Abstract :
This paper proposes the VB5.2 interface as a basis for the definition of the generic Iu interface. The architecture of the emerging network that incorporates a third generation mobile system (UMTS) service node (SN), and any kind of access network (AN) technology, fixed or wireless, over the proposed VB5.2 oriented generic interface, is presented. The mapping of the call/connection control (CC) related messages, needed for the manipulation of connections, with the involvement of the broadband bearer connection control protocol (B-BCCP), is formed in a generic approach. The paper concludes pointing out possible enhancements to the existing VB5.2 interface, and mainly to the B-BCCP, in order to play effectively the role as a candidate of the Iu generic interface
