When the MSC server determines that local switching should be disconnected:
-
it shall send a LCLS Status Change Request message indicating disconnection preparation through the Core Network.
-
on receipt of a LCLS Status Change Request Acknowledge message indicating disconnection preparation with a Result code indicating LCLS Status Change Request accepted the MSC server shall send a LCLS-Connection-Control message indicating LCLS break to the associated BSS.
On receipt of the LCLS Status Change Request message indicating disconnection preparation the MSC server shall:
-
send a LCLS break request immediately to the associated BSS, and
-
when the acknowledge message is received from the BSS, the MSC server shall return the LCLS Status Change Request Acknowledge message indicating disconnection preparation and a Result code indicating LCLS Status Change Request accepted.
The BSS needs to receive the LCLS break request on both call legs before releasing local switching.
When the MSC server determines that local switching should be disconnected it shall send to the succeeding (or preceding) node the LCLS Status Change Request message with the LCLS-Status-Change IE set to
"LCLS-Disconnection-Preparation". If in the related MGW the access side termination is isolated from the network side termination, the MSC Server shall request the MGW to through-connect the access side termination to the network side termination.
On the reception of the LCLS Status Change Request Acknowledge message with the LCLS-Status-Change IE set to
"LCLS-Disconnection-Preparation" and a Result code IE indicating LCLS Status Change Request accepted, the MSC server shall send to the BSS the LCLS-Connect-Control message with the LCLS-Connection-Status-Control IE set to
"Release LCLS". At reception of the LCLS-Connect-Control Acknowledge message with the LCLS-BSS-Status IE set to
"the call is no longer locally switched", the MSC server shall send to the succeeding (or preceding) node the LCLS Status Update message with the LCLS-Status IE set to
"LCLS Not Connected" if the same LCLS Status Update message was not already received from the succeeding (or preceding) node.
When the MSC server receives the LCLS Status Change Request message with the LCLS-Status-Change IE set to
"LCLS-Disconnection-Preparation" it shall send to the BSS the LCLS-Connect-Control message with the LCLS-Connection-Status-Control IE set to
"Release LCLS". If in the related MGW the access side termination is isolated from the network side termination, the MSC Server shall request the MGW to through-connect the access side termination to the network side termination. On reception of the LCLS-Connect-Control Acknowledge message the MSC server shall send to the preceding (or succeeding) node the LCLS Status Change Request Acknowledge message with the LCLS-Status-Change IE set to
"LCLS-Disconnection-Preparation" and a Result code IE indicating LCLS Status Change Request accepted.
When the LCLS-Connect-Control Acknowledge or the LCLS-Notification message with the LCLS-BSS-Status IE set to
"the call is no longer locally switched" is received, the MSC server shall send to the succeeding (or preceding) node the LCLS Status Update message with the LCLS-Status IE set to
"LCLS Not Connected" if the same LCLS Status Update message was not already received from the succeeding (or preceding) node.
On receipt of the LCLS Status Change Request message with the LCLS-Status-Change IE set to
"LCLS-Disconnection-Preparation" from the preceding (or succeeding) node, the GMSC Server shall forward message to the succeeding (or preceding) node.
The GMSC Server shall forward the received LCLS Status Change Request Acknowledge message with the LCLS-Status-Change IE set to
"LCLS-Disconnection-Preparation" and the Result code IE indicating LCLS Status Change Request accepted.
On receipt of the LCLS Status Update message with the LCLS-Status IE set to
"LCLS Not Connected" from the preceding (or succeeding) node:
-
the GMSC Server shall forward the message to the succeeding (or preceding) node if the same request was not already received from the succeeding (or preceding) node.
-
the GMSC Server shall not forward the message if the same request was already received from the succeeding (or preceding) node.
On receipt of the LCLS-Connect-Control message with the LCLS-Connection-Status-Control IE set to
"Release LCLS" the following applies:
-
if the request was received for only one call leg associated to the LCLS call, the BSS shall not break the local switching. The BSS shall only send the LCLS-Connect-Control Acknowledge message to the MSC server with LCLS-BSS-Status indicating LCLS is still established.
-
if the request was received for both call legs associated to the LCLS call, the BSS shall break local switching and shall report the LCLS disconnection on both call legs by sending:
-
the LCLS-Connect-Control Acknowledge message to the MSC server and
-
the LCLS-Notification message to the far end MSC server which previously requested LCLS release for the associated leg.
