Abstract

! Key intelligence from the network is not only theconversation exchanged between the parties but gatheringthe and characterizing the attributes of the conversation.Location, Handset and called and called identity. Thispresentation will examine the roles of signaling and theperformance characteristics needed in modern mobilenetworks

Rise of Identification by Behaviour

! Behaviour became a key to identity

– Called numbers

– Phone swapping (IMEI changes)

– Location patterns

! Just as mobile services became more complex

– Service usage patterns

! Where can we can we find this "Complex Behaviour"

Demands on Signaling Monitoring

! Parallel the demand on the SMS vendors

! Classic SMSC Vendor

– Improve performance and lower 3rd party costs

– Cheaper Platforms, Disk IO & Signaling, SIGTRAN

– Adopt SMS routing

! SMS Router Vendor

– Very high performance demands:

• 1000 to 20000 MDA/sec solution price below $1000 per MDA/sec

• 2 Mbps to 10 Mbps of Signaling over IP or TDM (64 to 640 links)

• Signaling below $200 MDA/sec

– Maintain price performance over Classic SMSC

! Price per unit Performance is Key




17

Dialogic Components for SMS Monitoring

! Full high performance software range from MAP & CAMEL to M3UA

! Prices in the $10's per MDA/second

! High density card solutions

– ~upto 2000 MDA/second per card on Card (i.e. MAP on theboard)

! Hi-Z on most products

! SIGTRAN monitoring in 2007

! ATM monitoring in 2007

Prepaid Systems Characteristics

! 7 million users 0.5 - 2 Busy Hour Call Attempts per user(BHCA) = 3.5M to 14M BHCA and increasing

– Signaling high as $0.20 but typically $0.05 to $0.10 perBHCA (call models etc vary this)




22

Demands on Signaling Monitoring

! All New Services to available on Prepaid Immediately

! Delivering evermore complex user interaction via Voice,SMS, Video, Web = more BHCA

! Higher monitoring performance - Systems in 10's Million

BHCA+

! Better Price performance




23

Dialogic Components for Prepaid Monitoring

! Complete software available CAP,ISUP,BICC…

! Low Price - High Performance

– From 800,000 to 14 Million BHCA

– A few cents to a few 1/10 cents per BHCA

– Software, Server, Card solutions

– Hi Z

! SIGTRAN Monitoring in 2007

! ATM Monitoring in 2007
