The networking features that the softswitch network number should refer

The number of the softswitch network should refer to the networking features. There are a variety of terminals. The number of the softswitch network has an impact on the traditional telecom network. Therefore, multiple factors should be taken into account to determine the number of the various terminals of the softswitch network. For next-generation networks, names will be used mainly for E.164 numbers. Therefore, the relationship between numbers and addressing needs to be resolved. In E.164, You need to assign a corresponding number to each endpoint connected to the network. These numbers can be directly used for addressing.

In addition, with the development of networks and businesses, E.164 numbers are not only allocated to endpoints, but also to various businesses. These business numbers include access codes or business numbers assigned to users, such as the 800 number of the centralized payment service called, and the 700 number in personal communications.

These numbers are numbers assigned to individuals or enterprises and cannot be directly used for addressing. For addressing, You need to translate it into corresponding physical numbers that can be used for addressing. Therefore, numbers are divided into two layers: user-level. At this level, the number of the softswitch network is changed to the name of the individual. It does not change with the number of the network, such as the UPT number or the 800 number.

The other layer is the network number corresponding to each endpoint. This number is used for network addressing. Of course, the vast majority of current numbers are user-oriented and network-oriented numbers. They are the same common phone numbers, both for personal names and for network addressing. However, with the development of business and personalized development of numbers, the separation between the two layers will be more obvious. Therefore, numbers in the next generation network still have user-oriented and network-oriented address numbers.

The numbering, naming, and addressing of the Next Generation Network involves a lot of content, but in terms of numbers, the next generation network directly involves the number of SoftSwitch. The number mentioned in this article only involves the number assigned to the endpoint. We try to make a preliminary analysis on the softswitch endpoint number scheme.

With the introduction of softswitch in the network, it is necessary to consider the numbering of various terminals in the softswitch network number. Softswitch terminals include fixed telephone terminals, mobile phone terminals, various IP terminals and multimedia terminals. To enable communication between these terminals and their existing network terminals.

You need to assign an E.164 number to these terminals. Number assigned. How to assign a number involves charges, network organization, and business opening. This is a complicated problem. This article aims to clarify the various problems involved and compare possible solutions. Although there is no clear definition of the Next Generation Network, many countries or operators have introduced Softswitch in the network as part of the evolution to the next generation network. Softswitch-based networking features:

◆ A variety of terminals, including analog terminals, fixed telephone terminals, mobile terminals, and various multimedia terminals. Numbers must be allocated to these terminals.

◆ The size of Softswitch is large, and the network structure is more flexible than that of the traditional circuit switching network. The Application of softswitch in China is mainly based on the blank area of the network. The capacity of these areas is not very large, so a Softswitch can cover multiple cities, so it can be networked across cities.

◆ Softswitch is usually carried over IP networks. The concept of IP Networking is different from that of traditional networks. For example, IP networking does not distinguish between long-distance local and international services, while traditional networks distinguish between local and international services. Therefore, it is worth studying which concept should be used to design the numbering scheme.

◆ The softswitch network number has an impact on traditional telecommunication networks. Currently, the soft replacement network is mainly used for voice services. Therefore, if the fee and number of networks in the softswitch organization are different from those in the traditional network, the usage of the traditional network will be significantly affected, this bypasses the business volume of traditional networks. Therefore, multiple factors must be taken into account to determine the numbers of softswitch terminals.
