CAF: Working With Caf Call Legs

Revision as of 08:31, 5 March 2014

Overview of CAF layer

TelcoBridges provides multiple API layers for managing calls. The current page refers the the CAF API layer.

Overview of CAF call architecture

CAF Call leg (CTBCAFCallLeg):

The CTBCAFCallLeg (based on CTBCMCLeg base class) is the representation of communication with one peer, either through one protocol (SS7, ISDN, SIP, CAS) or media-only.

CTBCAFCallLeg objects can be created either after the toolpack_engine has notified the CAF application that a new call has been received, or else when the CAF application asks toolpack_engine to create a new outgoing call. When creating a new outgoing call, attributes are provided to indicate toolpack_engine which NAP to make the call to (which also defines the signaling protocol), which calling/called numbers to use, etc.

From the C++ point of view, the CTBCMCLeg contains most of the APIs require to manipulate call legs, while the CTBCAFCallLeg class is providing the interface to attach call legs to a parent CTBCAFCallFlow object

CAF Mixer (CTBCAFMixer):

CAF Call Legs (CTBCAFCallLeg) have a built-in function to join with another leg, making audio flow from one leg to another leg (or multiple destination legs).

However, one leg can be used as a Join destination only once. And thus, when it is required for one leg to "hear" from multiple call legs or sources (conferences for example), then the CTBCAFMixer object is used.

The CTBCAFMixer (based on CTBCMCMixer base class) is the representation of a DSP resource used to mix audio from different sources (call legs, stream server, or other mixers).

From the C++ point of view, the CTBCMCMixer contains most of the APIs require to manipulate mixers, while the CTBCAFMixer class is providing the interface to attach mixers to a parent CTBCAFCallFlow object.

The CTBCAFMixer object can be used for:

• Conferences
• Background music playing on a call
• Recording both call legs of a call into one mixed audio file
• etc.

See more information on mixers here: Audio Mixers

CAF Call Flow (CTBCAFCallFlow):

The CTBCAFCallFlow is a base class for implementing call flows.

• It contains one or multiple CTBCAFCallLeg objects, and optionally one or multiple CTBCAFMixer objects.
• Developers must create their own call flow class(es), based on CTBCAFCallFlow.
• The role of that class is to implement a call flow that involves actions on legs and mixers that have a relation with each other.

Example call flows available in TelcoBridges source code:

• CTBCAFBridge: A complete call flow which goal is to manage calls with two legs (one incoming, and one outgoing)
  • Accept/Alert/Answer incoming call with outgoing is Accepted/Alerted/Answered
  • Terminate both of them when one leg hangups.
  • Note: This is the call flow used by TelcoBridges' Gateway application
• CTBSimpleCall: A simplified call flow with two legs (one incoming, one outgoing)
  • Similar to CTBCAFBridge, but over-simplified to be sample code
• CTBSimpleConf: A relatively simple call flow that provide sample code to implement a conference call flow
  • Deals with multiple call legs, incoming or outgoing
  • Joins all the call legs to an audio mixer
  • Offers some options to change the way call legs are joined to the mixer

CAF Call Behavior (CTBCAFCallBehavior):

CTBCAFCallBehavior is a base class for implementing "behaviors". Developers must create their own behavior class(es), based on CTBCAFCallBehavior.

Behaviors are:

• Attached to a call flow (CTBCAFCallFlow)
• Modify the basic call flow, decorating it with optional functionality (CDR logging, FAX detection, Ring tone playback, etc.)

In order to implement their functionality, behavior objects, like their parent call flow object, can:

• Receive events from all call legs and mixers of the call flow
• Block events (hiding them from other behaviors, and from the call flow itself)
• Manipulate call legs and mixers.

Performing actions on call legs and mixers

Actions on call legs

The call flow (and it's behaviors) can perform various actions on each of it's call legs. Here is a list of the actions available on the CTBCAFCallLeg objects (please refer to the header file CTBCMCLeg.hpp for more information on each of these functions):

Actions on CTBCAFCallLeg

Actions on mixers

The call flow (and it's behaviors) can perform various actions on each of it's mixers. Here is a list of the actions available on the CTBCAFMixer objects (please refer to the header file CTBCMCMixer.hpp for more information on each of these functions):

Actions on CTBCAFMixer

Receiving events from call legs and mixers

Events received from call legs by the CTBCAFCallFlow object

The call flow object (as well as all it's behaviors) receive the following events from it's call legs (please refer to the header file ITBCAFCallFlow.hpp for more information on each of these functions):

Call flow events from it's call legs

Events received from mixers by the CTBCAFCallFlow object

The call flow object (as well as all it's behaviors) receive the following events from it's mixers (please refer to the header file ITBCAFCallFlowMixer.hpp for more information on each of these functions):

Call flow events from it's mixers

Events behavior chain

All the events describe above are called consecutively on each behavior attached to the call flow, and ultimately, called on the call flow itself.

Each behavior in the chain can

• Pass the event to the next behavior in the chain
• Consume the event so other behaviors in the chain and the call flow are unaware that this event occurred

The CTBCAFCallBehavior default implementation is to forward the event to the next event in the chain.

When you implement your own behaviors, you can override only a couple of events (like OnCallLegAnswered() for example) to perform specific tasks, and leave all other events to the base class, so you don't have to write a lot of code to create a new behavior.

Example call flows

Example call flow where an incoming call is received, accepted, then terminated from network side:

Example conference call flow with two incoming call legs, one outgoing call leg, and one audio mixer:

Creating the CTBCAFCallFlow object, its legs and mixers

Steps to create a new call flow are:

• Create a new object (using a class derived from CTBCAFCallFlow class)
• Attach behaviors to the call flow
• Add attributes of incoming and outgoing legs to create
• Add attributes for mixers to create
• Tell the call flow object to initialize itself, and create the call legs and mixers as requested
• Join legs together, join legs to mixers, or join mixers to other mixers

Here is a (over-simplified) example:

ITBCAFCallFlow* pCallFlow;
ITBCAFCallFlow* pParentCallOrBehavior;

// Create the call flow object (here using the CTBCAFBridge class, based on CTBCAFCallFlow)
pCallFlow = tbnew CTBCAFBridge( 0, this);

// Optionally, attach behaviors
pParentCallOrBehavior = pCallFlow;
pParentCallOrBehavior = tbnew CTBCAFCallBehaviorBusyTone( pParentCallOrBehavior, ... );
pParentCallOrBehavior = tbnew CTBCAFCallBehaviorBridgeCdr( pParentCallOrBehavior, ... );

// Add an incoming call leg to that call flow (CTBCAFCallLeg object will get created based on provided attributes)
pCallFlow->AddIncoming( in_LegId, ptrIncomingLegAttribute, ptrIncomingLegProtocolAttributes, ptrAcceptCallProtAttribute );

// Add an outgoing call leg
pCallFlow->AddOutgoing( ptrOutgoingLegAttribute, ptrOutgoingLegProtocolAttributes );

// Create an audio mixer
pCallFlow->MixerCreate( ptrMixerAttribute );

// Initialize the call (this actually creates the call legs)
pCallFlow->InitCall( &pCallFlow );

During the call flow (upon reception of an event on a call leg for example), more actions can be taken. For example:

MyCallFlowOrBehavior::OnCallLegAnswered()
{
  // Ask to detect FAX tones
  CTBCMC_EVENT_ATTRIBUTE  Event;
  Event.AddToneString( "telcofax/eof" );
  GetIncomingActiveLeg()->StartEventCollection( in_EventMask, NULL, TBX_FALSE /* Don't suppress tones */ );

  // Call base class to forward event to next behavior
  CTBCAFCallBehavior::OnCallLegAnswered();
}

During the call flow (upon reception of an event on a mixer for example), more actions can be taken. For example:

MyCallFlowOrBehavior::OnMixerCreated()
{
  // Immediately add call legs to the mixer
  GetFirstMixer()->MixerJoin( GetIncomingActiveLeg().Get(), ptrJoinAttributes );
  GetFirstMixer()->MixerJoin( GetOutgoingActiveLeg().Get(), ptrJoinAttributes );

  // Answer the incoming leg
  GetIncomingActiveLeg()->AnswerCall();

  // Play background music on the conference
  GetFirstMixer()->MixerPlayStream( PlayAttr );

  // Call base class to forward event to next behavior
  CTBCAFCallBehavior::OnMixerCreated();
}

For a more complete code example, please refer to the simple_call application, in file CTBS2GWSimpleCall.cpp, or here:

CTBCAFBridge creation

Constructing leg attributes

Incoming call leg attributes

To create the incoming call leg, the following information is required:

• Smart pointer to incoming call leg attributes, received from toolpack_engine through OnCallLegPresent().

ptrIncomingLegAttribute = tbnew CTBCMC_CALL_LEG_ATTRIBUTE( *(in_CallLegAttribute.GetCallLegAttribute()) );

• Smart pointer to incoming call leg protocol attributes, received from toolpack_engine through OnCallLegPresent().

ptrIncomingLegProtocolAttributes = tbnew CTBCMC_PROTOCOL_ATTRIBUTE( in_ProtocolAttribute, TBX_TRUE );

• Smart pointer to empty protocol attributes that Behaviors can fill, and that will be used when accepting the call.

ptrAcceptCallProtAttribute = tbnew CTBCMC_PROTOCOL_ATTRIBUTE;

Outgoing call leg attributes

To create the outgoing call leg, the following information is required:

• Smart pointer to outgoing call leg attributes to use to create the call, generally derived from the incoming call attributes

ptrOutgoingLegAttribute = tbnew CTBCMC_CALL_LEG_ATTRIBUTE();
ptrOutgoingLegAttribute->CopyLegAttributeFrom( *(ptrIncomingLegAttribute.Get()) );

• Smart pointer to empty protocol attributes that Behaviors can fill, and that will be used when creating the outgoing call (SIP invite, ISUP IAM, ISDN Setup, etc.)

ptrOutgoingLegProtocolAttributes = tbnew CTBCMC_PROTOCOL_ATTRIBUTE();

Mixer attributes

To create the mixer, the following information is required:

• Smart pointer to mixer attributes to use to create the mixer

ptrMixerAttribute = tbnew CTBCMC_MIXER_ATTRIBUTE();
ptrMixerAttribute->SomeParameter = SomeValue;

Call leg initialization callbacks

All behaviors attached to the call flow will be notified of the creation of new call legs through callback OnInitIncomingCallLeg() or OnInitOutgoingCallLeg().

OnInitIncomingCallLeg()

In this callback, each behavior may consult the incoming call attributes or protocol attributes, and can modify the protocol attributes that will be used to accept the call (actually providing protocol-specific information, like SS7 IEs, or SIP headers).

OnInitOutgoingCallLeg()

In this callback, each behavior can modify the protocol attributes that will be used to create the call (actually providing protocol-specific information, like SS7 IEs, or SIP headers that will be used in the initial signaling message, as SIP Invite, ISUP IAM, or ISDN Setup).

OnMixerInit()

In this callback, each behavior can modify the mixer attributes that will be used to create the mixer.

Destruction the CTBCAFCallFlow object, its legs and mixers

Self-destructing call legs, mixers, behaviors, and call flow

The CTBCAFCallFlow object contains smart pointers to it's call legs and mixers. Destruction of these will thus occur automatically when the last smart pointer reference is removed (that last reference can be either the smart pointer reference in the CTBCAFCallFlow object, or anywhere else in the application).

Upon destruction of the last call leg or last mixer (when no more leg or mixer are in the call flow), the objects based on CTBCAFCallFlow or CTBCAFCallBehavior will delete themselves automatically, by calling the attached "free listener" (that was provided in the constructor of the call flow object).

Call leg termination callbacks and actions

OnCallLegTerminatingIndication()

This callback means that toolpack_engine has received a termination request from a call leg (SIP Bye, ISUP REL, for example). A typical use of that event is to call TerminateCall() on both incoming and outgoing legs of a call flow, to hangup both sides.

TerminateCall()

This function is used for the application to request the termination of a call leg. It is also used to confirm that the application is done with a call leg, after OnCallLegTerminatingIndication() event was received (in that case, TerminateCall() can be called within the event callback, or later if the application has some more asynchronous cleanup to do).

OnCallLegTerminated()

This callback confirms that toolpack_engine has finished closing the data path and signaling for this call leg. It will also be called when a leg is destroyed because of a lost of communication with toolpack_engine (restart, network failure, crash).

FreeLeg()

It is MANDATORY that this function is called for each call leg after OnCallLegTerminated().

It's up to the application to call the function immediately (within OnCallLegTerminated() for example) or later after doing some more job (like asynchronous database updates, for example)

OnLegFreed()

This callback confirms that the leg is being freed.

It's the last chance for a call flow or a behavior to release things related to a call leg, like canceling timers for example.

• Important note: Behaviors that implement that function MUST, as the LAST line of their function, call the base class' CTBCAFCallBehavior::OnLegFreed. Not calling base class' function will cause the call to leak. Calling that before the last line of the function will cause crash, as the Behavior object could destroy itself within that function upon destruction of the last leg/mixer of the call.

Mixer termination callbacks and actions

MixerTerminate()

This function is used for the application to request the termination of a mixer.

OnMixerTerminated()

This callback confirms that toolpack_engine has finished destroying resources related to this mixer. It will also be called when a leg is destroyed because of a lost of communication with toolpack_engine (restart, network failure, crash).

FreeMixer()

It is MANDATORY that this function is called for each mixer after OnMixerTerminated().

It's up to the application to call the function immediately (within OnMixerTerminated() for example) or later after doing some more job (like asynchronous database updates, for example)

OnMixerFreed()

This callback confirms that the mixer is being freed.

It's the last chance for a call flow or a behavior to release things related to a mixer, like canceling timers for example.

• Important note: Behaviors that implement that function MUST, as the LAST line of their function, call the base class' CTBCAFCallBehavior::OnMixerFreed(). Not calling base class' function will cause the mixer and call to leak. Calling that before the last line of the function will cause crash, as the Behavior object could destroy itself within that function upon destruction of the last leg/mixer of the call.

Joining call legs

The call leg's function Join() allows to join call legs together. Joined call legs have audio flowing from one to the other.

Call legs can be joined full-duplex, or half-duplex.

Basic rule

The basic rule for joining legs is that each leg can receive audio from only one source at the time: Another leg, or a mixer.

A leg can send it's audio to any number of destinations (audio "forking"), obviously as long as these destinations don't already receive audio from other source.

Note: The leg can receive audio from one source... but that source can be a mixer, allowing the leg to "hear" multiple audio sources.

Full-duplex join

• LegA <--> LegB

When joined full-duplex, each leg receives the audio from the other leg.

Re-synchronizing with toolpack_engine

Note: You can first read the overview of re-synchronization mechanism here: CAF:_Call_Legs_Resync

There are a couple of cases where a CAF application needs to re-synchronize with toolpack_engine:

• The CAF application was restarted
• The toolpack_engine was restarted
• Network connection between CAF application and toolpack_engine was momentarily down

When communication with toolpack_engine is lost, all call legs and mixers are notified of the disconnection through OnSyncLost() and OnMixerSyncLost(). However, they are not immediately destroyed. They are kept in the CAF framework for 10 seconds waiting for the engine (or backup engine) to reconnect. After 10 seconds, legs and mixers are terminated in the CAF framwork. This does not mean, however, that they are terminated in the toolpack_engine. Upon reconnection with engine, legs and mixers still present in the engine will be sent back to the CAF application through OnCallLegSync() and OnMixerSync().

Possible scenarios for a leg are thus:

• Engine is reconnected within 10 seconds:
  • Some legs/mixers no more exist in toolpack_engine, and will be notified by OnCallLegTerminated() / OnMixerTerminated().
  • Legs/mixers that are still valid will be untouched (though they are notified with OnSyncLost() / OnSyncDone() / OnMixerSyncDone(), for convenience)
• Engine has been disconnected for more than 10 seconds:
  • CAF framework will terminate call legs/mixers, and notify them through OnCallLegTerminated() / OnMixerTerminated()
  • Later, when engine is reconnected after a >10:
    • Call legs/mixers that are still available in toolpack_engine are pushed back to CAF application through OnCallLegSync(), OnLinkSync() and OnMixerSync()
    • CAF application can refuse them, or re-build it's legs/mixers/call flow contexts to resume operation on these calls

Re-synchronization sequence

In all the cases above, the re-synchronization mechanism involves the following steps:

=> Communication lost with toolpack_engine

• OnCmcLibNotReady() (CAF application callback): Indicates that communication with toolpack_engine has been interrupted. It will not be possible to perform actions (play file, ask for digit collection) on call legs/mixers until toolpack_engine is ready again (OnCmcLibReady).
• OnSyncLost() (CAF call flow and behavior callback): Same meaning as OnCmcLibNotReady(), passed to each call leg contexts individually.
• OnMixerSyncLost() (CAF call flow and behavior callback): Same meaning as OnCmcLibNotReady(), passed to each call mixer contexts individually.

=> Communication re-established with toolpack_engine

• OnCallLegSync() (CAF application callback): Indicates that the toolpack_engine knows about a call leg that does not exist in the CAF application.
• OnMixerSync() (CAF application callback): Indicates that the toolpack_engine knows about a mixer that does not exist in the CAF application.
• OnLinkSync() (CAF application callback): Indicates that the toolpack_engine knows about a link between two call legs (legs are joined, audio is flowing from one to the other directly).
• OnMixerLinkSync() (CAF application callback): Indicates that the toolpack_engine knows about a link between a leg and a mixer, or between two mixers.
• OnCmcLibReady() (CAF application callback): Indicates that communication with toolpack_engine has been restored, and that all legs, links and mixers have been re-synchronized
• OnSyncDone() (CAF call flow and behavior callback): Indicates to a call leg (that previously received OnSyncLost()) that it is still present in the toolpack_engine, and ready to be controlled again.
• OnMixerSyncDone() (CAF call flow and behavior callback): Indicates to a mixer (that previously received OnMixerSyncLost()) that it is still present in the toolpack_engine, and ready to be controlled again.
• OnCallLegTerminated() (CAF call flow and behavior callback): When this function is called with Reason TBCMC_CALL_REASON_CODE_TOOLPACK_SYNC_DROP, it indicates that this call leg is no more present in toolpack_engine after re-synchronizing, and must thus be freed in the CAF application too.
• OnMixerTerminated() (CAF call flow and behavior callback): When this function is called, it indicates that this mixer is no more present in toolpack_engine after re-synchronizing, and must thus be freed in the CAF application too.

Rebuilding new legs, mixers and call flow objects

When an application receives OnCallLegSync(), it must take the decision to either keep the call leg (create a CTBCAFCallLeg object) or refuse it (tell toolpack_engine that we don't want to re-synchronize it, and that it must be terminated).

When an application receives OnMixerSync(), it must take the decision to either keep the mixer (create a CTBCAFMixer object) or refuse it (tell toolpack_engine that we don't want to re-synchronize it, and that it must be terminated).

Dropping re-synchronized legs

The static helper function CTBCMCLeg::RefuseLeg() has been provided by the class CTBCMCLeg to terminate re-synchronized call legs without having to worry about creating any object. An application that wants to refuse a re-synchronized leg should call it.

Dropping re-synchronized links

The static helper function CTBCMCLeg::RefuseLink() has been provided by the class CTBCMCLeg to terminate re-synchronized links without having to worry about creating any object. An application that wants to refuse a re-synchronized link should call it. The static helper function CTBCMCLeg::RefuseMixerLink() has been provided by the class CTBCMCMixer to terminate re-synchronized mixer links without having to worry about creating any object. An application that wants to refuse a re-synchronized mixer link should call it.

Dropping re-synchronized mixers

The static helper function CTBCMCMixer::RefuseMixer() has been provided by the class CTBCMCMixer to terminate re-synchronized mixer without having to worry about creating any object. An application that wants to refuse a re-synchronized mixer should call it.

Keeping re-synchronized legs that are part of a link or a mixer

The helper classes CTBCAFCallLegResync and CTBCAFMixerResync are provided to help creating CTBCAFCallLeg and CTBCAFMixer objects for re-synchronized legs and mixers, and later retrieve them and attach them to a CTBCAFCallFlow parent, upon OnLinkSync() or OnMixerLinkSync():

Upon OnLegSync():

• Call function AllocateCallLeg() of object CTBCAFCallLegResync, to allocate a temporary call leg object (that will be used later upon OnLinkSync).

Upon OnMixerSync():

• Call function OnMixerSync of object CTBCAFMixerResync, to allocate temporary mixer object (that will be used later upon OnMixerLinkSync).

Upon OnLinkSync():

• This function provides the LegId of the two joined call legs.
• Retrieve both call legs by calling function FindCallLeg() of object CTBCAFCallLegResync.
• Call function LinkSyncBindToExistingCallFlow of object CTBCAFCallLegResync. This function will see if one of these two joined call legs is already assigned to an existing call flow, and will bind the other leg to the same call flow if appropriate
• If function LinkSyncBindToExistingCallFlow has not found an existing call flow to bind legs to, create (allocate) a new call flow that owns these two call legs.
• Call functionMarkCallLegUsed of object CTBCAFCallLegResync to indicate that these legs are in use and must not be destroyed upon termination of the object CTBCAFCallLegResync.

Upon OnMixerLinkSync():

• This function provides the LegId or MixerId of the two joined entities (Mixer/Leg, or Mixer/Mixer).
• Call function OnMixerLinkSync of object CTBCAFMixerResync.
• This function will retrieve the existing call flow that already owns the source or destination of this mixer link, and make sure to bind both source and destination of this link to that call flow.

Finally, upon OnCmcLibReady(), the application can destroy the CTBCAFCallLegResync and CTBCAFMixerResync objects, which will take care of refusing (dropping) all call legs and mixers that have not been assigned to a call flow.
