Abstract
Description
치열해져 가는 이동통신 서비스 시장에서 서비스 사업자들은 기존 가입자를 유지하고 신규 가입자들을 유치하기 위해 다양한 서비스들을 개발하여 가입자들에게 제공하고 있다. 최근에는 시간대별, 착신번호별로 다양한 종류의 요금이 적용되는 여러 요금제도를 개발하여 가입자가 자신의 통화패턴에 맞는 요금제를 선택할 수 있도록 해 주고 있으며 이러한 요금제는 사업자간 가입자의 이동 및 신규가입자의 유치에 큰 영향을 주고 있다. 그러나, 실제로 사용자가 자신의 통화패턴을 완벽하게 예측할 수는 없으므로 미리 자신의 통화패턴을 예측하여 최적이라고 생각되는 요금제도를 선택하였다 하더라도 실제로는 다른 요금제도가 그 고객에게 더 유리한 경우가 발생하게 된다.Service providers are developing and providing various services to subscribers in order to retain existing subscribers and attract new subscribers in the evolving mobile communication service market. Recently, various rate plans are applied to various types of charges by time zone and called number, allowing subscribers to select a plan that fits their call pattern. Has a big impact on you. However, in reality, users cannot predict their own currency patterns perfectly, but even if they select the rate system that they think is optimal by predicting their own currency pattern in advance, the other rate system may actually be more favorable to the customer. .
상기와 같은 문제를 해결하기 위한 방안으로 가입자들이 자신의 통화 패턴에 맞는 요금제도를 최적화하기 위해, 매달 해당 가입자가 만약 다른 요금제도를 선택하였더라면 청구되었을 이동 통신 이용료를 고지해 준다면, 저렴한 비용으로 동일한 서비스를 제공 받을 수 있다는 사실을 가입자는 알게 되고 실제 자신의 통화 특성에 기반한 최적의 요금을 선택할 수 있다.In order to solve the above problem, in order to optimize the payment system according to the call pattern, subscribers are informed each month of the mobile communication fee which would have been charged if they chose a different fee system. The subscriber knows that the service is available and can choose the best rate based on his or her call characteristics.

The mobile communication network includes a mobile terminal (MT) (1), a base transceiver station (BTS) (2), a base station controller (hereinafter BSC) (3), and a mobile switching center. Service Switching Point: MSC / SSP (4), Visitor Location Register (VLR) (5), Service Control Point (SCP) (6), Home Location Register It is composed of an HLR 7 and a Charging Center 8.
MT는 서비스 가입자가 소지하고 자유로이 이동하면서 통신할 수 있게 해주는 장치를 의미한다. BTS 는 MT 과 무선을 통해 통신하고 BSC 와는 유선으로 통신을 수행하는 유무선변환 기능을 수행하는 장치이다. BSC는 BTS와 MSC/SSP 간의 정보 전송을 제어하며 다수의 BTS 를 지원하는 장치이다. MSC/SSP 는 BSC 와 접속하여 MT 의 통화설정, 해제 기능 등 기존의 MSC 의 기능에 지능망 서비스를 인식하여 처리해 줄 수 있는 SSP 의 기능이 추가된 장치이다. VLR 은 자신이 담당하는 영역으로 위치 등록한 이동단말 및 가입자의 정보를 홈위치 등록기로부터 가져와 일시적으로 저장하는 장치이며 물리적으로 MSC/SSP 와 같이 위치할 수도 있고 별도로 위치할 수도 있다. SCP 는 MSC/SSP 에서 요구된 지능망 서비스에 대한 서비스 처리 로직을 가지고 있으며 실제 지능망 서비스를 수행해 주는 절차를 수행해주는 장치이다. HLR 은 이동단말 및 가입자의 영구적인 정보 및 위치정보 등을 저장하며 호처리 및 부가서비스와 관련된 각종 기능을 수행하는 장치이다. CC 는 가입자의 과금 정보 등을 처리하는 장치에 해당한다. MSC/SSP 는 인터넷망, 유선전화망, 타 이동 전화망(9)과 관문 MSC 를 통해 호를 주고 받으며 신호망을(10) 통해 SCP,HLR,CC 와 신호를 전송한다.MT means a device that allows a service subscriber to carry and communicate freely. BTS is a device that performs wired / wireless conversion function to communicate with MT wirelessly and communicate with BSC by wire. The BSC controls the transmission of information between the BTS and the MSC / SSP, and supports multiple BTSs. MSC / SSP is a device that adds SSP function that can recognize and process intelligent network service to existing MSC function such as MT call setting and release function by connecting to BSC. The VLR is a device that temporarily stores the information of mobile terminals and subscribers registered in its own area from the home location register and may be physically located together with MSC / SSP or separately. SCP has service processing logic for intelligent network service required by MSC / SSP and is a device that performs the procedure to perform the actual intelligent network service. The HLR is a device that stores permanent information and location information of mobile terminals and subscribers, and performs various functions related to call processing and additional services. CC corresponds to a device for processing the billing information of the subscriber. The MSC / SSP exchanges calls with the Internet, wired telephone networks, other mobile telephone networks (9) through the gateway MSC and transmits signals with SCP, HLR, and CC through the signaling network (10).
도 2는 이동통신 가입자가 호를 시도하여 성공적으로 통화를 하고 호를 종료하였을 때 망에서 이를 처리해 주는 절차에 관한 흐름도이다. 발신자가 착신 단말의 번호를 입력하여 SEND(통화) 키를 누르면, 기지국과 기지국 제어기를 거쳐 MSC/SSP 에 도달한다(100). MSC/SSP 에서는 발신 단말에 대한 인증을 VLR 에 문의하고(101) 인증 과정을 통해 발신 가능한 단말인지 체크한 후(102) 인증이 성공하지 않은 단말인 경우 절단처리를 수행하고(103) 서비스를 종료한다. 인증이 성공한 경우 입력 디지트를 분석하고(104) 타 망에 속한 호인경우 관문 MSC/SSP 를 통해 타 망으로 호를 전달한다(105). 동일 망에 속한 경우 HLR 로 루팅 정보를 문의하고(106) 루팅 정보를 수신한 후(107) 착신 MSC/SSP 로 호를 전달한다(108). 착신단말이 페이징에 응답하면(109) 발신단말과의 통화를 제공하여 준다(110). 통화가 끝이 나는 시점에 호 종료요구를 수신하면 (111) 발신 MSC/SSP 에서는 착신단말과의 호가 시작되는 시점부터 착신자의 단말번호와 통화 시간 등 과금 관련 정보를 신호망을 통하여 CC 에 전달하여 준다(112). CC 에서는 이 가입자의 발신 MSC/SSP 로부터 얻은 정보를 이용하여 과금 정보를 갱신하고(113) 호를 종료한다.2 is a flowchart illustrating a procedure for processing a network when a mobile communication subscriber attempts to make a call and successfully makes a call and ends the call. When the caller enters the number of the called terminal and presses the SEND key, the caller reaches the MSC / SSP via the base station and the base station controller (100). The MSC / SSP inquires the VLR for the authentication of the calling terminal (101) and checks whether the terminal can be sent through the authentication process (102), if the terminal is not successful authentication, performs a truncation process (103) and terminates the service. do. If the authentication is successful, the input digit is analyzed (104). If the call belongs to another network, the call is transferred to the other network through the gateway MSC / SSP (105). In case of belonging to the same network, routing information is inquired to the HLR (106), the routing information is received (107), and the call is forwarded to the destination MSC / SSP (108). When the called terminal responds to paging (109), it provides a call with the calling terminal (110). When the call is received at the end of the call (111), the originating MSC / SSP delivers the billing-related information such as the terminal number and the call time of the called party to the CC from the time when the call with the called terminal starts. (112). The CC updates the charging information using the information obtained from the originating MSC / SSP of this subscriber (113) and ends the call.
도 3 은 가입자의 CC 에 저장된 가입자의 통화 기록을 이용하여 가입자에게 다양한 요금제도별 사용요금을 고지하여 주고 가입자가 최적의 요금을 선택하기를 원하는 경우 요금제도의 변경을 실시간으로 수행해주는 절차에 관한 흐름도이다. 일정 기간동안의 이동 통신 서비스 후 CC 에서 과금 계산 요구를 수신하면 (200) 가입자에 대해 저장되어 있는 통화정보를 이용하여 사용자가 선택한 요금제뿐 아니라 사업자가 제공하고 있는 타 요금제를 적용하였을 경우의 요금도 같이 계산하여(201) 가입자에게 과금 정보를 전달하여 준다(202). 이 때 사용자가 요금제도를 변경하기를 원하는지 체크하여(203) 변경을 원하지 않는 경우 절차를 종료하고 변경을 원하는 경우 처리방식을 선택하고(204) 지능망 서비스로 처리를 원하는 경우 SCP 에 요금제도 변경 처리를 요구한다(205). SCP 에서는 CC 와의 처리를 통해 요금제도를 변경하고(206) 요금제도 변경확인을 수신하여(207) 절차를 종료한다. WAP(Wireless Application Protocol)을 이용한 요금제도 변경을 원하는 경우 인터넷망으로 요구를 전달하고(208) 요금제도 변경을 수행한 후(209) 요금제도 변경 확인을 수신한 후(210) 절차를 종료한다.FIG. 3 is a flowchart illustrating a procedure for notifying subscribers of various fee plans by using subscriber's call records stored in the subscriber's CC and performing a change of a fee plan in real time when the subscriber wants to select an optimal fee. It is a flow chart. When the charge calculation request is received from the CC after the mobile communication service for a certain period of time (200), not only the plan selected by the user using the stored call information for the subscriber but also the fee in case the other plan provided by the operator is applied It calculates as 201 and delivers the billing information to the subscriber (202). At this time, the user checks whether they want to change the rate system (203), if they do not want to change it, terminates the procedure, selects the processing method if they want to change it (204), and handles the change of the rate system to SCP if they want to process it with the intelligent network service. (205). SCP processes the CC to change the rate system (206) and receives confirmation of the rate system change (207) to terminate the procedure. If a change of the rate system using the WAP (Wireless Application Protocol) is desired, the request is forwarded to the Internet network (208), the rate system is changed (209), and the procedure of receiving the rate system change confirmation (210) is terminated.
가입자에게 가입자의 통화 특성에 따라서 최적인 요금제도를 망에서 알려주어 가입자에게 진정한 의미의 최적 요금제를 가능하게 해 줌으로써 가입자의 통신비용 절감을 가져오고 이로 인해 더 많은 신규 가입자를 유치할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.It is expected that the subscriber will be able to reduce the communication cost of subscribers by attracting more new subscribers by informing the subscriber of the optimal rate system according to the characteristics of the subscriber's call and enabling the subscriber to the optimal optimal rate plan. do.
