On selection of IS-41 SPIRITS mobility-related parameters
This document describes IS-41 mobility-related parameters (WIN information and its encoding) which the SPIRITS protocol can transport from the PSTN (wireline, as well as wireless) into the IP network. The SPIRITS protocol is a protocol through which PSTN can request actions (services) to be carried out in the IP network in response to events occurring within the PSTN/IN (wireline, as well as wireless). This draft outlines, what IS-41 mobility-ralated parameters are of immediate interest to SPIRITS, how they may be extracted and encoded for use within the SPIRITS domain. IS-41 is used as an example protocol to clarify the SPIRITS message encoding process. This Internet-Draft has been written in response to the SPIRITS WG chairs' call for SPIRITS Protocol proposals. It may be viewed as being a direct contribution to the Informational RFC on the SPIRITS protocol parameters. Section 1 of this document gives background of wireless cellular communication networks, including Core Networks, Section 2 gives a backgrouder for the Wireless Intelligent Network (WIN). Sections 3 and 4 briefly explain WIN Functional and Physical entities. Section 5 provides WIN BCSM Description. Section 6 gives ASN.1 Notation for the selected WIN Parameters. Sections 7, 8, 9, 10 and 11 respectively provide Acknowledgements, References, Author's Address, Acronyms and Full Copyright Statement, as required. Addendum 1 contains figures.
