Requirement Specifications for interoperability between GSM SSF and SCF

Scope
The scope of this document is to provide the RCOM requirement for CAMEL control relationship between SSF and SCF

Introduction
ETS! has started in"##$ with the specification of !ntelli%ent &etwor' functionalit( in )SM* named Customi+ed Applications for Mobile Enhanced Lo%ic ,CAMEL- CAMEL will provide the service provider with the abilit( to offer operator specific services such as prepaid roamin% services* fraud control* special numbers and closed user %roups based on !& service lo%ic to a subscriber even when roamin% outside the ./LM& !t is a networ' feature and not a supplementar( service CAMEL ma'es use of !& SSF0 SCF interface via CA/ ,CAMEL application partThis document addresses the details of the messa%es that flow under different call scenarios* between various functional entities for supportin% CAMEL
