mobility within one or more Private Integrated Network Exchanges (PINXs) of a Private Integrated Services Network

(PISN).It covers both Wireless Terminal Mobility (WTM) and Private Personal Mobility (PPM).

WTM is a function that allows users of Wireless Terminals (WT) to make and receive calls at any compatible radio

access within the network. Standards for WTM should be independent of the access technology used to support the

WTs.

PPM enables users of a PISN to register at any suitable terminal (wired or wireless) within the network for the

making and/or receiving of calls.

This Technical Report covers the following subjects for both WTM and PPM:

– Registration procedures;

– Procedures for incoming and outgoing calls;

– Access security procedures (identification and authentication);

– Requirements for numbering, addressing and signalling;

– Requirements for management, administration and operation.

required for their attachment to Virtual Private Network (VPN) functionality of public (or third party provided) network

equipment.

Mapping functions are required to provide for the physical termination of the interface at the C or T reference points, and for

the mapping of user channels and signalling information flows at the Q reference point to the appropriate channels or timeslots

at the C or T reference point.

At the T reference, point it is assumed that the protocol used on the D channel is the enhanced version of DSS1. These protocol

enhancements are given in Annex Q and Annex X of Recommendations Q.931 and Q.932 respectively.

The mapping function specified in this International Standard are applicable to PINXs connected to a VPN that supports either

PISN information flows between accesses and/or PISN services.

The C and Q reference points are defined in ISO/IEC 11579-1. The T reference point is defined in ITU-T

Rec. I.411.

The types of interfaces at the C or T reference point covered by this International Standard are the ISDN primary rate interface

and the basic access interface.

network exchanges (HS-PINX), for their interconnection to form high-speed private integrated services networks

(HS-PISN). The configuration is intended to provide guidance for the specification of PINX capabilities, but does not

impose any specific implementation of a HS-PINX.

This RC describes a conceptual HS-PINX. By combining multiple HS-PINXs to a high-speed private integrated

services network the RC becomes applicable to a HS-PISN. This is generically described in ISO/IEC 11579-1.

This RC satisfies the support of all HS applications, such as LAN, MAN, B-ISDN, etc.

Standards development within the Information Technology sector is harmonized with international standards development. Through the CSA Technical Committee on Information Technology (TCIT), Canadians serve as the Canadian Advisory Committee (CAC) on ISO/IEC Joint Technical Committee 1 on Information Technology (ISO/IEC JTC1) for the Standards Council of Canada (SCC), the ISO member body for Canada and sponsor of the Canadian National Committee of the IEC. Also, as a member of the International Telecommunication Union (ITU), Canada participates in the International Telegraph and Telephone Consultative Committee (ITU-T).

This Standard supersedes CAN/CSA-ISO/IEC 23290:04 (adoption of ISO/IEC 23290:2002).

At the time of publication, ISO/IEC 23290:2004 is available from ISO and IEC in English only. CSA will publish the French version when it becomes available from ISO and IEC.

This Standard has been formally approved, without modification, by the Technical Committee and has been approved as a National Standard of Canada by the Standards Council of Canada.

Scope

This International Standard specifies functions for using an H.323 packet network in order to interconnect two Private Integrated services Network eXchanges (PINXs) forming part of a Private Integrated Services Network (PISN). Interconnection is achieved by carrying the inter-PINX signalling protocol over the H.323 call signalling channel, making use of the protocol tunnelling facilities of H.323, and inter-PINX user information (e.g., voice) over logical channels established through H.323. Each logical channel usually represents a unidirectional media stream conveyed by means of the Real-time Transport Protocol (RTP). The inter-PINX signalling protocol is assumed to be QSIG, as specified in ISO/IEC 11572, ISO/IEC 11582 and other standards.

This International Standard provides for an on-demand type of interconnection, where a separate H.323 call is established at the start of each PISN call and cleared down at the end of that call. A semi-permanent scenario where a single H.323 call with an indefinite lifetime carries QSIG on behalf of many PISN calls is described as an additional option.

In the scenarios covered in this International Standard, the PINXs participating in a call are not necessarily aware of the H.323 network providing the interconnection, and the features available are those of the QSIG network. This is different from a scenario where true interworking between QSIG and H.323 (i.e. QSIG. H.323.QSIG) is used to connect two PISNs or two parts of the same PISN. In this latter case all networks participate in a call on equal terms, and features are limited to those available in all networks and supported by the gateways. This latter scenario is outside the scope of this International Standard.

This International Standard is applicable to PINXs that can be interconnected to form a PISN using QSIG as the inter-PINX signalling protocol.

This International Standard specifies functions for using a packet network that uses the Internet Protocol (IP) as its network layer protocol and UDP and TCP as its transport layer protocols, to interconnect two Private Integrated services Network exchanges (PINXs) forming part of a Private Integrated Services Network (PISN).

Interconnection is achieved by carrying the inter-PINX signalling protocol directly over the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) and inter-PINX user information (e.g., voice) over the Real-time Transport Protocol (RTP), RTP being carried over the User Datagram Protocol (UDP).

The inter-PINX signalling protocol is assumed to be QSIG, as specified in ISO/IEC 11572, ISO/IEC 11582 and other International Standards. This International Standard provides for two types of interconnection

– on-demand, where a separate TCP connection for QSIG is established at the start of each call and cleared down at the end of that call and

– semi-permanent, where a single TCP connection with an indefinite lifetime carries QSIG on behalf of many single calls.

This International Standard is applicable to PINXs that can be interconnected to form a PISN using QSIG as the inter-PINX signalling protocol.
