    Common Channel Signaling (CCS) allows for the simultaneous transmission of user data, signaling data, and other traffic throughout a network using dedicated out-of-band signaling channels that logically separate network data from user information transmitted on the same channel. CCS supports higher signaling data rates than traditional methods and provides increased network capacity through the use of a digital communication technique that separates signaling information from user voice and data. The CCS network architecture consists of central switching offices connected via signaling transfer points and uses a service control point to set up calls and access network databases while instructing switches to generate billing records.

    Common Channel Signaling

    1. It is a digital communication technique that provides simultaneous transmission


    of user data, signaling data and other related traffic, throughout a network.

    2. This is accomplished by using out-of-band signaling channels which logically


    separate the network data from the user information (voice or data) on the same
    channel.

    3. Even though the concept of CCS implies dedicated, parallel channels, it is


    implemented in a TDM format for series data transmissions.

    4. CCS provides a substantial increase in the number of users which are served by
    trunked PSTN lines, but requires that a dedicated portion of the trunk time be used
    to provide a signaling channel used for network traffic.

    5. Instead of being constrained to signaling data rates which are on the order of
    audio frequencies, CCS supports signaling data rates from 56kbps to many
    megabits per second.

    6. As shown below, the CCS network architecture is composed of geographically


    distributed central switching offices, each with embeded switching end points
    (SEPs), signaling transfer points(STPs), a service management system(SMS) and
    a database service management system(DBAS).

    7. The MSC provides subscriber access to the PSTN via the SEP. The SEP
    implements a stored-program-control switching system known as the service
    control point (SCP) that uses CCS to set up calls and to access a network
    database.
    8. The SCP instructs the SEP to create billing records based on the call information
    recorded by the SCP.The STP controls the switching of messages between nodes
    in the CCS network.

    9. For higher reliability of transmission (redundancy), SEPs are required to be


    connected to the SS7 network via at least two STPs. This combination of two
    STPs in parallel is known as a mated pair, and provides connectivity to the
    network in the event one STP fails.

    10.The SMS contains all subscriber records, and also houses toll-free databases
    which may be accessed by the subscribers.

    11.The DBAS is the administrative database that maintains service records and
    investigates fraud throughout the network.

    12.The SMS and DBAS work in tandem to provide a wide range of customer and
    network provider services, based on SS7.
