    SS7 is an international telecommunication protocol standard that exchanges information and control signals between elements in a public switched telephone network (PSTN). It controls how telephone calls are routed and billed. SS7 operates over out-of-band 56 or 64K bi-directional signaling links and supports services requiring databases like IN. It has three types of signaling points: SSP, STP, and SCP. SS7 uses a layered architecture including physical, data link, and network layers to exchange signaling messages and manage traffic flow between points in the network.

    PERFORMANCE TASK #10


    Signaling System #7 (SS7)
    By: AL P. HIPONIA
    What is signaling system #7?
    - SS7 is considered an international telecommunication protocol
    standard that able to describe how the network elements in a
    public switched telephone network (PSTN) exchange
    information and control signals.
    - It is also the system that controls how telephone calls are
    routed and billed.

    SS7 REQUIREMENTS

    • Optimized for operation with digital (ISDN) networks


    • Able to meet present and future requirements for information
    transfer for inter processor transactions
    • Provide a reliable means of information transfer in correct
    sequence and without loss or duplication

    3
    SS7 SIGNALING LINKS

    • Out of band signaling


    • Messages exchanged over 56 or 64K bi-directional signaling
    links
    • Supports services requiring database systems (IN)
    • Allows for improved control over fraudulent network usage

    SS7 Data-Link Layer

    Layer 1 Layer 2

    • Physical layer in OSI • Signal unit alignment and delimitation


    • Two bi-directional transmission • Error detection
    paths for signaling • Error correction (preventive cyclic
    • Two data channels running in retransmission method)
    opposite directions at same date • Flow Control
    rate (usually 56-64K)

    9
    SS7 SIGNAL UNITS
    MSU (message signal unit)
    - It carries signaling information

    LSSU (link station signal unit)


    - It carries the link status information

    FISU (Fill-in signal unit)


    Augst Bergquist - It fills in idle time

    SS7 Network Functions (Layer 3)

    Message-handling Functions Traffic Management Functions

    • Message routing • To control message routing


    - used at each signaling point to - Includes modification of message routing to
    determine the outgoing link destination points, or to continue normal
    • Message discrimination routing.
    - determines if a received message is • Control signaling traffic by avoiding
    destined for it, or another point irregularities in message flow
    • Message distribution • Flow control
    - delivers received message to
    correct user part 12
    SS7 Network Functions (Layer 3)

    Link Management

    • Can restore the availability of a link set


    • Monitors status of signaling link
    • Corrects out-of-service links
    • Can provision new signaling links
    • Automatically configures/reconfigures signaling links
