Abstract
An intelligent router takes the place of a conventional SCCP relay in a wireless network. The intelligent router automatically provisions and updates subscriber information in a network file.
Claims18
A router configured for use in a wireless network providing telecommunication services to mobile stations operated by subscribers to said telecommunication services, said router comprising:
- a microprocessor;
- and
- a mass storage device coupled to said microprocessor, said mass storage device containing a network entity file and a routing translation file, said network entity file contains addresses of entities accessible to said router and said translation file is used to store translations from a mobile switching equipment dialable number to an address of one of said entities;
- wherein, upon receiving information regarding a call to a subscriber for which a translation is not present in the translation table, said microprocessor automatically updates, without human intervention, said translation table to provide a translation for the subscriber.
1 more element
A method of managing routing information in a wireless network, comprising:
- (a) receiving a request for routing information for a subscriber's mobile switching equipment (“MS”);
- (b) determining whether a translation exists in a translation file for the MS, the translation translating a dialable number associated with the MS to a network entity containing location information as to the MS's current location;
- and
- (c) if no translation currently exists in the translation file, sending messages to a plurality of network entities to determine which of the entities contains the desired current location information for the MS.
1 more element
A wireless network providing telecommunication service to a plurality of mobile switching equipment, comprising:
- a first router;
- a plurality of second routers coupled to said first router;
- and
- a plurality of network entities coupled to said second routers;
- wherein the first router has access to a network entity file and a routing translation file, said network entity file contains addresses of said second routers and said translation file is used to store translations from a mobile switching equipment dialable number to an address of one of said network entities which contains location information pertaining to the mobile switching equipment;
- and
- further wherein, upon receiving information regarding a call to a subscriber for which a translation is not present in the translation table, said first router automatically updates, without human intervention, said translation table to provide a translation for the subscriber.
