Book Description:
A complete, practical guide to the world's most popular signaling
system, including SIGTRAN, GSM-MAP, and Intelligent Networks.
* Provides in-depth coverage of the SS7 protocols, including
implementation details * Covers SS7 over IP (SIGTRAN) using
real-world examples * Covers SS7/C7 from both a North American
and European perspective, providing a broad international
understanding of the technology and associated standards *
Explains mobile wireless concepts and signaling, including
mobile application part (MAP) * Provides a thorough explanation
of the Intelligent Network (IN) and associated protocols (INAP/AIN)
Signaling System No. 7 (SS7) is a signaling network and protocol
that is used globally to bring telecommunications networks,
both fixed-line and cellular, to life. SS7 has numerous applications
and is at the very heart of telecommunications. Setting up
phone calls, providing cellular roaming and messaging, and
supplying converged voice and data services are only a few
of the ways that SS7 is used in the communications network.
SS7 also provides the point of interconnection between converging
voice and data networks. This transition, which affects everyone
who works with the data network, has bolstered the need for
practical and applied information on SS7. In short, anyone
who is interested in telecommunications should have a solid
understanding of SS7. Signaling System No. 7 (SS7/C7): Protocol,
Architecture, and Services will help you understand SS7 from
several perspectives. It examines the framework and architecture
of SS7, as well as how it is used to provide today's telecommunications
services. It also examines each level of the SS7 protocol-all
the way down to the bit level of messages. In addition, the
SIGTRAN standards are discussed in detail, showing the migration
from SS7 to IP and explaining how SS7 information is transported
over IP.
