Foreword
This European Standard (Telecommunications series) has been produced by ETSI Technical Committee Signalling
Protocols and Switching (SPS).
The present document is part 1 of a multi-part standard covering the Digital Subscriber Signalling System No. one (DSS1)
protocol specification for the Integrated Services Digital Network (ISDN) diversion supplementary services, as
described below:
Part 1: "Protocol specification";
Part 2: "Protocol Implementation Conformance Statement (PICS) proforma specification";
Part 3: "Test Suite Structure and Test Purposes (TSS&TP) specification for the user";
Part 4: "Abstract Test Suite (ATS) and partial Protocol Implementation eXtra Information for Testing (PIXIT)
proforma specification for the user";
Part 5: "Test Suite Structure and Test Purposes (TSS&TP) specification for the network";
Part 6: "Abstract Test Suite (ATS) and partial Protocol Implementation eXtra Information for Testing (PIXIT)
proforma specification for the network".
In accordance with CCITT Recommendation I.130 [3], the following three level structure is used to describe the
supplementary telecommunication services as provided by European public telecommunications operators under the
pan-European ISDN:
- Stage 1: is an overall service description, from the user's standpoint;
- Stage 2: identifies the functional capabilities and information flows needed to support the service described in
stage 1; and
- Stage 3: defines the signalling system protocols and switching functions needed to implement the service described
in stage 1.
The present document details the stage 3 aspects (signalling system protocols and switching functions) needed to support
the ECT supplementary service. The stage 1 and stage 2 aspects are detailed in EN 300 367 [15] and ETS 300 368 [16],
respectively.

1 Scope
This first part of EN 300 369 specifies the stage three of the Explicit Call Transfer (ECT) supplementary service for the
pan-European Integrated Services Digital Network (ISDN) as provided by European public telecommunications operators
at the T reference point or coincident S and T reference point (as defined in ITU-T Recommendation I.411 [5]) by means
of the Digital Subscriber Signalling System No. one (DSS1) protocol. Stage three identifies the protocol procedures and
switching functions needed to support a telecommunication service (see CCITT Recommendation I.130 [3]).
In addition, the present document specifies the protocol requirements at the T reference point where the service is
provided to the user via an intermediate private ISDN.
The present document does not specify the additional protocol requirements where the service is provided to the user via
a telecommunications network that is not an ISDN.
The ECT supplementary service enables a user who has two calls, each of which can be an incoming call or an outgoing
call, to connect together the other users in the two calls, into one call. One of the two calls shall be answered, the other
call can be either answered or, as a network option, in the alerting phase.
The ECT supplementary service is applicable to all circuit-switched basic telecommunication services using one
B-channel.
Further parts of EN 300 369 specify the method of testing required to identify conformance to the present document.
The present document is applicable to equipment supporting the ECT supplementary service, to be attached at either side
of a T reference point or coincident S and T reference point when used as an access to the public ISDN.

5 Description
The ECT supplementary service enables a user (user A) who has two calls, each of which can be an incoming call or an
outgoing call, to connect together the other users in the two calls, into one call. One of the two calls shall be answered, the
other call can be either answered or, as a network option, in the alerting phase. At the coincident S and T reference point,
the two calls shall be controlled using the same data link connection identified by the same CEI value.

SIST EN 300 369-1 V1.2.4:2005
10 EN 300 369-1 V1.2.4 (1998-10)
As a network provider option the ECT supplementary service can be provided at the T reference point.
When the ECT supplementary service is invoked, the served user shall send a message to the network, identifying the
users to be connected. The network responds by releasing both calls at user A and establishing a connection between
user B and user C, and at the same time sending a notification of the transfer to both users B and C. See also
EN 300 367 [15], clause 5.
The procedures are currently restricted to basic telecommunication services involving a single 64 kbit/s connection. The
present document is not applicable to a video telephony call involving two 64 kbit/s connections.
6 Operational requirements
6.1 Provision and withdrawal
The ECT supplementary service is provided by prior arrangements with the service provider.
Withdrawal of the service is made by the service provider upon request by the subscriber or for service provider reasons.
6.2 Requirements on the originating network side
The originating network (served user side) shall provide the Call Hold (HOLD) supplementary service
ETS 300 141-1 [11] in connection with the ECT supplementary service
In the case where the network supports the option allowing the transfer of an alerting call, the other user shall be notified
when the alerting call is answered.
6.3 Requirements on the destination network side
The destination network (remote user sides) shall be able to:
- receive an indication of the transfer from the originating network and convey notification of the transfer, and a
request for subaddress to the user who remains part of the transferred call;
- receive a subaddress from the remote user and convey it to the network of the other remote user;
- receive a subaddress from the network of the other remote user and convey it to the user.
7 Coding requirements
7.1 Coding of the Facility information element components
Table 1 shows the definition of the operations and errors required for the ECT supplementary service using Abstract
Syntax Notation one (ASN.1) as defined in CCITT Recommendation X.208 [6] and using the OPERATION and ERROR
macro as defined in CCITT Recommendation X.219 [7], figure 4/X.219.
The formal definition of the component types to encode these operations and errors is provided in EN 300 196-1 [13],
annex D, clause D.1. The inclusion of components in Facility information elements is defined in EN 300 196-1 [13],
subclause 11.2.2.1.
All components (invoke, return result, return error and reject) shall be included within a Facility information element.
This Facility information element may be included in any appropriate message as specified in EN 300 196-1 [13],
subclause 8.3.1.1, unless a more restrictive specification is given in clause 9.
