interfacing, maintenance, <strong>and</strong> connection to other equipment. S=T is thesignalling point or user=network point whose primary function is to transfersignalling messages from one signalling link to another. The other codes are aspreviously defined. The various information flows exchanged between peerplanes <strong>and</strong> peer entities in different functional groups are carried over the samephysical medium. The physical <strong>and</strong> logical interface is the connection point toexternal networks. ISDN incorporates the physical, data link, network, <strong>and</strong>transport layers <strong>of</strong> the OSI model. It should be noted that the information flowscould be carried over separate component channels <strong>of</strong> the existing channelstructure or be multiplexed onto a single component channel.Advances in technology dem<strong>and</strong> further expansion in the development<strong>of</strong> protocols covering full multimedia services (broadb<strong>and</strong> <strong>and</strong> the Internet).As such, there is a need for protocols thatDefine a universal user-access interface for broadb<strong>and</strong> satellite multimediaservices that (1) is open to different satellite system implementations<strong>and</strong> (2) provides both the Internet Protocol (IP) <strong>and</strong> realtimeseamless broadb<strong>and</strong> service provisionConverge both fixed <strong>and</strong> mobile multimedia networks toward a globalmultimedia mobility architecture; that is, by merging service functionsderived from the universal mobile telecommunication system(UMTS) <strong>and</strong> the third-generation mobile services (simply calledIMT-2000, mobile multimedia phones, or smart mobiles) <strong>and</strong> fromfixed broadb<strong>and</strong> accessSeparate higher-layer access network functions, which traditionally hidethe lower-layer dependent functions from both the end user <strong>and</strong> thecore networkDemonstrate how to apply higher-layer access network functions orlayer-dependent functions to other existing satellite access networkfunctions <strong>and</strong> planned systemsAllow measurement <strong>of</strong> quality <strong>of</strong> service (QoS) <strong>and</strong> flexibility foroptimized or proprietary air interfaces to satellite systems8.2.2 Cellular Mobile SystemsAn example <strong>of</strong> a cellular mobile system is the Global System for MobileCommunications (GSM), which is one <strong>of</strong> the most successful st<strong>and</strong>ardizedsystems.
