MATRIXX Call Control Framework Integration
- About Call Control Framework Integration
  MATRIXX Call Control Framework Integration provides information about MATRIXX Call Control Framework support and configuration.
- MATRIXX Call Control Framework
  MATRIXX includes an integrated GSM Service Control Function to support call control capabilities for telephony services.
- Supported Message Sequences
  MATRIXX Call Control Framework (CCF) provides support for message sequences using the Camel Application Part (CAP) protocol.
  - Released Calls and Denial Codes
    For calls that are rejected by pricing before the call is connected, the pricing denial code is mapped onto the cause value in the ReleaseCall operation sent to the MSC.
  - TCAP Session Timer
    Call Control Framework (CCF) maintains an end of transaction timer for TCAP sessions.
  - How CCF Decodes or Encodes CallingStationId and CalledStationId Fields
    The way Call Control Framework (CCF) decodes or encodes the CallingStationId and CalledStationId fields in the MtxDiamRoMsg MDC depends on whether the field holds a GSM 04.08 number or a Q.763 number.
  - Basic Voice Charging Message Sequences
    MATRIXX Call Control Framework (CCF) provides support for basic voice charging message sequences.

  - SMS Charging Message Sequences
    MATRIXX Call Control Framework (CCF) provides support for SMS charging message sequences.
    - Successful SMS, Charged Immediately
      This example scenario describes the message sequence used when an SMS is successful and the SMS service is configured for immediate charging.
    - Successful SMS, Unit Reservation Charging
      This example scenario describes the message sequence used when the SMS service is configured for unit reservation charging and an SMS is charged successfully.
    - SMS Released, No Funds
      This example scenario describes the message sequence used when an SMS is released without being sent because the subscriber is out of funds.
    - SMS Unsuccessful, No Reply From MSC
      This example scenario describes the message sequence used when the SMS service is configured for unit reservation charging and an SMS is canceled because there is no reply from the Mobile Switching Center (MSC).
    - SMS Unsuccessful, Send Failure
      This example scenario describes the message sequence used when the SMS service is configured for unit reservation charging and the Mobile Switching Center (MSC) fails to send an SMS.
    - Send ConnectSMS to Change Destination Number Format
      This example scenario describes the message sequence used when MATRIXX Engine sends a ConnectSMS operation to change the format of the destination number from unknown to international.
    - MSC Sends an Unexpected TCAP ABORT
      This example scenario describes the message sequence used when the SMS service is configured for unit reservation charging and the Mobile Switching Center (MSC) cancels the SMS by sending an unexpected TCAP ABORT message.
    - Free SMS, Credit Control Not Applicable
      This example scenario describes the message sequence used when MATRIXX Engine determines that credit control does not apply and, therefore, the SMS is free.
    - MATRIXX Engine Switches to Immediate Charging
      This example scenario describes the message sequence used when the SMS service is configured for unit reservation charging but MATRIXX Engine switches to immediate charging after receiving the initial request.
  - Pre-Call Announcement Message Sequences
    MATRIXX Call Control Framework (CCF) pre-call announcement functionality enables you to play announcements to the caller before connecting them to the dialed number, either by returning the IDs of one or more announcements to play, or the ID of a VoiceXML (VXML) script to run in response to an initial quota request.
  - CallInformationRequest Message Sequences
    MATRIXX Call Control Framework (CCF) provides support for CAP4 message sequences that include CallInformationRequest operations.
  - ActivityTest Message Sequences
    MATRIXX Call Control Framework (CCF) provides support for ActivityTest message sequences. MATRIXX Engine periodically sends ActivityTest operations for non-chargeable voice calls that are being monitored (through CallInformationRequest operations) to find out whether calls are still active.
  - Disconnect Leg 2 Message Sequences
    MATRIXX Call Control Framework provides support for called party disconnects message sequences. In the following example scenarios, Call Control Framework (CCF) is configured to arm the oDisconnect (leg 2) or tDisconnect (leg 2) event detection point (EDP) as interrupted.
  - Alternative Message Sequences
    You can configure MATRIXX Call Control Framework (CCF) to use alternative message sequences.
  - Furnish Charging Information (FCI) Message Sequences
    MATRIXX Call Control Framework (CCF) provides support for FCI message sequences. CCF sends FCI operations to instruct the Mobile Switching Center (MSC) to add charging information to the call data record (CDR) for a call.
  - Non-Standard ConnectToResource Message Sequence
    Call Control Framework (CCF) supports using a non-standard message sequence for playing announcements on an external interactive voice response (IVR) system in which MATRIXX sends an extra ConnectToResource (CTR) operation in a separate TCAP CONTINUE message before playing the first announcement.
  - Error Condition Message Sequences
    MATRIXX Call Control Framework (CCF) includes message sequences to support the following error conditions.
- Configuring MATRIXX Network Enabler
  This section describes how to configure MATRIXX Network Enabler.
- Configuring CAMEL Gateway
  CAMEL Gateway is a CAMEL Application Part (CAP) server. Configure CAMEL Gateway to allow communication between MATRIXX Engine and Network Enablers through the CAP protocols.
- Configuring Routing Preferences
  Configuring routing preferences allows you to define how routes are prioritized between CAMEL Gateway on each engine and Network Enablers.
- Configuring Correlation ID Length
  Call Control Framework (CCF) supports configurable correlation ID lengths. CCF handles 10 digit correlation ID lengths by default.
- Support for CAP1
  Call Control Framework (CCF) supports the processing of roaming voice calls that use the CAP1 protocol.
- Charging for CS1 INAP Calls
  Call Control Framework (CCF) provides support for processing and applying charging for voice calls that use the CS1 INAP protocol.
- Sending Furnish Charging Information
  You can configure Call Control Framework (CCF) to send Furnish Charging Information (FCI) operations at specific points during call handling. CCF sends FCI operations to instruct the Mobile Switching Center (MSC), or service switching point (SSF), to add charging information to the call data record (CDR) for a call.
- Support for MT Call Forwarding
  When handling a mobile terminating (MT) call, Call Control Framework (CCF) can forward the call to another number if the call is not answered, or the called number is busy.
- TCAP Handover and Relay Configuration
  Call Control Framework (CCF) can handover (relay) incoming TCAP requests for subscribers that MATRIXX cannot find in its subscriber database to another platform for processing. For example, when migrating to the MATRIXX platform, CCF can relay incoming TCAP requests to the incumbent platform for subscribers that have not yet been migrated across. After handover, the incumbent platform processes the TCAP request without any further involvement with MATRIXX.
- Support for Announcements
  MATRIXX Call Control Framework (CCF) provides support for playing pre-call announcements. The following topics describe CCF pre-call announcement functionality and explain how to configure CCF to play announcements.
- Support for USSD Services
  Call Control Framework (CCF) supports making Mobile Application Part (MAP) Unstructured Supplementary Service Data (USSD) call out requests to deliver USSD notifications to a subscriber. CCF also supports USSD services for queries, call back, and interactive menus using MAP-Process-UnstructuredSS-Request messages, and MAP-UnstructuredSS-Request messages.
- Announcements (IVR) and USSD Menus
  Call Control Framework (CCF) provides support for menu driven announcements using IVRs and interactive USSD service menus that give subscribers options for retrieving and updating their balances and account details.
- Apache FreeMarker Template Configuration
  You can configure Apache FreeMarker templates for handling Call Control Framework (CCF) services such as Unstructured Supplementary Service Data (USSD) query and call back services, and menu services using announcements or interactive USSD menus.
- Mobile Application Part (MAP) Call Outs
  MATRIXX Call Control Framework (CCF) provides support within the Charging Server for making MAP call out requests to an external platform in response to TCAP or Diameter messages that require them.
- Extending MAP Callouts
  You can extend the data used in Mobile Application Part (MAP) callout requests and results. You can include customized private extension data in the extensionContainer parameter in MAP ATI (AnyTimeInterrogation) and MAP SRI (SendRoutingInfo) operations. This feature enables you to manipulate the data sent and returned in MAP callouts, for example, to correct the digits dialed by a user when roaming.
- LDAP Callout Service
  Call Control Framework (CCF) provides support for making Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) call out requests to an LDAP server in response to TCAP or Diameter messages that require them.
- Callout Response Data MDCs
  Call Control Framework (CCF) holds response data for Mobile Application Part (MAP) callouts and Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) callouts for a call or a session in MATRIXX Data Container (MDC) format.

SMS Charging Message Sequences

MATRIXX Call Control Framework (CCF) provides support for SMS charging message sequences.

CCF supports the following CAMEL Application Part 3 (CAP3) methods for SMS charging:

Immediate Event Charging (IEC).
Event Charging with Unit Reservation (ECUR).

You configure which SMS charging method to use on a per SMS service basis. When MATRIXX Engine receives a valid InitialDPSMS, if the SMS charging method is:

Immediate Event Charging, then MATRIXX Engine attempts to charge for the SMS as a one off event without establishing a charging session.
Event Charging with Unit Reservation, then MATRIXX Engine reserves the cost of the SMS message and then commits it later only if the SMS is successfully submitted.
