Lb interface (BSC-SMLC)
-
Lp interface (SMLC-SMLC)
This TS defines message formats and encoding for BSSAP-LE and the particular subsets of it that are applicable to each of the above interfaces. This TS also defines the support for BSSAP-LE message transfer on each of these interfaces using either ITU-T and ANSI versions of SS7 MTP or IETF M3UA/SCTP and SCCP. Additional requirements for the above interfaces that are applicable to BSSAP-LE are also defined - e.g. usage of BSSAP (as defined in
TS 24.008 and
TS 48.008) on the Lb interface.
