COMMUNITY OF INTEREST SUPPLEMENTARY SERVICES

1 Closed user group

1.1 Introduction

The supplementary service closed user group (CUG) makes provision for a group of users to meet security requirements of certain applications by providing restrictions, which prevent non-members from reaching these applications.Recommendation Q.85

The basic facility provides, via the ISDN, the CUG members with controlled intercommunication exclusively amongst themselves and denies access into or outside the group. This facility can be extended to include outgoing and/or incoming access for specified CUG members.

1.2 Definition of functional model

1.2.1 Functional model description

The high level functional model for the CUG service contains the network addressable functional entities described in Figure 1-1/Q.85.

Fascicle VI.1 -- Rec. Q.85 1

1.2.2.1 Outgoing CUG determination entity (FE2)

It has the ability:

-- to identify a CUG call;

-- to check the CUG subscription

of the calling user;

-- to access the outgoing CUG

CUG control entity.

entity (FE3)

It performs:

-- the validation checks of CUG information of a calling user;

-- the conversion of the CUG index to an interlock code.

1.2.2.3 Incoming CUG determination entity (FE4)

It has the ability:

-- to identify a CUG call;

-- to check the CUG subscription

of the called user;

-- to access the incoming 1.2.2.4 Incoming CUG control

CUG control entity.

entity (FE5)

It performs:

-- the conversion of the interlock code to CUG index;

-- the validation checks of CUG information of a called user (including the compatibility with the called user class -- CUG IA -- in case of an ordinary incoming call).

Note -- FE3 and FE5 are coupled in the sense that they handle a common set of data (interlock codes).

1.2.3 Relationship to basic service

Refer to § 1.6 for the physical location of each entity residing in Figure 1-2/Q.85.

Definition of individual information flows

The parameters that are carried on the information flows in the successful case are as follows:

1.3.2.1 SETUP (FE1-FE2) -- In addition to called party number and CLI

-- nothing, or

-- index, or

-- index + OA indication.

1.3.2.2 ENQUIRY (FE2-FE3) -- Carries the same information as SETUP (FE1-FE2) except called party number.

1.3.2.3 ENQUIRY (FE3-FE2):

-- nothing, or

-- interlock code, or

-- interlock code + OA indication.

1.3.2.4 SETUP (FE2-FE4) -- In addition to called party number

-- nothing, or

-- interlock code, or

-- interlock code + OA indication.

1.3.2.5 ENQUIRY (FE4-FE5) -- Carries exactly the same information as SETUP (FE2-FE4).

-- nothing, or

-- index, or

-- index + OA indication.

1.4 Functional entity actions

FE1 -- A user initiates call SETUP request with the CUG index code (when a preferential CUG is used, no index code is designated).

FE2 -- identify a CUG call and receive CUG information,

-- CUG subscription check of the calling user.

6 Fascicle VI.1 -- Rec. Q.85

FE3 -- Outgoing validation check:

1) CUG index code check of a calling user (when no index code is designated, preferential CUG is used);

2) outgoing barring check within CUG; when any logical contradiction is detected in the above procedure, a call is rejected (see Table 1-1/Q.85).

ICB Incoming access barred within CUG

Note 1 -- Since CUG OA user class is not concerned in the incoming case, it is not shown in the above list. It shall be regarded that CUG OA user class is the same as class CUG, and CUG OA/IA is the same as user class CUG IA in this table.

Most of the table is performed in FE5.

Note 2 -- (1)-(3) shows CUG parameter to be used in the SETUP to the called user.

(1): CUG (index),

(2): CUG + OA (index + OA mark AS),

(3): No CUG (ordinary call).

Note 3 -- ICB means incoming calls barred within the CUG. The interpretation logic is changed in this case as shown in each column in the table.

For example: _

center box ; lw(42p) | cw(30p) . No ICB ICB _ lw(42p) | cw(30p) . M (1) REJ _

center box ; lw(180p) .

{ This means that when the interlock codes are matched and no ICB is applied for the CUG, then (1) is used. However, when ICB is applied for the CUG, the incoming call is rejected even if interlock codes are matched.

}

Note 4 -- M means that the interlock code is matched with the CUG of the called user.

Note 5 -- NM means `` not matched''.

Note 6 -- REJ means that an incoming call is rejected.

Note 7 -- Interpretation logic, e.g.:

@ left [ $$6oM~$$6u(3) $$6e right ] @

means that when matched with CUG, no CUG selection facility field is set in the SETUP to the called user.

b) charging information during a call;

c) charging information at call setup time.

This Recommendation does not describe which information is to be provided in each case because it is considered to be a network dependent matter whether the information is provided, e.g. as charging units or as currency units.

It is assumed that the coding of the charge advice information (CAI) is done in such a way that whenever this information is received by a user, the content shall be self explaining.
