Intelligent Network Principle
 IN is an architectural concept for the

operation and provision of new services
quickly, flexibly, economically and
efficiently.
 The basic principle of IN is the separation
of service and switch.

Intelligent Network Principle
The IN is an extension to the existing

telephone network
The network is organised so that the

telephone calls received by the IN are
interrupted to query a database in order
to determine what to do with the call
The call can then be re-routed based on a
number of pre-defined conditions
Users & Providers of IN Services
Network Provider -The company that is

responsible for the telephony network
planning and maintenance
Service Provider -The Company or

institution that purchases IN services from
the network provider and provides it to
Service subscribers. It is the organisation
which creates, manages and markets the
service. © BHARAT SANCHAR NIGAM LIMITED
Calling Subscriber-A Party or Calling party,
the person who dials IN number
Called Subscriber- B party or Called Party,

the person who answers the IN call.
Calling and called party are collectively
referred to as users
User- One who uses the service. He does
NOT require to subscribe to the service

Advantages to Network Provider
Additional network traffic-IN services

stimulate the use of telephone network for
new applications.
Higher call completion rates - IN services
target calls to destinations where they are
most likely to be answered.

Advantages to Service Provider
Flexible and rapid deployment of new

services
Wide range of services.
New tariffed features.

Advantages to Service Subscriber
Flexible charging.
Call queueing.
Flexibilty in who maintains the database.

Advantages to IN user
Ease of access.
Facilities of advanced services.

IN Conceptual Model
 Service Plane
 Service from user view
 Reusable unit of functionality (Numbering, Charging, UI,
Restriction etc)
 Global Functional Plane
 Service Provider’s point of view
 SIBs (BCP, Charge, Translate, Screen etc)
 Distributed Functional Plane
 Realistic View of Network (FEs: CCF, SSF, SCF, SDF, SMF &
SRF)
 SDLs (Specification & Development Language) & MSC
(Message Sequence Charts)
 DPs of O-BCSM & T-BCSM
 Physical Plane

Entities in the Functional Model
 CCF (call control function) - this provides the
basic call and connection handling in the
exchange. It establishes, manipulates and
releases the call.
 SSF (Service switching function)-It enables

interaction between CCF and SCF. It recognizes
service control triggers, through which it
recognizes IN calls. It manages the signaling
between the CCF & SCF.

 SCF (Service Control function) - Directs call

control functions during the processing of an IN
call. It contains the IN service call processing
logic stored in the subscriber databases which
specifies how to handle an IN service request. It
interacts with the SSF and thje SRF to obtain
information required to process an IN call.
Sometimes the SCF is split into two functional
entities

 SDF( Service Data Function) --the database
 SCF (Service Control Function) - Call processing
and other logic
 Other functions are

 Collection of traffic and network measurements
and sending to SMF
 Sending of status and service maintenance

messages to the SMF
 Network management controls
 Sending of Billing Information to the SSF

 SRF (Specialized Resource Function)- It is used
whenever an IN call requires direct interaction
with the calling party in the speech path. It
contains the logic and processing capability to
send, receive and convert information
 It has the following functions
 Play Announcement
 Collect digit
 Voice recognition
 Voice Back
 SCEF (Service creation Environment Function)-

This function enables service developers to
develop service logic, create and modify network
databases
 Downloading of service logic to the SMS

 The purpose of SCEF is to create Service
Packages (SPs). An SP is a container for one or
more IN Services

 It contains
 Service logic
 Service data and service data schema

 Specification of which data and statistics to
collect during service execution

 SMF (Service Management Function) - This

function is responsible for provisioning and
managing services created by the SCEF and
downloading services & service related data to
the SCF equipment
 Applying changes to the global (service wide) or

subscriber data
 Downloading service logic onto the SCF

 Collection of service subsciption measurements

 Receiving & logging unsolicited status and service
management messages from SCF
 Producing reports
 Service data audits

Implementation of the Functional
Model
 The Functional Model defines the entities in terms
of functions and not in terms of physical network
elements. The network elements which
correspond to different functional entities are
 SCF SCP (Service Control Point)
 SRF IP (Intelligent Peripheral)
 CCF/SCF SSP (Service Switching Point)

Implementation of the Functional
Model
 SCEF SCE (Service Creation Environment)

 SMF SMS (Service Management System)
More than one of these functional entities
may be implemented on one physical network
element

Service Switching Point (SSP)

 Major function of the SSP is to detect events
during call processing, called triggers, that
indicate an IN call event
 After triggering, the SSP suspends call processing

and starts a series of transactions with the SCP to
determine the handling of the call
 Supervises the length of the call

IN Services
IN is flexible network for designing,
implementing and using services
Each service consists of one or more

service features. A Service feature is a
unit of functionality for eg. Routing by
time of day or call queuing
A caller normally accesses a service by
dialing a Service Access Code (SAC).

ITC
 This prepaid card enables you to make local, STD

or ISD calls even from a STD/ISD barred
telephone. The calls are charged to the secret
number specified in the card and not to the
telephone connection being used. Equipped with
this card, you can enjoy the freedom of making
calls anywhere, anytime, from any telephone

ITC
 This is an access code based service, all IT Cards

calls are preceded by the code 1802xyz as shown

the survey.

Televoting Service
 Tele voting is a service by which a telephone
subscriber can indicate his opinion on any matter
by dialing an IN number of the service subscriber
followed by a single digit for the opinion. This
service is very useful where large number of TV
programs are operating incentive schemes to
increase/retain their viewers
