Definitions
- FIGURE 2 is a block diagram of a telecommunications system providing mobile service to a mobile station roaming within a visited Public Land Mobile Network (PLMN) ;
- FIGURE 3 is an exemplary data structure for storing home PLMN specific default long distance carrier data;
- FIGURE 4 is a block diagram of a PLMN associated with a serving mobile switching center (MSC) for determining a home PLMN specific long distance carrier in accordance with the teachings of the present invention
- FIGURE 5 is a flowchart illustrating a process for determining a home PLMN specific long distance carrier for a roaming mobile station.
- MSC serving mobile switching center
- FIGURE 1 is a block diagram of a communications system, including a mobile switching center (MSC) 10 and a base station controller (BSC) 20 within a Public Land Mobile Network (PLMN) 30, providing mobile service to a mobile station 40.

- FIG. 2 illustrating a block diagram of a communications system, including a PSTN 110 and a visited PLMN 30b, providing mobile service to a mobile station 40 roaming within the visited PLMN 30b.
- the subscriber designated long distance carrier is always used.
- the mobile station 40 roams into a visited PLMN 30b, utilizing the same long distance carrier is not always possible.
- the serving MSC performs a mobile station location update with the HLR 60 associated with the home PLMN 30a.
- FIG. 3 is an exemplary data structure for storing default long distance carrier data associated with a particular home network operator.
- a register storing PLMN specific long distance carrier data formatted in accordance with the data structure 120.
- the first column of the data structure 120 represents the identity of the network operators or PLMNs whose mobile stations may roam into this particular PLMN area.
- preferred long distance carrier data provided by each network operator.
- home network operator data 130a representing MOBIL TEL are stored in the register correlated with its preferred long distance carrier identification numbers 140a-140c.
- the long distance carrier identification numbers represent the long distance carriers identified by MOBIL TEL as its preferred default carriers for its mobile subscribers roaming within this particular PLMN.
- FIG. 3 the corresponding long distance carriers preferred by the home PLMN or network provider are then retrieved and utilized by the serving MSC 10b. Furthermore, if the identification number, such as MSISDN number, associated with the mobile station 40 is not recognizable within the existing telecommunications network, the application module 150 further retrieves the assigned billing account number from the register 160. Thereinafter, long distance calls originated from or forwarded by the mobile station 40 are routed by the selected long distance carrier.
- FIGURE 5 is a flowchart illustrating a process for determining a home PLMN specific long distance carrier for a roaming mobile station.
- the serving MSC receives an identification number, such as the assigned IMSI number, from the mobile station roaming into the MSC coverage area at step 200.
