  • tromboning One phenomenon that occurs with International calls to roamers occurs with call forwarding to mailboxes or to other numbers and is known as tromboning.
  • the calling party calls the roamer who does not answer.
  • the unsuccessful caller is then forwarded from the roamer to the roamer's mailbox where he leaves a message.
  • the calling party is connected via an outgoing international leg to the roamer and then via a second incoming international leg back to the roamer's home network where his voicemail is located.
  • the calling party pays for a local call, since he dialed a local number.
  • the called party however has to pay for two international legs of the call, all this for a call that he did not even answer.
  • the phenomenon is known as tromboning, and leads to substantial ill feeling and customer care issues with subscribers, so much so that many are induced not to use roaming at all, or at least to cancel their mailboxes whilst roaming, leading to substantial loss of opportunity for farther calls.
  • Late Call Forwarding is performed conditionally due to the subscriber's inability to answer a call routed to the handset. Conversely, Early Call Forwarding is performed without the network's attempt to route the call to the handset. This happens when the handset is shut off or when the subscriber requests unconditional forwarding of all incoming calls. Late Call Forwarding for busy/no-answer/not-reachable conditions can be configured to any number, usually to the subscriber's voice mailbox.
  • the visited network routes the call back to the home voicemail system (the default setting for most roamers). This in turn causes inefficient international tromboning, resulting in a negative impact on the caller and subscriber experience, and forces roamers to pay international tariffs for voicemail deposits.

  • the way in which this controlled call forwarding is carried out depends on the kind of network involved, and a number of different variations are described below.
  • the Optimal Voicemail Deposit system based on the IntelliGate Roaming SDP 114 can be integrated with the operator's network via GMSC 120 using one of the following two signaling methods:
  • the present embodiments provide a genetic technical solution for the service.
  • the final delivered solution to the operator must be adjusted to the specific network configuration and parameters such as: network size and topology, traffic volume, INAP vendor's variant, CAMEL version if relevant and the operator's preferences, as will be apparent to the person skilled in the art.
  • the IntelliGate unit 114 controls mobile unanswered delivered to outbound roaming subscribers. This solution is suitable for networks that are already IN or CAMEL ready and/or networks that experience a relatively high outbound rowing traffic.
  • call control is performed using a combination of Trigger Detection Points and Event Detection points, as will be explained.
  • call control is performed using ISUP signaling.
  • the IntelliGate 114 directly routes the call to the called party's voicemail system using only HMPN resources, along with the original called number, as if it was a local call in the home network.
  • the IntelliGate is connected to the MSC. Call control does not require connecting the IntelliGate to the network via voice channels. Rather SS7 signaling links are only used to convey ISUP signaling. This inter-connection is achieved by utilizing a Loop-Around technique on the MSC. The loop around technique is now described.
  • Every call requires two ports on the MSC. These ports are connected together to form a loop using a cable so that there is always a voice path between these two ports.
  • the International Intelligent gateway or IntelliGate 114 uses the ISUP signaling for call control to control the looped-around ports using standard ISUP messages.
  • the IntelliGate controls the forwarding settings of roaming subscribers automatically when registering to a foreign network as well when returning back to the operator's network. Control has mainly to do with deactivating and reactivating the forwarding.
  • the HLR interface is based on standard SS7/MAP signaling.
  • the Intelligate is typically provided with an SS7 compatible probe 116 for monitoring SS7 signaling traffic over International links.
  • the probe known as the SS7 Mobility Probe allows the IntelliGate to have access to the operator's international SCCP signaling links in a completely passive mode.
  • This interface is used to obtain the relevant subscriber information such as the MSISDN and the forwarding-to-number (FTN).
  • FTN forwarding-to-number
  • probe and probe interface can be excluded from the final solution, for example when both the following conditions occur:
  • the Intelligate is preferably provided with a provisioning interface 122 .
  • Provisioning interface 122 allows the management of application parameters and subscriber lists.
  • the operator allows the provisioning of IMSI/MSISDN numbers of those subscribers who are entitled to use the Optimal Voicemail Deposit service (white list).
  • the same interface can be used to block the service for pre-paid users or certain user groups (block list).
  • FIG. 4 illustrates the message flow in the various sages of forwarding an unanswered call.
  • the process of forwarding an unanswered call according to the present embodiments begins before the call to the roamer is left unanswered.
  • a first stage is the service initial stage, which is now described.
  • the service initial process refers to non call-related processing. This process includes three main activities:
  • the IntelliGate 114 Using its Mobility Probe 116 , the IntelliGate 114 automatically detects a registration event of any outbound roamer belonging to the current network. By monitoring the registration messages such as MAP UpdateLocation and MAP_ISD, the IntelliGate 114 collects the information necessary for the application such as the correlation of the IMSI to MSISDN and the configured FTN's. The system supports both optimal call forwarding to any number or call forwarding only to voicemail. The correlation between IMSI and MSISDN is not required when forwarding to voicemail.
  • the IntelliGate can understand the subscriber's profile. Based on the forwarding profile we can categorize the subscribers into “default” subscribers and “advanced” subscribers. If the subscriber has requested a different FIN for different cases then the subscriber's profile is considered “advanced”. If all cases are forwarded to the voicemail or disabled then the subscriber's profile considered “default”.
  • Some networks automatically disable call forwarding for roamers; in this case the OVMD service can automatically “learn” the original CF profile of the subscriber and act accordingly.
  • the service uses MAP_INTERROGATE_SS or MAP_SRI requests to the HLR to retrieve the CF information. The information retrieved is used to determine whether or not call forwarding is enabled for the subscriber.
  • the decision to check the HLR is configured and provisioned in the IntelliGate 114 according to the presently preferred embodiments.
  • the IntelliGate 114 sends, if configured (when the network doesn't disable FTN automatically), a MAP_Deactivate_SS message to the HLR and thereby is able to avoid international forwarding from the VPMN to HPMN during roaming.
  • the deactivation is preferably according to the following rules based on FIN values:
  • the system preferably checks for any changes in the forwarding information by the subscriber or Customer Care. Both changes appear in a MAP_ISD sent to the serving VLR. The message is preferably monitored and the system may act to reinstate the required changes for the subscriber in order to provide the service according to the following rules, based on the subscriber's requested forward to number, FTN.
  • the GMSC 108 receives an MT call destined to an outbound roamer.
  • the GMSC after interrogating the HLR and receiving the MSRN, grants call control to the IntelliGate 114 using INAP or ISUP as appropriate.
  • the main difference between ISUP and IN signaling is the availability of the original called number, i.e. the roamer's MSISDN.
  • the GMSC itself normally does not provide that number in an outgoing call to an international destination, only the MSRN is used for routing. With IN protocols it is anticipated that the OCN is provided as part of the IN query sent by the MSC/SSP.
  • the present embodiments provide a solution for the missing MT MSISDN based on monitoring the MAP signaling as described below.
  • the operator may wish to acquire a solution from its MSC vendor.
  • the IntelliGate 114 routes the call via the GMSC 108 and the international carrier 124 to VPMN 126 at the roamer's current location.
  • the visited serving MSC tries to extend the call to the roamer.
  • the roamer may not answer for any of the three reasons—no reply, busy and not reachable.
  • the IntelliGate 114 offers two scenarios which can be configured for the convenience of the network operator.
  • the visited MSC/VLR has no active forwarding information and therefore releases the call.
  • the IntelliGate 114 receives the release signal from the visited MSC, it forwards the call via the GMSC to the pre-configured FIN which will in many cases be the VMS.
  • the IntelliGate will make the caller's CLI and the roamer's MSISDN available to the VMS.
  • the IntelliGate For DLCF function, if the IntelliGate receives a meaningful release cause it preferably forwards the call according to the value to the FTN indicated in the profile for that release cause.
  • the VMSC forwards the call to the requested FTN. If the requested FTN is the voicemail, in fact the usual default, then the call is routed back to the HPMN.
  • the IntelliGate receives the forwarded call, then the call itself is released. This, in turn, causes the originally routed call to be released. That is to say the double international leg or trombone is released. Upon receiving this release the IntelliGate routes the originator's call via the GMSC to the reconfigured MN, which is in most cases, the VMS. The IntelliGate then makes available the caller's CLI and the roamer's MSISDN to the VMS.
  • Some networks may not receive the release cause from the international links, say Busy, etc.
  • the release caused received is changed to a default or common cause, for example: NORMAL UNSPECIFIED.
  • the Optimal Voicemail Deposit service ensue that once the roamer returns to its HPMN the original forwarding settings arm reactivated. This is done by monitoring the MAP_CANCEL message on the international signaling links. Per each detected CANCEL message the time interval between this event and the prior MAP_ISD event is measured. If this time is longer than a predefined time parameter then the IntelliGate queries the HLR using the MAP_SRI_SM message to obtain the address of the roamer's serving MSC/VLR. If the MSC/VLR's address belongs to HPMN's network than it is concluded td the roamer has returned to the home network. In this case the IntelliGate sends a MAP_Activate_SS message to the HLR.
  • Networks which have deactivated call forwarding automatically on roaming typically have to reactivate the original call forwarding when the subscriber returns home.

  • Step 9 The GMSC sends an ERB message to the IntelliGate reporting about the call release.
  • Step 11 The GMSC routes the call to the VMS system.
  • the prepaid system architecture introduces technical challenge to the flow of the service. The reason is that the pre-paid system is always the first to process the call.
  • the Optimal Voicemail Deposit processes the call after the pre-paid system the call, although answered by the local VMS, appears to the prepaid system as if the roamer was the one who answered. This in turn causes the pre-paid user to pay one international leg for VM deposit.
  • the present embodiments offer several solutions targeted for different network constellations and vendors. However if the operator prefers to block prepaid users from the service altogether then it can provision the application with either of the two:
  • Optimal Voicemail Deposit service offers operators the following benefits:
  • the method described up to now involves interfacing directly with the HLR, and sending a command modifying the forwarding information.
  • FIG. 7 illustrates an embodiment that teaches sending an additional ISD (Insert Subscriber Data message) to the serving VLR, overriding the previous ISD sent by the HLR.
  • ISD Intelligent Subscriber Data message
  • Such an additional ISD message preferably modifies the forwarding information at the serving VLR only, not touching the HLR.
  • FIG. 8 illustrates an embodiment that teaches sending of a DSD to the serving VLR, the DSD being a “Delete Subscriber Information” instruction, with which it is possible to delete the forwarding information only.
  • the ISD message is a somewhat large message, containing the full profile of the subscriber.
  • FIG. 9 illustrates an embodiment that uses an SRM (Signaling Relay Module), as described hereinabove.
  • SRM Signal Relay Module
  • An SRM is a signaling platform that is connected to the SS7 telephone signaling network at a given point. When connected it controls the SS7 traffic, generally consisting of GSM MAP messages, at that point, with the ability to modify signaling transactions or relay them with no modification.
  • the SRM can be used to implement some of the optional voicemail deposit embodiments that will be described below.
  • the transparent option illustrated in FIG. 10 , does not change the network structure at all, and therefore is transparent to the network.
  • STP 100 and GMSC 102 were connected directly to each other before SRM 104 was plugged into the network. After SRM 104 is added the SW and GMSC do not feel any change, each one sees the SRM, as it was the previous component they worked with.
  • the service node option (b) requires some routing modifications to the network, since it introduces a new entity to the network.
  • an originating node 106 originates a transaction, which passes initially to GMSC 108 .
  • Transactions reaching the GMSC 108 are now either routed via a first branch to SRM 110 by the GMSC, or via a second branch to destination mode 112 .
  • Transactions diverted to the SRM 110 instead of to the destination node 112 may later be routed later by the SRM to the destination node.
  • FIG. 12 is a simplified diagram showing the message exchange of a system for identifying an unanswered call to a roamer using a probe.
  • the messaging stages are numbered and are discussed in table 5, below.
  • TABLE 5 Handling Procedure at WHCfR for missed call notification Step 1 A mobile terminated (MT) call arrives at the GMSC.
  • the GMSC interrogates the HLR for routing information (MAP_SRI).
  • Step 2a The HLR interrogates the serving VLR (MAP_PRN) and receives the MSRN (MAP_PRN_ack).
  • the Probe captures these messages, thus providing the WHCfR application with the IMSI-MSRN assignment Step 3
  • the Probe captures the message, providing the WHCfR application with the CLI, MSRN Step 3a
  • the WHCfR handles the cases as described below Step 4
  • the WHCfR application initiates missed call notification to B number.
  • Step 4a In case the user has requested to forward his calls to VMS Step 4b In case the user has requestcd to forward his calls to a different number.
  • the probes monitor the incoming and outgoing international ISUP and MAP links for certain signals.
  • the signals are: IAM, SAM, ACM, ANM, REL, RLC.
  • the MAP case these are: MAP_PRN (+ack), MAP_ISD (+ack), MAP_Update_Location, MAP_CANCEL.
  • the WHCfR application preferably identifies the user location changes, and creates a mapping of MSISDN IMSI MSRN in order to tack outgoing calls and subsequent forwarding of the calls.
  • the probes look for correlations between the outgoing and incoming calls.
  • Any correlation between MSISDN IMSI MSRN is preferably saved until a MAP_CANCEL message is detected to the V-VLR (a new MSRN is assigned for the roamer).
  • the mapping shall be persistent during service restart (upgrade, fault recovery, shutdown, etc.).
  • Every unanswered call may tier be defined as a WHCfR event.
  • the unanswered call may be any of No Reply (no answer), Unreachable (page fault), and Busy.
  • the WHCfR can then monitor both outgoing and incoming calls on the international link to try and find a correlation with the calls that where forwarded back to the home network (to the Voicemail or to WHC local).
  • the decision whether to send a notification or not may be made by matching of the information elements or table 6 in the ISUP messages: TABLE 6 ISUP Elements for matching Incoming Call Outgoing from roamer Call to (call roamer forwarding) Remarks CLI CLI Same CLI in both directions DN (VM or Only redirected calls to the VM or WHC) WHC shall be handled. VM access number which is formulated (algorithm based) is out of scope of this MRD and shall be handled as a customization feature. Roamers DN OCN The mailbox owner is sent in the OCN field RDR (Busy or WHC local system deals only with Not cases of busy and not reachable. No Reachable) Answer is not handled by WHC local, thus shall be handled by WHCfR.
  • OCN field RDR Bussy or WHC local system deals only with Not cases of busy and not reachable. No Reachable
  • Answer is not handled by WHC local, thus shall be handled by WHCfR.
  • an option not to send WHCfR events for specific destinations in dependence on the release cause thus No Reply, Busy, Unreachable, or in accordance with other factors such as Mobile Country Code and Mobile Network Code or any combination of the above.
  • Such an option may prevent double notification for destinations with guaranteed CLI delivery.
  • WHCfR events are typically reported to the WHC application server over SNAP.
  • the WHCfR preferably passes the following fields (via SNAP) to WHC application:
  • the WHCfR application may use calling or A party CLIR information. Furthermore if the A party has its CLIR set to restricted—no WHCfR event is preferably issued.
  • Calls that have been answered by a network prompt (ANM with NO CHARGE indication) from the visited network are preferably considered as NOT answered calls and a WHCfR event is preferably sent.
  • an ISUP RELease message may not contain the actual release cause but a generic value. Such a case has been discussed above and need not limit the behavior of the WHCfR system.
  • Retry logic is set by a SNAP_NUMBER_OF_RETRIES parameter and a SNAP_RETRY_INTERVAL parameter.
  • FIG. 13 is a simplified flow chart that illustrates the logic flow of the above-described service.
  • WHCfR is liable to send a notification even if the call actually was answered by the called or B party, but with very short duration.
  • WHCfR may decide that it is dealing with a slam down without correlation and send an event even though the B party has answered and did not actually miss the call.
  • the system is for use without restriction to the kind of networks. Nevertheless the present embodiments especially concentrate on the network types given in Table 7, in order of priority: TABLE 7 network types to be supported in order of priority Capability Ph. 1 GSM over ITU 1 1 2 GSM over ANSI TBD 2 3 Proprietary SS7 formats (British, Japanese etc.) TBD 2
  • roaming subscribers tend to eider shut off the handset or not to answer calls (or at least some of the calls) especially when they are engaged in e.g. business meeting. For example, handsets may be shut off due to different time-zones (roamer is sleeping).
  • MCN can partially solve this problem: roamers who do not answer calls are able to receive an SMS with the details of the calling patty and therefore will try to get in contact with those who they want to.
  • MCN is becoming very popular in the local market.
  • One example of such a product for the local market is the Converse Who Called service.
  • CLI caller-ID
  • the only applicable case is the handset-off case since caller-ID (CLI) is available to an open handset. That is to say, as long as the telephone was switched on at the time the call was received, the calling number is saved for future reference. If the telephone was not switched on then an SMS arriving later with the details is valuable.
  • the caller ID is rarely passed on, and thus even if the roamer's phone was switched on at the time, a subsequently received SMS with the caller details would be helpful.
  • Missed Call Notification is thus a valuable service for outbound roaming subscribers. If the phone is off/busy or the traveler simply does not answer a call, the application automatically sends an SMS to the roamer indicating the missed call event along with its details: caller ID, time and date of call.
  • Such a missed call notification may be provided as a default to all outbound roamers. However, some operators may wish to provide it on a subscription based approach.
  • the MCN preferably detects an unanswered mobile terminated call to an outbound roamer, in any of the ways outlined in the preceding embodiments.
  • the MSC supplies the B-party's MSISDN then the MSISDN can be used as the address to send the SMS.
  • the MSC does not supply the MSISDN then the MSISDN has to be obtained using other means, for example real-time probing as with the OVMD embodiment above.
  • the missed call notification or MCN involves the following:
  • the MCN preferably incorporates detection of a mobile terminated call to an outbound roamer that was either forwarded to an FTN (e.g. a voicemail service) in the HPMN or released due to non forwarding settings by the called party.
  • FTN e.g. a voicemail service
  • the MCN Upon detection of the forwarded call the MCN involves the following:
  • This solution is based on a combination of MAP & ISUP monitoring and an active HLR modification process.
  • FIG. 14 is a simplified schematic diagram illustrating the call flow in the case of the call being terminated following no answer at the roaming device.
  • the stages are set out in table 8 below.
  • TABLE 8 Call flow in case of No Answer at the roamer

  • This second solution is based on an additional valid OVMD infrastructure already implemented at the operator's network.
  • an HLR modification process is added to provide a complete solution.
  • the OVMD in the present solution allows late call forwarding CF and missed call notification MCN in addition to optima routing.
  • the HLR Modification also allows early call forwarding and missed call notification.
  • This solution uses the OVMD infrastructure to control missed calls to subscribers while roaming, and hereinbelow we explain the MCN interaction regardless of OVMD optimization.

  • call control is performed using ISUP signaling.
  • the IntelliGate is triggered to directly route the call to the called party's voicemail system using only HMPN resources, along with the original called number, as if it were a local call in the home network.
  • Call control does not necessarily connecting the IntelliGate to the network via voice channels. Rather signaling links are only required to convey the ISUP signaling. This inter-connection is achieved by utilizing a ‘Loop-Back’ technique on the MSC.
  • the technical solution must support deactivation of the existing forwarding settings of the outbound roamer as soon as he/she registers at a foreign VLR.
