9、TO4 Recommendation 1.312 / Q.1201 PRINCIPLES OF INTELLIGENT NETWORK ARCHITECTURE (1992) 1 Objectives, overall description 1.1 Motivation, objectives, scope of Intelligent Network 1.1.1 Motivution The term Intelligent Network (IN) is used to describe an architectural concept which is intended to be a

10、pplicable to all telecommunications networks. IN aims to ease the introduction of new services (Le. Universal Personal Telecommunication (Um), Virtual Private Network (VPN), Freephone, etc.) based on greater flexibility and new capabilities. IN Recommendations are motivated by the interests of telec

11、ommunication services providers to rapidly, cost effectively and differentially satisfy their existing and potential market needs for services. Also, these service providers seek to improve the quality and reduce the cost of network service operations and management. Additionally, current trends in

12、technology permit a greater degree of intelligence and greater freedom in die allocation of intelligence in the telecommunications network. For example, the improved mobility derived from miniaturization of electronic components allows for a greater degree of distributed functionality within and bet

13、ween service provider networks. Factors permitting such intelligence include: advances in digital transmission and switching, common channel signalling, distributed data processing, data base management and expert systems. 1.1.2 Objectives of Intelligent Network The objective of IN is to allow the i

14、nclusion of additional capabilities to facilitate provisioning of service, independent of the servicehetwork implementation in a multi-vendor environment. Service implementation independence allows service providers to define their own services independent of service specific developments by equipme

15、nt vendors. Network implementation independence aliows network operators to allocate functionality and resources within their nehvorks and to efficiently manage their nehvorks independent of network implementation specific developments by equipment vendors. 1.1.3 Scope of Intelligent Network Types o

16、f networks: IN is applicable to a wide variety of networks, including but not limited to: public switched telephone network (PSTN) mobile, packet switched public data network (ESPDN) and integrated services digital network (ISDN) - both narrow-band-ISDN (N-ISDN) and broadband-ISDN (B-ISDN). Type of

17、services: IN supports a wide variety of services, including supplementary services, and utilizes existing constraints on FIGURE 1 Relationship between the aspects of the standardization process 1.3.2.3 Area 3 - IN czrchitectcrre arid iriterfuces for each phuse In this area the specifications are pro

20、sets (CS) are defined as sets of IN capabilities which are to be subjects of standardization activities and for which the availability of Recommendations will be targeted for a particular evolution phase.

22、IGURE 3 Sequencing of Capability sets (CSs) 2 IN functional requirements 2.0 Introduction IN functional requirements arise as a result of the need to provide network capabilities for both - customer needs (service requirements); and - network operator needs (network requirements). A service user is

23、an entity external to the network that uses its services. A service is that which is offered by an Administration to its customers in order to satisfy a telecommunications requirement. Part of the service used by customers may be providedmanaged by other customers of the network. 4 Recommendation 1.

These service capabilities are also referred to as (telecommunication) services. Network requirements span the ability to create, deploy, operate and ma

26、Service requirements Network requirements FIGURE 4 Service requirements versus network requirements Service and network requirements can be identified for the following areas of servicehetwork capabilities: - Service creation: 4n activity whereby supplementary services are brought into being through

27、 service creation, service management, network management, service processing and network interworking. specification phase, development phase and verification phase. Service manugemeat: An activity to support the proper operation of a service and the administration of information relating to the us

28、erkustomer and/or the network operator. Service management can support the following processes: service development, service provisioning, service control, billing and service monitoring. Nenvork mcitiugemetit: An activity to support the proper operation of an IN-structured network. Service processi

29、ng: Consists of basic call and supplementary service processing which are the serial and/or parallel executions of network functions in a coordinated way, such that basic and supplementary services are provided to the customers. Network intenvorking: A process through which several networks (IN to I

30、N or IN to non-IN) cooperate to provide a service. - - - - Figure 5 gives a general overview of these capability areas including their relation to service and nehvork requirements. The network interworking capabilities are not shown in this figure as these are indirectly contained in the other capab

31、ility areas. 2.1 Service requirements 2.1.1 Overdl requirements The following requirements may also apply to existing nehvorks. Nevertheless, they are stated here to underline their importance when defining the IN architecture: - - it should be possible to access services by the usual user network i

32、nterface (e.g. POTS, ISDN); it should be possible to access services that span multiple networks; Recommendation 1.312 / Q.1201 (10/92) 5 9 4862573 0576833 373 - it should be possible to invoke a service on a cati-by-call basis or for a period of time, in the latter case the service may be deactivat

33、ed at the en8 of the period; it should be possible to perform some access control to a service; it should be easy to define and introduce services; it should be possible to support services involving calls between two or more parties; it should be possible to record service usage in the network (ser

34、vice supervision, tests, performance information, charging); it should be possible to provide services that imply the use of functions in several networks; it should be possible to control the interactions between different invocations of the same service. - - - - - - _._.-_ Telecommunication servic

Recommendation 1.312 / Q.1201 (10/92) 7 2.1.3.3 Service management during utilization phase This activity includes: activation, deactivation, service maintenance and service

42、 customization, after the service provisioning has taken place; service activation, which is the activity to make the service usable by a specific customer (e.g. call forwarding activation); service customization, which is the activity of setting up the appropriate service parameters to control the

43、operation of service to meet the specific needs of the customer (e.g. setting Call Distribution percentages); charging, which is mainly to collect data on service usage and to generate reports thereon for billing either on demand or automatically. It includes the alteration of charge within the fram

44、ework of agreement with a network operator. Other requirements include the preparation of customer-specific billing reports and data which are accessible to the customer; service monitoring, which provides the capability to collect and accumulate statistics on a given service with a view to determin

48、 With regard to the provision of basic and supplementary services, the IN concept is ?transparent? to the customer, i.e. the customer is unaware of whether a service is provided in an IN I 8 Recommendation 1.312 / 4.1201 (10/92) m 4862591 0576814 080 m way. This “transparency” basically implies that

49、, from a customers point of view, no service processing requirements c,m be identified that have specific reference to the IN as such. Notwithstanding this, the IN should be capable of supporting a broad range of basic and supplementary services. Service processing requirements can be identified for the following capabilities: - - The relationship between service capabilities and access capabilities is visualized in Figure 9. service capabilities th
