Mc Interface Introduction
 Media Gateway Control (MGC):
 Responsible for maintaining the connecting and controlling status of media
channel in MGW.
 Media Gateway (MGW):
 Responsible for media streams exchanging and format-converting. For
example, MGW convert the messages format transmitted in TDM bearer to
other formats which can be transmitted in IP network.
MSC Server GMSC Server
(MSOFTX3000) (MSOFTX3000)  Mc interface is a new
interface determined in
Nc
3GPP R4, which is a
standard interface between

Mc Interface Function
 The Mc interface provides the capabilities of the static and dynamic
resources for the MSC Server (GMSC Server) controlling the various
transmission modes (IP/ATM/TDM) in the MGW in the call processing
procedure, such as terminal property, terminal connection switching
relationship, MGW borne media streams.

 The Mc interface also provides the call independent MGW status


maintenance and management capability.

H.248 Protocol Introduction
 H.248/MEGACO has been jointly developed within the ITU-T and the
IETF. It is named H.248 by the ITU-T and MEGACO by the IETF.

 H.248 is a kind of Media Gateway Control Protocol, in separated


Gateway model of Soft Switch Network, H.248 protocol is used for
the communication between a media gateway controller (MGC) and a
media gateway (MGW), implementing the function of the MGC
controlling MGWs.

 As one of the application layer protocols in OSI, H.248 protocol


supported by three kinds of transport protocol (UDP, SCTP, MTP3B),
and only SCTP and MTP3B used in Mobile Network.

H.248 Protocol Application
 As one of Media Gateway Control Protocols, the H.248
protocol is applied on the Mc interface in UMTS core network.

H.248 Protocol Stack
 H.248 protocol is one of application layer protocol, which can be transported
on IP (as shown in Figure a) or ATM (as shown in Figure b). At present we
usually use IP to transport H.248 protocol.

H.248 Code Format
 In H.248 protocol, one information unit is called a message,
which is coded by binary format or text format.

 MGC must support both formats, while MGW support either


one. All H.248 messages have same structure.

Questions
 What is Mc interface? and which protocol is applied on
Mc interface?

 How many kinds of code format are used in H.248


protocol?
