1 Introduction

This manual describes IDP-related features that provide mechanisms to process calls from prepaid subscribers to ensure correct charging and check credit status, and mechanisms for A-Party blacklist checking and routing of calls based on the Calling Party (A-Party).

1.1 Introduction

This manual describes the following features:

  • Prepaid IDP Query Relay (IDP Relay) - Provides a mechanism to ensure the correct charging for calls from prepaid subscribers in a portability environment.

    • Service Portability - Allows an own-network subscriber to port to a different network technology with the same service provider.

    • S-Port Subscriber Differentiation - Can be used with the Service Portability feature to allow use of ASD digits to provide an additional Routing Number per own-network subscriber. (ASD digits, if provisioned, are used in place of GRN digits).

  • IDP Relay-related features: IDPR Additional Subscriber Data (IDPR ASD) and IDPR Generic Routing Number (GRN) - Provide RTDB lookup to obtain ASD and GRN data for message formatting.

  • IDP A-Party Blacklist - Provides subscriber blacklist checking on the Calling Party (A-Party or CGPN) number in the IDP CAMEL or INAP message, and routing of the call to a predetermined number when the call is flagged as blacklisted.

  • IDP A-Party Routing - Provides routing of the IDP message based on the A-Party (Calling Party) in the message instead of the SCCP CdPA.

  • IDP Service Key Routing - Provides routing of the IDP message based on the Service Key and EventTypeBCSM parameters in the message instead of the SCCP CdPA.

  • IDP Screening for Prepaid - Provides a mechanism to decide, before routing calls to the prepaid engine, whether checking the credit status of prepaid subscribers is required.
