Definitions
- the invention relates to a method and a system for selective control of the network selection in an area covered by at least two mobile communication networks.
- VNO Virtual Network Operator
- HLR Home Register
- MSC mobile switching centers / visitor files
- VNO Virtual Network Operator 6
- HLR home register 7
- the Billing and service control is also carried out in corresponding facilities 8, 9 of the VNO.
- the subscriber can log in to both mobile radio networks, the network selection being controlled by the VNO 6 and the latter
- Mobile radio networks 1, 2 provide the necessary subscriber data.
- the above-mentioned scenario is of particular interest if it has the option to selectively control the network selection for its participants. This option would be the prerequisite for pitting network operators against one another in terms of price.
- the object of the invention is to provide a method and a system for selective control of the network selection in an area covered by at least two mobile communication networks, which is based exclusively on components of the VNO and on open interfaces to the mobile radio networks.
- FIG 1 schematic representation of the principle Link between one VNO and two
- Zone code lists Figure 5: schematic representation of a cell broadcast message received by a terminal and SIM.
- FIG. 2 A possible solution approach of the invention according to FIG. 2 is based on the GSM performance feature regional subscription:
- the coverage area 3 is divided into zones 10-23.
- the network operator assigns a network-specific zone code to zones 10-23.
- HLR 7 of VNO 6 for each participant (or together for all
- Subscriber for each relevant PLMN 1, 2 manages a list with zone codes which describes the area of the respective mobile radio network in which subscriber network access is permitted.
- zone codes which describes the area of the respective mobile radio network in which subscriber network access is permitted.
- access for the mobile radio network 1 is permitted in zones 10, 11, 12, 18, 19, 20, 21 and 23, whereas access for the mobile radio network 2 is permitted in the other zones 13, 14, 15, 16, 17 and 22 is allowed. This is shown schematically in FIG. 4.
- the list relevant for the PLMN 1 or 2 concerned is loaded into the relevant VLR.
- the received list is interpreted on the basis of preconfigured data (assignment of zone code to cells) and a check is made every time the network is accessed to determine whether this is permitted. If a zone code list in HLR 6 is changed, the new list is immediately transferred to the current VLR of the subscriber concerned and used there.
- the VNO 6 requires the assignment of the zone codes to "real" areas for both "home networks" 1, 2.
- the relevant coverage area 3 of the two "home networks” with the required granularity must be covered by zones 10-23.
- the VNO 6 can determine in which area the network access service should be used by which network operator. It is only necessary to ensure that the zones are mutually exclusive when selecting zones 10-23. By reconfiguring the lists, the regional division can be changed, and thus network access performance can be selectively shifted from one network operator to the other.
- FIG. 3 Another possible approach according to FIG. 3 uses the SIM Application Toolkit (SAT) method.
- the SIM is controlled using signals from a cell broadcast channel.
- SAT SIM Application Toolkit
- SAT services and cell broadcast The basis for the dynamic network operator selection is a SAT service in which the SIM is controlled via a cell broadcast channel via download message.
- the VNO rents a nationwide cell broadcast channel (or a sub-channel) from each of the two mobile network operators.
- a service is integrated in the SIM cards that is controlled via the CB channel.
- the cell broadcast service offers the possibility of differentiating information (messages) according to areas (eg telecommunication networks, postal code areas, political regions or geographical regions (defined by longitude and
- a network selection server 24 in the area of the VNO 6 sends regionally limited exchange messages via the cell broadcast centers 25, 26 of the two “home networks” 1 and 2.
- the message is sent in region A of network # 1 if all VNO customers in region A are to use network # 2 in the future.
- CB download message the message is forwarded directly to the SIM card 28 upon receipt in the terminal 27, as shown in FIG. 5.
- the message is sent in region B of network # 2 if all VNO customers in region B are to use network # 1 in the future.
- the application on the SIM card 28 performs the following actions when the change message is received:
- the network or location information of the SIM card 28 is manipulated so that the card "believes” that it is currently on network # 2 (i.e. the new network). For example, by setting the "last registered" field in the
- the previous network can also be explicitly prohibited. This can be done, for example, by a corresponding entry in a “ForbiddenPLMN” list. Any entry of the new network in the ForbiddenPLMN list must be removed. - A network search is initiated by the terminal 27 by resetting the SIM card. Due to the manipulated network or location information on the map 28, this automatically leads to a login into network # 2. Since any calls that may be in progress are triggered by the reset, wait until the call ends before the reset is carried out.
- the CB channel can be encrypted at the application level (between SIM card 28 and network selection server 24). In this way, the authenticity of the change message in the SIM card can be checked.
