SS7 is a global standard for telecommunications that defines procedures and protocols for exchanging information between network elements to setup, route, and control calls. It uses a dedicated digital signaling network and 56/64 kbps signaling links. There are three main types of signaling points: SSPs that originate/terminate calls, STPs that route traffic, and SCPs that determine call routing. The protocol has multiple layers including MTP for transport, SCCP for addressing, and applications like ISUP for call control and TCAP for database queries.
Signaling System No. 7 (SS7) is a set of telephony signaling protocols developed in 1975, which is used to set up and tear down most of the world's public switched telephone network (PSTN) telephone calls.
We are going to introduce it very quickly.

Channel Capacity and Uniform/Non-Uniform Signaling For FSO ChannlsAishwary Singh
This work considers the design of capacity approaching, non-uniform optical intensity signaling in the presence of average and peak amplitude constraints. It is known that the capacity achieving input distribution is discrete with a finite number of mass points, finding it requires complex non-linear optimization at every SNR. A simple expression for a capacity-approaching distribution is derived via source entropy maximization.

SIP - More than meets the eye
Speakers:
Ofer Cohen - VOIP Group Leader, LivePerson
Yossi Maimon - VOIP Technical Leader, LivePerson
An Introduction to the SIP protocol.
SIP Position in telecommunication networks and the content services.
What is SIP:
The Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) is a signaling communications protocol, widely used for controlling multimedia communication sessions such as voice and video calls over Internet Protocol (IP) networks.
The protocol defines the messages that are sent between peers which govern establishment, termination and other essential elements of a call. SIP can be used for creating, modifying and terminating sessions consisting of one or several media streams. SIP can be used for two-party (unicast) or multiparty (multicast) sessions. Other SIP applications include video conferencing, streaming multimedia distribution, instant messaging, presence information, file transfer, fax over IP and online games.

Signaling System No. 7 is a set of telephony signaling protocols developed in 1975, which is used to set up and tear down telephone calls in most parts of the world-wide public switched telephone network.
What is Signaling?Common Channel Signaling Modes?What is SS7?
A digital switch is a device that handles digital signals generated at or passed through a telephone company central office and forwards them across the company's backbone network. ... A centrex is a digital switch at the central office that manages to switch for the private company from the central office.

An Investigation on Standards and Applications of Signalling System No.7irjes
Signaling system 7 (SS7) is the standard communication system that has been used to control public telephone networks since 1980s. Also to control the GSM network (for related and not related circuit signal), SS7 technology later offers advanced intelligent network features.SS7 network are now interconnecting with and operating on Internet data network (SS7 over IP). Based on signaling system- No.7 , a device named REMOTE CONTROL OBSERVER has been developed. The purpose of this device is to start, switch off, open, lock, break down and display the location of the vehicle on the electronic map which is fixed inside it; also it enables the Security Department to locate the place and direction of vehicle inside the GSM Network. The device is consists of a screen (displays the electronic map), and a box consists of a device similar to the cellular phone (with few differences ) , batteries and electronic circuit used to break down the electrical circuit of the vehicle ,where the device is subscribed with the GSM Network. The main advantage of this device is to use the available technologies and applications with adding and amending some of the programs and tasks for cellular phone and using the data base of the Home Location Register (HLR) and Visitor Location Register (VLR) by connecting a terminal to enable the user to search for any vehicle.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.
