7、mploy different methods to control the MG internal connections. An MG may save transcoding resources by autonomously connecting the terminations in the same MG but different contexts directly to each other. However, in some special applications (e.g., test) this autonomous behaviour may not be desir

8、ed. Not all MGs support this autonomous behaviour, nor do they all support terminations being connected internally. Such a mix of behaviour leads to interoperability issues. This Recommendation contains a H.248 package to determine the MG internal connection capability and to set the appropriate MG

9、internal connection behaviour where necessary. Source ITU-T Recommendation H.248.46 was approved on 13 January 2007 by ITU-T Study Group 16 (2005-2008) under the ITU-T Recommendation A.8 procedure. ii ITU-T Rec. H.248.46 (01/2007) FOREWORD The International Telecommunication Union (ITU) is the Unite

10、d Nations specialized agency in the field of telecommunications. The ITU Telecommunication Standardization Sector (ITU-T) is a permanent organ of ITU. ITU-T is responsible for studying technical, operating and tariff questions and issuing Recommendations on them with a view to standardizing telecomm

11、unications on a worldwide basis. The World Telecommunication Standardization Assembly (WTSA), which meets every four years, establishes the topics for study by the ITU-T study groups which, in turn, produce Recommendations on these topics. The approval of ITU-T Recommendations is covered by the proc

12、edure laid down in WTSA Resolution 1. In some areas of information technology which fall within ITU-Ts purview, the necessary standards are prepared on a collaborative basis with ISO and IEC. NOTE In this Recommendation, the expression “Administration“ is used for conciseness to indicate both a tele

13、communication administration and a recognized operating agency. Compliance with this Recommendation is voluntary. However, the Recommendation may contain certain mandatory provisions (to ensure e.g. interoperability or applicability) and compliance with the Recommendation is achieved when all of the

14、se mandatory provisions are met. The words “shall“ or some other obligatory language such as “must“ and the negative equivalents are used to express requirements. The use of such words does not suggest that compliance with the Recommendation is required of any party. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS ITU

H.248.46 (01/2007) 1 ITU-T Recommendation H.248.46 Gateway control protocol: Connection capability control package 1 Scope This Recommendation defines a package that allows a MGC to determine and control whether the MG allows the application

20、of optimization mechanisms with regard to efficiency maximization of MG data-path resources, and/or optimization of QoS/performance metrics (e.g., MG transfer delay, speech quality, etc.), to the MG internal connection. Dedicated MGC implementations may not resolve cascaded contexts, therefore would

21、 benefit from using this package to determine if MGs are capable of this behaviour. MG may then simplify the internal connection of intentionally created and connected contexts in series under strict control of the MGC. The data path is the path that data flows from the ingress side to the egress si

22、de of the user plane which connects the two participants of a call. It is the MGs physical implementation of the abstract H.248 connection model. When the ingress and the egress are on the same MG, it is known as the “Internal connection“. This is illustrated in a 2-termination single context config

23、uration, where termination A is a TDM termination with G.711 encoded and termination B is an IP/RTP termination G.723.1 encoded; the data path may include the following steps: 1) E1/T1 decoding (media stream taken from correct timeslot); 2) Transport conversion (e.g., TDM to packet); 3) G.711 decodi

24、ng; 4) G.723.1 encoding; 5) RTP encoding; 6) IP packetization; 7) IP packet routing. Such a configuration results when a TDM call is received on a MGC/MG and the destination of the call is on another MGC/MG, and the connection between these is IP based. However, the data path in a MG is not constrai

25、ned to a single context/termination configuration. If for example the TDM call is received and the destination (also TDM) of the call is on the same MG (a separate MGC may control this), then the data path will be extended as such: 1) E1/T1 decoding (media stream taken from correct timeslot); 2) Tra

26、nsport conversion (e.g., TDM to packet); 3) G.711 decoding; 4) G.723.1 encoding; 5) RTP encoding; 6) IP packetization; 7) IP packet routing; 8) IP packet reception; 9) IP un-packetization; 10) RTP decoding; 11) G.723.1 decoding; 2 ITU-T Rec. H.248.46 (01/2007) 12) G.711 encoding; 13) Transport conve

27、rsion (e.g., packet to TDM); 14) E1/T1 encoding (media stream sent to correct timeslot). The additional steps (8-14) are largely the inverse of the previous steps (1-7) and as such cancel each other out. In order to optimize the data path, the MG could perform step (1) and (14) and successfully have

28、 media flow between the originator and the destination of the call. For each of these steps, the MG may have an internal means of addressing the function that performs the appropriate step. This is NOT the same address as any of those used by the H.248 connection model, but will be derived from the

29、model. The MG can use these internal addresses to perform optimizations. The MG-internal connection optimization may be based on connection information given by termination/context data and/or other internal resource usage data, but do not require call related information like call control informati

30、on from analog line signalling (Annex E.9 of ITU-T H.248.1) or channel associated signalling (ITU-T H.248.25, ITU-T H.248.28, ITU-T H.248.29) or DCME signalling (ITU-T H.248.42) or detected Digit strings (in case of enabled DigitMaps). That means for instance, MG-internal connection optimization is

31、not using address information from call/session control signalling. However, it is not in the scope of this Recommendation to describe how the MG-internal data path is addressed or how this is derived from the H.248 connection model as these are MG implementation/hardware specific. As the H.248 conn

32、ection model does not directly operate on the data path but by abstraction, the MG is responsible for determining the optimization mechanisms that may be applied to the data path. As such this package is also applicable for terminations with associated bearer control protocols (BCP) like Q.2630.x si

33、gnalling for AAL2 terminations or ITU-T Q.1970/ITU-T Q.1990 for IP terminations. (Termination-associated) BCPs could for instance delay internal connection optimizations, but this package may be in general also applied for such kind of terminations. In order to facilitate data-path optimization, thi

34、s Recommendation defines a H.248 package in order to determine the MG internal connection capability and to set the appropriate MG internal connection behaviour (Notes 1 and 2). Whilst the properties of the package may apply to all termination types, the optimizations that can be performed are data-

35、path dependent. NOTE 1 Only MG-internal connections are considered. That means that the only MG external connections loops that can be realized internally to the MG are optimized. Example of MG external connections loop: Context Cid1 with Tid1(type $) and Tid2(type IP) and 2nd context Cid2 with Tid3

36、(type IP) and Tid4(type $), and IP source/destinations addresses of Tid2 and Tid3 are so, that there would be an IP bearer connection between Tid2 and Tid3. NOTE 2 There are specific connection models with explicit internal terminations, e.g., cascaded context model according to clause 13.7.5 of b-E

37、TSI TS 123 205. There are consequently MG internal connections established (there are three in the Multi-Party supplementary service example of b-ETSI TS 123 205). Such specific context models could benefit from this package, i.e., are also in the scope of this Recommendation. This package may be us

38、ed by physical MGs (PMG) which utilize the VMG concept. According to H.248.1 procedures, there is one control association between a MGC and VMG; thus the use of the package is for a single VMG instance. However there may be multiple MGCs controlling VMGs in a single PMG. In case of multiple VMGs, th

39、ere may be a superior instance on the PMG level having knowledge about resource information and usage of all VMGs (instantiated on PMG). Such a function would be then associated with this package, but the function itself is out of scope of this Recommendation. In this case, data-path optimizations m

40、ay occur across VMGs according to the internal connection capability and internal connection behaviour properties associated with each of the VMGs. For example, if a PMG discovers that a data path occurs across two of its VMGs and their associated contexts and these contexts are allowed to be optimi

41、zed, then the PMG may optimize the path across both VMGs. However, if the contexts on one of the VMGs were marked that optimizations were not allowed then, only the path on the other VMG may be optimized. ITU-T Rec. H.248.46 (01/2007) 3 Parallel operation of multiple profiles per PMG or VMG, with di

42、fferent support of this package in each profile, is principally possible, but MAY affect the degree of application of this package. 2 References The following ITU-T Recommendations and other references contain provisions which, through reference in this text, constitute provisions of this Recommenda
