Value added module in predictive intelligence
View Patent ↗The present invention is provides towards a method and system for facilitating roaming tests for an operator in a telecommunication network. The method includes detecting a location update message of a subscriber to an HLR while switching from a first MSG/VLR to a second MSG/VLR, The method further includes holding by a value added module, a cancel location message being sent from the HLR to the first MSG/VLR. The method further includes conducting the roaming tests by the value added module, using the subscriber's profile data obtained from the first MSG/VLR. Further in the method the value added module releases the cancel location message to the first MSC/VLR.
1. A method for facilitating roaming tests for an operator in a telecommunication network, the method comprising:
detecting a location update message of a subscriber to an HLR while switching from a first MSC/VLR to a second MSC/VLR;
holding by a value added module, a cancel location message being sent from the HLR to the first MSC/VLR during a period of conducting the roaming tests; and
conducting the roaming tests, during a period of time while switching from the first MSC/VLR to the second MSC/VLR, on the first MSC/VLR which is a non-compliant MSC/VLR that does not follow a Restoration Procedure, by the value added module using the subscriber's profile data obtained from the first MSC/VLR.
2. The method of claim 1 further comprising releasing by the value added module, the cancel location message to the first MSC/VLR upon completion of the roaming tests.
3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the location update request is detected by one of:
detecting the location update request using a probe;
receiving the location update request from an active NTR system; and
receiving the location update request due to routing by a STP.
4. The method of claim 3 , wherein the STP is dynamically configured with E.214 to send the location update request to the value added module.
5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first MSC/VLR belongs to the same network or a different network as the second MSC/VLR.
6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the value added module conducts interfaces with a Predictive Intelligence (PI) module to execute one or more steps of claim 1 .
7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the location update request is one of a GSM location update or GPRS location update.
8. The system of claim 1 , wherein the subscriber's profile data is obtained by sending a MAP RSD message to the first MSC/VLR.
9. The method of claim 1 further comprising sending an ISD message to the first MSC/VLR.
10. The method of claim 1 further comprising sending a PRN message to the first MSC/VLR.
11. The method of claim 1 further comprising sending a MAP RESET message to the first MSC/VLR.
12. The method of claim 1 further comprising sending a CAP Connect to the first MSC/VLR.
13. The method of claim 1 further comprising sending a MAP DSD message with VT CSI to the first MSC/VLR.
14. A method for facilitating roaming tests for an operator in a telecommunication network, the method comprising:
detecting a location update message of a subscriber to an HLR while switching from a first MSC/VLR to a second MSC/VLR;
sending by a value added module, an RSD message to the HLR to relay the subscriber's profile to the second MSC/VLR;
sending by the value added module, a purge message on the subscriber to the HLR;
conducting the roaming tests, during a period of time while switching from the first MSC/VLR to the second MSC/VLR, on the first MSC/VLR which is a non-compliant MSC/VLR that does not follow a Restoration Procedure, by the value added module using the subscriber's profile data obtained from the first MSC/VLR;
sending by the value added module, a cancel location message to the first MSC/VLR to remove the subscriber's profile in the first MSC/VLR; and
generating by the value added module, a location update message to update second MSC/VLR at the HLR.
15. The method of claim 14 , wherein the value added module conducts interfaces with a Predictive Intelligence (PI) module to execute one or more steps of claim 13 .
16. The method of claim 14 further comprising sending an ISD message to the first MSC/VLR.
17. The method of claim 14 further comprising sending a PRN message to the first MSC/VLR.
18. The method of claim 14 further comprising sending a MAP RESET message to the first MSC/VLR.
19. The method of claim 14 further comprising sending a CAP Connect to the first MSC/VLR.
20. The method of claim 14 further comprising sending a MAP DSD message with VT CSI to the first MSC/VLR.
21. A system for facilitating roaming tests for an operator in a telecommunication network, the system comprising:
a value added module that detects a location update message of a subscriber to an HLR while switching from a first MSC/VLR to a second MSC/VLR;
the value added module further holds a cancel location message being sent from the HLR to the first MSC/VLR during a period of conducting the roaming tests; and
the value added module further conducts the roaming tests, during a period of time while switching from the first MSC/VLR to the second MSC/VLR, on the first MSC/VLR which is a non-compliant MSC/VLR that does not follow a Restoration Procedure, using the subscriber's profile data obtained from the first MSC/VLR.
22. The system of claim 21 , wherein the value added module further releases the cancel location message to the first MSC/VLR upon completion of the roaming tests.
23. The system of claim 21 , wherein the value added module detects the location update request using one of:
a probe to detect the location update request;
an active NTR system to receive the location update request; and
a STP to route the location update request.
24. The system of claim 22 , wherein the STP is dynamically configured with E.214 to send the location update request to the value added module.
25. The system of claim 21 , wherein the first MSC/VLR belongs to the same network or a different network as the second MSC/VLR.
26. The system of claim 21 , wherein the value added module conducts interfaces with a Predictive Intelligence (PI) module to execute one or more steps of claim 1 .
27. The system of claim 21 , wherein the value added module further sends an ISD message to the first MSC/VLR.
28. The system of claim 21 , wherein the value added module further sends a PRN message to the first MSC/VLR.
29. The system of claim 21 , wherein the value added module further sends a MAP RESET message to the first MSC/VLR.
30. The system of claim 21 , wherein the value added module further sends a CAP Connect to the first MSC/VLR.
31. The system of claim 21 , wherein the value added module further sends a MAP DSD message with VT CSI to the first MSC/VLR.
32. The system of claim 21 , wherein the value added module further obtains the subscriber's profile data by sending a MAP RSD message to the first MSC/VLR.
33. The system of claim 21 , wherein the location update request is one of a GSM location update or GPRS location update.
