A reassembly strategy for reducing IN/PCS signalling traffic

Abstract

This paper proposes a simple assembly/disassembly part (ADP) for the signalling system no. 7 (SS7) protocol to reduce the signalling traffic loads in intelligent networks (IN) and personal communication service (PCS) networks. The ADP combines two or more messages with the same destinations into a single message, thereby reducing signalling traffic without affecting SS7 protocol operations, The numerical results show that the proposed method can reduce traffic among signalling points 9 similar to 17%.
