ABSTRACT: This document describes the view of Telcordia on generic requirements for an Advanced Intelligent Network (AIN) Service Control Point (SCP).

An AIN SCP is a network system that supports the execution of service logic in response to queries from switching systems equipped with AIN functionality. An AIN SCP may also communicate with other entities such as other SCPs. A key characteristic of an AIN SCP is its programmability by the exchange carrier. The SCP is viewed as a platform on which application software developed by the local exchange carrier or its agent may be deployed.

The generic requirements in this GR are intended to facilitate SCP interoperability with AIN 0.2 Switching Systems, AIN 0.1 Switching Systems, AIN Release 0 Switching Systems, IN1 SCPs, other AIN SCPs, entities within Personal Communications Services (PCS) service-provider networks, and Operations Systems (OSs) in the AIN 0.2 time frame. In addition, the GR describes generic requirements with respect to performance, reliability, environment, and other areas that pertain to the operability and maintainability of an AIN SCP.

GR-1280 replaced TA-NWT-001125 and TA-NWT-001280.

When using GR-1280, you may need to refer to GR-1100, GR-1299, TR-NWT-000029 (reference to TA-NWT-00027 is an error), GR-63, GR-833 (replaced TA-NWT-000200), GR-246, TA-STS-000298, TA-NWT-000365, GR-376, GR-385, TA-TSY-000387, GR-472, GR-474, GR-478, GR-508, GR-513, GR-815, TR-TSY-000824, GR-828, GR-840, GR-1089, GR-1194, GR-1241, GR-1245, GR-1286, TA-NWT-001414 (canceled), GR-1469, and SR-1665; AM TR-OAT-000044; ITU-T X.217, X.219, X.227, and X.229: and ISO 8649, 8650, 9595, and 9596.

This GR also includes one or more Issue List Reports (ILRs) that details open or closed technical issues in the main document. The ILR(s) are automatically sent free of charge to the GR document purchaser.
