When a subscriber calls to another subscriber first its request goes to the nearest switching
center that is PSTN (Public Switching Telecommunication Network). Then it processes the
caller and subscriber’s number if it exists in the same BSC (Base Station Controller) then call
setup is completed.
If subscriber is not in the same BSC then call transfer to MSC (Mobile Switching Centre) then
it transfers the call to prior BSC then call setup is completed.
If Caller calls to a mobile subscriber then call transfer is done by MTSO(Mobile Telephone
Switching Office)
now call transfer is done on BTS (Base Transceiver Station) and call setup is completed.

13. SSNC-Signaling System Network Control
The Signaling System Network Control (SSNC) is the innovative component for high-powered SS7 signaling in
EWSD. Due to its configuration flexibility it can be deployed as a signaling end point (SEP), integrated signaling
transfer point (STP), signaling gateway (SG), or a combination of these functionalities.
The SSNC allows the separation of signaling from bearer and SS7 transfer and the conversion to all kinds of
underlying packet technologies like Internet protocol (IP) and asynchronous transfer mode (ATM). Beside that, the
SSNC can also work as a powerful Signaling Relay Point (SRP) and as a Number Portability (NP) Server for all
kind of number portability scenarios.
This enables a carrier grade service package to be offered to
multimedia users connected to EWSD:
Multiple SS7 Networks
High-Speed Signaling Links (HSL)
MTP Loadsharing
Global Title Translation (GTT)
MTP Route Verification Test (MRVT)
14. SSNC- Structure
T The ATM bridge processor, type C
(AMPC) is the interface between the ATM equipment on the ASN and the coordination
processor (CP113). It converts packet-oriented data flows from the ATM area to the CP
communication mode and vice versa. For functional purposes the AMPC belongs to the
SSNC, but it is located in the module frame of the CP.
The MP is connected to the internal transport system
via a high-speed ATM interface and provides optional external IP interfaces.The MP
hardware platform is the foundation for different software applications.
The line interface card (LIC) connects the SSNC to
the SS7 networks via up to 8 E1/DS1 links. The LICs are operated in a one-to-one
redundancy mode. They are connected with the internal transport system via a highspeed
ATM interface.
The internal transport system is implemented
via an ATM switching fabric and thus overcomes the limitations of conventional bus
systems. With its bandwidth of up to 20 Gbit/s, it provides ample capacity for future growth
of the system.
The hardware part consists of the following major components:
Main processor (MP):-
Line interface card (LIC):-
ATM switching network (ASN):-
ATM bridge processor, type C (AMPC):-

20. ISDN-Integrated Service Digital Network
ISDN Access Types
The ISDN standards define various services (bearer and tele services) and additional supplementary
services, which can be controlled by the subscriber by means of the functional and/or keypad protocol.
Basic access (BA)
Primary rate access
(PA)
Basic and primary rate access can be provided on the copper wire pairs
of existing subscriber lines as well as on parts of optical fibers.
The ISDN primary rate access is used for connecting larger ISDN private
branch exchanges, and provides 30 communication channels (B-channels)
and one signaling channel (D-channel). It is commonly referred to as
“30B+D”. Operating speeds for the B-channel are the same as for BA. The
D-channel provides for 64 Bits/s and is only used for signaling.
In contrast to existing public switched telephone networks, ISDN provides the
opportunity to operate a variety of different services over the same access line
(basic access), e.g. interrogating the newest products on the market via
videotex and simultaneously discussing them on the other channel.
21. Signaling System No. 7
SS7 PROTOCOL STACK
The hardware and software functions of the SS7 protocol are divided into functional abstractions called "levels". These
levels map loosely to the Open Systems Interconnect (OSI) 7-layer model defined by the International Standards
Organization (ISO).
