H248 Call Processing Flow

The document summarizes the call processing flow between an H.248 media gateway (MG) and media gateway controller (MGC) in the following transactions: 1. The MG registers with the MGC by sending a ServiceChange request and receives a successful response. 2. The MG deregisters from the MGC by sending another ServiceChange request and receives a response indicating deregistration was unsuccessful. 3. The document provides an example call flow where two subscribers on the same MG call each other. It describes the notifications, modifications, and context creation between the MG and MGC to set up the call.

Call Processing Flow

MG register towards MGC


To make H.248 support the designed service, the first thing it should do after the power up
is to register towards ZXSS10 ss1A/ss1B. Currently the version ZTE supported is 1.0, if the
version in the MG does not match the peer device, there will come back a 406 error “version
not supported” and fails to register. The general registration process is showing below:

Two IAD subscribers Calling each other in one SS


domain
In I503, there are two kinds of terminations, physical termination and ephemeral
terminations. The Physical termination ranges from AG58900 to AG58902, connecting with
three different subscriber ports respectively. Ephemeral termination name ranges from
RTP/00000 to RTP/00002. Following example shows how the subscribers in two I503 will
make phone call. Following is the simulated example scenarios
