A reassembly strategy for reducing signalling traffic in IN/PCS

This paper proposes a simple assembly/disassembly part (ADP) for the Signalling System No.7 (SS7) protocol to reduce the signalling traffic load 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 and then the signalling traffic is reduced. In addition, the ADP will not affect the SS7 protocol operations. The numerical results show the proposed method can reduce traffic 9%/spl sim/17% among signalling points.
