Q:什么是BICC协议？BICC协议是什么意思？

BICC协议由ITU-T SG11研究组完成标准化，由ISUP协议演进而来，是一种在骨干网中实现使用与业务承载无关的呼叫的控制协议。BICC定义了信令传送转换器（STC）、应用传送机制（APM）、承载控制隧道协议（BCTP）和IP承载控制协议（IPBCP）。通过点编码建立信令联系，信令链路通过静态SCTP连接，BICC节点中采用正常呼叫的选路原则选定路由，为呼叫的信令建立通路。信令信息利用信令传送转换器转换之后，采用APM传送BICC特定的控制信息。

BICC协议的主要目的是解决呼叫控制和承载控制分离的问题，使呼叫控制信令可在各种网络上承载，包括MTP(消息传递部分)、SS7网络、ATM网络、IP网络。BICC协议由ISUP(ISDN用户部分)演变而来，是传统电信网络向综合多业务网络演进的重要支撑工具。

BICC协议把支持BICC信令的节点分为服务节点（SN）和呼叫协调节点（CMN），SN具有承载控制功能（BCF），CMN不具有承载控制功能。对于SN，呼叫功能和承载控制功能在物理上既可以分开，也可以不分开。如果分开，那么呼叫功能和承载控制功能实体需要用呼叫承载控制（CBC）信令来发送消息。SN和CMN都使用“半呼叫”模型，每个完整的呼叫分为“入局”和“出局”呼叫，所允许的连接类型有3.1kHz音频、64 kbit/s、２×64 kbit/s、384 kbit/s、1536 kbit/s、1920 kbit/s、N×64 kbit/s?N＝2～30等。BICC信令消息包括初始地址消息（IAM）、地址全消息（ACM）、应答消息（ANM）、CIC系列消息，等等。

BICC从真正意义上解决了呼叫控制和承载控制相分离的问题，可以用于任何承载网络，如ATM、IP、STM。ATM具有很好的QoS保证和呼叫处理能力，BICC能够更好地支持ATM网络承载，这可能是业界看好BICC的原因之一。

2002年6月，中国信息产业部颁布了四套BICC相关国家标准：《与承载无关的呼叫控制（BICC）规范第1部分：BICC的功能》、《与承载无关的呼叫控制（BICC）规范 第２部分：BICC的消息、参数的基本功能和格式》、《与承载无关的呼叫控制（BICC）规范 第3部分：BICC的程序》、《与承载无关的呼叫控制（BICC）规范第４部分：BICC的应用传送机制（APM）、隧道和IP承载控制协议（BCTP）》。由此可见，BICC协议在中国、在NGN中必将得到很好的实施与应用

 

SS7/C7 protocol suite covers all 7 layers of the OSI model as showing in the following diagram:

 

ASP	Application Service Part	ASP provides the functions of Layers 4 through 6 of the OSI model.
BICC	Bearer Independent Call Control protocol	BICC is a call control protocol based on ISUP used between serving nodes to support the ISDN services independent of the bearer technology and signalling message transport technology used.
BISUP	B-ISDN User Part	BISUP is an ATM protocol intended to support services such as high-definition television (HDTV), multilingual TV, voice and image storage and retrieval, video conferencing, high-speed LANs and multimedia.
DUP	Data User Part	DUP defines the necessary call control, and facility registration and cancellation related elements for international common channel signalling by use of SS7 for circuit-switched data transmission services.
ISUP	ISDN User Part	ISUP supports basic telephone call connect/disconnect between end offices. ISUP was derived from TUP, but supports ISDN and intelligent networking functions. ISUP also links the cellular and PCS network to the PSTN.
MAP	Mobile Application Part	MAP is used to share cellular subscriber information among different networks.
MTP	Message Transfer Part	MTP acrosses physical, data link and network layers. It defines what interface to be used, provides the network with sequenced delivery of all SS7 message packets; and provides routing, message discrimination and message distribution functions.
SCCP	Signalling Connection Control Part	SCCP provides end-to-end routing. SCCP is required for routing TCAP messages to their proper database.
TCAP	Transaction Capabilities Application Part	TCAP facilitates connection to an external database
TUP	Telephone User Part	TUP is an analog protocol that performs basic telephone call connect and disconnect.
