Dedications
I dedicate this book to my deceased parents, Irene and Bill, who unfortu-
nately will not see it published, but supported me throughout my child-
hood and through to the early part of my degree. They always told me I
would do something valuable and I’d like to think this is it!
I’d also like to dedicate the book to my wife, Catherine, and son,
Thomas, for supporting me in this project. They have both given me
motivation to complete this task.
And finally to my cat Callie who spent many a fond hour on my lap
asleep when I couldn’t sleep because of the work involved in compiling
the book.

[...]... see the importance of this in Chapter 3, on intelligent networks We are going to take a brief interlude from switching and signalling to cover transmission systems, and then we will pick up advance telephony services in the form of intelligent networks in Chapter 3 and explore the use of SS#7 for more advanced services Next GenerationNetwork Services Neill Wilkinson Copyright q 2002 John Wiley & Sons,... capacity with more and more powerful processors Most recently, the use of standard computing hardware and the influence of the Internet have lead to the so-called next- generation networks It is these nextgeneration networks and the new capabilities and services that this book is about Motivation for the book My aim for the book was to bring together all the technologies that at first glance seem unconnected... overview of packet networks, and describes the salient information relating to how they have evolved, together with their use for transporting information in the nextgeneration networks The first part of the book concludes with how information will be represented and stored in the form of XML and network directories The combination of all of this technology will lead to the application of voice services as... can work with web style tools rather than the IN services creation environments of the 1990s This section explores the technologies and techniques that have lead to the next- generation network services that will emerge over the coming years It also gives an overview of the technologies that will allow the telecommunications service providers to create new services In telecommunications, voice has always... switched telephone network and other private networks The key point about the move from analogue signalling at the edge of the network to digital signalling is the increase in services and facilities that can be supported, and for example the ability for end devices to communicate with each other, using the public switched telephone network as a packet data network for carrying those messages One facility... discussed in Chapters 3 and 4, respectively INAP stands for intelligent network application protocol and provides the functionality to support enhanced services in fixed networks CAP stands for Customised Applications for Mobile Networks Enhanced Logic (CAMEL) Application Part and MAP for Mobile Application Part, both protocols for mobile networks that provide enhanced application functionality specifically... and have been influential in delivering the new world of telecommunications Next GenerationNetwork Services Neill Wilkinson Copyright q 2002 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd ISBNs: 0-471-48667-1 (Hardback); 0-470-84603-8 (Electronic) 1 Circuit Switched Technologies 1.1 THE EVOLUTION OF CIRCUIT SWITCHING The current circuit switched network concept has remained essentially unchanged from the original electromechanical... spend! So I wanted to avoid the problem that I face, by putting a reference together that would cover at a reasonable level all the areas that influence and will influence telecommunications services and networks of the next generation What I cannot achieve is a complete reference, nor would that be appropriate I would have loved to be able to include all the technical specifications, standards and other references... circuit-switched networks and are looking to see how the technologies they are working with will change over the next five to ten years Equally, engineers who are now facing the new data to carry (voice) should find this book a useful reference to show where the voice networks have come from and are going, and how this influences their role How to read this book The book is split into three main parts: technology, services. .. desire to increase the number of services that, the network could offer, whilst reducing the need for increasingly complex software on the SPC was achieved This was realised by the introduction of the intelligent network architecture (see Chapter 3) So routing is the process of interpreting the digits from this call plan into a meaningful path through the circuit switched network Routing is a distributed .
