1.1 Network Switching Technology

Within wide area network, network switching technology sends data to destination through
switching node which is unclear of the data content and only provides the switching facilities
to transfer the data.
Figure 1-1 displays a simplified network.
Port device for communication is called station which could be computer, terminal,
telephone and other devices. Device providing data switching is called node which
connects to each other and forms a topological structure. Every station connects to a
node, and the node collection is called a communication network.

ZXSS10 SS1b System Description
Figure 1-1 A Simple Communication Network
In a switching communication network, data enters into a station, switched from node to
node and finally routed to destination. As shown in Figure 1-1, data sent from station A to
station F is sent to node 4, passing through node 5, 6 or node 7, 6 and then reaches the
destination. This simply network shows:
l
Some nodes only connect to other nodes, such as node 5 and 7, whose task is only
to switch data internally. Other nodes connects to one or more station, apart from
switching function, they receives data from adjacent stations and send data to related
station.
Links between node and node are multiplexed. Both frequency division multiplexing
(FDM) and time-division multiplexing (TDM) are available. Not all the nodes have
a straight link between them. It is desirable that there are more than one possible
channel between each pair of stations, which can enhance the network reliability.
In a wide area network, two kinds of equivalent technologies, circuit switching and packet
switching, are used. Due to the fact that the SSs primary bearer networks are based on
the packet-switching network, this manual mainly introduces packet switching.
1.2 Traditional Telephone Network

Traditional telephone network adopts circuit exchange technology characterized by
a fixed-bandwidth communication circuit allocated to communication parties, such as
64kbits/s. Usually, the communication network based on circuit switching technology is
switched circuit network (SCN), for example, the switching network of PSTN exchange
and ISDN exchange is a typical switched circuit network.
For traditional circuit switching technology, communication comprises three basic
processes: circuit establishment, session and circuit release.
1-2
SJ-20100630164932-002|2010-07-15
Chapter 1 SoftSwitch Technology Fundamentals
On user-side, SCN signaling means includes user signaling with Z interface and DSS1
signaling with BRI/PRI interfaces.
Between exchanges, SCN signaling means includes associated signaling means (China
No. 1) and common channel signaling (SS7 signaling). The signaling path of associated
signaling is the path while common channel adopts specific channel for transferring.
Currently, basic voice service and additional service are provided by exchange devices.
Intelligent service is realized by the combination of traditional telephone network and
intelligent network, such as 300 card number service, 600 wide area group service and
800 free phone service.
1.3 Packet Switching Technology

Data is transferred by short packet in packet switched network. The typical upper limit of
packet length is 1000 bytes (or Octet). If a long report is waiting for sending in a source
station, it is cut into a serial of packet as shown in Figure 1-2.
Figure 1-2 Packet
Each packet contains part of the user data (or an entire short report) and some control
information. Packet is received and saved at every node of the path, and then sent to next
node. Compare with circuit switching, packet switching has below advantages:
l
High line efficiency: Packets share the links from node to node. Packets are sent
through links as soon as possible in alignment. For circuit exchange, the time on
links between node and node is pre-allocated by synchronous time-division multi-path
multiplex method, the allocated time slot is not allowed to be used by other connection
even though it is idle.
Packet switching network realizes data speed conversion. Two stations with different
transmission rates are able to exchange packets, because each station connects to
its communication root node at its own speed.
Some calls are blocked due to big traffic load in circuit exchange network, which
means that network rejects new connection request before load is decreasing, but in
1-3
SJ-20100630164932-002|2010-07-15
packet switching network, packets are still to be received with increased transmission
delay.
Priority is applied. If there are many packets are waiting for delivery in queue, packet
with higher priority is to be sent firstly.
Usually, packet switching does not send the whole report, instead, it divides the whole
report into many packets saved in memory to speed up the transmission.
1.4 IP Telephony Technology

IP telephone technology integrates IP network and telephone network, which is used
both by normal telephone users and computer users. IP network and telephone network
have varied specialities; IP network is to delivery data information by packet switching
technology while telephone network is to delivery analog voice signals by circuit exchange
technology.
For circuit exchange, one channel is occupied once the phone is put through, usually, only
one party is talking and the other is listening, which only utilizes 50 percent of the circuit.
In this way, the circuit has lower utilization ratio.
For packet switching technology, the information to be sent is divided into many packets
with address symbols according to the length, and then these packets are delivery
by storage-forwarding methods. The packets do not occupy this path exclusively, but
sent when path is idle. Many sessions share one channel asynchronously. Meanwhile,
digit compression technique makes higher circuit utilization ratio than circuit exchange.
Besides, the billing of packet switching has no relation with the distance which reduces
toll IP expense greatly.
1.5 IP Voice Encoding and Compressing

Transmit real-time voice is different from normal data delivery for the related application
devices must meet real time requirement, including enough bandwidth. As a result, voice
compression technology is the ley to the IP voice communication for the lower-speed IP
network. Below are some frequent-used voice encoding and compression methods.
l
PCM
PCM (Pulse Code Modulation) is earlist digit voice technology which includes no
compression arithmetic. It transfers voice signals with 64kbps bandwidth; sampling
for 8000 times/second, PCM is applied in G.711 standard.
CELP
So far, CELP (Code Excited Linear Prediction) is most advanced technology. CELP
compares analog signal sampling and pre-defined.
CS-ACELP
CS-ACELP (Conjugate Structure-Algebraic Code Excited Linear Prediction), or
named G.729, is the 8kbps voice compression and coding standard by ITU.
1-4
SJ-20100630164932-002|2010-07-15
Chapter 1 SoftSwitch Technology Fundamentals
CS-ACELP is able to encode 8kbps voice signal bit streams (ordinary PCM signal is
64 kbps), its badwidth is 8 times as efficient as PCM and 4 times as efficient as 32
kbps ADPCM.
1.6 SS Origination Background

There are two independent networks, PSTN network and data network which provide voice
service and basic data service separately.
Separated network and maintenance/operation keep the overall cost on a relatively high
level, thus, network integration is the main tendency in the future.
The scheme to help transition from current network to NGN plays a vital role. SoftSwitch
solution based on SS technology becomes a mainstream for this transition.

2.2.4 Control Layer

The control layer refers to the SoftSwitch control equipment that implements integrated
control processing functions such as call processing & control, access protocol adaptation,
interconnection and interworking and provides an application support platform for the entire
network. Functions and features of the control layer are as follows:
l
The ZXSS10 SS1b is large-capacity SoftSwitch control equipment that can process
millions of calls.
2-4
SJ-20100630164932-002|2010-07-15
In the SoftSwitch architecture, the ZXSS10 SS1b is the core device independent
of the bottom-layer bearer protocols and completes the functions such as call
control, protocol adaptation and processing, media gateway access control, resource
allocation, protocol processing, routing, authentication and Call Detail Record (CDR).
The ZXSS10 SS1b can provide all primary call services, supplementary services and
point-to-point multimedia services of the PSTN. Through cooperating with the service
layer equipment SCP and the application server, it can also provide users with traditional intelligent services, value-added IP services, diverse third-party value-added
services and new intelligent services.
The ZXSS10 SS1b can place user data in to its bulit-in database or in to the Smart
Home Location Register (SHLR).
2.2.5 Service Layer

The service layer provides the network with applications and services, customer-oriented
integrated intelligent services and service customization.
1. ZXWN SHLR
The ZXWN SHLR is developed by adding some functions of the fixed network HLR
based on the standard HLR of the 3G mobile network. It stores the logical numbers
and physical numbers of fixed network subscribers as well as their mapping relations
and the information such as intelligent service subscription data of fixed network
subscribers. It provides integrated and centralized subscriber data processing for
mixed number assignment of the local network, Number Portability (NP) services,
global intelligent service triggering, and transition from PHS to 3G and convergence
of the fixed network and the mobile network.
2. ZXUP10
As the control point for value-added services and IN services in the SoftSwitch network,
the ZXUP10 interacts with the call control entity to implement call control. The Service
Switching Point (SSP) of the SoftSwitch or the SSP of the intelligent network can serve
as the call control entity.
The ZXUP10 can control SIP calls of the SoftSwitch. Such calls can be initiated by the
SoftSwitch or by the ZXUP10. The SIP protocol is applied at the interface between the
ZXUP10 and the SoftSwitch. SIP protocol is used to establish, terminate and manage
end-to-end call sessions.
Upon receipt of a call from the SoftSwitch, the ZXUP10 invokes the corresponding
value-added service according to the obtained call information. It operates the call
according to the service execution needs, for example, it redirects the call, accepts
and transfers the call or processes the call as the agent.
In addition to the above functions, the ZXUP10 supports initiating calls to the
SoftSwitch, that is, it can initiate a call in the place of the user to the SoftSwitch
according to the request of third party application such as Web, Email, push or instant
messaging, so as to implement call control based on web and messages.
2-5
SJ-20100630164932-002|2010-07-15
The ZXUP10 is an integrated system platform. Using the Parlay gateway as the core
device, it consists of multiple devices such as the media server, application server,
Text To Speech (TTS) server, O console and signaling gateway.
Devices contained in the ZXUP10 are listed in the following:
l Parlay gateway
The Parlay gateway is the core device of the ZXUP10 product. It converges and
encapsulates different bottom-layer network resources, externally provides open
APIs based on the Parlay protocol and offers the platform for developing third
partys services. The Parlay gateway is an independent component irrelevant to
the SoftSwitch in the control layer, so the services are separate from call control
and new services can be easily introduced. Structurally, the Parlay gateway
is divided into three functional modules: Protocol adapter, basic function and,
service control.
l
Application server
This is the server on which service applications run. The services running on it
are generally developed by third party application providers. Multiple application
servers can be connected to and use the resources of the same Parlay gateway
but they run their own services and are logically independent from each another.
The application server and the Parlay gateway may be separated or combined
in the same server. The Parlay API is used between the application server and
Parlay gateway.
Media server
The Media Server (MS) is an independent device provided by the ZXUP10
system especially for the media resource function. It provides media processing
functions in intelligent services, including resource functions, communication
functions and management & maintenance functions (e.g. collection and
decoding of DTMF signals, signal tone generation and sending, announcement
transmission, conference function and conversion between codec algorithms).
TTS server
The Text To Speech (TTS) server is a device used for voice synthesis and
converting text information into voice to play to telephone users.
VIP customer (VIC) system

The ZXSS10 VIC system is a new service provision system based on the
SoftSwitch. Multiple functions are developed on the basis of the old standard
attendant console, including instant charging and hotel system interface, to meet
the communication and service management requirements of the VIP customers
better.
The call control between VIC and SS is performed via the simple and resilient
SIP protocol, featuring with straightforward service communication and strong
expansibility. The VIC attendant console system can provide the standard
2-6
SJ-20100630164932-002|2010-07-15
console, simple console and computer console.

cooperate with each other if required.
l
They work separately or
SIP short message center

In the SIP short message center, the processing of signaling and services are
separated via different modules hence greatly promoting the system processing
capability and system work division.
SIP short message center expands the service provision of the short message
system via overlapping modules. The broad expansion scale and simple
implementation mode provide perfect solution for the continuous function update.
SIP short message center can expand capacity for specific module in the system if
the upgrade is required by the customer. The resilient capacity expansion modes
of the short message center minimize the influence on the system and therefore
protect the customer investment and system expansibility to the maximum extent.
WiMAX
World Interoperability for Microwave Access (WiMAX) is the wireless Metropolitan
Area Network (MAN) technology based on the IEEE802.16 standards. The ZTE
WiMAX system supports the encryption technology specified according to the
802.16e standards, encrypting the subscriber traffic and signaling to guarantee
the confidentiality and integrity of the user data on the air interface. The ZTE
WiMAX system supports QoS. The service provider can customize various
policies, such as subscriber priority, bandwidth assignment on demand and delay
or jitter requirements.
2.3 System Functions

A network based on SoftSwitch technology has the basic features of a Next Generation
Network (NGN), which can provide integrated multimedia services such as data, voice
and video in a centralized manner. Currently, the SoftSwitch system primarily offers

3.1 Working Principles

ZXSS10 SS1b adopts the specified hardware platform of card structure based on Ethernet.
Processor modules connect to each other by high-speed Ethernet. Main processor in
system slot controls and allocates job for each processor board. ZXSS10 SS1b hardware
logic structure is as shown in Figure 3-1.
Figure 3-1 ZXSS10 SS1b Hardware Logic Structure
As system core, processor module performs functions like network control, service
generation. Processor modules connect to each other by high-speed Ethernet. Main
processor in system slot controls and allocates job for each processor board.
Network interface module provides external interfaces of IP network and gateway devices,
it also provides interior interfaces of application server, database, authentication server,
management/maintenance terminals. For the sake of security, the external and interior
interfaces are independent.
3-1
SJ-20100630164932-002|2010-07-15
System main processing module is responsible for the version loading, alarm disposal of
each module board, communication with background and collects the backup/overstock
bills from processor.
Core switching network provides interior bus which is constructed by high-speed Ethernet.
Compared with the traditional switch, the hardware structure of the SoftSwitch control
equipment is simpler. It comprises the foreground real-time processing part, background
(OSS, Database Server) and switched Ethernet unit (SSN) used for interconnecting all
internal modules. Figure 11 shows the connection of ZXSS10 SS1b. SSN units are
connected as shown in Figure 3-2. The description of each part is as follows:
l
The SUN work station can be used as the background data server and the 1+1
redundancy of servers is supported. Also, the PC server can be used as the data
server.
Figure 3-2 Connection of ZXSS10 SS1b
The following describes the internal working principles of the ZXSS10 SS1b by using a
common call handling procedure. The tandem model within the same SS domain is as
shown in Figure 3-3.

Call Handling Procedure

When subscriber 8111004 calls subscriber 86660005, the internal processing procedure
of the ZXSS10 SS1b is as follows.
1. LS1 originates an IAM message to the SSs NIC board through an SCTP association
between the SS and SG.
2. For this SCTP association, the corresponding IP, PORT, SPC are combined to form a
forwarding table, and this table is stored in the NIC. Upon receipt of a message packet,
the NIC forwards the message according to the source IP address/port and destination
IP/port.
3-3
SJ-20100630164932-002|2010-07-15
Note:
The NICs forwarding table: during boot, the NIC performs inter-board communication
with the SC and acquires related configuration, the protocol forwarding table (including
the SCTP forwarding table), and so forth. In this way, network port loading, protocol
stack task startup and other tasks are implemented. When the NIC is working, the
management task is responsible for updating and maintaining the data forwarding
table that is automatically created from the SS data configuration. For example, the
IAD or AGs forwarding table is created through a series of configuration (device
node->Zone->SPC number).
3. After the SPC handles the SCTP association, the SPC that handles M3UA associates
the CIC with the TGs TIDNAME by reading the OPC (signaling point code of LS1),
DPC (signaling point code of the SS) and CIC and forwards the IAM message to the
TGs SPC for handling.
4. The SS knows which AG, TG or OTHER SS is responsible for this call through the
IAM message and SSs digit route analysis. In the preceding example, TG2 acts as
the called party, and the SS notifies the TG2 of the H248 message generated by the
corresponding SPC. This message is forwarded to the network through the NIC.
5. The IAM is sent to the called end office (LS2) through negotiations between each board
of the SS. The internal flow of forwarding the H248 and SIP is similar to that of forwarding the ACM and ANM messages from the called end office.
3.2 ZXMSG9000 Working Principles

Deployed at the access layer of NGN, ZXMSG 9000 implements interconnections for
various communication networks, and provides access from terminals to IP core layer.
In terms of the system structure, ZXMSG 9000 can be classified into the central control unit,
circuit switch unit, universal service unit and media access unit. ZXMSG 9000s overall
structure principle is as shown in Figure 3-4.
3-4
SJ-20100630164932-002|2010-07-15
Figure 3-4 ZXMSG 9000 Working Principle Diagram
Working Principles when ZXMSG9000 Acts as a Media Gateway

When ZXMSG9000 acts as the media gateway, SoftSwitch can use H.248,MGCP and SIP
to control media gateways. The central control unit handles the media control protocol sent
from the SS, and then sends the converted internal control information to the media access
unit and circuit switch unit. In this way, voice coding/decoding, time slot connection, tone
playing and other operations can be implemented.
Media flows from the IP network first arrives at the route function unit (implement
convergence of ZXMSG 9000s internal media flows, provide external FE and GE
interfaces, and support OSPF,BGP and other route protocols). After being distributed
by the route function unit, media flows arrive at the media access units network
interface board, and then arrive at the MVTCA voice process board that provides voice
coding/decoding. Then, the conversion from IP format to circuit format for voice media
proceeds. After the conversion is complete, media flows are connected to the circuit
switch unit, switched to the media access units trunk boards, and then sent to PSTN. The
conversion of media flows from circuit format to IP format uses a reverse procedure.
Working Principles when ZXMSG9000 Acts as a Signaling Gateway

Acting as a signaling gateway, ZXMSG 9000 resides at the core layer of the packet switch
network, which can effectively implement signaling interconnections between the circuit
switch network and IP network. At the circuit switch network, ZXMSG 9000 receives and
3-5
SJ-20100630164932-002|2010-07-15
sends standard SS7 messages; at the packet switch network, ZXMSG 9000 converts SS7
messages to standard SIGTRAN protocol to implement interconnections with the SS. The
signaling flow direction is as follows.
1. Connected to ZXMSG 9000 through the MSIPI boards FE interface.
2. Signaling processing above the MTP3 layer is performed through the central control
unit (BCTC).
3. Switched to the media access units MSPB board through the internal Ethernet.
4. Switched to the MDTB board or MSDTB board, and then forwarded to SS7 network
through the MDTB/MSDTB.
The conversion from SIGTRAN protocol to SS7 messages uses a reverse procedure.
3.3 BGW Working Principles

As an independent access device, B200 is an integrated entity in previous NGN network.
B200 consists of two logic entities which are signaling disposal and media disposal. With
the development of IMS network and increasing user number, two logical entities in one
identical physical entity will result in working-unbalance, which means media entity is
affluent but signaling entity is overloaded. As a result, these two entities are divided
into two physical devices which enhance the handling stream. This separation, called
signaling media separation architecture, improves efficiency and meets the requirement
of big-capacity.
In signaling media separation architecture, logic entity handling signaling is called SPE
(Signal Portal Element), the other handling media is called MPE (Media Portal Element).
B200 has two deployment modes:
l
Two logic entities in one physical entity-integrated deployment, see Figure 3-5.
Figure 3-5 Integrated Deployment
SPE and MPE locate in different physical entities-separated deployment, see Figure
3-6.
3-6
SJ-20100630164932-002|2010-07-15
Figure 3-6 Separated Deployment
In separation structure, SPE and MPE functions are as follows:

l
SPE:
Go-between from terminal to SS/CSCF signaling path;
Organizer of signaling service disposal logic;
Manager and user of media resource;
MPE:
Go-between from terminal to media path of terminal path;
Implement media service disposal logic;
Provide media resources.
The working principle is shown in Figure 3-7.

Figure 3-7 Working Principles
1. User generates registration and calling, all registration and calling messages are sent
to SPE.
2. SPE notifies MPE to prepare media resources according to policy.
3-7
SJ-20100630164932-002|2010-07-15
3. SPE replaces media resources by media resources of calling terminal, and then sends
to core network.
4. Core network transfers to called side.
5. Called side replies its media contact address to core network;
6. Core network returns message to SPE devices.
7. SPE notifies the called media contact message to MPE.
8. SPE notifies caller about its allocated media resources.
9. Establish media links and media stream is able to communicate.
3.4 VIC Working Principles

are generated in allusion to eight management function servers. Its possible to
combine part of the management database.
Via packaged standard database visit interface (JDBC), system provides various
database system supports, including Oracle, Sybase, Sql-Server, MySql, etc.
Database system can not only run on the same server platform as network
management sever side, but also can run independently.
Client-Side
NetNumenN31 system supports 2 kinds of client-side which are GUI graphic interface
terminal and WEB browser terminal.
3-10
SJ-20100630164932-002|2010-07-15
GUI graphic interface terminal provides graphic interfaces displays of all the
management functions which are more user-friendly.
WEB browser terminals support users to access to network management center from
Internet or Intranet and perform necessary operation. JSP and Servlets on client-side
cooperate with management function server together to conduct management
function.
Modular Component Structure

NetNumenN31 system comprises of unified network management platform and network
elements processing module.
Both client-side and server are constituted based on network elements plus platform, each
network manager and management function module are embedded in system platform as
component.
Platform module includes the functions that have no relation with devices types, such as
topology, security and system management, etc. Its necessary to select all the device
types need to be managed, that is the parts which have no relations with devices in each
function modules and specially designed for users.
Each network elements manager provides detailed individualized operation in allusion to
certain network elements, such as configuration management, performance management,
and each element of alarm management has its customized content, select different
management device types, each element can be released or un-installed independently
through installation based on existed platform module.
Design of network elements plus platform can equipped the system with better modular
structure.
l
Each element manager has no impact on other manager and can realize the
management of elements. When certain element manager has defect, itll not
influence the system or other elements management function.
Element manager can be upgraded independently, when upgrading, its unnecessary
to interrupt normal operation and have no impact on other elements management
function.
When adding new device types, its only necessary to deploy elements manager
of new devices types in order to realize managing new devices types. During this
process, network system has to stop normal operation temporarily, even not to stop,
others management function received no impact.
3.6 Billing and Accounting Working Principles

Providing Detailed CDRs
Figure 3-10 shows the ZXSS10 SS1b charging system.
3-11
SJ-20100630164932-002|2010-07-15
Figure 3-10 ZXSS10 SS1b Charging System
1. The ZXSS10 SS1b foreground charging module, running on the ESPC/SPC and
ESC/SC boards, receives all detailed CDRs generated by the call service subsystems
on the ESPC/SPC and ESC/SC boards.
2. Store CDRs on the front-end subsystem (the ESC/SC board)
3. Forward CDRs to the back-end CDR server for storage/backup and future query
purposes. The original charging information provided includes the calling user
identification code, called user identification code, start time and time duration.
In abnormal cases (for example, if the back-end charging server shuts down or
communication between the front-end and back-end subsystems interrupts), each
shelf stores its own CDRs on the ESC/SC board and re-sends them after the charging
server reboots or communication returns to normal.
4. On the charging server, the CDR database backup and CDR file backup are
implemented. During exporting of CDRs to the charging server, you can convert
CDR formats according to requirements. CDRs can be generated periodically or
according to the pre-defined size. The location to transfer CDRs can be flexibly set.
One charging file can be simultaneously transferred to one or more locations. Before
different charging centers collect CDRs, CDRs should be stored into different file
folders by domain.
Supporting Various CDR Generation Modes

The ZXSS10 SS1b applies a multi-layer storage mechanism (memory buffer, file buffer,
charging server buffer and charging center storage) to the original charging information,
which guarantees CDR security. The charging server provides various CDR generation
modes for charging centers: timing mode, round-off mode, periodical mode and quantity
mode.
3-12
SJ-20100630164932-002|2010-07-15
Supporting Various CDR Format

The ZXSS10 SS1b charging server, a hardware platform based on the high-performance
PC server, supports dual server backup. The ZXSS10 SS1b provides various CDR
formats: ZXSS10 559byte common binary CDR format, ZXJ10 original CDR format, 97
international standard CDR format, 2002 international CDR format, and so forth.
Charging Interfaces
The ZXSS10 SS1b can connect to the charging center and transfer charging data (CDRs)
through a standard protocol. The charging center may use the following interface modes:
l
Radius interface: For the credit card or pre-paid card service, the SS uses the Radius
protocol to transfer charging data to the charging center during real time; moreover, it
has the real-time interruption function.
FTP interface: For common services, the charging center can use the FTP protocol
to collect charging data provided by the SS.
Accounting Interfaces
The ZXSS10 SS1b can use the accounting interface machine to interconnect with the
third-party accounting system. Subscriber data operations can be performed through
the accounting interface machine. Subscriber data that can be operated includes basic
data (account creation and deletion, suspension, power-on, and so forth), authorization
service data (call right, service application and deregisteration, and so forth) and service
customization data (modification and customization of specific service data).
The ZXSS10 SS1b supports the MML-type accounting interface. With the MML interface,
the SS interacts with the accounting system through the TCP/IP protocol. The accounting
system provides related accounting functions by invoking and executing a series of MMLs.
The accounting interface machine can manage multiple NEs; from a physical perspective,
it can be integrated with the network management interface system.
Any of the following modes can be used to implement communication between the
accounting interface machine and accounting system.
l
l
SOCKET programming mode: The accounting interface machine is a server; the

accounting system is a client; the communication port is provisionable.
Telnet mode: The accounting interface machine is a Telnet server; the accounting
system is a Telnet client; SOCKET mode is recommended.
The account interface machine is generally configured with dual network cards,
respectively connecting to the DCN network segment and service network segment. It is
primarily used to set up communication links between the maintenance interface machine
and NEs and between the maintenance interface machine and accounting system, as
well as receive MMLs sent from the accounting system.

4.1 Overview
ZXSS10 SS1b has a powerful service providing capability. The system uses the multi-layer
network architecture. It has the following features:
l
l
l
l
Service providing is independent of networks and media. Once a service is generated,

it can be shared by the whole network.
When a new service is introduced by the operator, the resilient creation environment
of service logic help the operator free of expensive hardware upgrade cost along with
other techniques and transportation cost.
Services can be resilient provided by developers, operators, software companies
licensed by operators and the third-party developers.
Compared with traditional service provisioning, operators can introduce new services
much more quickly with lower cost.
ZXSS10 SS1b supports four service providing methods:

1. ZXSS10 SS1b directly provides primary PSTN services, supplementary services, IP
Centrex services, point-to-point video and multi-party video services.
2. By interconnecting with the existing Service Control Point (SCP), the SS implements
traditional intelligent services by acting as a SSP.
The SS interconnects with the SCP by two means of the INAP (CS1 and CS2)/CAP
protocol.
3. Provide network intelligent services by interconnecting with the home location register
(HLR).
The subscriber data is universally managed by the HLR in a centralized way. The SS
interacts with the HLR through the MAP/MAP+ protocol and acquires the subscriber
intelligent service information. In this way, some new services (as shown below) hard
to be provided in the traditional fixed network can be conveniently provided.
l
Number-type services: number carrying and mixed number allocation

SJ-20100630164932-002|2010-07-15
Subscription-triggered intelligent services: calling non-number-type intelligent

services (such as the pre-paid service) and called-type intelligent services (such
as CRBT and simultaneous ringing)
4. By cooperating with the application server, the SS implements value-added services,
intelligent services and various multimedia services. By interconnecting with the MCU,
the SS provides the multi-point video communication services in a coordinate way.
4.2 Basic Call Services and Supplementary Services

The basic voice services refer to the service of which the major purpose is to ensure normal
conversation between subscribers (such as local, national, international auto outgoing and
incoming calls from and to various terminals), which include basic call services, PSTN
basic voice services, supplementary services and other voice services.
The basic call services are independently provided by the SS. Table 4-1 lists the PSTN
supplementary services the ZXSS10 SS1b supports.
Table 4-1 PSTN Supplementary Services
Service
Description
Call forwarding
Automatically forward calls to a phone to the temporarily specified phone

set. According to the actual needs of the subscriber, four services can be
provided: call forwarding on busy, call forwarding on no reply, call forwarding
unconditional (forwarding of all calls) and call forwarding on subscriber offline.
Toll prohibited in
After registering call forwarding, a subscriber can use this service so that calls
call forwarding
are not forwarded to toll numbers. This service needs to be used in conjunction
with call forwarding.
Forwarding of
After registering call forwarding, a subscriber can use this service so that
incoming toll
incoming calls other than tolls are forwarded while incoming tolls are
prohibited
intercepted. This service needs to be used in conjunction with call forwarding.
Call parking on
When a subscriber calls another subscriber that is on a call, the call is
busy
recorded. Within 20 minutes, if the subscriber wants to call that subscriber

again, the subscriber just needs to pick up the phone and wait for 5 seconds
without dialing any number.
Calling back on
When the called party is busy, the caller can hang up and wait. Once the phone
busy
of the called party is idle, an automatic callback can be made.
Call waiting
It is permitted that a subscriber in conversation is notified of an incoming call.

The subscriber can select to accept or ignore this waiting call. After accepting
it, the subscriber can switch conversation between these two callers. In this
case, one caller will be held to listen to the waiting music. The subscriber can
also disconnect a call and concentrate only on the other.
Absent subscriber
When there is an incoming call but the subscriber is out, the exchange can
service
provide voice service to reply the call for the subscriber so as to avoid repeated
dialing of the caller.

4. Intercept incoming calls with incomplete calling numbers or without calling
numbers.
Multiple DNs
The analog subscriber is provided with multiple numbers for just one phone. In
addition, there are different rings for different numbers.
Transfer service
When a subscriber is in conversation with the called party, the called party can
be held and another subscriber can be dialed so that the latter two subscribers
can converse with each other.
Call override
With this service, if the called party has registered do not disturb, absent
subscriber or call forwarding service, normal ringing is available too.
Emergency call
This function permits emergency calls on the call restricted phone set. The
override
service is valid for all subscribers and requires no special application.
Secretary service
After subscriber A activates this service, all incoming calls to subscriber A will
be first connected to another specified subscriber B. After being filtered by
subscriber B, the calls can be forwarded to subscriber A again through transfer
or handled by subscriber B directly. Subscriber B can correspond to multiple
subscriber As. Subscriber B provides the override function for the secretary
service of subscriber A, that is, calls from subscriber B to A will be directly
connected to subscriber A.
Virtual conference
In the data of the SoftSwitch control equipment, virtual conference access

codes can be set, including the password, maximum access number, start
and end time.
When such a conference is used, subscriber A dials the virtual conference
