Recommendation I.110

PREAMBLE AND GENERAL STRUCTURE OF THE I-SERIES RECOMMENDATIONS

FOR THE INTEGRATED SERVICES DIGITAL NETWORK (ISDN)

(Malaga-Torremolinos, 1984; amended at Melbourne, 1988)

1 Preamble

1.1 Introduction

An ISDN is a network, in general evolving from a telephony Integrated Digital Network (IDN), that provides end-to-end digital connectivity to support a wide range of services, including voice and non-voice services, to which users have access by a limited set of standard multi-purpose user-network interfaces.

This concept requires a family of CCITT Recommendations.

The I-Series Recommendations will provide principles and guidelines on the ISDN concept, as well as a detailed specification of the user-network and internetwork interfaces. They will further contain suitable references so that the detailed Recommendations on specific elements within the network can continue to be developed in the appropriate Recommendation series.

Figure 1/I.110 produces a broad outline of the structure of the I-Series of Recommendations and their relationship to other Recommendations. As shown in the Figure, the current structure of the I-Series

documentation is subdivided into seven major parts. Other I-Series documents may be added as the need arises. In addition, to support the implementation of the ISDN concepts, Recommendations have been produced and others will be produced in other Series by the appropriate specialist group (see Recommendation I.111).

1.2 Basis of the I-Series approach

In order to standardize all necessary aspects of ISDN the CCITT has divided the subject matter into a number of distinct (but obviously related) areas (see Figure 2/I.110). Three of these areas are the following:

1) Services (I.200-Series of Recommendations);

2) Network aspects (I.300-Series of Recommendations);

3) User-network access and interfaces (I.400-Series of Recommendations).

Network aspects are further supported by other Recommendations both inside and outside the I-Series.

The I-Series Recommendations are directed at the following principles:

Fascicle III.7 -- Rec. I.110 3

a)
compatible;

b)

the standardization of services offered to subscribers, so as to enable services to be internationally the standardization of user-network interfaces, so as to enable terminal equipment to be portable [and to

assist in a)];

c)

the standardization of network capabilities to the degree necessary to allow user-to-network and

network-to-network interworking, so as to achieve a) and b) above.

4 Fascicle III.7 -- Rec. I.110

Figure 1/I.110, p.

The distinction that has been made in this approach between services and network capabilities is perhaps the most important. In the past, each service which was a candidate for standardization was treated in isolation and the necessary standards developed. For the ISDN, a wide range of services has to be considered in a coordinated manner. In addition, in the past there has not been a conscious decision to separate the definition of standards required for services from the definition of the standards for the network capabilities to support these services.

The approach, in the development of the I-Series, has been, first, to establish the broad concepts of the two areas of standards, secondly, to uniquely define these two concepts, and thirdly, to show the relationship between them.

The fourth area shown in Figure 2/I.110, is user equipment. The I-Series includes reference configurations which identify key functional groupings and their physical relationship. The interfaces with the network are explicitly defined; however, the I-Series does not provide a detailed description of any specific terminal element.

Figure 3/I.110 illustrates the relationship between services and network capability areas from a first-order viewpoint; nevertheless the relationship can be seen to be recursive. The figure shows that the driving forces are:

a) what the user wants or is prepared to purchase;

b) the availability of the necessary technology;

c) the economics of developing and enhancing services and the network capabilities.

RELATIONSHIP WITH OTHER RECOMMENDATIONS RELEVANT TO ISDNs

(Malaga-Torremolinos, 1984; amended at Melbourne, 1988)

The I-Series of Recommendations applies to the general concept and to the network capabilities of an ISDN mainly insofar as they appear at user-network interfaces and internetwork interfaces. Moreover, the detailed specifications of ISDN interfaces are contained in the I-Series of Recommendations.

The specific aspects within the network, and ancillary features that are necessary to support the above, will continue to be covered wholly or in part, by the appropriate Series of Recommendations. Such aspects may include:

-- technical characteristics of component parts and their performance objectives (e.g. transmission systems, switching systems, interexchange signalling systems);

--

--

--

--

network synchronization;

maintenance and operation;

services;

tariffs and charging.


Some of the existing Recommendations for telephony and other dedicated service networks are directly applicable also to ISDNs. However, other Recommendations in those Series may need to be developed in order to cover applications in an ISDN.

References to other Recommendations relevant to ISDNs and/or used in developing I-Series Recommendations are listed in Table 1/I.111.

Recommendation I.112

VOCABULARY OF TERMS FOR ISDNs

(Malaga-Torremolinos, 1984; amended at Melbourne, 1988)

1 Introduction

This Recommendation consists primarily of those terms and definitions that are considered essential to the understanding and application of the principles of an Integrated Services Digital Network (ISDN). They are not exclusive to ISDNs and are also recommended for application, insofar as they are relevant, to other types of telecommunication networks.

Included are some terms that are already defined in other Recommendations. However, the definitions given here embrace only the essential concepts and on that basis it is considered that they are not inconsistent with the more specialized definitions that appear in those other Recommendations.

A small number of the terms and definitions in this Recommendation are duplicated in Recommendation G.701. References to these definitions are given in brackets, for example { 00 } as an aid to ensuring consistency between the two Recommendations in the event of future amendments.

According to the conventions applied in this Recommendation, any term in common usage but whose use is deprecated in the sense defined, is shown as in the following example: ``419 functional group [functional grouping]''.

Where a truncated term is widely used in an understood context the complete term is quoted following the colloquial form, for example, ``111 circuit, telecommunication circuit''.

Annex A to this Recommendation contains an alphabetical list of all of the terms contained in this Recommendation.

Recommendation I.113

VOCABULARY OF TERMS FOR BROADBAND ASPECTS OF ISDN

(Melbourne, 1988)

1 Introduction

This Recommendation consists primarily of those terms and definitions that are considered essential to the understanding and application of the principles of Broadband Aspects of Integrated Services Digital Network (B-ISDN). They are not exclusive to broadband aspects of ISDN and are recommended also for application, insofar as they are relevant, to other types of telecommunication networks.

Included are terms that may already be defined in other CCITT/CCIR Recommendations. However, the definitions given here embrace only the essential concepts and on that basis it is considered that they are not inconsistent with the more specialized definitions that appear in those Recommendations.

42 Fascicle III.7 -- Rec. I.113

According to the conventions applied in this Recommendation, any term in common usage, but whose use is deprecated, is shown in brackets as in the following example: ``broadband [wideband]''.

Where a truncated term is widely used in an understood context the complete term is quoted following the colloquial form, for example, ``contribution, contribution application''.

Some definitions include terms in bold face to indicate that these terms are defined elsewhere in this Recommendation.

Annex A to this Recommendation contains an alphabetical list of all the terms contained in this Recommendation.
