Abstract

A central routing function (CRF) platform. The CRF platform comprises at least one processor; a non-transitory memory communicatively coupled to the at least one processor that stores a plurality of prioritized international call route lists where each prioritized international call route list associates alternative international communication service carrier routes in a prioritized order with an international telephone number; and a call process application stored in the non-transitory memory that, when executed by the processor, receives a request for a prioritized international call route list from a network element, where the request comprises an international telephone number, pads out the international telephone number received from the network element to form a 15-digit number, looks up a prioritized international route list using the 15-digit number in the non-transitory memory, and sends the prioritized international route list to the network element.

Dependent claims

A central routing function (CRF) platform, comprising:

at least one processor;
a non-transitory memory communicatively coupled to the at least one processor that stores a plurality of prioritized international call route lists where each prioritized international call route list associates alternative international communication service carrier routes in a prioritized order with an international telephone number;
and
a call process application stored in the non-transitory memory that, when executed by the processor:
receives a request for a prioritized international call route list from a network element, where the request comprises an international telephone number,
pads out the international telephone number received from the network element to form a 15-digit number,
looks up a prioritized international route list using the 15-digit number in the non-transitory memory, and
sends the prioritized international route list to the network element.

5 more elements

A method of providing a prioritized international call route list to a network element, where the international call route list associates alternative international communication service carrier routes with an international telephone number, comprising:

building a plurality of prioritized international call route lists by an international call routing management system based on key performance indicators (KPIs) of international call routes, wherein the KPIs comprise a minutes of use KPI;
adapting the prioritized international call route lists based on pre-defined overrides by the international call routing management system;
sending the adapted prioritized international call route lists by the international call routing management system to a central routing function (CRF) platform;
receiving a request for a prioritized international call route list by the CRF platform from a network element, where the request comprises an international telephone number;
accessing a prioritized international call route list associated with the international telephone number by the CRF platform from among the plurality of adapted prioritized international call route lists;
determining by the CRF platform that the international telephone number is associated with a percent allocation rule;
based on the percent allocation rule removing the first priority call route from the prioritized call route list associated with the international telephone number by the CRF platform to make a curtailed prioritized international call route list;
and
sending the curtailed prioritized international call route list by the CRF platform to the network element.
