A brokering service apparatus (400) and method therein (150) for assisting a first node (111) to roam in multiple mesh networks (100) are disclosed. The multiple mesh networks (100) comprises a first network (110) comprising a first node (111) and a gateway node (113) and a second network (120) comprising a gateway node (123). The multiple mesh networks (100) further comprises a mesh node (140, 141) which may belong to either the first network (110), the second network (120) or a third network (130). The brokering service apparatus receives a connection request associated with the first node 111 and the first network (110), the connection request is sent by the first node (111) via the mesh node (140). The brokering service identifies the first network (110) and data requirements for the first node (111) and negotiates a roaming contract between a first NMS (160) associated with the first network (110) and at least a second NMS (170) associated with the second network (120). When the roaming contract is established, the brokering service transmits a roaming accept message to at least the second NMS (170) of the second network (120).

According to one aspect of the present invention, there is provided a method for serving a roaming mobile terminal in an HLR of a mobile communication system, wherein the method comprises steps of: a. determining location information of the mobile terminal based on a location update request of the mobile terminal as provided by an MSC of a country or region where the mobile terminal is located; b. when determining, based on location information of the mobile terminal, that the mobile terminal is in roaming and located in a predetermined roaming country or predetermined roaming region, generating a first Original-CSI of the mobile terminal, wherein a predetermined address entry in the first Original-CSI includes address information of an ARP proxy engine; c. transmitting the first Original-CSI to the MSC. According to the solution of the present invention, the user may simultaneously enjoy roaming services provided by its home service provider and the non-home service provider without changing the SIM card during roaming; besides, the user may select a service provider providing a roaming service at a lower price from among a plurality of service providers, thereby reducing the user's roaming charge.

A dynamic contact routing system includes establishing a plurality of service provider accounts. The service providers submit bids for a per-contact charge. A contact list is created wherein the service providers are ranked from the highest bidder to the lowest bidder. A contact received from a potential customer is routed to the highest ranked bidder service provider on the contact list. If the contact is not responded to or rejected, the contact is rerouted to the next highest ranked service provider on the contact list. The service provider's account who has received the contact is charged the pre-contact amount by that service provider.
摘要:
Various auction or tender processes for the real time allocation of telecommunications capacity or services are described in the context of a communications network in which user equipment is provided with a selecting device (12) which communicates with a pricing device (20) in service provider equipment. When communications or other services are available, the pricing device contacts the selecting devices of users and offers the capacity or service in a tendering, Dutch or conventional auction. Also described are processes in which the selection circuit 12 polls a plurality of service providers, and the pricing circuit 20 of each service provider generates a price signal indicating the level of price for its services. The selection circuit 12 then selects a service provider, based on price (and also other factors such as quality of service).
摘要:
A method and system are disclosed for setting up a communication session between a first peer inside a mobile network, and a second peer outside that mobile network. Contact is established from the second peer to a connection broker responsible for brokering various connections with the first peer, and the second peer requests from the connection broker a connection to the first peer. The connection broker determines whether the first peer is reachable, and finds out what costs, if any, would be borne by the first peer or the second peer or both, in order to pay for a lease of at least the connection requested by the second peer. Then the communication session is set up via the connection, if the first peer is reachable and the costs are acceptable.
摘要:
A system for establishing connections among a plurality of telecommunications networks. The system comprises a server node (56) that is operable to receive service offers comprising a plurality of parameters including rate information and a terminating location from service providers; receive service requests for purchase of telecommunications services from a plurality of buyers, each request comprising a plurality of parameters including rate information and a terminating location; and match the service requests to a portion of one or more service offers based on the parameters specified by the buyers and the service providers. Associated with the server node (56) is a telecommunications node (46) that is operable to facilitate routing of telecommunications traffic between buyers' and providers' telecommunications networks to fulfill the matched service requests.
