Foreword
This Technical Specification has been produced by the 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP). The contents of the present document are subject to continuing work within the TSG and may change following formal TSG approval. Should the TSG modify the contents of the present document, it will be re-released by the TSG with an identifying change of release date and an increase in version number as follows: Version x.y.z where: x the first digit: 1 presented to TSG for information; 2 presented to TSG for approval; 3 or greater indicates TSG approved document under change control. y the second digit is incremented for all changes of substance, i.e. technical enhancements, corrections, updates, etc. z the third digit is incremented when editorial only changes have been incorporated in the document.

Scope
The present document describes the protocols to be used when ITU-T Q.1902 "Bearer Independent Call Control" is used as call control protocol in a 3GPP Bearer Independent CS core network 3GPP TS 23.205 [1] The Q.1902 operates between (G)MSC servers .The BICC architecture as described in ITU-T Q.1902 [6]-[10] consists of a number of protocols. The following types of protocols are described: call control protocol, bearer control protocols and a resource control protocol for this architecture. The architecture complies with the requirements imposed by 3GPP TS 23.205 [1] and TS 23.153 [2].
