Limitation of MTP Transmission

The signaling point code is not the standard international code,

it is only effective within a certain network.

The limited capacity of the signaling point code (14-bit is

specified by CCITT) also limits the number of the signaling point to be marked.
The 4-bit SI can not satisfy the increased requirements of the

modern communication as well, since it can only be assigned to sixteen different user parts.
MTP can only provide the connectionless transmission.

The Location of SCCP in CCS7

When SCCP and MTP are combined together, they are called as NSP (Network Service Part). SCCP and MTP-3 both locate in the network layer of the OSI model.

Application Features of SCCP

Enable to transfer both circuit-related and non-circuit-related

signaling messages in telecommunication networks.

Provide enhanced addressing and routing functions, and

enable to achieve the direct transmission between different CCS7 networks.

Enable to provide both connectionless service and connection-

oriented service.

Service Functions of SCCP Network

There are two kinds of service provided by the SCCP protocol:

Connectionless Service 0. Basic connectionless class 1. In-sequence delivery connectionless class Connection-oriented Service 2. Basic connection-oriented class 3. Flow control connection-oriented class

Connectionless Service

In the connectionless service, the routing information must be contained in each data packet.

No logical connection is established between the end

nodes.

Connectionless Service
The connectionless SCCP offers two services:

The class 0 service allows the SCCP to insert SLS values randomly,

or with the aim to achieve an appropriate load sharing within the

underlying MTP network. The class 1 service requires the SCCP to insert the same SLS for all the SCCP-SDUs (service data unit) associated with given parameters "sequence control" and "called address" .

Connection-oriented Service
Connection-oriented service is a way to realize the exchange of

signaling information by establishing a logical signaling connection between the network service users.
The logical signaling connection is achieved by distributing a local

reference number to the signaling messages belonging together.

Addressing and Routing Functions of SCCP

Address in SCCP comprises three elements:

DPC

Global Title (GT)

Sub-System Number (SSN)

Addressing and Routing Functions of SCCP

There are two basic categories of SCCP routing

GT

DPC+SSN

Addressing and Routing Functions of SCCP

An example

From SPA to SPD, If DPC+SSN routing is adopted by SCCP, in the Called Party Address of SCCP message, DPC is point code of SPD, while SSN depends on the different requirements. The message is sent to STPB or STPC, the Called Party Address is not necessary to be translated by STP. If GT routing is adopted by SCCP, in the Called Party Address of SCCP message, GT is the information of SPD. Because GT cant be identified by MTP, actually, DPC should be included in the SCCP message, in this case, DPC is point code of STP. The message is sent to STPB or STPC, the Called Party Address is necessary to be translated to the relevant point code and/or SSN by STP.
