Transmitter State Variables

Variable VT(S) N(S) VT(PS) N(PS) VT(A) Acknowledge Poll Send Name Send Description The sequence number of the next SD PDU to be transmitted for the first time. Incremented after transmission of a SD PDU. Does not increment when the same SD PDU is retransmitted. The current value of the POLL sequence number. Incremented before transmission of the next POLL PDU. The sequence number of the SD PDU that we expect to be acknowledged next. Increments each time the SD PDU is acknowledged. Forms the lower edge of the window of acceptable acknowledgements. Sequence number of the STAT PDU (lowest edge of the acceptable STAT sequence window) that we expect to receive next as an acknowledgement to our POLL PDU. If the received STAT PDU contains and invalid value the recovery or release is initiated. Highest sequence number of a PDU that the transmitter interface can send. (and the receiver will accept). Represents the upper edge of the transmit window. Updated based on the receipt of a USTAT, STAT, BGN, BGAK, RS, RSAK, ER and ERAC PDU. Represents the number of transmitted SD PDUs between 2 POLL PDUs. Incremented upon transmission of an SD PDU and reset to zero upon transmission of a POLL PDU. Number of unacknowledged DGN, END, ER, or RS PDUs. If the ATM interface sends END in response to a protocol error it does not wait for the ENDAK and the value is not incremented. Identifies retransmitted BGN, ER and RS PDUs. Set to 0 when the SSCOP process starts and incremented and mapped to N(SQ) field before transmission of either BGN, ER or RS PDU.

Description Expected sequence number of the next SD PDU.

Highest expected Maximum receive Receiver connection sequence

The sequence number of the highest expected SD PDU. Updated upon receiving of an SD or POLL PDU. The sequence number of the first SD PDU not allowed by the receiver. SD PDUs with N(S) higher than VR(MR) will be discarded. Identifies retransmitted BGN, ER and RS PDUs. If the received N(SQ) field id different than VR(SQ) the PDU is processed as a new. If they are equal the PDU is the retransmission.

SSCOP Phases and timers

SSCOP connection is partitioned in different phases by timers Active Phase When there are SD PDU to be transmitted or any acknowledgement outstanding. Timer for this phase is poll Transient Phase When poll timer expires and no SD PDU to be send and no acknowledgements outstanding. Timer for this phase is keep_active. Idle Phase When STAT PDU is received during keep_active timer runtime. Timer for this phase is idle. After expiry of idle timer, transient phase is entered again. Connection Control Phase During connection establishment, release, resynchronisation or recovery, transmission of PDU is protected by the cc timer.

Functions of SSCF
SSCF maps the data coming from the MTP3 into SSCOP PDU
for transfer. No additional protocol specific information is added to the MTP3 data. SSCF receives signals from SSCOP and MTP3 and maintains local state variables pertaining to the status of the link. SSCF also reports to the layer management about changes in signalling link state. Same function as LSSU (Link Status Signal Unit) in MTP2

Message handling - routing of outgoing messages,
distribution of incoming messages (matches OSI layer 3) Network management - (functions go beyond OSI layer 3.) Sends Signalling Network Test (SNT) and Signalling Network Management (SNM) messages.

Uses Signalling Point Code (SPC) to

address messages to individual network elements. Uses Service Information Octet (SIO) to address messages to higher level applications
