Feature Description
This feature supports SIP overlap signaling between the Cisco PSTN Gateway Softswitch (Cisco PGW 2200) and the Cisco BTS 10200 Softswitch products using a derivative of draft-zhang-sipping-overlap-01, a method for overlap signaling in SIP.
Both the Cisco PGW 2200 and the Cisco BTS 10200 support the sending and receiving of overlap dialed digits over SIP. The Cisco PGW 2200 also supports the sending/receiving of overlap digits over the SS7 network.
Operating Modes
This feature is designed to work with only the interworking and B2BUA operation modes. The mode of operation is not determined until seizure of the terminating side.
If you select proxy mode before sending is complete on the originating call side, the call is forced into B2BUA mode to ensure that the call continues to signal correctly.
Interworking and B2BUA modes support overlap signaling, with the behavior of the terminating call side based on the setting of the TOverlap property.
For B2BUA mode it is possible for the originating side to work in overlap mode while the terminating side works in en-block mode, thus allowing conversion of overlap to en-block signaling
Call Flows
This feature uses a 184 "Ready For More Digits" response instead of a 183 'Session Progress' to avoid any ambiguity about when to send ACM.
Because the sending of a 183 might cause ACM to be returned, you can send a 184 to prevent any confusion about when to send ACM. Do not map the 184 to ACM, 184 is considered purely an enabler for subsequent INFO messages to be forwarded containing the remaining address digits if overlap is supported.
To improve the call flow, an additional specialized parameter "overlap" is attached to the username in the request line to explicitly indicate that subsequent address digits can be received. This parameter can then be used as a trigger for sending a 184.
The "overlap' username parameter is used instead of a SIP: URI parameter, so that a tel: URI can also use the same mechanism. The absence of this parameter in the request line indicates that the number should be assumed to be a complete and normal en-block working.
Example 1:
INVITE sip:1234;overlap@host SIP/2.0Example 2:
INVITE tel:1234;overlap SIP/2.0The absence of this parameter in the request line indicates that the number should be assumed to be complete and normal en-block working.
Figure 1 shows the call flow difference.

Provisioning
To enable the SIP Overlap Signaling feature, follow the instructions provided in the following sections.
OOverlap/ TOverlap
Example 1
Use these commands to enable the OOverlap or TOverlap properties.

Properties
There are no new properties associated with this feature, however, a number of existing properties are used to control overlap behavior. Some existing trunk group properties must be configured against SIP trunk groups.
OMaxDigits/OMinDigits/TMaxDigits/TMinDigits
The existing properties, OMinDigits, OMaxDigits, TMinDigits, and TMaxDigits are used to control overlapping behavior. Both call sides may allow overlap behavior but the conditions for overlap may be different on both call sides.
The following summarizes the behavior of these properties. These settings affect call behaviors of the SIP overlap in the same way as all other existing interworking scenarios.
OMinDigits
If a stop digit '#' is received on the originating call side but the number of digits in total received on the originating side is less than OMinDigits, the call is released with Address Incomplete.
OMaxDigits
If the call is in overlap and a subsequent digit is received not containing a stop digit and if the number of digits received is greater than OMaxDigits, the Cisco PGW 2200 sends out the number of OMaxDigits digits to the TCC side.
TMinDigits
If the number of digits to be sent to the terminating side is less than TMinDigits, the call is terminated with AddressIncomplete.
TMaxDigits
If the number of digits to be sent to the terminating side exceeds the value of TMaxDigits, the digit string is truncated to the length of TMaxDigits.
OOverlap/TOverlap
The existing properties TOverlap and OOverlap are changed to allow configuration against SIP trunks.

OverlapDigitTime
The existing property OverlapDigitTime is used to set the value of OverlapDigitsTimer used for timing inter-digit pause.
If the originating call-side is in overlap, LCM will start the existing timer OverlapDigitsTimer based on the property setting of the existing property OverlapDigitTime. This times the inter-digit pause waiting for more digits. Failure to receive more digits within this time results in a release of the call. On the originating call-side 484 'Address Incomplete' is returned, and, if applicable on the terminating side, a CANCEL is generated.
When digit lengths are undetermined, this timer sets the amount of time it will wait before assuming no further digits will be dialed. Use of an explicit stop digit in the overlap signaling allows the call to reset the timer and continue call processing without waiting before timer expiry, thus speeding up connection times.
