Call Control Framework Integration
- About Call Control Framework Integration
  Call Control Framework Integration provides information about MATRIXX Call Control Framework support and configuration.
- MATRIXX Call Control Framework (CCF)
  MATRIXX Digital Commerce includes an integrated GSM Service Control Function to support call control capabilities for telephony services.
- Network Request Processing
  Call Control Framework (CCF) can allocate incoming requests to any processing blade within a customer sub-domain.
- Supported Message Sequences
  MATRIXX Call Control Framework (CCF) provides support for message sequences using the Camel Application Part (CAP) protocol.
- Configuring MATRIXX Network Enabler
  This chapter 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 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) provides support for processing 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 FurnishChargingInformation (FCI)
  You can configure Call Control Framework (CCF) to send 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, 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 messages to another platform if a subscriber can't be found in the MATRIXX database.
- 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
  MATRIXX 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.
  - USSD Message Formats
    The Unstructured Supplementary Service Data (USSD) service library supports the following message formats.
  - USSD Notifications
    MATRIXX 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.
  - USSD Query Service
    Call Control Framework (CCF) supports Unstructured Supplementary Service Data (USSD) query services using Mobile Application Part (MAP) Process-UnstructuredSS-Request messages.
  - USSD Call Back Service
    Call Control Framework (CCF) provides support for Unstructured Supplementary Service Data (USSD) call back services.
  - USSD Service Configuration
    You can configure Unstructured Supplementary Service Data (USSD) services supported by MATRIXX Call Control Framework (CCF).
  - USSD Statistics
    Statistics are collected for Unstructured Supplementary Service Data (USSD) Notification messages, USSD queries, and USSD call back services. The USSD statistics are defined in the MATRIXX MIB files and are saved to the Statistics database.
- Announcements (IVR) and USSD Menus
  Call Control Framework (CCF) provides support for menu driven announcements using IVRs and interactive USSD service menus that provide subscribers with 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 MATRIXX Charging Server for making MAP call out requests to an external platform in response to TCAP or Diameter messages that require them.
- Extending MAP Call Outs
  You can extend the data used in Mobile Application Part (MAP) call out requests and results to include customized private extension data in the extensionContainer parameter in MAP ATI (AnyTimeInterrogation) and MAP SRI (SendRoutingInfo) operations. This feature enables you to perform additional manipulation on the data that is sent and returned in MAP call outs, for example, to correct the digits dialed by a user when roaming.
- LDAP Call Out Service
  MATRIXX 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.
- Call Out Response Data MDCs
  Call Control Framework (CCF) uses MATRIXX Data Containers (MDCs) to hold response data for Mobile Application Part (MAP) call outs and Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) call outs for a call or a session.

Support for USSD Services

MATRIXX 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.

The following MAP protocols are supported for USSD services:

MAP 2
MAP 2+

For information about the supported MAP protocols, and the supported parameters for MAP-USSD Notify messages, MAP-Process-UnstructuredSS-Request, and MAP-UnstructuredSS-Request messages, see the discussion about MAP protocol implementation conformance statement.

This chapter describes the following USSD services:

USSD notifications
USSD query services
USSD call back services

Support for USSD Service Menus

CCF also supports interactive USSD service menus that provide subscribers with options for retrieving and updating their balances and account details. For information about the USSD menu service, and information about configuring USSD menus, see the discussion about announcements (IVR) and USSD menus.
