Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for executing communication among an SCP and an external IP in an SSP repeating constitution network. SOLUTION: The method for executing communication among the SCP, the SSP and the external IP has a step for establishing connection between. the SSP and the IP, a step for transferring an intelligent network application part(INAP) operation in a pass-along message between the SSP and the IP during the existence of connection between the SSP and the IP and a step for executing the INAP operation by the IP in response to the INAP operation included in the pass-along message.
Abstract:
Communication between a service switching point (SSP) and an external (or stand alone) Intelligent Peripheral (IP) has not been defined by any of the standard bodies. ITU-T Q.1600 and ETSI 300 374-1 defines the network configuration of SCP, SSP and stand-alone IP units using SS7 ISUP connection, but ITU-T Q.1600 and ETSI 300 374-1 does not specify in detail the SS7 ISUP messages for bi-directional communication between a SSP and an IP unit. This invention details the message flow between a SCP, a SSP and an ISUP IP unit, especially in the messages between the SSP and IP unit using SS7 ISUP protocol. With the signaling method of the present invention, SCP can send INAP operations, such as PA, PCUI to instruct an external IP unit to play an announcement or collect user information, then an IP unit can send back the related operations back to SCP. In this case, the resource of the IP unit can be shared by other switches and SSPs in the network.

Abstract:
The present invention provides a method for notifying a roaming or home network that a client associated with the home network has registered with a roaming network. A client of a home network registers with a roaming network. The roaming network alerts the home network of the registration of the client. The home network sends a message to an application. The message indicates that the client has registered with the roaming network. Messages for the roaming client can now be routed directly to the roaming network without having to first pass through the home network.
