Abstract

Intelligent Networking involves the interconnection of intelligent nodes such as switches and real time data bases via extended signaling to provide value added services and features. In the context of Intelligent Network Conceptual Model (INCM), these value added services have become a standard for the modern telecommunications industries. A wide variety of networking technologies are also now available to address the rapidly emerging class of bandwidth intensive applications. These broadband networking technologies include the fast-packet schemes, such as frame relay (SONET/SDH) and cell relay (ATM).;In this research, the intelligent networking will take one step further supporting any kind of communication networks intelligent services next to the current IN services based on circuit switched networks. The intelligent ATM networking is also able to support any type of service. By developing an open intelligent ATM platform including universal signaling system and management system, we aim to develop a truly virtual community where most of the broadband real time information can be accessible anytime and anywhere provided the ATM backbone can be deployed.;The basis of Intelligent ATM Networks is to provide intelligent services by accessing multiplicity of SCP's. These SCP's will be a network connecting different Files Servers. These services may include voice-based information services as well as other special. Unlike the current Intelligent Networking where an SSP is triggered for IN services related to telephony, the futuristic intelligent ATM networking the file servers will be triggered for intelligent services related to any type of communication service. The access to the file servers will be invoked by a trigger from a local or tandem switching access point. Although the signaling network which will be based on X.25 protocol at the beginning, it is expected that the signaling network will also be based on the ATM protocol using a quasi-associated mode with the current X.25 protocol.;In both these cases, new modules are to be defined. It is suggested that the signaling network will be based on a cell command and a fiber for transmission. A generic FireWall type of separation from the traditional voice and data network is suggested. In this network, a bank of super computers will have the ability to process any kind of query, data, information or knowledge or even an intelligent service request, create a cell based command, and then access to a large number of file servers through a localized ATM network for more instructions relating to the query. The ATM cell should be modified to distinguish between the type of query. In case of an intelligent service request, the call control processing element will change the structure of the cell header by making the reserved bit a 0 instead of the default 1. The ATM fabric will recognize the cells requiring special attention and forward them to the right IP germane to the type of service.;This study suggests a global architecture for Intelligent ATM Networks, signaling and transport, and some new elements still need to be defined. The ATM cell header is modified to facilitate the ATM intelligent services. The current electronic switching system need only minor modifications to include the effect of distributed processing. A national Intelligent ATM Platform also needs to be evolved for extended simulation results.
