Abstract
The visiting mobile switching centre VMSC 12 of a network 4 which does not support prepaid services receives a call request from a roaming subscriber 1. The VMSC then obtains subscriber information including a preferred interexchange carrier (PIC) which indicates whether the subscriber uses pre-paid services. If the subscriber does use pre-paid services the requested call is routed via a dedicated pre-paid switching centre 16 in the subscriber's home network 2. A carrier identification code (CIC) is generated indicating that the call should be routed through the pre-paid switching centre and the CIC information is supplied with the called party number to the home network for call routing. Calls to the subscriber who uses the pre-paid services are also routed via the pre-paid switching centre.
Description
The present invention relates to telecommunications network, specifically, relate to permission at each method and apparatus of independently roaming between the telecommunications network.
Along with the continuous increase of mobile phone user's number, and be established the increase that the telecommunications network number of service is provided for these users, make the user between heterogeneous networks, move or to roam and become important.An example of this situation is in China, and mobile telecommunications network is to be provided by several different operators that provincial mobile telephone network is provided separately here.Between provincial network, there is roaming agreement, so that allow the user between these networks, to roam.
But the network configuration of this non-isomorphism (that is, one group of network that is provided with separately) means to be difficult in provides additional service function to the user in nationwide, because each area provides service by different hardware and software scope.An object lesson is a prepaid services, and here the user uses telecommunications network defrayment in advance for them.Adopt such prepaid services that real-time air time management must be provided, so be difficult to provide roaming service completely.In homogeneous network, this function can be provided by all switching centers.But, can not provide in the non-homogeneous network of prepaid services in most of switching center, when the user roams into like this when distinguishing mobile switching centre more, use the user of prepaid services just can not utilize these services.In general, this user can't call out and receipt of call in such zone.
The intent of the present invention provides a class makes the prepaid services user can free-roaming, even roams into the method and apparatus of the network that prepaid services is not provided.
According to one aspect of the present invention, the method for the call request that a kind of processing sends from the mobile subscriber who roams into telecommunications network is provided, this mobile subscriber has the local network of support prepaid service, said method comprising the steps of:
Reception is from the user's of roaming call request;
Obtain the user profile relevant with the roamer, described user profile comprises whether described user uses the indication of prepaid services; And
If described user profile points out that described roamer uses prepaid services, then transmit the calling of being asked by the pre-payment switching center in the local network.
According to another aspect of the present invention, a kind of method of handling the call request that mobile subscriber that the local network that comes since the user roams into telecommunications network sends is provided, it may further comprise the steps:
Reception is from the user information request of telecommunications network;
Reply user profile to described telecommunications network, described information comprises whether described user uses the indication of prepaid services; And
If described user uses prepaid services, then receive and send calling from telecommunications network by the pre-payment switching center in the local network.
According to another aspect of the present invention, a kind of telecommunications network is provided, it comprises switching center's device, be used for receiving from having local network and roaming into the user's of telecommunications network call request, described switching center device can be used to obtain relevant roamer's user profile, and if described user profile points out that described user uses prepaid services, then the pre-payment switching center by roamer's local network sends the calling of being asked.
According to another aspect of the present invention, a kind of node apparatus of telecommunications network is provided, described device comprises:

Fig. 1 illustrates to have local network 2 and roams into the mobile radio station 1 of distinguishing network 4 more.In local network 2, the user profile of in store expression mobile radio station 1 current location of initial position register (HLR), and the relevant information that sends the route of calling to described user is provided.
Be sent to and pass through communication link 10 with traditional method and send via GMSC (gateway mobile switching center) (GMSC) 8 from the calling of local network.The mobile radio station of communicating by letter with network 2 is communicated by letter by air interface (air interface) 9 separately.
As is generally known the link 13 of roaming mobile station 1 by comprising air interface and base station, one or more unit (not shown) communicated by letter with the l2 of the mobile switching centre of district more (VMSC) in distinguishing network 4 more.VMSC12 communicates by letter by the HLR6 of communication link 11 with local network 2, so that obtain the information of relevant mobile radio station 1.VMSC12 sends calling from mobile radio station 1 by communication link 14.
As is generally known, distinguish network 4 more and when wanting to carry out call, it is distinguished network more by this and communicates by letter with VMSC12 when mobile radio station 1 has roamed into.VMSC12 obtains roamer's information from HLR6, and utilizes this information directly by link 14 called party to be delivered in calling.The actual route of this calling can determine with some kinds of methods, for example, and cheapest route from VMSC12 to the destination, perhaps the fastest route from VMSC12 to the destination.
But such system is for using the roaming mobile station 1 of prepaid services that problem is but arranged in local network 2.VMSC12 will ask user profile from HLR6, but because of mobile radio station 1 is in distinguishing more in the network 4 of a kind of not support prepaid service, so HLR6 will instruct VMSC12 to refuse this calling.
Fig. 2 illustrates according to telecommunications network of the present invention.As previously mentioned, its local telecommunications network 2 comprises that the mobile radio station 1 of HLR6 and GMSC8 roams into another network with VMSC12 4.Local network 2 also comprises pre-payment GMSC (gateway mobile switching center) (PPGMSC) 16, and the latter can send to this network by communication link 18 and call out and call out from this network transmission.PPGMSC16 communicates by letter with HLR6.In a single day VMSC12 receives call request once more, just communicate by letter with mobile radio station 1 by air interface 13, and send calling by communication link 14 from distinguishing network 4 more.
Will explain in more detail as following, when mobile radio station 1 wants to carry out the prepaid services calling, the VMSC12 that distinguishes more in the network 4 obtains user profile from HLR6, and the latter indicates whether to use prepaid services and whether should send this calling by the pre-payment GMSC (gateway mobile switching center) 16 of local network.This calling is sent to its destination by PPGMSC16 by communication link 18.Like this, even distinguish not support prepaid service of network 4 itself more, also can provide prepaid services to mobile radio station 1, all be that PPGMSC16 by local network 2 sends because any prepaid services is called out.
Now than describing some assembly shown in Fig. 2 in greater detail, then again than describing the method for implementing one aspect of the invention in greater detail.
Fig. 3 illustrates the block diagram that passes through the HLR6 that revises that is used for according to network of the present invention.The HLR6 that process is revised also provides local network user's information to distinguishing mobile switching centre (VMSC) more except that the general utility functions that comprise Home Location Register.HLR6 also comprises VMSC message receiving apparatus 62, is used for receiving the request about user profile from another network.Such message is by 63 decodings of VMSC source codec device, and the latter is used for judging what information VMSC requires.HLR information updating device 64 is from database 65 taking-up information, and message is sent to the VMSC of the request of sending by R-T unit (TRX) 61.In according to operated system of the present invention, HLR message comprises the information that this mobile radio station 1 of expression is the prepaid services user.This information preferably adopts the form of first-selected IEC interexchange carrier (PIC) information.The value of PIC information identifies prepaid services supplier (that is local network) uniquely, therefore can be used for judging the call request of how handling from mobile radio station 1 by VMSC.
Fig. 4 illustrates the block diagram of VMSC used according to the present invention, and it comprises that transmitting and receiving (TX/RX) installs 121, is used for utilizing mobile radio station, Home Location Register to transmit data, and is used for sending calling.VMSC12 also comprises call request receiving system 122, is used for receiving and handle from what roam into network 4 distinguishing the call request that mobile radio station receives more.
Call request receiving system 122 visit active user databases 126, the latter preserves the user profile of relevant current mobile radio station to the VMSC12 registration.Database 126 obtains user profile by means of HLR contact device 125 from the initial position register of distinguishing mobile radio station 1 oneself more, and HLR contact device 125 is communicated by letter with relevant initial position register (HLR) by transmitting and receiving device 121.When mobile radio station roaming enters network 4, it or in the specific registration step, perhaps when doing call request for the first time, register to VMSC12.When mobile radio station when VMSC registers, obtain user profile from the HLR of mobile radio station, and be stored in the database 126.
As previously mentioned, in an embodiment of the present invention, active user's information comprises whether the expression user uses the information of prepaid services in local network.This is the most common to be to preserve with the form of first-selected IEC interexchange carrier (PIC) information.When call request receiving system 122 receives call request and when database 126 retrieved active user's information, the PIC analytical equipment 123 of VMSC12 delivered to PIC information by the call request receiving system.This analytical equipment 123 judges whether this PIC information is pointed out to send requesting users and use prepaid services in local network.If, then analysis result being delivered to CIC apparatus for establishing 124, the latter produces the carrier wave identification code (CIC) of 5 numerals, to point out using prepaid services in local network.CIC is used for sending calling by TX/RX device 121 with the number B that is dialled then.The analysis of CIC points out that to VMSC12 this calling must be delivered to the PPGMSC16 of local network, and not by any other route.
Fig. 5 illustrates the block diagram that is used for according to the PPGMSC16 of the network of work of the present invention.PPGMSC16 comprises transmission/reception TX/RX161, is used for and HLR6, and VMSC12 communication, and be used for sending calling by communication link 17 and 18.When receiving the user's who comprises that carrier wave identification code (CIC) and the number B that is dialled and expression are sent calling call request from the VMSC that distinguishes network more, this information is sent to customer inspection device 162, whether latter's calling party database 167 has enough deposits to set up this calling so that judge relevant user.Suppose it is like this, then call request information is delivered to CIC removal device 163, the latter removes the carrier wave identification code from the number of being dialled, so that number B is delivered to analytical equipment 164, to judge the destination of this calling, and deliver to route device 165 thus, so that the calling from PPGMSC is sent to the called party with usual way.
A kind of like this system can be connected in the call path PPGMSC16, because force the all-calls of VMSC12 by the transmission of the PPGMSC16 in the local network 2 prepaid user, PPGMSC16 just can provide prepaid services for the mobile radio station 1 of roaming like this.Prepaid services device 166 provides prepaid services, specifically, can provide air time management, so as after calling updating user data storehouse aspect the remaining deposit.
Under the called situation of user of roaming, user's HLR is inquired about, so that obtain user's position.In addition, if this user is the prepaid user, then HLR points out that also this calling must send by the PPGMSC16 of local network 2, so that can finish the air time management.
Referring now to Fig. 6, this figure is explanation according to the mobile radio station of the use prepaid services of the present invention roaming in order at the flow chart of distinguishing each step of sending calling on the network more.Send calling at step 6a mobile radio station.VMSC or directly from the HLR at the station of the request of sending, perhaps from customer data base (DB) retrieve user information then.As previously mentioned, user profile comprises first-selected IEC interexchange carrier (PIC) information, and the latter identifies prepaid services supplier, and points out to send requesting users effectively and use prepaid services.Store this PIC information (step 6c).Check this PIC information (step 6d) then, and VMSC judges whether this user uses prepaid services (step 6e).
If do not use prepaid services, then (step f), but if use prepaid services, then the carrier wave identification code (CIC) that the PPGMSC16 that uses is prepared in expression is added in called-number (B number) and goes up (step g) for this user provides general call service.VMSC uses CIC information that this calling is sent to correct PPGMSC (step h) then.
PPGMSC finds out whether the prepaid user has money on deposit (step I), if do not have, then refuses this calling (step j).If the user has enough deposits, then remove CIC (step k), utilize number B to set up calling (step 1) then.As previously mentioned, this means from the eternal route of selecting by PPGMSC of this user's calling.This PPGMSC can monitor air time and other calling features (step m) then.
With reference to Fig. 7, for calling is sent to the user, network G MSC receives the call request (step 7a) from the caller.Check and predetermined called party's relevant user profile (step 7b), whether use prepaid services (step 7c) so that determine predetermined called party.If use prepaid services, then send this calling (step 7d), so that can monitor this calling by PPGMSC.If predetermined called party does not use prepaid services, then provide normal call service (step 7e) for this calling.
The major advantage of the embodiment of the invention is: can be to not being that the telephone call office that specialized designs is used for the prepaid services facility provides pre-payment roaming completely.Although the system that China is using provides the TACS network (connecting communication system network entirely) of simulation telecommunications network, the calling that various embodiments of the present invention rely on being used in combination of first-selected IEC interexchange carrier (PIC) and carrier wave identification code (CIC) information that the prepaid user is sent can be by the PPGMSC monitoring of local network.In addition, described technology can be used for providing the visit to the new prepaid node of the telecommunication standards of the use of introducing any one current support PIC and CIC.For example, might promote the international pre-payment in utilizing GSM of this technology (group's specialized mobile radio system) or AMPS (advanced portable phone service) network to roam.
Various embodiments of the present invention can realize these advantages by pre-payment switching center is set in the local network of prepaid services, and guarantee that network sends prepaid call by those pre-payment switching centers rather than any other route.Like this, use this solution, the operator of a zone or a network can provide prepaid services to its user, and no matter the ability to work of other VMSC can be roamed the prepaid user in all plurality of network.Another requirement that needs for this function is provided is that the operator of other networks will correctly determine B number analysis table, so that PIC and CIC translation table to be provided, so that when PIC and CIC information are pointed out to be this situation, calling is sent to PPGMSC.But such variation is more tiny, because support the telecommunications network of the use of PIC and CI only need add the additional translation of specific PIC and the CIC sign indicating number relevant with PPGMSC.
