Common-Channel Signalling (I E E Telecommunications Series)

This is a highly readable and lucid introduction to the complex subject of signalling which will enable the reader to understand detailed signalling specifications and international standards recommendations. Manterfield describes the layered architecture of modern systems and identifies the relationship between CCS and the central processor of SPC exchanges, as well as the convergence between techniques used for signalling between exchanges within the main network and those used between the network and customer equipment. There are useful chapter summaries as well as a full glossary of abbreviations and technology.
