Call diversion messaging (Q.SIG)

The following illustrations show the sequence of messages passed between the three nodes in the following scenarios:

These illustrations are based on Figures C.1, C.2, and C.3 in Appendix C of ISO/IEC 13873. The ACU interface represents the interaction between the SS-DIV control entity with the user. Certain modifications are necessary to take into account that the real Q reference point is in the application, and not in the stack. Therefore, some data that would not be sent to the user is sent to the application.

Also, Figures C.1 and C.2 of the ISO/IEC specification have been combined into a single ACU interface because the diversion services are always invoked on the originating node (for example, diversion by forward switching is not supported).

Successful call forward - unconditional (Q.SIG)

The following illustration shows the message types passed between nodes when a call forward - unconditional succeeds. In this scenario, the application on PINX 2 is set up to forward all calls destined for user B to user C.

Note: This scenario is identical to call forward - busy (CFB) except for the operation IDs.

Failed call forward - unconditional (Q.SIG)

The following illustration shows the message types passed between nodes when a call forward - unconditional fails because the diverted-to node rejects the call or returns an error. In this scenario, the application on PINX 2 is set up to forward all calls destined for user B to user C.

Note: This scenario is identical to call forward - busy (CFB) except for the operation IDs.

Successful call forward - no response (Q.SIG)

The following illustration shows the message types passed between nodes when a call forward - no response succeeds.

In this scenario, the application on PINX 2 is set up to forward all calls destined for user B to user C if user B does not respond within a period of time.

Failed call forward - no response (Q.SIG)

The following illustration shows the message types passed between nodes when a call forward - no response fails because the diverted-to node rejects the call or returns an error.

In this scenario, the application on PINX 2 is set up to forward all calls destined for user B to user C if user B does not respond within a period of time.

Aborted call forward - no response (Q.SIG)

The following illustration shows the message types passed between nodes when a call forward - no response is aborted during the forwarding attempt because the served user node senses that the user to whom the call was originally destined has answered.

In this scenario, the application on PINX 2 is set up to forward all calls destined for user B to user C if user B does not respond within a period of time.
