- Recommendation I.255 - Community Of Interest Supplementary Services
-
-
-
- The purpose of this Recommendation is to provide the stage 1 description of the method defined in Recommendation I.130
- using the means given in RecommendationI.210.
-
-
-
- Supplementary services are described by a prose definition and description (step 1.1) and by a dynamic description
- (step 1.3). The application of the attribute technique, as defined in Recommendation I.140, for supplementary services is
- for further study.
-
-
-
- This Recommendation describes the following community of interest supplementary services:
-
-
-
- 1.255.1 Closed User Group (CUG)
-
- 1.255.2 Private Numbering Plan (PNP) (Note 1)
-
-
-
- Note 1 - This service being identified needs to be further studied and the description is not yet included.
-
-
-
- I.255.1 Closed User Group
-
-
-
- 1. Definition
-
-
-
- The supplementary service Closed User Group (CUG) enables users to form groups, to and from which access is
- restricted. A specific user may be a member of one or more CUGs. Members of a specific CUG can communicate among
- themselves but not, in general, with users outside the group. Specific CUG members can have additional capabilities that
- allow them to originate calls outside the group, and/or to receive calls from outside the group. Specific CUG members can
- have additional restrictions that prevent them from originating calls to other members of the CUG, or from receiving calls
- from other members of the CUG.
-
-
-
- Note - With the definition of ISDN networking service, their relationship with CUG needs to be studied.
-
-
-
- 2. Description
-
-
-
- 2.1 General description
-
-
-
- A CUG is a list of users which may be a member(s) of one or several public networks; each ISDN member of a CUG is
- identified by an ISDN number.
-
-
-
- A CUG may be defined independently of any basic service, or in relation with one, or a list of basic services.
-
-
-
- Note - In the case of ISPBXs some administrations will accept ISPBX extensions as CUG members. Other administrations
- will consider the whole ISPBX as a CUG member. In the former case, it is possible for an ISPBX to establish relations
- between subsets of its users and public CUGs, but this is not perceived at the user-network interface.
-
-
-
- 2.1.1 Access arrangements
-
-
-
- A user may be a member of several CUGs. Each service provider may define the maximum number of CUGs which can
- be allocated to an individual subscriber. When subscribed to at least one CUG, a user may subscribe to one of the following
- access arrangements (Note - This information is held by the provider of this service):
-
-
-
- - closed user group (c);
-
-
-
- - closed user group with incoming access (c+i);
-
-
-
- - closed user group with outgoing access (c+o);
-
-
-
- - closed user group with incoming and outgoing access (c+i+o).
-
-
-
- A user may subscribe to one of two additional access restrictions within each particular CUG:
-
-
-
- - incoming calls barred within a CUG (icb);
-
-
-
- - outgoing calls barred within a CUG (ocb).
-
-
-
- All of these cases are illustrated in Appendix 1.
-
-
-
- i) CUG only capabilities
-
-
-
- The user may make calls to, and receive calls from, members of those CUGs of which the user is a member (see case
- 1 in Appendix 1).
-
-
-
- An exception to this is when either incoming calls barred within the CUG or outgoing calls barred within the CUG
- applies.
-
-
-
- Incoming calls barred within the CUG:
-
-
-
- This access restriction means that a CUG-user is prohibited from
-
- receiving calls from users subscribed to the same CUG. This access restriction is given per CUG-user and CUG (see
- case 2 in Appendix 1);
-
-
-
- Outgoing calls barred within the CUG:
-
-
-
- This access restriction means that a CUG-user is prohibited from
-
- making calls to users subscribed to the same CUG. This access restriction is given per CUG user and CUG (see
- case 3 in Appendix 1).
-
-
-
- The network shall provide a preferential CUG option whereby one
-
- of the user's CUGs (or the only one if a single CUG applies) is used as a preferential CUG. If the user sets up
- a call with no CUG facility request, the network assumes that the preferential CUG is requested (i.e., preferen-
- tial CUG is the default).
-
-
-
-
-
- ii) CUG with outgoing access
-
-
-
- The user may make and receive calls in the same way with the same exception as in i). In addition, this user can
- make calls to all other non-CUG users, and to those other CUG users who allow incoming access. Incoming calls are
- only allowed from members of the user's CUG(s). (See cases 4, 5, and 6 in Appendix 1.)
-
-
-
- iii) CUG with incoming access
-
-
-
- They make and receive calls in the same way with the exceptions as in i). In addition, this user may receive calls
- from any non-CUG user and also from other CUG users who have outgoing access. Outgoing calls are only allowed to
- members of the user's CUG(s). (See cases 7, 8, and 9 in Appendix 1.)
-
-
-
- iv) CUG with incoming and outgoing access
-
-
-
- The outgoing access and incoming access can be offered simultaneously to the user by the service provider.
-
-
-
- 2.1.2 Interaction between the options "Preferential CUG" and "Outgoing Access"
-
-
-
- Both options imply that no subscriber procedures are needed to invoke either of the options when placing a call.
- When a user subscribes to both options, the service provider does not know which option the user is invoking, if no
- additional subscriber procedures are used when placing the call.
-
-
-
- Three ways of operating are recommended:
-
-
-
- 1. The user has to indicate if a call is intended to be an outgoing access call. If no information (CUG request or
- outgoing call request) is given, the preferential CUG is assumed;
-
-
-
- 2. The combination is not allowed, i.e. a user cannot have both options allocated at the same time;
-
-
-
- 3. The caller may make a call and the network will route the call with the preferential CUG and an outgoing
- access request. The call will therefore be connected if the called number is a member of the preferential CUG or
- is a member of a different CUG and has incoming access, or is a non-CUG user.
-
-
-
- The choice of operation is a national option.
-
-
-
- 2.2 Specific terminology
-
-
-
- None.
-
-
-
- 2.3 Qualifications on the applicability to telecommunications services
-
-
-
- None identified.
-
-
-
- 3. Procedures
-
-
-
- 3.1 Provision/withdrawal
-
-
-
- The CUG service is provided on a subscription basis. As a network provider option, CUGs can be offered with
- several subscription options. The subscriber options may apply separately to each ISDN number and basic service,
- or apply to a particular ISDN number for a set of basic services.
-
-
-
- Subscription option Value
-
-
-
- Closed User Groups -List of one or more CUGs
-
-
-
- Preferential CUG -none designated
-
- Note - User must always specify a preferential CUG when the type
- of inter- CUG access option is set to none
-
- -CUG value
-
-
-
- Type of inter-CUG access -None
-
- (in/out of CUG) -Outgoing access
-
- -Incoming access
-
- -Outgoing and incoming access
-
-
-
- Intra-CUG restrictions -None
-
- -Incoming (terminating) calls barred
-
- -Outgoing (originating) calls barred
-
-
-
- 3.2 Normal procedures
-
-
-
- 3.2.1 Activation/deactivation/registration
-
-
-
- Not required.
-
-
-
- 3.2.2 Invocation and operation
-
-
-
- Normal call setup procedures will apply to all CUG calls. In addition, the network shall carry out internal checks to
- determine whether or not the particular call is allowed between the two parties concerned.
-
-
-
- 3.2.2.1 Outgoing (originating) calls
-
-
-
- At the time of call setup the user specifies a CUG index to indicate that service to a particular CUG is requested.
- This is achieved by the user, including a request for a CUG service and the relevant CUG index in setting up his call. The
- CUG indices are allocated by prior arrangements with the service provider. Withdrawal of the CUG service, or indices will
- be an action of the service provider at the request of the user or due to service provider reason.
-
-
-
- When requesting an outgoing access capability, the user makes a normal call.
-
-
-
- If the user sets up a call without requesting the CUG service and the user has a preferential CUG, the network
- assumes that the preferential CUG is requested.
-
-
-
- The choice of preferential CUG will only be alterable by service provider action.
-
-
-
- 3.2.2.2 Incoming (terminating) calls
-
-
-
- An incoming call from another CUG member will be indicated to the called CUG user with a CUG indication and the
- appropriate CUG index.
-
-
-
- An incoming call from a non-CUG user, assuming that the called CUG user has incoming access allowed, will con-
- tain no CUG related information in the call offering message.
-
-
-
- An incoming call from a CUG user using outgoing access, to a CUG user subscribed to a different CUG but with
- incoming access, will contain no CUG related information in the call offering message.
-
-
-
- 3.3 Exceptional procedures
-
-
-
- 3.3.1 Activation/deactivation/registration
-
-
-
- None identified.
-
-
-
- 3.3.2 Invocation and operation
-
-
-
- Upon receipt of a request for CUG service the network shall check its validity in conjunction with the access capa-
- bilities contained in the user profile. If a non-valid request is received or the checks cannot be performed, then thenet-
- work shall reject the call and return an appropriate indication to the calling user.
-
-
-
- If, due to an interworking situation, signalling in the network is not able to carry the information required to provide
- the service, the call attempt is terminated and an appropriate cause information is given to the calling user.
-
-
-
- 3.4 Alternative procedures
-
-
-
- 3.4.1 Activation/deactivation/registration
-
-
-
- None identified.
-
-
-
- 3.4.2 Invocation and operation
-
-
-
- None identified.
-
-
-
- 4. Network capabilities for charging
-
-
-
- This Recommendation does not cover charging principles. Future Recommendations in the D-Series are expected to
- contain that information. It shall be possible to charge the subscriber accurately for the service.
-
-
-
- 5. Interworking requirements
-
-
-
- A CUG may span over several networks. In this case the responsibility for the management of this CUG is in one of
- these networks; in addition there is a need for a CUG identification mechanism that would be accepted by all of the
- encompassed networks. One such mechanism presently exists for CUGs spanning over data networks having X.121 as
- the numbering plan (see Recommendation X.180 Administrative Arrangements for International Closed User Groups). An
- equivalent mechanism should be defined for CUGs on networks using the E.164 numbering plan, or on networks which
- do not use the same numbering plan.
-
-
-
- 6. Interaction with other supplementary services
-
-
-
- The intention of CUG is to allow some connections and prohibit others. No supplementary service interaction should
- be allowed which could compromise this intention.
-
-
-
- 6.1 Call waiting
-
-
-
- No impact, i.e. neither supplementary service affects the operation of the other supplementary service.
-
-
-
- 6.2 Call transfer
-
-
-
- The CUG-restrictions must be met:
-
-
-
- between the calling/called party and the transferring party,
-
-
-
- between the transferring party and the transferred-to-party,
-
-
-
- between the calling/called party and the transferred-to-party.
-
-
-
- If all and only if all the above statements are fulfilled, the transfer of the call is allowed.
-
-
-
- 6.3 Connected line identification presentation
-
-
-
- No impact, i.e. neither supplementary service affects the operation of the other supplementary service.
-
-
-
- 6.4 Connected line identification restriction
-
-
-
- No impact, i.e. neither supplementary service affects the operation of the other supplementary service.
-
-
-
- 6.5 Calling line identification presentation
-
-
-
- No impact, i.e. neither supplementary service affects the operation of the other supplementary service.
-
-
-
- 6.6 Calling line identification restriction
-
-
-
- It is an option to allow invocation of CLIR in connection with a CUG call.
-
-
-
- 6.7 Closed user group
-
-
-
- Not applicable.
-
-
-
- 6.8 Conference calling

- before the new conferee is allowed to enter the conference.
-
-
-
- 6.9 Direct dialling-in
-
-
-
- No impact, i.e. neither supplementary service affects the operation of the other supplementary service.
