Abstract
A system and method for integrating call detail records for a multiple network environment includes an operations support system having call detail record control logic configured to combine wireless and wireline call detail records that correspond to the same customer into an integrated call record. Access manager control logic connected to the wireless network and switching control logic connected to the wireline network generate wireless and wireline call detail records that are received at the operations support system. Advantageously, combining the wireless and wireline call detail records forms an integrated call record.
Claims20
A system for integrating call detail records for a multiple network environment, the system comprising:
- access manager control logic connected to a wireless network, the access manager control logic being configured to generate a wireless call detail record in response to placement of a wireless call from a call source having an identity;
- switching control logic connected to a wireline network, the switching control logic being configured to generate a wireline call detail record;
- and
- an operations support system having call detail record control logic configured to receive the wireless call detail record form the access manager control logic, to receive the wireline call detail record from the switching control logic, and to combine wireless and wireline call detail records that correspond to the same customer into an integrated call record.
A method for integrating call detail records for a multiple network environment, the method comprising:
- generating a wireless call detail record in response to placement of a wireless call from a call source having an identity, the wireless call detail record being generated at access manager control logic connected to a wireless network;
- generating a wireline call detail record at switching control logic connected to a wireline network;
- receiving the wireless call detail record from the access manager control logic at an operations support system;
- receiving the wireline call detail record from the switching control logic at the operations support system;
- and
- combining wireless and wireline call detail records corresponding to the same customer into an integrated call record.
A multiple network system for integrating call detail records, the system comprising:
- a wireless network;
- access manager control logic connected to the wireless network, the access manager control logic being configured to generate a wireless call detail record in response to placement of a wireless call from a call source having an identity;
- a wireline network in communication with the wireless network through a control interface;
- switching control logic connected to the wireline network, the switching control logic being configured to generate a wireline call detail record;
- and
- an operations support system having call detail record control logic configured to receive the wireless call detail record form the access manager control logic, to receive the wireline call detail record from the switching control logic, and to combine wireless and wireline call detail records that correspond to the same customer into an integrated call record.
