Background technology

Because it is very high that the user capacity of 3G MSC/VLR (the Mobile ServicesSwitching Center/ of third generation communication system mobile switching centre VLR Visitor Location Register Visit Location Registration) requires, a MP (primary processor) can not bear, and therefore must adopt the processing mode of many MP.Adopt many MP, must bring the decentralized processing of MP, promptly the next affairs of each external interface navigate to a MP according to certain principle and handle.A kind of common principle is to take the mode of user ID burst to locate MP.Because each MP controls the user of certain number segment, only handle these users' affairs, therefore, all affairs of a user are inevitable all to be handled on a MP.State in the use under the prerequisite of location MP mechanism, be easy to exist a large amount of message transport phenomenons of intermodule.

Earlier have a look traditional MAP (MAP) interface flow process with reference to figure 2:

Step 21:TCAPTSL (transaction-capable applying portion transaction sub-layer) receives the N_UNITDATA_IND message of SCCP (SCCP Signalling Connection Control Part).

Step 22:TCAPCSL (transaction-capable applying portion Component Sub-Layer) receives TR_BEGING_IND (the transaction sub-layer beginning of conversation indication) message of TCAPTSL.

Step 23:TCAPCSL (transaction-capable applying portion Component Sub-Layer) decodes to the TR_BEGING_IND message of receiving, look for the module No. of MAP (MAP), then decoded results, may be that TC_BEGING_IND (Component Sub-Layer beginning of conversation indication) and TC_INVOKE_IND (calling the composition indication) send to module 2MAP if not this module (being assumed to module 2).

Step 24: finish after the dialogue alternately the MAP inside of module 2, and the MAP of module 2 receives the response for the TCAPCSL transmission of module 1, may be TC_L_RESULT_REQ (composition request as a result) and TC_END_REQ (request of Component Sub-Layer end-of-dialogue) message.

Step 25: the TCAPCSL of module 1 receives that the message of module 2 sends TR_END_REQ (request of transaction sub-layer end-of-dialogue) message to the TCAPTSL layer afterwards.

Step 26:TCAPTSL sends N_UNITDATA_REQ (cell data request) message for SCCP (SCCP Signalling Connection Control Part) after receiving TR_END_REQ message.

Introduce relevant interface among the WCDMA below in conjunction with Fig. 1.
