Introduction ETSI, under a mandate from the CEU, has been requested to produce a standard for the number structure, possible evolution of ETNS numbers (Ens) towards a global scheme, and framework of functions regarding ETNS numbering conventions. ETO has, on behalf of ECTRA for the CEU, produced proposals for the management of the ETNS, and developed ETNS numbering conventions that have been agreed by ECTRA. The studies made in ETSI and the standards produced are a prerequisite to the necessary commercial agreements between the parties willing to participate in the ETNS. The present document is based on the results of the ETSI studies on the topic, based on the prime requirement of the ETNS which is the ability to introduce services in an open competitive environment. ECTRA having decided in November 1996 to base the ETNS on Country Code (CC) 388. At the March 2000 meeting of ITU-T Study Group 2, it was decided that the Country Code 388 and a one digit Identification Code whose current value is 3, was assigned to ETNS.
The present document has been designed for an early implementation of the ETNS. Improvements of the ETNS architecture may occur later and result in revisions of the present document. SIST EN 301 161 V1.2.1:2005



ETSI ETSI EN 301 161 V1.2.1 (2002-01)5 1 Scope The present document specifies the management of ETNS, including the number structure, the allocation of codes to the service described, number length and evolution from National numbers to pan-European to global numbers. It also describes the reference model for the ETNS and specifies the methods for routeing a call from the calling party to the called party and the management methods to be used for controlling such procedures.

ITU-T Recommendation E.353 [9] is an alternative in the future. ETNS signalling address: standardized address used to route signalling messages over the interface, that is not in the call path, between any pair of ETNS entities NOTE: An example may be the use of SCCP Global Titles. ETNS service producer: functional entity producing the ETNS service(s) in question, having real-time control of the service(s). NOTE: See clause 4 for the relationship between service producer and service provider. ETNS service provider: functional entity that provides one or more ETNS service(s) to its ETNS subscribers on a contractual basis and is not involved in real-time control of the service ETNS service: service that has been assigned an ESI ETNS subscriber: entity that requests a ETNS number from a ETNS service provider in order to offer access from a calling party to a ETNS service ETNS translation database: capability, which in the call process, translates the ETNS number into a routeing number ETNS: numbering resource identified by E.164 country code 388 and a one digit identification code whose current value is 3, used for the provisioning of the ETNS services originating network: network, either assisted or serving, to which the calling party is connected registrar: responsible for the day-to-day management of the ESNs behind each ESI service exchange: exchange of the service network that triggers the provision of the service on reception of the routeing number, and then forwards the call service network: network that operates one or more service exchange(s) serving exchange: exchange, in the serving network, that can interrogate directly or indirectly an ETNS translation database to obtain a routeing number related to the ETNS number, and then forwards the call to the service network serving network: network, with one or more serving exchange(s) terminating number: number containing explicit information on the terminating point of the called party NOTE: The number is used to route towards the called party. 3.2 Symbols For the purposes of the present document, the following symbols apply:

Figure 1 shows the actors involved in the ETNS, and their relationship with each other. Also shown in figure 1 are the relevant reference points for the ETNS that are described in clauses 4.2 and 4.3. Figure 1 is divided into call-related and non call-related parts in order to clearly show the distinction between the routeing functions and the management functions. The following Reference Model reflects only the management and routeing aspects of the non-call and call related parts, respectively. Assisted

ETSI ETSI EN 301 161 V1.2.1 (2002-01)8 The ETNS Service Provider is the entity that is relevant in the process of number assignment. The service network is the entity that is relevant in call processing. One single entity may be both the ETNS Service Producer and the service network, or they may be different entities; in the latter, the entity that assumes the function of ETNS Service Producer may or may not participate in the call process. Such a distinction leads to recognize two concepts under the word "service provision": the function of the first is to sell a service to a ETNS subscriber, and to be the sole interface with this ETNS subscriber, this is the role of the ETNS Service Provider; the function of the second is to operate the call, this is the role of the Service Producer. The Serving Network (SgN) is responsible for routeing a call from the calling party to the service network. The service network (and potentially the Service Producer) is (are) responsible for providing the service itself. ETNS numbers (Ens) are managed by independent authorities which are identified as the registrar and the administrator in figure 1. 4.1 Call-related [Routeing part] This clause describes the principles for routeing a call from the calling party to the called party. This is studied in detail in TR 101 079 [4] and EN 301 160 [2]. A call to a ETNS number (En) can be divided in two parts. 4.1.1 First leg: getting the routeing number The calling party shall dial the En in its international format. Based on the European Service Identifier (ESI), clause 5, the call is routed to the serving exchange in the SgN. Potentially, this exchange may not be located in the calling party's network. The originating network is then called an assisted network, interconnected to the SgN through reference point C. An assisted network can be connected to different SgNs, e.g. for routeing differently depending on the ESI, or it can redirect all ETNS calls to one SgN. The serving exchange, analysing the ESI, triggers the ETNS translation database to translate the incoming En into an outgoing Routeing number (Rn). The ETNS translation database can be inside or outside the SgN, e.g. when several SgNs share the same ETNS translation database. The Rns can vary from a SgN to another. Whether the area from which a single En is accessible relies on a subscription or not, is service dependent. This ends the first leg of the call which consists of routeing the cal
