Definitions
- the present invention relates to a procedure for managing a subscriber database maintained in a telephone exchange on the basis of changes in subscriber data, as defined in the preamble of claim 1.
- the management of subscriber data in a telephone exchange includes the management of all data relating to the subscriber. Subscriber data are main- tained in a subscriber database. Subscriber data are used in conjunction with invoicing, dialling and other functions associated with the telephone exchange and setup of calls by subscribers.
- Decimal position range refers to an area in this file.
- decimal position numbers were only used for local interfaces.
- the subscriber module always has a constant number of interface positions; therefore, a constant-sized range of decimal positions is reserved for a local interface when a module is being created. The size of the range cannot be changed. Thus, it can be assumed that each module has one continuous decimal position range reserved for it.
- a directory in which a reference to the beginning of the decimal position range of the module is stored when the module is being created.
- the beginning of the decimal position range is obtained from the directory and the file is read from that point onward until a record belonging to another module is encountered.
- V5 interfaces (V5.1 and V5.2) are defined in the ETSI (European Telecommunications and Standards Institute) standards of the ETS 300 324 and ETS 300 347 series. V5 interfaces enable subscribers belonging to a physically separate access network to be connected to a telephone exchange using a stan- dard interface.
- a dynamic concentrator interface V5.2 consistent with the ETS 300 347-1 and 347-2 standards consists of one or more (1 -'16) PCM (Pulse Code Modulation) cables.
- One PCM cable comprises 32 channels, each of which with a transfer rate of 64 kbit/s, i.e. 2048 kbit/s in all.
- the V5.2 interface supports analogue telephones as used in the public telephone network, digital, such as ISDN (Integrated Services Digital Network) basic and system subscriptions as well as other analogue or digital terminal equipment based on semi-fixed connections.
- a static multiplexer interface consistent with the ETS 3000 324-1 and 324-2 standards consists of one 2048 kbit/s PCM cable.
- the V5.1 interface supports the same subscriber types as the V5.2 interface.
- a V5 interface may have an arbitrary number of decimal position ranges of different sizes reserved for it. Between the ranges there may be a vacant range, a range reserved for another V5 interface or a range reserved for a lo- cai interface or all of these.
- the directory may contain one reference, several references or no refer- ences, depending on the number of decimal position ranges existing for the interface and on whether there are free or reserved records between them. If there are only free records between the ranges belonging to the same V5 interface, the latter range is not included in the directory because the file browsing structure of the TDL language used for processing the data in the database skips free records.
- the problem is on what basis the directory is to be updated when ranges are reserved or released in the database.
- the object of the present invention is to eliminate the aforesaid problem.
- a specific object of the present invention is to present a new type of pro- cedure for updating the directory in a telephone exchange when decimal position ranges are reserved or released in the database.
- a decimal position range is reserved for local subscribers in con- junction with the creation of a subscriber module. The range is released when the module is deleted.
- the decimal position range or ranges for a V5 interface are reserved and released by a separate command or in conjunction with the creation or deletion of the sub- scriber. Further, in the procedure of the invention, data indicating the locations of the decimal position ranges are updated in a directory.
- the directory is updated on the basis of the content of the range preceding and/or the range following the decimal position range to be reserved or released.
- a decimal position range may comprise one or more decimal positions.
- the inference process relating to the updating of the directory data is as follows. If the range to be reserved or a part of it has already been reserved for another V5 or local interface, no reservation can be made and therefore no directory operation is needed. On the other hand, if the range to be reserved or a part of has already been reserved for the same V5 interface as the range currently to be reserved, the directory operation is very easy. The range previously reserved is removed from the directory if it is present in it, and the range to be reserved is added to the directory. No other directory operations are needed.
- the range to be reserved is completely free before the reservation.
- the reserved range preceding the range to be reserved is examined to establish whether t belongs to the same V5 interface, a different V5 interface or a local interface. If the range belongs to the same V5 interface, then the range to be reserved need not be added to the directory. If the range belongs to a local interface or another V5 ln- terface, then the range to be reserved has to be added to the directory.
- the range following next after the reserved range may belong to the same V5 interface, a different V5 interface or a local interface. If this next range belongs to a local interface, no further directory operations are needed. If the next range belongs to the same V5 interface as the reserved range and the range preceding the reserved range did not belong to the same V5 interface as the reserved range, then the range must be deleted from the directory. If the next range belongs to a different V5 interface than the reserved range but to the same V5 interface as the range preceding the reserved range, then the range must be added to the directory.
- the properties of the TDL language used for the data processing comprise automatic deletion of the directory reference relating to a range being released.
- decimal position ranges of a V5 interface it is possible to release one, a few or all of the decimal position ranges of a V5 interface at a time.
- a decimal position range of a V5 interface first the range preceding the range to be released is examined, whereupon records are released as long as they belong to the V5 interface in question.
- a directory operation is carried out in accordance with the principles described above. After that, the procedure continues reading the file until the next record belonging to the V5 interface to be released is encountered, and that record is released. The procedure continues re- leasing records until it encounters a record belonging to a different interface.
- the procedure now naturally knows what the preceding range contains, so the directory operation is easy to carry out. This process is continued until a final limit set by the initiator of the process or the end of the file is encountered.
- the directory operation is considerably simpler.
- the subscriber module of a local interface can only have one continuous range, which is reserved when the module is cre- ated and which must not be changed. Therefore, no reservation can be made if the range to be reserved already contains reserved records. A reserved range is always added to the directory.
- decimal position range reserved for the subscriber module of a local interface When a decimal position range reserved for the subscriber module of a local interface is being released, it must be verified whether the released range was located between two ranges belonging to the same V5 interface. If so, then the reference to the range following the released range must be deleted from the directory.
- the present invention has the advantage that it allows the reservation of decimal positions for V5 subscribers. Moreover, the procedure of the invention is more flexible in respect of the size, location and number of decimal position ranges to be reserved.
- Fig. la - le the content of the database of the invention is presented in diagrammatic form.
- the principle is that in each figure the assembly of objects in the database or a part of it is represented by an area delimited by a rectangle, inside which are depicted an area representing the range E preceding a range to be reserved, an area representing the range S following the range to be reserved and an area repre- senting the range V to be reserved.
- Fig. la all the ranges belong to different interfaces, for instance so that range E belongs to a local interface, S to a first V5 interface and V to a second V5 interface.
- the di- rectory contains references to range E and range S, and a reference to range V has to be added to the directory because the range preceding it belongs to a different interface. If range V is released, the corresponding directory reference is deleted automatically and no directory operation is needed.
- the range V to be reserved and the next range S belong to the same V5 interface.
- the preceding range E belongs to a different interface, e.g. another V5 interface.
- the directory contains a reference to range E and when range
- the preceding range E and the next range S belong to the same interface, e.g. a first V5 interface, whereas the range V to be reserved belongs to a different interface, e.g. another V5 interface.
- the directory contains a reference to the preceding range, but no reference to the next range S.
- a corresponding reference is added to the directory.
- a reference corresponding to the next range S has to be added to the file.
- the reference corresponding to the next range S has to be deleted from the directory because the reference corresponding to the preceding range refers to the next range S as well .
