Signaling System 7 (SS7)
An international standard Protocol to provide highly
reliable message transfer without duplication or loss
for sending messages:
Between switches for basic call control and call
related services
Between switches and databases for network
based services (e.g.,free numbers ,portability)
SS7 uses a logically separate, common channel
packet switched network .
7 7 7 2001, Cisco Systems, Inc. All rights reserved. Presentation_ID
SS7 is widely deployed worldwide in Public
Switched Telephone Networks
Adopted by Mobile Operators, who are
extensively implementing value added services
using SS7
SS7 is emerging as the common thread to tie
together different transport networks for
convergence

Many SS7 Protocol Standards
SS7 was originally defined in the ITU (C7) :
1980 Yellow Book
1984 Red Book
1988 Blue Book
1992 White Book
ANSI standard for US was developed from the Blue Book
Bellcores version is based on the ANSI standard and has
today become the standard in the US (with some
exceptions)
GR-246-CORE, Bell Communications Research
Specifications of SS7.

Signaling Links
CCS Network Elements are connected with dedicated 64Kbps
digital, bidirectional transmission facilities. Links are
Engineered at 40% of capacity and use diverse routes.
Type of links:
Access Links (A-links)
Bridge Links (B-links)
Cross Links (C-links)
Diagonal Links (D-links)
Extended Links (E-links)
Fully Associated Links (F-links)
Links that combined any two nodes are referred as being in a linkset.
The size of any linkset can range from one to sixteen links. Each
link is defined by its Signaling Link Code (SLC)
16 16 16 2001, Cisco Systems, Inc. All rights reserved. Presentation_ID
Signaling Links (Continued)
Associated - the signal links run directly in parallel with the
bearer links. All connections are point-to-point, therefore routing
is not required.
Non-associated - there is a separate logical path for the signal
and bearer links. Signal links generally go through multiple
STPs to get to their final destination.

Signaling Transfer Point (STP)
STPs are the heart of the CCS network. High speed,
ultra-reliable special purpose packet switch for
signaling message in the SS7 network.
They are responsible for routing messages.
Messages can be routed in one of two ways:
Information within the message (SCCP/GTT)
Information within tables at the STP (MTP3 routing)
STPs are deployed as geographically separate mated
pairs for reliability and optimally loaded for 40%
capacity for dependability.

ITU Signaling Point Code
Network ID (NID)
0--7(3bits)
Cluster ID (CID)
0 -- 255(8bits)
Member ID (MID)
0 7(3bits)
All CCS network elements are assigned a unique number
called a Point Code.
ITU Point Codes are 14 bits, shown as decimal or 3-8-3 format
ANSI Point Codes are 24 bits, shown as 8-8-8 Format
Network ID are assigned by PTT- Authority
(ANCR,Offtel,IBTT,etc..) on demand .The same entity
from which the E164 number ranges comes !!!

the service indicator. The service indicator indicates
the upper level user who sent this information
The Signaling Information Field contains the user
data. This includes the following protocol layers:
TCAP, ISUP, SCCP, MTPL3
SIO

MTPL2 MSU - Service Information Octet
The SIO contains 3 fields:
Network Indicator - this says whether the message
conforms to National (2) or International (0) standards
Priority(only USA) - All MSUs are assigned one of four
priorities (0-3) with 3 being the highest. Only used
during congestion (0-2 can be discarded)


Service Indicator Code (SIC) - Upper level user

0 - Information and status message 2 - Messages related to call in progress

Leaky Bucket - Link Failure
A leaky bucket algorithm is used to fail a
signaling link.
1. When the signaling link is placed in service the bucket is
empty.
2. When a bad message is received (based on CRC), a
token is added to the bucket
3. When 256 messages are received (good or bad), a token
is removed from the bucket
4. When the number of tokens in the bucket is equaled to 64
the link is failed.

Slows or diverts traffic from or to an affected link or route
Forced Rerouting - done when signaling route becomes
unavailable. Procedure involves diverting traffic from one link
set to another one. Result of TFP (Transfer Prohibited).
Controlled Rerouting - used to divert traffic to a more efficient
route. Result of TFR (Transfer Restricted).
MTP Restart - used to avoid flooding node when it is going
through a restart. Uses TRW (Traffic Restart Waiting) and
TRA (Transfer Allowed)
Management Inhibiting - allows maintenance personnel to
prevent MSUs from being transmitted on a link

unavailable link to one or more link without message loss,
mis-sequencing or duplication. COO (Change Over Order) is
sent and COA (Change Over Acknowledgement) is returned.

ISDN User Part (ISUP)
The ISDN User Part (ISUP) defines the protocol used to
set-up, manage, and release trunk circuits that carry
voice and data between terminating line exchanges (e.g.,
between a calling party and a called party).
ISUP is used for both ISDN and non-ISDN calls.
Calls that originate and terminate at the same switch do
not use ISUP signaling.
The specification for ISUP can be found in ITU-T
recomandations Q761-Q764

Trunk Release Procedure
1. SSP
A REL has been sent, the SSP expects an RLC as a confirmation from the far end.
The trunk is maintained in a software busy until an RLC is received.
To guard against possibility of a lost RLC, 2 timers are started when the REL is sent.
These are the TREL (4-6 seconds) and the TREL, 1 (1minute).
If timer TREL,1 expired before an RLC is received, the trunk will be removed from
service and maintenance will be notified.
An RSC is sent to the far end at one minute intervals until an RLC is received, or
maintenance intervenes.

STP STP
SSP SSP
IAM
Two-way trunks are subject to occasional simultaneous seizures at both ends.
This is called dual-seizure or glare.

Switches have a glare bit in memory for each two-way trunk. The purpose of
the glare bit is to determine which switch is in control and which switch must
yield. Agreements between network operators need to be in place to determine
control offices
