Signaling protocol
Encyclopedia
A signaling protocol is a type of protocol
used to identify signaling encapsulation
. Signaling
is used to identify the state of connection between telephones or VOIP terminals (IP telephone or PCs or VoWLAN
units). The following is a list of signaling protocols:
Communications protocol
A communications protocol is a system of digital message formats and rules for exchanging those messages in or between computing systems and in telecommunications...

Encapsulation (networking)
In computer networking, encapsulation is a method of designing modular communication protocols in which logically separate functions in the network are abstracted from their underlying structures by inclusion or information hiding within higher level objects....

- Dual-tone multi-frequency signaling
- R1Multi-frequencyIn telephony, multi-frequency signaling is an outdated, in-band signaling technique. Numbers were represented in a two-out-of-five code for transmission from a multi-frequency sender, to be received by a multi-frequency receiver in a distant telephone exchange...
- R2 signallingR2 signallingR2 is a 1950s- and 1970s-era channel-associated-signalling signalling protocol used outside of the former Bell System to convey information along a telephone trunk between two telephone switches in order to establish a single telephone call along that trunk....
- NBAP (Node B Application Part)NBAPIn the 3GPP UTRAN architecture, NBAP is the signalling protocol responsible for the control of the Node B by the RNC. NBAP is subdivided into Common and Dedicated NBAP , where Common NBAP controls overall Node B functionality, and Dedicated NBAP controls radio links to specific user equipment...

It implements peer-to-peer session control for multimedia interactions such as in Voice over IP or videoconferencing communications. It was designed by Google and the XMPP Standards Foundation. The multimedia streams are...
- Q.931Q.931ITU-T Recommendation Q.931 is ISDN's connection control protocol, roughly comparable to TCP in the Internet Protocol stack. Q.931 doesn't provide flow control or perform retransmission, since the underlying layers are assumed to be reliable and the circuit-oriented nature of ISDN allocates...
