10 SS7 Network Created in late 1970s—deployed 1980s
About same time as IP network Purpose-built for PSTN Specifically designed for voice calls and services Interconnects PSTN switches and networks Wire-line CO and tandem switches Wireless MSC National/International networks

11 SS7 Network Interconnection

12 SS7 Network Interconnects all wire-line and wireless networks
Interconnects with VoIP networks via SS7/VoIP signaling gateways Very important infrastructure network AT&T’s “Black Monday” in 1980s Entire network failed Congressional hearings held to determine blame!

13 PSTN Business Models Carriers or Service Providers
Local Exchange Carriers (LEC) Incumbent LEC (ILEC) (e.g. Qwest Communications) Competitive LEC (CLEC) (e.g. Veracity) Local Telephone Companies Inter-exchange Carriers (IXC) Long Distance Telephone Companies (e.g. AT&T, Sprint) Switch-less Resellers Mobile Network Operators (MNO) (e.g. Sprint PCS, T-Mobile) Mobile Virtual Network Operators (MVNO) (e.g. TracPhone) Geographic Area/Coverage Interconnected via SS7 Network

14 Applications POTS (Plain Old Telephone Service) 800 toll-free service

20 SS7 Signaling Links Physical Connection Bandwidth Link Sets
DS0 channel in T1/E1 circuit (very common) V.35 modem (older technology) IP network (newer technology) Bandwidth 56Kbps (robbed-bit T1) 64Kbps (clear channel T1 and E1) Link Sets Dual data links for Redundancy

21 SS7 Signaling Links/Redundancy
A-links – links between STP and SSP or SCP endpoints STP Pair STP Pair B-links – bridge links between mated pairs of STPs SCP SCP C-links – cross link between STPs within STP pair D-links – diagonal links between mated STP pairs in different networks E-links – extended links between SSP and alternate STP Voice Circuits SSP SSP F-links – links between SSPs

22 SS7 Addressing Point Codes and Circuit Identification Codes ANSI ITU
24-bit point code (16,777,216 nodes) 14-bit circuit identification code (16,384 circuits) North America, Japan, China ITU 14-bit point code (16,384 nodes) 12-bit circuit identification code (4,096 circuits) Rest of World (RoW)

23 SS7 Addressing Origination Point Code (OPC)
Sender of SS7 message Destination Point Code (DPC) Receiver of SS7 message Circuit Identification Code (CIC) Identifies physical circuit between SSPs Circuits have common numbering between SSPs SS7 Call Signaling Messages contain OPC, DPC and CIC

24 SS7 Interconnections SSP-to-SSP (switch-to-switch)
F-link used to directly interconnect switches Uses one DS0 channel of T1 circuits between switches Sometimes used in North America SS7 F-link Voice Circuits SSP SSP

25 SS7 Interconnections SSP-to-STP (switch-to-SS7 network)
UVSC CS 479R -- Telecommunications and VoIP -- Signaling System 7 -- Lecture 1 SSP-to-STP (switch-to-SS7 network) Uses A-link to interconnect SSP and STP Uses one DS0 channel of T1 or E1 circuit—no channels used for voice Commonly used throughout the world—required in Europe STP STP SSP SS7 A-links Voice Circuits SSP SSP SSP (C) Copyright 2007 by Gary D.
