20080293409 | Method and system for exchanging NRTRDE files between a visited network and a home network in real time - The present invention provides a method for facilitating exchange of roaming information between a first gateway and either a Near Real Time Roaming Data Exchange (NRTRDE) agent or second gateway in real time. The method includes obtaining, by a first gateway associated with the VPMN, one or more event parameters in real time from mobile communication of the VPMN's inbound roamer coming from the HPMN. The method further includes generating the roaming information at the first gateway in real time, using one or more obtained event parameters such that the generated roaming information is comprehendible to either an NRTRDE agent associated with the VPMN or a third party vendor, or a second gateway associated with the HPMN. The method further includes providing the roaming information by the first gateway to either the NRTRDE agent or the second gateway in real time. | 11-27-2008 |
20090061854 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR PROVIDING ROAMING INTELLIGENCE (RI) TO A HOST NETWORK OPERATOR FOR ITS ROAMING TRAFFIC - The present invention provides a method for facilitating roaming management of a host network. The method includes obtaining at a gateway associated with the host network, signaling messages of one or more roamers. The roamers are subscribers of either the host network or one or more non-host networks. The method further includes determining by the gateway, the host network's roaming arrangement with the non-host networks, based on analysis of one or more signaling messages from the obtained signaling messages. | 03-05-2009 |
20090190468 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR ENSURING SERVICE CONTINUITY IN CASE OF A PROXY PROFILE GATEWAY FAILURE OR INTERRUPTION - Aspects of the present invention relate to methods, systems and computer products that guarantee the availability of basic services to subscribers during the failure of a Proxy-Profile Gateway. An independent module equipped with monitoring probes for tracking the actual location of the end-customer, an interface for controlling the Gateway availability, and an active SS7 signaling interface are also provided, in order to initiate the recovery procedures, along with a database for storing the relevant information necessary to apply the restoration procedures. | 07-30-2009 |
20120021720 | ADVANCED PREDICTIVE INTELLIGENCE FOR TERMINATION BYPASS DETECTION AND PREVENTION - Provided are methods and systems for detecting and preventing bypass fraud in telecommunication networks, primarily for detecting and preventing SIM box fraud in telecommunication networks. The methods include generating one or more test calls from a remote agent to a local agent where the remote agent can be a roaming agent or a remote dialer. The local agent is a subscriber number. The methods further include facilitating call forwarding of the test calls from the local agent to a local number. The methods include identifying the presence of bypass fraud by analyzing caller identification information of the test call received on the local number. Finally, the methods include preventing future use of a detected SIM box. | 01-26-2012 |
20140349641 | VALUE ADDED MODULE IN PREDICTIVE INTELLIGENCE - 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. | 11-27-2014 |
20140378129 | NETWORK TRAFFIC REDIRECTION (NTR) IN LONG TERM EVOLUTION (LTE) - The present invention is directed towards methods and systems for redirecting roaming network traffic in an LTE network. The methods include observing a registration process of a subscriber in a visited network. The methods further include, upon successful registration, sending one or more messages to the visited network to induce a re-registration attempt by the subscriber to another visited network. | 12-25-2014 |
20150257044 | STEERING OF ROAMING IN LTE AND LEGACY NETWORK ENVIRONMENT - The present invention is directed towards a method and system for redirecting roaming network traffic in an LTE network. The method includes observing a registration process of a subscriber in a visited network. The method further includes sending one or more messages to the visited network to induce a re-registration attempt by the subscriber to another Radio Access Technology (RAT) network of the same visited network. The method further includes applying one or more legacy steering techniques to move the subscriber to a target visited network. | 09-10-2015 |
20150341780 | ENHANCED PROFILE AND MOBILITY MANAGEMENT SYSTEM (PMMS) FOR LTE ENVIRONMENT - The present invention provides systems and methods for providing additional or modified subscriber profile information of an outbound roamer of a Home Public Mobile Network (HPMN), wherein the outbound roamer is roaming in a Visited Public Mobile Network (VPMN) in an LTE environment. The system includes a monitoring block to monitor Diameter and MAP transaction messages on S6, SI and Cx interfaces. The system includes subscriber and roamer databases storing subscriber or roamer records, wherein each record comprises at least the International Mobile Subscriber Identity (IMSI) of the subscriber or roamer. The system includes a detection block to detect whether provisioning of an alternate roaming profile is required for the subscriber or roamer, and further includes a provisioning block to provision the generated alternate roaming profile of the subscriber or roamer to LTE nodes holding a subscriber or roamer profile (i.e., MME, the IM-SSF or the SCSCF). | 11-26-2015 |
