 Technical Proposal for BSNL CDMA MNP

1 INTRODUCTION
Mobile Number Portability is a service that allows mobile subscribers to change their service provider
while retaining their subscriber number. Portability benefits subscribers and increase the level of
competition between service providers, rewarding those operators having better customer service,
network coverage & service quality. Keeping in view the growth of telecom services in India, TRAI
has initiated the process of implementing MNP in Indian Telecom Sector.
The scope of this document is to address the requirements for implementation of Mobile Number
Portability (MNP) in MSCs. The document covers voice call flows impacted by MNP implementation
highlighting requirements in MSCs.

This document only describes the MNP for voice, sms, and prepaid services. Other services related
MNP issues are out range of this project.

Following Assumptions made about MSC and HLR in these expected Flows :
For MSC: In BSNL network, there are several MSC in each circle.
• If a subscriber is ported into BSNL network, when other network’s MSC forward the
ported-in number to BSNL’s MSC, BSNL should assign one special MSC to act as
GMSC in each circle to process.

For HLR: In BSNL network, there are several HLR in each circle.
• If a subscriber is ported into BSNL network, BSNL should assign one special HLR in
each circle to store those proted-in subscriber’s information.
• STP should relay the message like LOCREQ to the correct HLR based on GT as
confirmed in the following chapter.

ZTE suggest BSNL deploy separate GMSC in each circle, and 4 sets new centralized HLR in Pan-
India, or the load of the chosen MSC and HLR will be increased. As confirmed by BSNL, the above
assumptions will be done in current MNP implementation,

All the following flow have been confirmed by ZTE, Tekelec(SSTP/NPDB vendor) and BSNL.

2 MSC REQUIREMENT TO SUPPORT MNP

2.1 Intra-Circle call
Scenario 1: B is BSNL CDMA subscriber,B is non-ported
If B is BSNL CDMA subscriber, MSC will send NPREQ to STP, the called number is B or CC+B,
GT is B or CC+B, TT is 0; and STP will return LRN + B back to MSC.
As B is non-ported, MSC will send LOCREQ to STP, in this LOCREQ, the called number is B or
CC+B, and GT is CC+LRN+B, TT is 0.
HLR will return locreq with TLDN back to MSC, relayed by STP.

Scenario 2: B is BSNL CDMA subscriber, B is ported to other network

If B is BSNL CDMA subscriber, MSC will send NPREQ to STP, the called number is B or CC+B,
GT is B or CC+B, TT is 0; and STP will return LRN + B back to MSC. As B is ported to other
network, MSC will send IAM with the called number LRN+B to the ported-in network.
Because in BSNL network, all out-circle or out-network call is relayed by TAX, so in the figure we
show just TAX(the same as the other figure in this chapter). TAX will relay the call to the ported-in
network.

Scenario 3: B is not BSNL CDMA subscriber, B is non-ported

If B is not BSNL CDMA subscriber, MSC will send NPREQ to STP, the called number is B or CC+B,
GT is B or CC+B, TT is 0, and STP will return LRN + B back to MSC.
As B is non-ported, MSC will send IAM with called number LRN+B to TAX, and TAX will relay the
call to other network

Scenario 4: B is not BSNL CDMA subscriber, B is ported to BSNL network

If B is not BSNL CDMA subscriber, MSC will send NPREQ to STP, the called number is B or CC+B,
GT is B or CC+B, TT is 0; and STP will return RN + B back to MSC.
As B is ported to BSNL, MSC will send LOCREQ to STP, in this LOCREQ, called number is B or
CC+B, GT is CC+LRN+B, TT is 0.
STP forwards LOCREQ to the corresponding HLR and HLR will return locreq back to MSC with
TLDN.

Scenario 5: B is not BSNL CDMA subscriber, B is ported to third network

If B is not BSNL CDMA subscriber, MSC will send NPREQ to STP, the called number is B or CC+B,
GT is B or CC+B, TT is 0; and STP will return LRN + B back to MSC.
As B is ported to third network, MSC will send IAM with called number LRN+B to TAX, and TAX
will relay the call to the third network.

2.2 Inter-Circle call

Scenario 1: B is BSNL CDMA subscriber,B is non-ported
If B is BSNL CDMA subscriber, MSC will send NPREQ to STP, the called number is B or CC+B,
GT is B or CC+B, TT is 0; and STP will return LRN + B back to MSC.
As B belongs to other circle, MSC will send IAM with called number LRN+B to the TAX, and the
TAX will relay the call to the BSNL destination circle’s TAX.

Scenario 2: B is BSNL CDMA subscriber, B is ported to other network

If B is BSNL CDMA subscriber, MSC will send NPREQ to STP, the called number is B or CC+B,
GT is B or CC+B, TT is 0; and STP will return LRN + B back to MSC.
As B is ported to other network, MSC will send IAM with called number LRN+B to the TAX, and the
TAX will relay the call to the ported-in network.

Scenario 3: B is not BSNL CDMA subscriber, B is non-ported

If B is not BSNL CDMA subscriber, MSC will send NPREQ to STP, the called number is B or CC+B,
GT is B or CC+B, TT is 0; and STP will return LRN + B back to MSC.
As B is non-ported and B is other network subscriber, MSC will send IAM with called number
LRN+B to the TAX, and the TAX will relay the call to the destination network

Scenario 4: B is not BSNL CDMA subscriber, B is ported to BSNL network

If B is not BSNL CDMA subscriber, MSC will send NPREQ to STP, the called number is B or CC+B,
GT is B or CC+B, TT is 0; and STP will return LRN + B back to MSC.
As B is ported to BSNL network and B is in another circle, MSC will send IAM with called number
LRN+B to the TAX, and the TAX will relay the call to the BSNL destination circle’s TAX..

Scenario 5: B is not BSNL CDMA subscriber, B is ported to third network

If B is not BSNL CDMA subscriber, MSC will send NPREQ to STP, the called number is B or CC+B,
GT is B or CC+B, TT is 0; and STP will return LRN + B back to MSC.
As B is ported to third network, MSC will send IAM with called number LRN+B to the TAX, and the
TAX will relay the call to the third network

2.3 Incoming Portability call

If MSC receive an IAM with the called number LRN+B, that include two scenario:
1. B is ported into BSNL, and B is in the current circle;
2. B is not ported but B is BSNL current circle subscriber.
In both scenarios, MSC will send LOCREQ to STP, in this LOCREQ, the called number is B, GT is
CC+LRN+B, TT is 0;
STP will forward the LOCREQ to the corresponding HLR, and HLR will return locreq with TLDN
back to MSC.

3 IN REQUIREMENT TO SUPPORT MNP

3.1 ZXIN10 WIN Solutions

1 IN MNP Structure
As per above network architecture we shown LNPDB in each circle, each LNPDB will stores complete
MNP data (all MNP user information in india). NPREQ (CDMA 756 protocol) will check whether
number is ported or not, For NPREQ, LNPDB always return LRN+B number. Currently there are 3

ZTE Confidential Proprietary 5

 Technical Proposal for BSNL CDMA MNP

sets of WIN system, and 24 pairs of STP/LNPDB, WIN will select 3 nearest pairs of STP/NPDB to
connect and query the LRN information. The networking will be:

2 IN MNP Structure
As we know, the MNP is mainly implemented by MSC, regarding SCP, especially for IN
service like prepaid, SMS prepaid etc, the main responsibility of SCP is accurately
calculate the charging fees. The IN will calculate the calling party and called party to
decide the tariff during the call. If MNP is introduced, the only difference IN need to
know the judge if called party is ported or not, then decide it is an on-net or off-net call.
To get the location information, both the MSC and the SCP will query the NPDB, MSC
query for rerouting, SCP query for call tariff decision. The call flow is as follows:
BSNL
MSC STP+NPDB
BSNL SCP BSNL HLR
ORREQ(A, B)
B canbe with or without CC
NPREQ(B)
B canbe with or without CC

npreq(LRN+B) without CC

orreq

NPREQ
(B, without CC)

npreq
(LRN+B, without CC)
LOCREQ
SCCP: CC+LRN+B
MAP: B
locreq
(TLDN)

3 WIN MNP query flow

In this solution, the NPDB in each each zone
With this solution, the modification includes:
¾ SCP-NPDB hardware board signal interaction customization
¾ NPDB need to support both NPREQ and npreq on SS7 message， ri = gt
¾ SCP signal process software part
¾ SCP charging plan logic modification
Since the call signal flow will be modified, there will be 2 more messages in the full
flow, it will enhance the system workload, corresponding with decreasing of system
performance

4 SMSC REQUIREMENT TO SUPPORT

MNP
4.1 BSNL CDMA SMSC Interconnection MNP Plan

Note:

1. As per above network architecture we shown LNPDB in each circle, each LNPDB will stores
complete MNP data (all MNP user information in india). NPREQ (CDMA 756 protocol) will
check whether number is ported or not, For NPREQ, LNPDB always return LRN+B number..
2. For LRN is returned as per the following logic
If B is a BSNL CDMA number then the LRN of BSNL CDMA of that circle is returned
If B is a BSNL GSM number then the LRN of BSNL GSM of that circle is returned
If B is a number belonging to another Operator then the LRN of that Operator for that circle
is returned

3. New STP in each circle will achieve interoperability between each circle. And connected to
other external network,.

4. NPREQ (CDMA 756 protocol) signaling will use real B number with cc as called party for
addressing, SRI-SM (GSM-MAP-Sends-Routing-Info-for-SM, On-net and off-net) signalling,
SMSREQ (CDMA 41D portocol) signalling will use cc + LRN + B, as called party for
addressing. STP identify and routing this signaling to right destination

Note.
1. If B is a GSM user, then SMSC sends SRI-SM to HLR for query routing, and BSNL GCGW directly

If B is other Operator CDMA user, then:
1) SRI-SM sends to peer SMSC (which acts as VLR)Off-net GCGW)
2) Off-net GCGW will query real routing info from HLR.
3) Off-net GCGW will return BSNL GCGW real routing info.

Note:
in the following cases, SSTP have to reject the SRI-SM messages
1) In SRI-SM incoming message, CdPA=CC+DN2, it's illegal according to MNP standard define in
India, so STP have to reject it.
2) In SRI-SM incoming message, CdPA=CC+RN3+DN3, RN3 belongs to other network(none BSNL
CDMA), it also is illegal, sot STP should stop it.
in the following cases, SSTP route wrong messages to SMSC, SMSC will reject the messages.
1)In SRI-SM incoming message, CdPA=CC+RN1+DN1, RN1 belongs to BNSL CDMA nerwork, but
DN1 doesn't belong to BSNL CDMA network or is not ported in number, SMSC will reject this
message.
2)In SRI-SM incoming message, CdPA=CC+RN4+DN4, RN4 belongs to BNSL CDMA nerwork, also
DN4 belongs to BSNL CDMA network, but SSTP didn't route it to correct SMSC according to the
number segement & RN(currently there are 4 SMSC in BSNL CDMA network), SMSC will reject it.
