    Abstract: An intelligent-networked telecommunication system avoids redundant billing for telephone transactions in which there is a billing conflict between the Intelligent Network (IN) and another component of the system by its Service Control Point (SCP) creating a service-dependent pseudo Calling Line Identifier (CLI). When a Pseudo CLI look-up table stored in the SC P database indicates that a pseudo CLI is to be created (based upon the Desti- nation Number, DN, or the Service Key, SK), the SCP combines a prefix listed in the table with the Calling Party Number (CgPN) to form a pseudo CLI or create a totally new CLI number string. When the call is connect ed to the DN, the created pseudo CLI, rather than the original CLI, is trans- ferred to the DN. A pseudo CLI is indicated where the IN is programmed to handle the billing of a particular transaction, and where the instrumentalit y of the DN (e.g., toll switch or special service platform) is also set up to han- dle billing. When the toll switch, special service platform, etc., attempts to bill for the transaction (already being billed by the IN) the pseudo CLI pre - vents it from billing an actual customer since no actual customer will have any of the pseudo CLIs. The service-dependent CLI also indicates to the toll switch, or special serviceplatform, etc., that the current IN service call has already been billed through the IN.

    Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed that determine whether incoming calls are in a home local calling area (LCA) in a wireless network. One embodiment comprises an LCA determination system that includes a processing system and a mapping data structure. The mapping data structure includes a plurality of entries that map a switch/cell identifier (e.g., an MSC/cellsiteID) to a set of LCA identifiers. For a call in a wireless network, the processing system receives a switch/cell identifier, masks the sector identifier from the switch/cell identifier, and searches the mapping data structure based on the masked switch/cell identifier to identify an associated set of LCA identifiers. The processing system then compares the set of LCA identifiers to a subscriber profile to determine if an LCA identifier matches. If there is a match, then the processing system determines that the call is in a home LCA.

    Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for providing online charging in an IMS network (100). An IMS gateway system (101) receives a first message (202) from a CSCF (110) through a first interface (112) for a call session, and processes the first message (204) to determine whether to contact an OCS (120) for online charging for the call session. If the determination is to contact the OCS, then the IMS gateway system generates a second message (208) that comprises a charging request to transmit to the OCS. The IMS gateway system then maps fields of the first message in the first protocol to fields in the second message in a second protocol used by the OCS (210), and transmits the second message to the OCS through a second interface (212). The second message provides the OCS the proper information to perform online charging functions for the call session.

    Abstract: A telephone calling card (prepaid or postpaid) service system with an intelligent network (IN) for automated call processing novelly associates a Virtual Destination Number (VDN) with each calling card account to significantly broaden service options to calling card account subscribers. As a result, a calling card customer can combine calling card service with voice mail service and call forwarding service, which was heretofore not possible. More particularly, the additional services include: the ability of a calling card customer to check a voice mailbox associated with the calling card VDN; the ability of a calling card customer to create and change voice mail greeting options; the ability of a calling card customer to establishing a call forwarding number; and the ability of third parties dialing the VDN to either be connected to a call forwarding number if established, or access the calling card account subscriber's voice mailbox.
