PSTN signaling protocol interconnection between a PCN and the PSTN There are six types of SS7 signaling links. Two Types, A-Link (access link) and D-Link (diagonal link)

SS7 message routing is preformed at the MTP and the SCCP of a node (SSP,STP or SCP) Signaling messages are delivered with the actual destination address at the MTP MTP level receives messages from TCAP, SCCP, ISUP DPC (destination point code) of the message uniquely identifies the destination node Routing to the destination node is determined by the MTP using lookup tables

Transaction 1
When MS is in MSC2s service area, MSC2 sends a RegistrationNotification(INVOKE) to its VLR(VLR2) If MSC1 is net served by VLR2, then VLR2 sends a RegistrationNotification(INVOKE) to the MSs HLR HLR sends a RegistrationCancellation(INVOKE) to the MSs previously visited VLR (VLR1) The cancellation propagates to MSC1

Transaction 3
Transaction 4
Transaction 5
After T2 is completed, VLR2 creates a registration record for MS Sends a QualificationRequest(INVOKE) to HLR to check MSs qualification for receiving services
Transaction 6
VLR2 sends a ServiceProfileRequest(INVOKE) to HLR to obtain the service profile for the roaming MS Kwangwoon Univ.

When MIN is dialed, end office (EO) notices that the number is for wireless service Suppose that EO has HLR query capability EO sends a query message to obtain MSs TLDN (temporary local directory number) Messages exchanged among switches, VLR and HLR are TCAP messages

Step 1
After
the MSs TLDN is obtained, EO sends an Initial Address Message (IAM) to the PCN MSC to initiate signaling for trunk setup When IAM is sent, IAM timer is set at the EO EO expects to receive a response from MSC within timeout period
Step 2
If
IAM sent from the EO to tandem specifies a continuity check, selected trunk from tandem to EO After continuity check is successfully completed, Continuity Message (COT) is sent from EO to tandem, and trunk is set up Same procedure could be performed when MSC receives IAM from tandem

Step 3
When
IAM arrives at MSC, MSC pages the MS One of following three events occurs
MS is connected with another call This situation is referred to as call collision Call is processed with call forwarding or call waiting, or MSC returns REL message to EO with a cause indicating the busy line situation MS is idle MSC send Address Complete Message (ACM) to EO Message informs EO of MS information, charge indications, and end-to-end protocol requirements When the EO receives the ACM, the IAM timer is stopped Ms does not answer the page MSC returns REL message to EO

Step 4
When
MS answers call, an Answer Message (ANM) is sent from MSC to EO Call is established through trunk path (6)(7)
Step 5
EO
sends a Release Message (REL) to indicate that specified trunk is being released from the connection Trunk is not set to idle is EO until a Release Complete Message (RLC) message is received
Step 6
When
MSC receives REL from EO, relies with a RLC After RLC is sent, EO and tandem waits for 0.5 to 1 sec. before it seizes the released trunk for the next call
