Definitions

  • the present invention relates to cellular communications systems and, in particular, to the maintaining of multiple subscriber service profiles for a given mobile station operating within a cellular communications system.
  • Description of Related Art In a conventional cellular communications system, a one-to-one relationship is typically maintained between the mobile station and the subscription for that mobile station.
  • the "subscription" refers to the contract entered into by a user (also referred to as the "subscriber") with a cellular service provider.
  • the subscription defines not only to whom billing for cellular services should be charged, but also sets forth the particular types of cellular calling services and features that are to be provided to the subscriber.
  • this data is collected in a subscriber service profile that is stored and maintained in a database.
  • the service profile is linked in that database to an identification of the mobile station for the subscriber.
  • the conventional system also maintains a one-to-one relationship between each mobile station and the service profile that defines the cellular services and features provided to that mobile station.
  • a subscription for cellular service is associated with plural service profiles.
  • a one-to-many relationship is established between a mobile station and its associated subscription/service profiles.
  • Different billing statements for use of the same mobile station are then generated for each service profile to allow for segregated billing of service charges incurred for mobile station use.
  • the home location register (HLR) of the cellular network stores plural service profiles for such subscripted mobile stations. Each of the service profiles is associated with a different billing identification to allow service charges incurred for use of the single mobile station to be properly allocated between the different profiles.
  • the user selects in the mobile station (MS) a particular one of the profiles to be active. At each registration, an identification of this selected service profile is sent to the serving cellular network, and the selected service profile is down- loaded from the home location register. Alternatively, the user selects the active service profile to be down-loaded from the home location register by sending a feature code to the cellular network. Furthermore, selection of the active service profile for down-loading may be made by the network in accordance with a stored schedule maintained by the home location register.
  • Charging on a per service profile basis is made for both in-coming and outgoing calls.
  • appropriate toll tickets are generated by the network. These toll tickets identify not only the subscription for the mobile station involved in the call, but also the particular active one of the plural service profiles for that mobile station to which the service charges should be applied.
  • a billing center may segregate the billing of service charges incurred for mobile station use against each of the plural service profiles.

  • the first and second switching nodes 12(1) and 12(2) may comprise any one of a number of known telecommunications switching devices, including those commonly used and known in the art for providing either digital or analog cellular telephone service to a plurality of mobile stations (MS) 14.
  • MS mobile stations
  • the switching nodes 12 are interconnected with each other for communication via both voice trunks 18 (illustrated with broken lines) and signaling links 16 (illustrated with solid lines) providing a known ISUP (or Rl or R2) type connection.
  • the voice trunks 18 provide voice and data communications paths used to carry subscriber communications between the switching nodes 12.
  • the signaling links 16 carry command signals between the switching nodes 12. These signals may be used, for example, in setting up and tearing down voice and data communications links over the voice trunks 18 and controlling the provision of calling services to the mobile stations 14.
  • the switching nodes 12 are also connected to a home location register
  • the home location register 20 stores information relating to the mobile stations 14 and their subscriptions comprising location information and service profile information. In connection with the present invention, as will be described in more detail below, the home location register 20 in particular stores plural service profiles for at least one of the mobile stations.
  • the switching node 12 is further connected to at least one associated base station controller (BSC) 24 via both a signaling link 26 and a voice trunk 28. Only one base station controller 24 is shown connected to switching node 12(2) in order to simplify the illustration.
  • the voice trunk 28 provides a voice and data communications path used to carry subscriber communications between the second switching node 12(2) and its base station controller 24.
  • the signaling link 26 carries command signals between the node 12 and its associated base station controller 24.
  • the signaling link 26 and trunk 28 are collectively commonly referred to in the art as the "A interface".
  • the base station controller 24 is then connected to a plurality of base stations (BS) 30 which operate to effectuate radio frequency communications with proximately located mobile stations 14 over an air interface 32.
  • the base station controller 24 functions in a well known manner to control this radio frequency communications operation.
  • the switching node 12(1) is further connected to a plurality of base stations (BS) 30 which operate to effectuate radio frequency communications with proximately located mobile stations 14 over the air interface 32.
  • BS base stations
  • the functionality provided by the base station controller 24 is instead provided by the switching node 12(1).
  • FIGURE 1 Although direct communications links (signaling and/or trunk) are illustrated in FIGURE 1, it is understood by those skilled in the art that the links are not necessarily direct between the illustrated nodes, and may instead pass through many other communications nodes (not shown) of the mobile network, and perhaps even utilize other communications networks (such as the public switched telephone network - PSTN). Illustration of the links in a "virtual" manner as shown in FIGURE 1 is therefore by way of simplification of the drawing and the communications relationship between the various included nodes within the network 10.
  • the home location register 20 For each cellular service subscription associated with a served mobile station 14, the home location register 20 stores service profile information 34 relating to cellular services and features subscripted to by the subscriber for that served mobile station. If conventional service is provided to a mobile station 14, the service profile information 34 associated with that mobile station subscription comprises a single service profile 36 per subscription. Conversely, and in accordance with the present invention, plural service profiles 38(n), where n>l, may comprise the service profile information 34 associated with a single mobile station 14. For mobile stations 14 having subscriptions that support plural service profiles 38(n), any one of those plural profiles may be selected, either by the system or by the subscriber (with some restrictions), for use at a specific time or in connection with a specific call.
  • a mobile station 14 When a mobile station 14 makes an initial registration with the system through a particular switching node 12, that switching node requests a subscriber service profile 36 or 38(n) relating to that mobile station, and its corresponding subscription, from the home location register 20.
  • This subscriber service profile 36 or 38(n) information is downloaded from the home location register 20 for storage in a visitor location register (VLR) 40 associated with the switching node 12.
  • VLR visitor location register
  • Service for both in-coming and out-going calls is then provided to the mobile station 14 by the serving switching node 12 in accordance with the downloaded service profile 36 or 38(n).
  • the subscriber enters a service profile selection code into the mobile station 14, and this selection information is conveyed by the serving switching node 12 to the home location register 20 at each registration.
  • the home location register 20 processes the selection information to identify the proper one of the n available service profiles 38(n) for the mobile station 14. This profile is then downloaded to the visitor location register 40.

Abstract

On rompt la relation biunivoque classique entre une station mobile (14) et un profil de service associé (38) pour permettre l'activation sélective de plusieurs profils de service en liaison avec une seule station mobile. Lesdits profils sont enregistrés dans l'enregistreur de localisation nominal (20) du réseau cellulaire (10). On maintient une identification de facturation distincte pour chaque profil de service en vue de facturer séparément les taxes de service liées à l'utilisation de la station mobile. On peut activer l'un des profils de service pour une station mobile, à savoir par exemple : choix par défaut, choix émanant de l'usager, choix par code de fonction, ou choix dicté par un programme. Le profil ainsi activé est téléchargé depuis l'enregistreur de localisation nominal et utilisé en liaison à la fois avec les appels entrants et les appels sortants.
