 Orange LABs – 2011 work with Mobicents JAIN SLEE
 Mobicents IN – 2012 Work plan
 IN/HTTP Broker solution on Mobicents
 Conclusions - Why Mobicents JAIN SLEE (+ IN/HTTP Network GW)

3. Orange Labs work with Mobicents in 2011 - Telco Web GW
solution 1/2
 Goal was to provide HTTP/REST web services based on Telco network resources for Web applications
 Pure R&D platform dedicated for internal developments (demo services)
 And for students community – development of Web applications in Telco 2.0 concept
 Planned to use also in development community in Africa (Orange countries) – Emerginov initiative:
http://www.emerginov.fr
 Developed web services:
 SMS send/receive (SMSC integration)
 MMS send/receive (MMSC integration)
 Subscriber Location (based on network GMLC)
 Terminal Status
 USSD send notification/ receive (MAP integration HLR)
 Used Mobicents components:
 SS7 v 1.0.0.CR1
 JSLEE 2.3.0.FINAL
 SMPP RA
 HTTP RAs
 MAP RA (USSD part)

4. Orange Labs work with Mobicents in 2011 - Telco Web GW
solution 2/2
 Co-operating telecommunication network
elements:
 SMSC Acision (SMPP 3.4/5.0)
 GMLC – Gateway Mobile Location
Center (communication via MLP/HTTP)
 MMSC – Multimedia Messaging Center
from Orange PL network –
communication via (MM7/HTTP)
 HLR - commercial Orange PL network –
via protocol SS7/MAP

5. Mobicents IN – 2012 work plan
Context: Mobicents by Orange (for Sip servlets) + Mobicents evolutions to support IN features
 An opportunity to have a SIP / IN open source middleware. Expose a higher level API for developers that do not have
Jainslee / IN skills.
 Installation newest versions of jSS7, JAIN SLEE, SS7 RA (MAP, CAP)
 Validate Mobicents MAP and CAPv2 interfaces over SIGTRAN
– Connect to NSN signaling GW – hiS 700 (M3UA), - optional adaptation of jSS7
– Validate the MAP and CAP RA; focus on the features used by the IN/HTTP Network GW.
– Both SS7 RA are based on jSS7 stack
 Develop an IN / HTTP Network GW
– The Objective is to have an industrial, Open Source, “Basic IN/HTTP Network GW” for Basic HLR access
(MAP) and Basic Call Control (CAP v2)
– The following features should be supported:
• MAP / Basic HLR access : Any Time Interrogation usage (typically to get subscriberstate, CellID, actual MSC,VLR
address and determine if the subscriber is roaming); Send Routing Information to get the MSRN; Get Location /
vlrNumber; Etc…
• CAP v2 / Basic Call Control : Call event (InitialDP DP2, DP12, DP3), optional supervision (RRB, EDP), Call handling
(Continue, Connect, ReleaseCall…)…
• Stability, performance tests

6. IN/HTTP Broker solution on Mobicents – detailed
architecture  Two main components
 JSLEE container
 jSS7 Mobicents stack
 Components marked with gray are developed by
Mobicents community – so we assume:
 validation, optionally small adaptation
 Bug reporting, etc.
 Components marked with green will be developed by
OLP:
 SBBs - translation logic
 CAP RA already started by the community (OLP
contribution assumed)
 MAP RA, validation, optionally adaptation adding
required operations
 jSS7 is based on SIGTRAN connection (optionally
E1 connection is possible via dedicated HW – not
assumed for first release of IN/HTTP broker)
 Management of SS7 configuration is done via
dedicated shell client application
 Management/configuration of IN/HTTP broker logic
is based on external DB (PostgreSQL or MySQL)

7. Conclusions: - Why Mobicents IN JAIN
SLEE (+ IN/HTTP Network GW)
 For now it is R&D work only
 Possible to use in the future for some small solution /platform, fast
deployments
 JSLEE IN is an extension of „Mobicents by Orange” project – solution for SIP
servlet:
 Used when application requires small IN(MAP/CAP) feature
 IN part may be co-deployed on the same Mobicents server
 Open source
 Low cost
 Orange home development, - fast extension adaptation
