CCITT developed the Signalling System 7 (SS7) specification. SS7 is a common channel
signalling system. This means that one channel is used only for sending the signalling
information, whether the system has one bearer channel or multiple bearer channels. The
hardware and software functions of the SS7 protocol are divided into layers which loosely
correspond to the OSI 7 layer model.
See the Performance Technologies SS7 Tutorial for more information on the SS7 standard.

The SS7 protocol suite is illustrated here in relation to the OSI model:

BISUP
Recommendation Q.2763 (02/95).
http://www.itu.int/ITU-T/.

The B-ISDN User Part (B-ISUP) is applicable to international B-ISDN networks. In addition,
the B-ISDN User Part is suitable for national applications. Most messages and parameters
specified for international use are also required in typical national applications. Moreover,
coding space has been reserved in order to allow national administrations and recognized
operating agencies to introduce network specific signalling messages and parameters within
the internationally standardized protocol structure.
B-ISDN user part messages are carried on the ATM signalling link by means of S-AAL service
data units, the format of which is described in 6.2/Q.2110.
As a national option B-ISDN user part messages can be carried on the STM signalling link by
means of signal units, the format of which is described in 2.2/Q.703.
The format of, and the codes used in the service information octet are described in
14.2/Q.704. The service indicator for the B-ISDN user part is coded 1001.
The signalling information field of each message signal unit containing an B-ISDN user part
message consists of an integral number of octets and encompasses the following parts:
a)
b)
c)

DUP
ITU-T recommendation X.61 (Q.741)
http://www.itu.int/itudoc/itu-t/rec/q/q500-999/q741.html

The Data User Part (DUP) defines the necessary call control, and facility registration and
cancellation related elements for international common channel signalling by use of Signalling
System No. 7 for circuit-switched data transmission services. The data signalling messages
are divided into two categories:
?
?

Call and circuit related messages: used to set up and clear a call or control and
supervise the circuit state.
Facility registration and cancellation related messages: used to exchange information
between originating and destination exchanges to register and cancel information
related to user facilities.

The general format of the header of call and circuit related messages is shown as follows:

Routing Label
The label contained in a signalling message and used by the relevant user part to identify
particulars to which the message refers. This is also use by the message transfer part to route
the message towards its destination point. It contains the DPS, OPC, BIC and TSC fields.

DPS
The destination point code (14 bits) is the code applicable to the data switching exchange to
which the message is to be delivered.

OPC
The originating point code (14 bits) is the code applicable to the data switching exchange from
which the message is sent.

BIC
Bearer identification code (12 bits). For bearers which form part of a 2.048 Mbit/s PCM system
according to Recommendation G.734, the bearer identification code contains in the 5 least
significant bits a binary representation of the actual number of the time slot which is assigned
to the bearer. The remaining bits of the bearer identification code are used where necessary,
to identify one among several systems, interconnecting the originating point and destination
point. For bearers which form part of a 8.448 Mbit/s PCM system the bearer identification
code is coded in accordance with the scheme specified for the circuit identification code for
the corresponding case in Recommendation Q.723.

TSC
Time slot code (8 bits). If the data circuit is derived from the data multiplex carried by the
bearer, identified by the bearer identification code:
Bits 1-4 contain, in pure binary representation, the channel number of the circuit within the
12.8 kbit/s or 12 kbit/s phase; the channel number being in the range:
0-15 for 600 bit/s circuits
0- 3 for 2400 bit/s circuits
0- 1 for 4800 bit/s circuits
0 for 9600 bit/s circuits
Bits 5-7 contain, in pure binary representation, the number of the 12.8 kbit/s or 12 kbit/s
phase, the phase number being in the range 0-4;
Bit 8 is coded 0.
In the case where the data circuit uses the full 64 kbit/s bearer rate, the time slot code will be
01110000.

Heading code
The heading code (4 bits) contains the message type code which is mandatory for all
messages. It uniquely defines the function and format of each DAP message.

Message specific parameters


Contains specific fields for each message.

ISUP
Q.763 http://www.itu.int/itudoc/itu-t/rec/q/q500-999/q763_23976.html

ISUP is the ISDN User Part of SS7. ISUP defines the protocol and procedures used to setup,
manage and release trunk circuits that carry voice and data calls over the public switched
telephone network. ISUP is used for both ISDN and non-ISDN calls. Calls that originate and
terminate at the same switch do not use ISUP signalling. ISDN User Part messages are
carried on the signalling link by means of signal units. The signalling information field of each
message signal unit contains an ISDN User Part message consisting of an integral number of
octets.
The format of the ISUP packet is shown in the following illustration:

Q.704 http://www.itu.ch/itudoc/itu-t/rec/q/q500-999/q704_27792.html

Message Transfer Part - Level 3 (MTP-3) connects Q.SAAL to the users. It transfers
messages between the nodes of the signalling network. MTP-3 ensures reliable transfer of the
signalling messages, even in the case of the failure of the signalling links and signalling
transfer points. The protocol therefore includes the appropriate functions and procedures
necessary both to inform the remote parts of the signalling network of the consequences of a
fault, and appropriately reconfigure the routing of messages through the signalling network.

Q2140
Recommendation Q.2140 .
http://www.itu.int/ITU-T/

The SSCF for NNI Signaling standard consists of the Service Specific Coordination Function
(SSCF) in conjunction with the Service Specific Connection Oriented Protocol (SSCOP) which
defines the Service Specific Convergence Sublayer (SSCS). The purpose of the Service
Specific Coordination Function is to enhance the services of SSCOP to meet the needs of the
requirements of the NNI level 3 protocol. In addition the SSCF at the NNI provides
communication with Layer Management for proper operation of signalling links.
The SSCF at the NNI is the uppermost sub-layer in the protocol stack for the SAAL at the
NNI. By construction, it utilizes the services of the underlying SAAL sub-layers, in combination
with its own functions, to provide an overall SAAL service to the SAAL user, as described
below.
The SAAL at the NNI provides signalling link functions for the transfer of signalling messages
over one individual signalling data link. The SAAL functions provide a signalling link for
reliable transfer of signalling messages between two signalling points.
A signalling message delivered by the higher levels is transferred over the signalling link in
variable length Protocol Data Units (PDUs). For proper operation of the signalling link, the
PDU comprises transfer control information in addition to the information content of the
signalling message.

TCAP
Q.773 http://www.itu.int/itudoc/itu-t/rec/q/q500-999/q773_24880.html

TCAP (Transaction Capabilities Application Part) enables the deployment of advanced


intelligent network services by supporting non-circuit related information exchange between
signalling points using the SCCP connectionless service. TCAP messages are contained
within the SCCP portion of an MSU. A TCAP message is comprised of a transaction portion
and a component portion.
(Compliant with ITU recommendation q.773.)
A TCAP message is structured as a single constructor information element consisting of the
following: Transaction Portion, which contains information elements used by the Transaction
sub-layer; a Component Portion, which contains information elements used by the
Component sub-layer related to components; and, optionally, the Dialogue Portion, which
contains the Application Context and user information, which are not components. Each
Component is a constructor information element.

TUP
ITU-T Recommendation Q.723.
http://www.itu.int/ITU-T/.
Signalling System No.7 - Telephone User Part.

The Telephone User Part (TUP) carries the telephone user messages on the signalling data
link by means of signal units.
The signalling information of each message constitutes the signalling information field of the
corresponding signal unit and consists of an integral number of octets. It basically contains the
label, the heading code and one or more signals and/or indications.
The service information octet comprises the service indicator and the subservice field.
The service indicator is used to associate signalling information with a particular User Part
