Type of BICC calls
BICC Bearer establishment procedures:
Four variants of BICC IP bearer set-up
procedures are defined:
-
Fast Forward
-
Delayed Forward
-
Fast Backward
-
Delayed Backward
Those procedures differ on the way the bearer
control information are exchanged, and on whether an APM (Connected) message
shall be sent by the originating BICC node once the bearer is ready for use.
-
Bearer control information
exchanges :
-
In Fast bearer setup (forward
or backward) and in delayed forward bearer establishment procedures, the IP
bearer establishment is done in the forward direction, i.e. the IPBCP request
is sent from the originating towards the terminating MGWs ; the bearer
establishment request is sent in the IAM message in fast (forward or backward)
procedures, while it is sent in subsequent APM message, after a first IAM/APM
exchange, in case of delayed forward bearer establishment.
-
In reverse, in the Delayed
backward bearer establishment procedure, the IP bearer establishment is done in
the direction reverse to the call establishment direction, i.e. the IPBCP
request is sent from the terminating towards the originating MGWs, through a
backward APM message.
-
APM (Connected) exchange :
-
In Forward bearer setup
procedures, the terminating BICC node decides by its own whether it requires or
not the originating BICC node to send an APM (Connected) message once the
bearer is ready for use at the originating side.
-
In Delayed backward bearer
setup procedure, APM(Connected) is never sent (BICC protocol).
-
In Fast backward bearer setup
procedure, an APM(Connected) message shall always be sent (BICC protocol).
