Basic call state model

In Intelligent Network and CAMEL switching, a BCSM is a Basic Call State Model.[1]

Types

  • O-BCSM (Originating BCSM)
  • T-BCSM (Terminating BCSM)

A fundamental concept for IN control is the basic call state model (BCSM). When a call is processed by an exchange, the call goes through a number of pre-defined phases. These phases of the call are described in the BCSM. The BCSM generally follows the ISUP signalling of a call

State machine description

In the following IN BCSMs, bold Detection Points and Points In Call are also present in the CAMEL Ph1 subset.

O-BCSM

Points in call

  • 1. O_Null & Authorize Origination Attempt
  • 2. Collected_info (Merged with 1. in CAMEL Ph1)
