INTELLIGENT NETWORK AND SERVICES 1. IN gives more adaptability, flexibility irrespective of networks with minimum risk. 2.

IN is an architecture independent concept 3. Architectural planes physical plane and functional plane 4. Physical plane SSP,SCP,SMP,IP 5. SSP (Service Switching Point). Access point. All IN calls are first routed to SSP. MTR Modified Token Ring protocol SCP Service Control Point SCCP Skinny Client Control Protocol TCAP Transaction Capabilities Application Part INAP Intelligent Network Application Part are the Protocol interface defined in this point 6. Once IN call received SSP invokes TCAP to SCP (at this stage further call processing stopped). When it receives the acknowledgment from SCP it resumes the call processing 7. Interface between SSP and SCP G703 digital trunk 8. SCP Service Control Point. Its a fault tolerant computer system. Provides guidelines for SSP and IP for further call processing. 9. SCP is a data warehouse. It stores the data of the network, service logic, and the IN customers. Secondary storage devices are attached with this computer. SCP is always updated with SMP (Service Management Point) 10. SMP Front end computer system User Interface provides access to the service subscriber to update the data thro remote end dial up connection or x.25 PSTN connection 11. New services are created and Validated in SMP and then updated in SCP 12. IP Intelligent Peripheral It provides enhanced service to the service subscribers. Actually shared. Eg., Voice response system, Voice mail box, announcements, speech recognition system , Text to speech conversion 13. ISUP ISDN User Part, INAP, TCAP, SCCP, MTP protocols of CCS7 protocols are defined in IP 14. Functional Planes : It contains of nine Functional Entities (FE) which are distributed over Physical Entities (PE) FE Set of unique functions a. CCAF Call Control Agent Function user access to the network b. CCF Call Control Function provides basic facility speech. Switching function and triggering function c. SSF Service Switching Function Switch the calls as per the advice of SCF at SCP. Service Independent Interface d. SCF Service Control Function It advices the SSF at SCP for switching the call as it contains Service Logic Components e. SDF Service Data Function Contains user Data and internal n/w data f. SRF Specialized Resource Function invokes the specialized functions like Announcements, tones etc

g. SCEF Service Creation Environment Function Creating and testing the new IN services. h. SMAF Service Management access Function It provides the access interface to SMF for a Service Manager (Human) i. SMF Service Management Function It enables a service to be deployed in IN. 15. PE and FE PE SSP SCP SMP IP FE CCF, SSF, CCAF SCF, SDF SCEF, SMF, SMAF SRF
