 2. Limitation of MTP ：

1 、 OPC and DPC of MTP are not for global purpose

2 、 Maximum Number of different users are 16.

3 、 MTP can not provide logic connection and can not be used for
packet exchange that does not need to establish voice trunk.

4 、 MTP can only be used in connectionless services, but not use

d to services of Connection-oriented.

3 、 Definition of SCCP
SCCP (Signaling Connection and Control Part )
is one of the protocols of SS7 regulated by ITU. It
provides supplementary functions for MTP, so as to
realize transmission of signaling information which
is either circuit-related or non circuit-related
and other types of information between switches and
between switch and special usage center, and to
establish connectionless and connection-oriented
network services.
4. Function of SCCP
1) Additional addressing function
SCCP combined with the MTP3 is realized the network
layer of OSI.
SCCP provides additional addressing information:SSN;
SSN:Sub System Number
ssn can identify more users of SCCP in a signaling node.

 2) Address translator function

•SCCP will provide more address mode (GT and DPC+SSN)

•GT （ globe title)is the number of a numbering plan ， it

is used for the cases that original SP do not know the DPC
of destination SP.
•SCCP can translate the GT into DPC+SSN or combination
of new GT,so as to mtp3 can use the address to transfer
the messages.
 SCCP offers service classification
connectionless services ：

（ 1 ） basic connectionless classification ( classification 0 ）

data is transferred without a fixed connection or session

（ 2 ） sequenced connectionless classification （ classification

1）
data is transferred without a fixed connection or session,but in sequence.

Connection- -oriented services ：

（ 3 ） basic Connection-oriented classification （ classification 2 ）

a session is initiated prior to the transfer of data

（ 4 ） Flow control Connection-oriented classification （ classification

3）
a session is initiated prior to the transfer of data,the data is transferred in sequence.

SCCP Addressing and routing
SCCP address and code
SCCP application in ZXC10
1. 3 types of SCCP address

•Signaling Point Code(SPC)

•Sub-System Number(SSN)
•Global Title(GT)
 •Signaling Point Code(SPC)

It is used for MTP addressing .MTP identify the different user

according to the DPC and SI(service identification)

•Sub-System Number

It is used for distinguishing the different SCCP user in the same

node.
•Global Title (GT)

•Global Title is a number that include location information, fo

r example MSC IN or IMSI number.

•Usually GT is the number of coding plan in ITU-T.

•The GT routing mode can be used in case the source signalin

g point and some STPs do not know the final DPC.

•SCCP can send messages via networks in two

mode:
---GT routing
---DPC+SSN routing.
2. the GT addressing and DPC+SSN addressing

•The main difference between the two routing modes GT

and DPC+SSN lies when STP exists between the
beginning signaling point and the ending signaling
point.
•The DPC+SSN routing mode requires that all signaling
points in the network, including the source signaling
point, the destination signaling point, and STP can
identify the DPC of this destination signaling point.
After signaling arrives at the middle node, it is directly
sent via the MTP layer, instead of the SCCP layer. In
this case, the source signaling point and STP should
configure more DPC data.
•The GT routing mode can be used in case the source signaling
point and some STPs do not know the final DPC of this signali
ng. When signaling is sent to STP, GT shall be first translated
via SCCP into the DPC of the ending signaling point or next S
TP, then messages can be transferred to MTP for transfer.
•In GT routing, the source signaling point needs only to send si
gnaling to STP according to the GT number prefix, so that STP
can further translate it to determine whether to send it to the ne
xt STP or destination signaling point. In this case, the source si
gnaling point and STP need to configure much less DPC data.
