Signaling protocols are sets of rules and procedures used to establish, maintain, and terminate communication sessions in networks. They facilitate the exchange of control messages between devices, enabling them to negotiate parameters, manage resources, and ensure reliable data transfer. Common examples include SIP (Session Initiation Protocol) for voice over IP and SS7 (Signaling System No. 7) for traditional telephony networks. These protocols are essential for managing call setup, signaling, and connection control in various communication systems.

SS7 signaling is a set of protocols used in telecommunications networks to handle the exchange of signaling messages. It allows for call setup, routing, and other essential functions in telecommunication networks. SS7 helps in establishing and managing connections between different network elements for services like voice calls, SMS, and data communication.

A signaling gateway in a Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN) serves as a bridge between traditional circuit-switched networks and packet-switched networks, such as Voice over IP (VoIP). It converts signaling protocols, like SS7 used in PSTN, into IP-based protocols, enabling communication between different network types. This allows for the integration of voice, data, and multimedia services, facilitating interoperability and enhancing the efficiency of telecommunication systems.

Safety critical signaling refers to communication systems and protocols used in environments where failures could lead to significant harm or loss, such as in transportation, healthcare, and industrial operations. This type of signaling ensures that critical information is transmitted accurately and promptly to prevent accidents or malfunctions. It often involves redundant systems, rigorous testing, and adherence to strict regulatory standards to ensure reliability and safety. Ultimately, safety critical signaling is essential for maintaining operational integrity in high-stakes scenarios.

In the physical layer, two commonly used protocols are Ethernet and Wi-Fi. Ethernet is primarily used for wired connections and defines standards for physical media and signaling, while Wi-Fi (IEEE 802.11) is used for wireless communication, specifying how data is transmitted over radio waves. Both protocols determine how devices communicate over a network at the most fundamental level.
