by querying the trunk group configuration information, and whether the noise suppression function is enabled by querying the gateway configuration information. If the trunk group configuration information instructs to enable the noise suppression function, and the gateway configuration information instructs to support the noise suppression function, the MSC Serve adds noise suppression information element in related messages sent to the MGW to instruct the MGW to enable the noise suppression service. The noise suppression is applied to voice service only. The MGW sends the response message back to the MSC server.
Whether the noise suppression service is supported depends on the VQE resource configured on the UMG8900. Only one VQE subboard can be inserted in a VPU board. Configure related parameters of the noise suppression by the SET VQEPARA command on the MGW before using the function. After that, configure related parameters of the noise suppression by the following parameters on the MSOFTX3000:

2.

Special attributes in ADD/MOD MGW

Enhanced voice attribute in ADD/MOD N7TG, ADD/MOD CASTG, ADD/MOD PRATG and ADD/MOD AIETG

When the common channel signaling connects the voice call, the trunk group table is queried before the bearer is established. If the A interface trunk module connects the voice call, the module obtains the information of noise suppression from the result returned from A interface routing. If the R2 trunk is used, the noise suppression function is enabled. The system can enable the noise suppression function only in the state of Ringing Mode or listening to the ring back tone. If the common channel trunk, the A interface trunk or R2 trunk is used, the noise suppression function is disabled. If the noise suppression function is enabled, and the handover from voice to data during the call occurs, the MSC server sends the Modify messages to the MGW, indicating disabling the noise suppression service.

38.5 Data Configuration


38.5.1 Overview
To use the noise suppression function, perform the data configuration on the UMG8900 and MSOFTX3000.

HUAWEI MSOFTX3000 Feature Description

39.1 Service Description


39.1.1 Function Code
Function Name TDM circuit selection based on service type Function Code WMFD-164900

39.1.2 Definition
If the TDM bearer is adopted between two media gateways (MGWs), the carrier can use the compression device for data transmission. Thus, when a service with a large amount of data, such as the video phone (VP) service, is used, the data may be long delayed after processed by the compression device. To reduce the transmission cost in the MGW, this function solves this problem with the following methods: The traffic of the services with a large amount of data (such as VP calls) goes through the TDM circuits that are not connected to the compression device. The traffic of the services with small amount of data (such as voice calls) goes through the TDM circuits that are connected to the compression device.

39.1.3 Standard Compliance


None.

39.1.4 System Specifications


Item TDM circuits Compression circuits and non-compression circuits Specifications The number of TDM circuits between MGWs in the local office must not be more than 100,000. The TDM circuits that are connected to the compression device are called compression circuits. The TDM circuits that are not connected to the compression device are called non-compression circuits. The compression attribute of a TDM circuit must be consistent with the connection of the circuit to the compression device.

39 TDM Circuit Selection Based on Service Type

39.1.5 Benefits
Beneficiary Carrier Description The carrier can choose the TDM bearer (compression circuits or non-compression circuits) based on the service requirement. Thus, not only the requirement of subscribers can be fulfilled, but also the quantity of the transmission devices can be reduced.

39.1.6 Application Scenario


When multiple MGWs are equipped in an office or used to connect offices, the TDM bearer may be adopted between MGWs. In this case, to reduce the cost, the carrier can connect the TDM circuits to the compression device. If services with a large amount of data, such as the VP service, are processed by the compression device, the data transmission may be long delayed. For services with small amount of data, such as the voice call, even if the data is processed by the compression device, the delay of data transmission is short and acceptable. Therefore, based on the data configuration and service requirement, the MSC Server can decide whether to transmit the data of calls through the compression TDM circuits or non-compression TDM circuits. Thus, the cost can be reduced and at the same time, long delay of data transmission can be avoided.

39.2 Availability
39.2.1 Requirements for NEs
To implement TDM circuit selection based on service type, the MSC Server and the MGW are required, as described in Table 39-1. Table 39-1 NE required to implement the function of TDM circuit selection based on service type UE NodeB RNC MSC Server MGW SGSN GGSN HLR -

39.3.1 Functions of the NEs
Based on the service type, the MSC Server can decide whether to use the compression circuits or non-compression circuits for data transmission to shorten the delay of a call. Figure 39-1 shows the TDM circuit selection based on the service type. Figure 39-1 TDM circuit selection based on the service type

Circuit A is the non-compression circuit. Data transmission is not delayed when the data is transmitted through circuit A. Circuit B is the compression circuit. Data transmission is delayed when transmitted through circuit B. The delay of the transmission for a service with small amount of data, however, does not affect the usage of the service.

For intra-office data transmission, the MSC Server can implement the selection of TDM circuits based on the service type, in either of the following modes:

39 TDM Circuit Selection Based on Service Type

For calls that require a certain bearer capability, only one type of TDM circuit is selected. For example, for the VP service, only the non-compression TDM circuits are selected. For a type of calls, a certain type of circuit is assigned with higher priority. When the circuits with higher priority are unavailable, the circuits of the other type can be selected. For example, the compression TDM circuits are selected in preference to voice services. When all the circuits of this type are seized, the non-compression TDM circuits are selected. For inter-office data transmission, the MSC Server implements the selection of TDM circuits based on the service type, in the following mode: The transmission capability of circuits is configured through ADD RTANA. When calls are routed out of the office, the ISUP trunk groups (compression circuits or non-compression circuits) are selected based on the service. Thus, data of calls with a large amount of data are not transmitted through the compression device. The data transmission is not delayed and therefore, the quality of the calls can be ensured. Calls with a small amount of data are processed by the compression device. The delay of data transmission, however, is not long and therefore is acceptable.

39.4 Data Configuration


39.4.1 Overview of Configuration
To enable TDM circuit selection based on the service type, data must be configured at the MSOFTX3000 side.

39.4.2 Data Configuration at the MSOFTX3000 Side


Adding Internal TDM Circuits
Run ADD INTTERM to add internal TDM circuits. The parameter of this command related to TDM circuit selection based on the service type is as follows: Compress Flag It specifies whether the E1 circuit to be added supports compression. By default, E1 circuits do not support compression. The values of this parameter are as follows: Non Compress: The E1 circuit does not support compression. Compress: The E1 circuit supports compression.

Adding Mapping Between Transmission Capability and Compression Flag


Run ADD TRCAPTOCFLAG to add mapping between the transmission capability and the compression flag. The parameters of this command related to TDM circuit selection based on the service type are as follows: Transmission Capability

39 TDM Circuit Selection Based on Service Type

HUAWEI MSOFTX3000 Feature Description

It specifies the type of services that can be carried out during calls, for example, the voice, data, or audio service. Compress Flag It is one of the match check conditions for TDM circuit selection during a call. For the specified transmission capability, this parameter specifies the type of TDM circuit used by the service carried out during the call: TDM circuit with the compress capability or TDM circuit without the compress capability. This parameter is used in ADD INTTERM. Allow Select Other TDM Circuit It is one of the match check conditions for TDM circuit selection during a call. In the condition that Compress Flag is set for the specified transmission capability, if no TDM circuit with the specified compress capability is available, this parameter specifies whether the other type of TDM circuit or no TDM circuit is selected. If no TDM circuit is selected, the call is released.

Adding Route Analysis Data


Run ADD RTANA to add route analysis data. The parameter of this command related to TDM circuit selection based on the service type is as follows: Transmission capability It is one of the conditions for route selection. It specifies the type of services that can be carried out during calls, for example, the voice, data, or audio service. Generally, this parameter is set to All categories. During the route analysis, if Transmission capability defined in more than one (usually two) data records of route analysis can match the current call, All categories has the lowest priority. That is, the system selects other matching options in preference.

Adding No.7 Trunk Group


Run ADD N7TG to add No.7 trunk groups. The parameter of this command related to TDM circuit selection based on the service type is as follows: Transmission capability It specifies the type of services that the trunk group can bear, for example, the voice, data, or audio service. Generally, this parameter is set to All. For TDM circuit selection based on the service type, the trunk groups bearing the voice service and those bearing the video service must be configured separately.

40.1.2 Definition
At present, in networks of China Mobile, the signaling transmitted between the end office and tandem office is ISUP signaling. The ISUP signaling is transferred by the MGW and transmitted over an M3UA/MTP route. During network consolidation, the signaling transmitted between the end office and tandem office changes gradually from ISUP signaling to BICC signaling. In addition, BICC signaling must be transmitted over direct M3UA routes. That is, for the same office direction, BICC signaling can be transmitted over direct M3UA routes and ISUP signaling can be transmitted over M3UA/MTP routes at the same time for a certain period, as shown in Figure 40-1.

This service requires that ISUP signaling should be transmitted over an existing non-direct route (such as MSC Server A -> MGW -> MGW -> MSC Server B) and should be transferred by the MGW. It also requires that BICC signaling should be transmitted over a direct M3UA route (such as MSC Server A -> MSC Server B). Moreover, the non-direct M3UA/MTP route and direct M3UA route are not required to provide the disaster tolerance function. In other word, when the transmission of BICC signaling over the direct M3UA route fails, the BICC signaling cannot be transmitted over the route over which ISUP signaling is transmitted. When the transmission of ISUP signaling over the non-direct route fails, the ISUP signaling cannot be transmitted over the direct route over which BICC signaling is transmitted.

40.3.2 Internal Processing of the System


When routing an upper-layer user message, the lower-layer link (such as M3UA) selects a route based on the Service Indicator (SI) contained in the message. When a fault occurs in the route over which an upper-layer user message is transmitted, the system can determine whether to transmit the message over an MTP route through data configuration.

40-6

Huawei Technologies Proprietary

Issue 02 (2007-06-10)

HUAWEI MSOFTX3000 Feature Description

40 BICC and ISUP Route Allowed for the Same Office Direction

Through data configuration, BICC signaling and ISUP signaling can be in the same office direction. The office direction of the following sub-routes can be configured to the same: Narrowband sub-route: SS7 trunk, CAS trunk, and PRA trunk can be configured. Broadband sub-route: SIP trunk and BICC trunk can be configured.

Internal Processing When Fault Occurs in M3UA Route


This section describes the internal processing of the system when a fault occurs in an M3UA route. Based on data configuration, the system determines whether to use an MTP route as the bearer. 1. When the network layer selects the route over which upper-layer user messages are transmitted, the system first selects an M3UA route. Run ADD M3DS to configure a non-exclusive destination entity and the corresponding destination service. Use Service indicator to specify the upper-layer user message borne by the destination entity. The non-exclusive destination entity shares a signaling point code (SPC) with other NEs. In other word, the non-exclusive destination entity works in a non-exclusive mode. An exclusive destination entity occupies an SPC exclusively. The network mode can be configured by running ADD M3DE. 2. After you set Bearer select mode by running ADD M3DS, the system cannot select an MTP3 route to transmit upper-layer user messages in case a fault occurs in the M3UA route.

If the parameter is set to Select other bearers (default value), the system selects an MTP3 route to transmit upper-layer user messages when the M3UA destination entity is unreachable. If the parameter is set to M3UA Only, the system does not select an MTP3 route to transmit upper-layer user messages when the M3UA destination entity is unreachable.

3.

After an upper-layer user message carrying a certain SI is sent over an M3UA route, the system determines that the destination entity corresponding to the SI is unreachable. In this case, if the parameter is set to M3UA Only, M3UA sends a UPU message destined for the user message. The UPU message contains the internal cause value "M3UA destination service unavailable". The UPU message is generated by the local end; therefore, the system need not broadcast the message to other destination entities. If the upper-layer user receives the UPU message sent by M3UA and the cause value in the UPU message is "M3UA destination service unavailable", the system starts the timing test of the status of the M3UA destination service. When the destination entity corresponding to the M3UA destination service recovers, the system resumes the original signaling mode.

4.

Data Configuration of Routes in the Same Office Direction


Through ADD SRT, the routing policy of the inter-office TDM/IP bearer can be configured. In addition, the office direction of the following sub-routes can be configured to the same: Narrowband sub-route: SS7 trunk, CAS trunk, and PRA trunk can be configured. Broadband sub-route: SIP trunk and BICC trunk can be configured. The selection type of the IP/TDM bearer network can be configured by running ADD RT. For example, 60% of sub-routes of an IP bearer network are selected, and 40% of sub-routes of a TDM bearer network are selected. That is, the percentages of narrowband sub-routes and broadband sub-routes can be configured. If Sub-route selection mode is set to Select by

40.5.2 Data Configuration at the MSOFTX3000 Side


The data configuration varies with the module.

M3UA Module
Preconditions of running ADD M3DS To add an M3UA destination entity additional service, you must run ADD M3DE to add an M3UA destination entity. The method of configuring the parameters is the same as before. The setting of Bearer select mode of ADD/MOD M3DS is involved in this service. Before adding an M3UA destination entity additional service, you must set Destination entity type to Signaling gateway or Application server, and Network mode to Shared SPC by running ADD M3DE. ADD M3DE The following describes the key parameters of ADD M3DE. For details, refer to the online help. Destination entity name It specifies an M3UA destination entity in the MSOFTX3000 configuration database. The value range is a character string of up to 32 characters. The rules for setting the parameter are as follows:

When there are direct M3UA signaling routes between the MSOFTX3000 and the peer signaling device, you must specify the signaling device as a destination entity. For example, if the MSOFTX3000 interconnects directly with the SG, MSC Server, HLR, SCP and softswitch devices through M3UA links, these devices have to be defined to be destination entities. When the peer signaling device is a destination signaling point (DSP), the signaling device must be defined to be a destination entity. For example, the MSOFTX3000 interconnects with five MSCs and two PSTN switches through the transfer of the SG

and signaling transfer point (STP). You must specify seven destination entities (STP is excluded). Destination entity type It is a parameter for interworking between the MSOFTX3000 and M3UA signaling device. The parameter specifies the application mode of the destination entity in an M3UA link set. The rules for setting the parameter are as follows:

For a non-peer-to-peer network, if the destination entity is MSC, BSC, RNC, HRL or SCP that interconnects with the MSOFTX3000 through the SG, set this parameter to Signaling point. For a non-peer-to-peer network, if the destination entity is an SG that is directly connected to the MSOFTX3000, set this parameter to Signaling gateway. For a non-peer-to-peer network, if the MSOFTX3000 functions as an integrated SG, set this parameter to Application server, that is, the destination entity is an AS. For a peer-to-peer network, if the destination entity is an MSC Server, HRL, SCP or softswitch that directly interconnects with the MSOFTX3000 through M3UA links (not transferred through the SG), set this parameter to Application server.

Network mode It specifies whether the M3UA destination entity interconnected with the MSOFTX3000 has an exclusive signaling point code or shares a signaling point code with other network elements. The parameter is valid only when Destination entity type is set to Application server or Signaling gateway. The value options are Exclusive SPC and Shared SPC. The default value is Exclusive SPC. If it is set to Shared SPC, the M3UA destination services must be configured (ADD M3DS). ADD M3DS The following introduces the key parameter description of ADD M3DS. For details, refer to the online help. Additional service name It specifies an M3UA additional service name in the configuration database. Destination entity name It specifies the destination entity to which the MSOFTX3000 transfers the received M3UA messages from the originating signaling point. The parameter must be defined by ADD M3DE. Service indicator It specifies the scope in which the MSOFTX3000 transfers the M3UA messages. That is, the MSOFTX3000 transfers only the M3UA messages which the value of Service indicator field matches the service indicator defined here. Otherwise, the MSOFTX3000 discards the M3UA message. When Service indicator is set to All, it indicates that the MSOFTX3000 does not analyze the Service indicator field in the M3UA messages. Bearer select mode It specifies the selection mode of the bearer for message transmission. In other words, it specifies whether other bearers such as MTP are used to send subscriber messages after the failure of transmission through M3UA. By default, subscriber messages are sent through M3UA. If the transmission fails, MTP is used instead. If you need to enable this service, configure this parameter. Start CIC and End CIC The parameter is valid only when Service indicator is set to TUP, ISUP, or BICC. It specifies the scope in which the MSOFTX3000 transfers the M3UA messages. That is,

ADD/MOD/LST OFC is required for data configuration at the MSOFTX3000 side. ADD OFC The following introduces the key parameter description of ADD OFC. For details, refer to the online help. Office Type It specifies the type of an office direction. When the parameter is set to Common Office, only ISUP trunk or BICC trunk can be configured for this office direction. When the parameter is set to Mix Office, both ISUP trunk and BICC trunk can be configured for this office direction; however, Signaling type can be set to BICC over MTP3/M3UA_272, BICC over MTP3B, BICC over SCTP, or BICC over M3UA_4096 only. The default value is Common Office. Signaling type It is valid when Office Type is set to Common Office. The value options are as follows: Non-BICC signaling BICC over MTP3/M3UA_272 BICC over MTP3B BICC over SCTP BICC over M3UA_4096 IMS Ofc NGN Ofc The default value is Non-BICC signaling. BICC Signaling type It is valid when Office Type is set to Mix Office. The value options are as follows: BICC over MTP3/M3UA_272 BICC over SCTP BICC over M3UA_4096 The parameter is mandatory. There is no default value. MOD OFC The parameters of MOD OFC involved in this service are the same as those of ADD OFC. All the parameters of MOD OFC do not have default values. When modifying an office type, you must comply with the following rules: To modify the value of Office Type from Mix Office to Common Office, do as follows:

If you modify an office direction with both ISUP/TUP signaling and BICC signaling to the one with only BICC signaling by modifying Office Type, ensure that the value

of Signaling type is the same as that of BICC signaling type and no ISUP trunk group is configured for the common office direction.

If you modify an office direction with both ISUP/TUP signaling and BICC signaling to the one with only ISUP/TUP signaling by modifying Office Type, ensure that Signaling type is set to Non-BICC signaling (instead of IMS Ofc and NGN Ofc). In addition, you must ensure that the following conditions are met: If you modify the value of Signaling type from BICC over SCTP to Non-BICC signaling, ensure that no SCTP link or BICC trunk group exists. If you modify the value of Signaling type from BICC over MTP3/M3UA_272 to Non-BICC signaling, ensure that no BICC trunk group exists.

Condition 1

Condition 2

To modify the value of Office Type from Common Office to Mix Office, do as follows:

If you modify an office direction with only ISUP/TUP signaling to the one with both ISUP/TUP signaling and BICC signaling by modifying Office Type, you can modify the value of Signaling type to only BICC over MTP3/M3UA_272, BICC over SCTP, or BICC over M3UA_4096. If Signaling type is set to IMS Ofc or NGN Ofc, you cannot modify the value of Office Type to Mix Office. If you modify an office direction with only BICC signaling to the one with both ISUP signaling and BICC signaling by modifying Office Type, ensure that the value of BICC Signaling type (after modification) is the same as that of Signaling type (before modification).

LST OFC LST OFC is used to query the information of the office direction data record in the configuration database.

ISUP Module
When you run ADD N7TG to add an ISUP trunk group before enabling this service, if Signaling type of ADD OFC is not set to Non-BICC signaling, you will fail to add the ISUP trunk group. When you run ADD N7TG to add an ISUP trunk group after enabling this service, if Signaling type of ADD OFC is not set to Non-BICC signaling and Office Type is set to Common Office, you will fail to add the ISUP trunk group. When you run ADD N7TG to add an ISUP trunk group after enabling this service, if Signaling type of ADD OFC is not set to Non-BICC signaling and Office Type is set to Mix Office, you will succeed in adding the ISUP trunk group. The rules for setting other parameters are the same as those used before this service is enabled.
