INTRODUCTION
1.1 OBJECTIVE
This contribution provides recommendations for supporting wireless
portability between PLMN (such as GSM network) and CDMA
network.,making using of the WIN functions.
1.2 SCOPE
This document specifies the wireless network impacts of Number Portability(NP),
specifically network portability. In this document, network portability is the ability of
end users to retain the same directory numbers(DNs) whenever the end users change
between PLMN (such as GSM network) and CDMA network.

NP_SRF

DB
GMSC
In this solution , a new device(NP_SRF) will added before HLR and MC. All SCCP
message send to HLR and MC must be relayed by an NP_SRF, NP_SRF is going to
analyze the signaling message with NP numbers, then to query NP-DB, and determine
the way to process the messages based on the query.
Compare with the call forward solution or Intelligent solution, NP_SRF solution has
many Advantages:
Only NP_SRF devices are to be added and no upgrade is necessary to other
devices and software in the network;
Call delay wont be affected, no redundant signaling will be generated, and there
wont be any signaling bottleneck;
NP services of both call Related and Non-call Related (such as short message, etc.)
can be implemented through the signaling processing;
No alternative voice circuit;
4 INFORMATION FLOW
4.1 Call Flow Analysis
4.1.1
The MDN number of NP subscriber is not changed, and NP service has no effect on the
call when the NP subscriber is the caller.
4.1.2
When NP subscriber is the called, the NP-SRF of GSM network shall add the prefix
RN identifying the subscription network for NP-out subscribers when requiring the
route, and the NP-SRF of CDMA network shall record the number of subscription HLR
of NP-in subscribers and replace the destination address.

8). VMSC finds it is the number of other networks, and connects the voice
circuit directly to the GMSC of GSM network;
9). The GMSC of GSM network connects the voice circuit to that of CDMA
network;
10). The GMSC of CDMA network originates the LOCREQ request with the
RN + MSISDN;
11). NP-SRF analyzes the message, removes the prefix RN and queries it in
DB;
12). DB finds it is the NP-in subscriber, and changes the SCCP destination
address to the NP-HLR number;
13). NP-SRF sends the LOCREQ message to NP-HLR;
14). NP-HLR returns the LOCREQ response, with the roaming number
attached;
15). The GMSC of CDMA network connects the voice circuit to VMSC;
16). VMSC connects the voice circuit to the subscriber.

For the short message sent by NP subscriber, the SMC is addressed according to the
calling IMSI. So, the short message sent by NP subscriber won't have any consequence.
4.2.2
GSM network shall add the prefix RN of the subscription network for NP-out
subscriber, and CDMA network shall record the number of fixed MC of NP-in
subscribers and replace the destination address, and the network-crossing short
message requires the support of short message gateway between CDMA network
and GSM network.

4.2.3
VMSC sends the SMMO request to the short message center of the
caller;
STP transfers SMMO to NP-SRF;
NP-SRF analyzes the message and sends the called number to
NP-DB for querying;
NP-DB finds the subscriber is NP subscriber, and adds the prefix RN
before the called number;
NP-SRF transfer the message to the short message center;
The short message center finds RN + MSISDN is the number of
other networks, and sends the short message directly to the short
message gateway of GSM network;
After the format conversion, the short message gateway of GSM
network is able to send the message to the gateway of CDMA
network;
The gateway of CDMA network sends the SMDPP message with the
RN + MSISDN as the destination address;
NP-SRF analyzes the message, removes the prefix RN and queries it
in DB;
DB finds it is the NP-in subscriber, and returns the address of
Destination MC;
NP-SRF sends the SMDPP message to Destination MC;
Destination MC requires SMSADDR from HLR;
NP-SRF intercepts and analyzes the message and sends it to NP-DB
for querying;
NP-DB finds the subscriber is NP-in subscriber, and returns the
number of NP-HLR to NP-SRF
NP-SRF transfer the SMSADDR to NP-HLR by changing NP-HLR
as the SCCP destination address;
NP_HLR returns SMSADDR response;
Destination MC sends SMDPP to VMSC;
VMSC send the short message to the subscriber.
CDMA Network shall record the number of MC of NP-in subscriber and replace the
destination address.
