Abstract: The present Inter-System Message Delivery System increases the SMS text message delivery success rate. When a mobile subscriber station roams outside of the confines of the cell in which it is presently registered, the delivery of SMS messages to mobile subscriber stations fails, since the mobile subscriber station is not present in the Serving Mobile Switching Center to receive the SMS message. This is particularly common when the mobile subscriber station is moving within the confines of a border cell or multiple cells of a Border Mobile Switching Center and is not yet registered at this Border Mobile Switching Center. The SMS message delivery process initiates a page to the mobile subscriber station via inter-system or inter-Mobile Switching Center paging. Once the mobile subscriber station is located, the bearer data for this mobile subscriber station is forwarded from the Serving Mobile Switching Center to the Border Mobile Switching Center in which the mobile subscriber station is presently located The mobile subscriber station is finally registered at the Border MSC.

Abstract translation: 目前的系统间消息传递系统增加了SMS文本消息传递成功率。 当移动用户台在当前注册的小区的范围之外漫游时，由于移动用户站不存在于服务移动交换中心以接收SMS消息，所以向移动用户站的SMS消息的传送失败 。 当移动用户台在边界小区或边界移动交换中心的多个小区的范围内移动并且尚未在该边界移动交换中心注册时，这是特别常见的。 SMS消息传送处理通过系统间或移动间切换中心寻呼向移动用户台发起寻呼。 一旦移动用户站被定位，则该移动用户站的载体数据从服务移动交换中心转发到移动用户站当前所在的边界移动交换中心。移动用户站最终在边界MSC登记 。

Abstract: The present system for identifying the location of selected mobile stations includes two components: a first component that authenticates an authorized party who logs into the Mobile Switching Center, and a second component that is responsive to the entry of a system activation command by the authorized party for locating selected mobile stations and providing mobile station location information to the authorized party. The present system for identifying the location of selected mobile stations enables a service provider to track a mobile station through the use of Autonomous Registrations or the polling of a selected mobile station or a set of mobile stations. Once communication with the selected mobile station is established, the GPS coordinates of the selected mobile station are retrieved and provided to an authorized party to enable them to locate the subscriber and their mobile station.

Abstract: An apparatus, method and system are disclosed for providing a default mode for authentication failures in a mobile telecommunication network. The system includes an authentication center (typically co-located within a home location register), an adjunct network entity, and an originating mobile switching center. The home location register generally stores information pertaining to a mobile unit, such as a cellular or PCS mobile telephone. The adjunct network entity contains one or more application nodes, such as an announcement application node for providing an announcement on a call leg to the mobile unit. When the network has been accessed by a mobile unit through a call leg, the originating mobile switching center is configured to perform an authentication procedure. The originating mobile switching center further is configured, when the authentication procedure has resulted in an authentication failure, to receive a message from the authentication center to deny the mobile unit access to the network, to terminate a communication session with the mobile unit, and to route the call leg to the announcement application node for the provision of an announcement on the call leg to the mobile unit. Following such an announcement, the originating switching center is also configured to route the call leg to a customer service center, for example, to reprogram the mobile unit.

Abstract: An apparatus, method and system are provided for message-based intelligent tandeming of an incoming call to an application node in telecommunication systems. The various embodiments utilize a new parameter, referred to as a tandem parameter, to designate whether incoming calls to a particular subscriber are to be tandemed to an application node or are to be delivered directly to the subscriber. The preferred system embodiment includes an adjunct network entity, a database, and a switching center. The adjunct network entity, such as a service circuit node or service control point, has one or more application nodes or platforms, supporting various telecommunication services such as prepaid services, calling party pays services, and one number services. The database, such as a home location register or visitor location register, stores information such as subscriber profiles, and includes storing the tandem parameter. The switching center, such as a mobile switching center, is configured to receive an incoming call leg directed to a called party directory number, to transmit a first message to the database to determine call treatment instructions, and to receive from the database a second message containing a tandem parameter. When the tandem parameter does not indicate tandeming, the incoming call leg is routed to the called party directory number, and when the tandem parameter does indicate tandeming, the switching center obtains a routing parameter and performs digit analysis of the called party directory number. The switching center, when the digit analysis has been performed successfully, tandems the incoming call leg to the application node, and when the digit analysis has not been performed successfully, provides an individually configured default mode for the incoming call leg.

Abstract: The Mobile Subscriber Station paging system makes use of a Standalone Home Location Register SHLR, where the mobile subscriber station records are removed from the present Mobile Switching Center and placed on a processor that manages only the subscriber's records and does not process call service requests. The ANSI-41 standard is then adapted to add a new parameter (CALLTIMEFEATURE) which includes the information required to apply Short MIN paging to a mobile subscriber station when certain conditions are met. These conditions are: the mobile subscriber station is capable of responding to a Short MIN page (the last 24 bits that represent the last 7 digits of the mobile subscriber station number), and the System ID that is immutably entered into the mobile subscriber station is the same as the System ID that is being broadcast by the cell on the overhead message train. When these conditions are met, the paging message can be reduced in length by using a sub-address paging scheme to thereby diminish the control channel overhead.

Abstract translation: 移动用户站寻呼系统利用独立的归属位置寄存器SHLR，其中移动用户台记录从当前的移动交换中心移除并放置在仅管理用户记录的处理器上，并且不处理呼叫服务请求。 然后，ANSI-41标准适用于添加一个新参数（CALLTIMEFEATURE），该参数包括在满足某些条件时向移动用户站应用Short MIN寻呼所需的信息。 这些条件是：移动用户台能够响应短MIN页（表示移动用户站号的最后7位的最后24位），并且不可变地输入到移动用户站的系统ID是 与由开销消息列上的小区广播的系统ID相同。 当满足这些条件时，可以通过使用子地址寻呼方案来减小寻呼消息的长度，从而减少控制信道开销。

Abstract: When a subscriber record is moved from a first HLR to a second HLR that utilizes a different protocol, the wireless communication system sends two queries for location information for the mobile station, one to the first HLR and one to the second HLR, simultaneously. Two responses are received, one from each of the HLRs. The valid response is recorded in a separate table for future use. The invalid response is discarded. The next time a call comes in for the mobile station, the table is traversed to determine if the HLR has been updated for the mobile station. If so, the location request is sent only to the system in the table. If the table does not include information for the called mobile station, simultaneous queries are sent to the first and second HLRs.

Abstract translation: 当用户记录从第一HLR移动到利用不同协议的第二HLR时，无线通信系统同时向第一HLR和一个到另一个HLR发送两个移动站的位置信息查询。 接收到两个响应，一个来自每个HLR。 有效的响应记录在单独的表中以供将来使用。 无效响应被丢弃。 下一次呼叫进入移动台时，通过该表来确定移动台是否已更新HLR。 如果是这样，位置请求仅发送到表中的系统。 如果该表不包括被叫移动台的信息，则同时查询被发送到第一和第二HLR。

Abstract: There is therefore a need to forward the message waiting indication data to Mobile Switching Centers whose service areas overlap with the service area of the Mobile Switching Center presently serving this mobile subscriber's wireless communication device. In this manner, any one of these Mobile Switching Centers can update the mobile subscriber with regard to message waiting indications. This is accomplished by the use of the ISPAGE message which is used to forward the message waiting indication data to Mobile Switching Centers whose service areas overlap with the service area of the Mobile Switching Center presently serving this mobile subscriber's wireless communication device.

The switching center, such as a mobile switching center, is configured to receive an incoming call leg directed to a called party directory number and to obtain a subscriber profile from the database, and when the subscriber profile does not include a tandem parameter, to route the incoming call leg to the called party directory number. When the subscriber profile includes the tandem parameter, the switching center obtains a routing parameter and performs digit analysis of the called party directory number. When the digit analysis has been performed successfully, the switching center tandems the incoming call leg to the application node, and when the digit analysis has not been performed successfully, provides a default mode for the incoming call leg. In the preferred embodiment, the default mode includes routing the incoming call leg to the called party directory number or providing an announcement to the calling party.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method for limiting the number of simultaneous call forwarding attempts for a mobile unit. A call is made for a mobile unit. The call request is sent to the MSC associated with the mobile unit. When the mobile unit is not currently active at the MSC, the MSC sends a location request to an SCP. The SCP responds with a return message that includes a temporary location directory number (TLDN) and an indicator. The MSC checks the current number of simultaneous call forwarding attempts being made for the mobile unit. If the current number of simultaneous call forwarding attempts exceeds a threshold, the MSC does not forward the call. If the number of simultaneous attempts does not exceed a threshold, the MSC forwards the call to the mobile unit by sending it to the TLDN.

Abstract translation: 本发明提供一种用于限制移动单元的同时呼叫转移尝试次数的方法。 拨打一个移动单元。 呼叫请求被发送到与移动单元相关联的MSC。 当移动单元当前不在MSC处于活动状态时，MSC向SCP发送位置请求。 SCP响应包含临时位置号码（TLDN）和指示符的返回消息。 MSC检查正在为移动单元进行的呼叫转移尝试的当前数量。 如果当前呼叫转移尝试次数超过阈值，则MSC不转发呼叫。 如果同时尝试的次数不超过阈值，则MSC通过将呼叫发送到TLDN将呼叫转发到移动单元。
