Abstract:The introduction of Intelligent Network (IN) functionality to broadband networks with conventional signalling systems allows the fast and future safe provision of advanced multimedia services. Since novel services will require intense interactions with the network resulting in the exchange of a high number of control messages, the distribution of IN functional entities to network elements becomes a dominant factor in the overall system performance. In this paper we analyze the functions required for an integra… Show more
