Recommendation X.353
ROUTING PRINCIPLES FOR INTERCONNECTING PUBLIC MARITIME
MOBILE SATELLITE DATA TRANSMISSION SYSTEMS
WITH PUBLIC DATA NETWORKS
(Malaga-Torremolinos, 1984; amended at Melbourne, 1988)
The CCITT,
considering
(a) that a Public Maritime Mobile Satellite Service is now
being operated by the International Maritime Satellite Organization
(INMARSAT);
(b) that the mobile subscribers may have access to the
service through a number of coast earth stations located in
different countries;
(c) that interworking between the mobile satellite data
transmission systems and the public data networks is required;
(d) that Recommendation X.110 specifies routing principles
for international data services, Recommendation X.121 specifies the
international numbering plan for public data networks and
Recommendation E.215/F.215 provides for internationally unique
mobile earth station identification;
(e) that new mobile systems for maritime and aeronautical
applications are being defined,
unanimously recommends
that the following routing principles should apply for setting
up calls between subscribers of the public data networks and users
of international public maritime mobile satellite data transmission
systems.
1 General
1.1 Definitions
Figure 1/X.353 shows the composition of systems in the Public
Maritime Mobile Satellite Service. For definition of the various
elements see Recommendation X.350.
The mobile satellite data switching exchange (MSDSE) is
defined in ñ 1.7 of Recommendation X.350.
1.2 Role of the MSDSE
A MSDSE will at the same time act as an international gateway
and as an interface to the mobile earth stations. Within an ocean
area a public maritime mobile earth station may set up or receive
data calls from any MSDSE in that region. Each ocean area may
contain a number of MSDSEs.
One MSDSE may have access to more than one satellite, and thus
may serve more than one ocean area.
One MSDSE may serve one or more public maritime mobile
systems.
The MSDSE may be connected to more than one international data
switching exchange (IDSE) in a PDN. The MSDSE may also be connected
to IDSEs in different PDNs.
This Recommendation assumes that a PDN does not connect to
more than one MSDSE serving the same ocean area and Public Maritime
Mobile Satellite System (such as INMARSAT Standard A, B and C).
2 Routing of mobile earth station originated calls
2.1 A public maritime mobile earth station calling a land network
subscriber
The mobile earth station selects one MSDSE in the ocean area
by signalling procedures defined within the mobile satellite
service. The mobile user should be advised to place the call
through an MSDSE which is near to the called subscriber in order to
avoid long terrestrial routes.
The public maritime mobile earth station subscriber provides
the international data number of the called subscriber to the MSDSE
which will forward the call through its associated IDSE (or through
the most appropriate IDSE if the MSDSE is connected to more than
one IDSE).
Figure 1/X.353 - CCITT 55181
2.2 A public maritime mobile earth station calling another mobile
earth station
If the two public maritime mobile earth stations are in the
same ocean area or are in different ocean areas covered by the same
MSDSE, the MSDSE sets up the call directly to the called public
maritime mobile earth station so that only one MSDSE will be
involved in the call.
Note - If the MSDSE does not have full switching capability,
the call will first be routed to its associated IDSE and then back
again to the MSDSE.
If the two public maritime mobile earth stations are in
different ocean areas which are not both covered by the same MSDSE,
the calling MSDSE will route the call in accordance with ñ 2.1
above.
2.3 Routing of special service requests
Certain services (e.g., access to data bases for navigational
warnings, weather forecasts, etc.) may be accessed by use of
special short number codes defined within the public maritime
mobile satellite systems. Such abbreviated codes require conversion
to the full international data number before the call can be
forwarded from the MSDSE to a PDN.
2.4 Information provided to mobile earth stations
Administrations operating MSDSEs should prepare and maintain
information for mobile earth stations with regard to the
administration's routing capabilities towards various destinations.
3 Routing of land originated calls to public maritime mobile
earth stations
3.1 Routing principles
According to Recommendation X.121, one DNIC is allocated for
each ocean area. The structure of these DNICs is 111S where S
specifies the ocean area. The values assigned are found in
Recommendation X.121.
Further, the first digit of the following Network Terminal
Number in the public maritime mobile-satellite system is the ╥T╙
digit defined in Recommendation E.215/F.125 which is used for
discrimination between different public maritime mobile satellite
systems.
A calling user can only indicate which ocean area and public
maritime mobile satellite systems (such as INMARSAT Standard A, B
and C) type is addressed, and cannot select a specified MSDSE.
Therefore each originating and/or transit network has normally to
route data calls within one of the public maritime mobile system
DNICs to pre-determined MSDSE which serves the ocean area and
system type as indicated by the DNIC and T digit according to
bilateral agreement between the administration of origin and the
administration operating the MSDSE. Thus, analysis of five digits
of the called number is required for routing purposes.
Similar agreements need to be made with administrations
operating transit networks which will be involved in establishing
the connection.
Situations may arise when two administrations are using the
same transit network for routing their calls to two different
MSDSEs within the same ocean area, i.e., two MSDSEs with the same
DNIC and T digit. This will be solved by routing the call according
to the DNIC of the administration of origin.
3.2 Routing on facility field information
If the MSDSE (or the associated transit network) does not
provide for a given facility, the administration may choose to set
up calls requesting such a facility via another MSDSE or transit
network than that normally used by the administration rather than
barring the call.
3.3 Re-routing of calls at the MSDSE
MSDSEs that have access to two satellites may have the
capability of re-routing calls between the coverage areas of the
two satellites. The re-routing of calls by the MSDSE enables a land
user to have calls re-routed to another data number (but to the
same public maritime mobile earth station), which only differs in
ocean area, when a mobile earth station is absent from the ocean
area indicated by the original data number. The re-routing of a
call between the two ocean areas covered by the MSDSE should be
carried out only once.
The condition for re-routing is that the public maritime
mobile earth station is included in the list of earth stations and
is not barred from incoming access.
The DNIC to be returned as part of the called line
identification, or whether a called line identification should be
returned in such cases, is for further study.
General re-routing of calls based on the information contained
in a mobile satellite location register is desirable. This may
require changes to existing X-Series Recommendations and to the
public maritime mobile satellite system specifications and is
therefore left for further study.
Note - See also ñ 3.1.
4 Group calls
In general, calls with a group address (as defined in
Recommendation E.215/F.125) should be barred. Such addresses are
public maritime mobile earth station numbers with a T digit 0. The
call should preferably be barred in the network of origin. However,
the MSDSE must in any case be capable of barring such calls. (See
also Recommendation X.350.)
5 Use of satellite links
The link between the coast earth station and a public maritime
mobile earth station is always a satellite link.
To provide acceptable Quality of Service, a limited number of
satellite links should be permitted on a data connection. (See
Annex B to Recommendation X.110.)
Hence, for a call destined to a public maritime mobile earth
station, all transit exchanges should recognize from the
destination DNIC of 111S that the final link is a satellite link
and perform routing so that the maximum permitted transit delay
from the calling user to the called user is not exceeded.
Note - The mechanism for a transit network to determine the
transit delay already experienced in setting-up a call is for
further study.
