This State is entered from either the Trigger Processing State, as
indicated above (transition e4), or directly from the Idle State on
receipt at the SSF of a TC_Begin indication primitive containing an
"Initiate Call" operation from the SCF (transition e3), or from
the state Monitoring on detection of an EDP-R (transition e10). In
the second case (transition e3), the SSF moves to the Waiting for
Instructions State immediately and then proceeds according to the
contents of the "Initiate Call" operation and any other received
operations.
In this State the SSF FSM is waiting for an instruction from the SCF; call
handling is suspended and an application timer (TSSF) should be set on
entering this State.
During this State the following events can occur:
The following operations may be received from the SCF and processed by the
SSF with no resulting transition to a different state (transition e14):
RequestReportBCSMEvent
RequestNotificationChargingEvent
ResetTimer
FurnishChargingInformation
ApplyCharging
CallInformationRequest
SendChargingInformation
Cancel
The following operations may be received from the SCF and processed by
the SSF, causing a state transition to Waiting for End of User
Interaction state (transition e5):
ConnectToResource
The following operations may be received from the SCF and processed by the
SSF, causing a state transition to Waiting for End of Temporary
Connection state (transition e7):
EstablishTemporaryConnection
The following operations may be received from the SCF and processed by the
SSF, causing a state transition to either Monitoring state (if any
EDPs were armed or any reports were requested) (transition e11) or
Idle State (transition e9):
Connect
CollectInformation
Continue
ReleaseCall
ReleaseCall operation may be received from SCF and processed by the
SSF, causing a transition to Idle state (transition e9). If there is
a Call Information Request, the SSF sends a CallInformationReport
operation to the SCF before returning to Idle.
Initiate Call Attempt operation, if received in Idle state,
should be processed in Waiting for Instructions State (transition e3).
When processing the above operations, any necessary call handling
information is provided to the Call Control Function (CCF).
Any other operation received in this state should be processed in accordance
with the general rules in subclause 7.1.1.5.
The SSF enters this State from the Waiting for Instructions State
(transition e5) on the reception of one of the following operations:
ConnectToResource
During this State the following events can occur:
The following operations may be received from the SCF and processed by the
SSF with no resulting transition to a different state (transition e13):
RequestNotificationChargingEvent
ResetTimer
FurnishChargingInformation
ApplyCharging
Send Charging Information
The DisconnectForwardConnection operation may be received from the
SCF and processed by the SSF in this state. Call disconnect can also be
received from the SRF. In both cases this causes the release of the
connection to the SRF and the transition to the Waiting for Instructions
state. The disconnection is not transferred to the other party
(transition e6).
Any other operation received in this state should be processed in accordance
with the general rules in subclause 7.1.1.5.
The SSF enters this State from the Waiting for Instructions State
(transition e7) upon receiving an EstablishTemporaryConnection operation.
The call is routed to the assisting SSF/SRF and call handling is suspended
while waiting for the end of the assisting procedure. The timer TSSF is
active in this State.
During this State the following events can occur:
The following operations can be received from the SCF and processed by the
SSF with no resulting transition to a different state (transition e15):
RequestNotificationChargingEvent
ResetTimer
FurnishChargingInformation
ApplyCharging
SendChargingInformation
The DisconnectForwardConnection operation may be received from the
SCF and processed by the SSF in this state. Call disconnect can also be
received from the SRF. In both cases this causes the release of the
connection to the SRF and the transition to the Waiting for Instructions
state. The disconnection is not transferred to the other party
(transition e8).
Any other operation received in this state should be processed in accordance
with the general rules in subclause 7.1.1.5.
