Embodiment Construction

[0025] While any communication protocol may be used within the scope and purpose of the present invention, the preferred embodiment described herein uses the most commonly used communication protocol in the cellular communication industry as specified by the IS-41 standard.

[0026] The present invention expects a new message to be added to the IS-41C version. This new message is an accounting information return message, which is referred to as the INFOBACKCD message throughout the specification. The notable difference about this message is that it is returned after the outcome of the call has been determined. This can be a paging response received from a mobile station, or when a call is transferred to a mobile station (MS). At this time, an INFOBACKCD message containing billing identification data (BillingId) (this data is included in the IS-41 message) is sent from the serving MSC (G-MSC) to the destination MSC or (V-MSC), and the INFOBACKCD message includes The Related Bil...

Abstract

There is disclosed a system and method for communicating accounting and billing operations informations between a gateway mobile switching center (G-MSC) (42) and a visiting mobile switching center (V-MSC) (52) to which a call is being directed to a mobile station (16) within a cellular telecommunications network. The method comprises the steps of: generating in the serving MSC (42) first biling identification data for the call; transmitting the first billing identification data to the destination MSC (52); generating second billing identification data in the destination MSC (52) corresponding to a call transaction that has occurred in the destination MSC (52); and returning the second billing identification data as related billing identification data to the serving MSC (42) after an outcome for the call has been determined in the destination MSC (52). The outcome of the call is determined when a page response has been received in the V-MSC (52) from the mobile station or alternatively, a call has been delivered by seizing a trunk from the serving MSC (42) to the destination MSC (52). The method has application in a data message handler communication protocol system for communicating accounting and billing operations within the cellular telecommunications network.

Description

field of invention [0001] The present invention relates to a data message handler (DMH) communication protocol system for use in a cellular telecommunication network and an associated method for communication charging and billing operations in the network. Background of the invention [0002] Cellular telecommunication networks currently employ multi-system Mobile Switching Center (MSC) networks which operate using different proprietary billing protocols. The result is that operators struggle to correlate billing information in these MSC networks with each other. At this time, it is impossible to correspond the information in real time. Due to the differences in special accounting protocols between MSC networks, each call established by several multi-system MSCs is either calculated according to the information registered by the gateway MSC through which the call to the PSTN is established, or according to the information sent to the PSTN. The information registered in the...
