It shall be possible to specify which of the following initial service events shall initiate contact with the CSE:
-
Collection of dialled digits;
-
Analysis of dialled digits;
-
Detection of unsuccessful call establishment.
Unsuccessful call establishment may be caused by:
The definition of which of the above initial service events shall initiate contact with the CSE is part of the subscriber's CAMEL subscription information. Analysis of dialled digits can open a new dialogue regardless of whether a relationship exists. Upon detection of unsuccessful call establishment no new relationship is opened if there is already a dialogue open due to the same CSI.
It shall be possible for the HPLMN to specify criteria which must be satisfied before the CSE is contacted.
The following criteria may be defined:
CSI criteria may be defined for a subscriber for the case where collection of dialled digits has been performed.
-
Criteria on the dialled number; these consist of:
-
The contents of the dialled number (a list of up to 10 dialled number strings may be defined in the criteria. Each dialled number string may be of any type of number (TON) format supported by the access protocol).
-
The length of the dialled number (a list of up to three lengths may be defined.).
-
The criteria on the dialled number may be collectively defined to be either "enabling" triggering criteria or "inhibiting" triggering criteria (see below). The HPLMN may also choose not to define any criteria on the dialled number.
-
A criterion on the basic service: this consists of a list of up to 5 basic service codes for individual basic services or basic service groups. The HPLMN may also choose not to define any criterion on the basic service.
-
A criterion on the type of call: this consists of defining whether the call must be a forwarded call.
A call is treated as forwarded in this respect when either a forwarding supplementary service applies or when the call is forwarded as a result of a terminating CAMEL based service. The HPLMN may also choose not to define any criterion on the type of call.
If the criteria on the dialled number are
"enabling" then the dialled number criteria are satisfied if:
-
The dialled number matches a dialled number string defined in the criteria; or
-
The length of the dialled number matches a dialled number length defined in the criteria.
If the criteria on the dialled number are
"inhibiting" then the dialled number criteria are satisfied if:
-
The dialled number does not match any of the dialled number strings defined in the criteria; and
-
The length of the dialled number is not the same as any dialled number length defined in the criteria.
In these tests the dialled number matches one of the dialled number strings if:
-
The two numbers are of the same Type Of Number (TON); and
-
The dialled number is at least as long as the dialled number string in the criteria; and
-
All the digits in the dialled number string in the criteria match the leading digits of the dialled number.
If no criterion on the dialled number is specified then the dialled number criteria are satisfied.
The criterion on the basic service is satisfied if the basic service used for the call corresponds to any basic service code or basic service group defined in the criterion or if no basic service criterion is specified.
The criterion on the type of call is satisfied if the type of the call is the same as the type defined in the criterion or if no call type criterion is specified.
The criteria on the call setup event procedure are satisfied if:
-
The criteria on the dialled number are satisfied; and
-
The criterion on the basic service is satisfied; and
-
The criterion on the type of call is satisfied.
A CSI criterion on the contents of the called number shall be defined for subscribed dialled services. A list of up to 10 called number strings may be defined in the criterion. Each entry in the called number list has associated with it a CSE identity and a service key which defines the service to be triggered if the criterion is satisfied.
If any other CAMEL dialogue has changed the called number, then the modified called number shall be used for the conditional triggering check.
The called number criterion is satisfied if the called number matches a called number string defined in the criterion.
In this test the called number matches one of the called number strings if:
-
The two numbers are of the same Type Of Number (TON); and
-
The called number is at least as long as the called number string in the criteria; and
-
All the digits in the called number string in the criteria match the leading digits of the called number.
A criterion on the release cause may be defined. This consists of a list of up to 5 cause values. The criterion on the release cause is satisfied if the received call release cause corresponds to any cause value defined in the list or if no criterion is defined.
The purpose of this procedure is to detect a call set-up request at the point where digits have been collected but not analysed, and to allow the CSE to modify the handling of the call set-up request.
If (according to the CSI):
-
The subscriber is provisioned with a CAMEL based originating service; and
-
The call set-up request occurs; and
-
The criteria are satisfied.
Then the VPLMN/IPLMN shall suspend call processing, make contact with the CSE and await further instructions. When the VPLMN/IPLMN has made contact with the CSE, the CSE shall be able to instruct the VPLMN/IPLMN to act as described below.
-
Perform charging activities;
-
Activate subsequent control service events for the call. The CSE shall have the possibility to send the following information:
-
The subsequent service event which shall be detected and reported:
-
Called party alert;
-
Called party connection;
-
Call disconnection;
-

Order in-band user interaction;
There shall be no restriction regarding the order of the above instructions or the number of times each of the above instructions can be repeated. Once the CSE has concluded issuing the above instructions, it shall issue one and only one of the following instructions:
-
Bar the call (i.e. release the call prior to connection);
-
Continue the call processing;
-
Continue the call processing with modified information;
-
Continue the handling of the calling party without routeing the call to the destination.
The purpose of this procedure is to detect a call set-up request at the point where the called party number has been compared with the dialled services information, and allow the CSE to modify the handling of the call set-up request. Triggering of this procedure shall happen immediately after the procedure when dialled digits have been collected.
If (according to the CSI):
-
The subscriber is provisioned with a CAMEL based originating service; and
-
The call set-up request occurs; and
-
The criteria are satisfied.
Then the VPLMN/IPLMN shall suspend call processing, make contact with the CSE and await further instructions.
Contact with the CSE shall (if necessary) be made in this manner before network dialled services are invoked.
If a relationship exists with a CSE, then when the VPLMN/IPLMN has made contact with the CSE, the CSE shall be able to instruct the VPLMN/IPLMN to act as described below:

-
Allow the call processing to continue unchanged;
-
Allow the call processing with modified information;
-
Continue the handling of the calling party without routeing the call to the destination;
-
Release the call.
Due to interworking problems, the service operator shall ensure that sending of e-values and call period control is not used by the other services in the same call of the served subscriber with Enhanced CSE capability for Dialled Services.
The purpose of this procedure is to manage an outgoing call set-up at the time it is terminated by the calling party before the call is established.
If the CSE has activated this subsequent service event for this call in notify mode and the calling party abandon event occurs the VPLMN/IPLMN shall:
-
Notify the CSE and continue.
The following information shall be provided to the CSE:

The digit(s) used to indicate the end of the input, and optionally
-
The digit(s) used to indicate that the input shall be cancelled.
The minimum and maximum number of digits to be collected includes the digit(s) used to indicate the start and end of the input.
A digit string has been cancelled if:
-
The CSE has specified digit(s) used to indicate that the input shall be cancelled, and
-
The specified digit(s) has/have been received from the user.
If the CSE has specified digit(s) used to indicate the start of the input, then the input has started if:
-
The specified digit(s) has/have been received from the user, and

A digit string satisfies the criterion for the Mid call detection point if:
-
The input has started, and
-
The digit string contains at least the minimum number of digits, and
-
The input has ended.
Triggering of the mid-call event shall occur immediately after the criterion has been satisfied. Once the triggering occurs the VPLMN shall disarm the mid-call event.
Digits collected from the subscriber shall be relayed as DTMF towards the destination subscriber independent of any CAMEL processing.
If the CSE has activated this service event for the served subscriber and a mid-call event (as determined by the criterion for the mid-call procedure being satisfied) occurs the VPLMN shall:
