AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

The expansion of Home Subscriber Server Front End (HSSFE) in telecommunications networks is hindered by the need for additional Mobile Application Part Gateway (MAPGW) nodes, leading to scalability limitations and increased infrastructure costs, and the IR21 Global Title (GT) whitelisting process introduces delays and signaling issues during international roaming.

Method used

A method and system that integrates HSSFE expansion with existing MAPGW Cloud-native Network Function Component (CNFC), using internal VLAN IP addresses for whitelisting and load-sharing mechanisms to distribute MAP signaling traffic without requiring additional MAPGW nodes or STP links, ensuring seamless compatibility and reducing operational complexity.

Benefits of technology

Enables scalable HSSFE expansion with reduced costs and service disruptions by maintaining Global Title consistency and ensuring reliable roaming services through efficient internal connectivity and load distribution.

Abstract

The present disclosure provides a method and a system for handling MAP signaling traffic in a network (106). The method includes adding one or more instances of HSSFE (308-1, 308-2) by assigning at least one VLAN IP address to each instance. The method includes performing a whitelisting operation in the added instances and an existing HLGMAPGW and establishing an internal connection between the existing HLRMAPGW and the one or more HSSFE instances (308-1, 308-2). The method includes distributing incoming MAP signaling traffic load received at the existing HLRMAPGW across the one or more HSSFE instances (308-1, 308-2). This approach eliminates the need for additional HLRMAPGW, optimizes traffic handling, and improves overall system efficiency.
