What is Number Portability?
• Portability of Mobile Numbers between all GSM
and CDMA operators within the same Service
Area.
• A Mobile subscriber can change his/her operator
within the same Service Area without changing
his/her number.
• No Portability beyond Service Area.
• Portability between GSM and CDMA network of
same operator in same service area possible.

will be defined in the NPDB with HLR (PC & SSN) information. Will be
defined in the Single DN Table of the NPDB.
Ported Out – Number Ported out to another network from BSNL . These
numbers will be defined in the NPDB with RN information . Will be defined
in the Single DN Table of the NPDB.
Foreign Number – Other Operator subscriber not known to be ported. These
numbers will be defined in the NPDB with RN information. Will be defined

DOT Guidelines
• In first Phase MNP is to be implemented in 4
metros and all 5 “A” category LSAs – 9 LSAs in
total
• In second phase – “B” and “C” category Circles
• Deadline: 31.03.2010
What is to be done in land Line switches and why?
Presently calls are being routed to concerned operator based on dialed number
Post MNP ; to route the Mobile calls to correct operator switches has to determine the present
operator of the dialed number(B)
To know the present operator of the dialed number(RN) , switches need to be connected with
external database i.e. LPDB
After getting the RN, switch routes the call to concerned operator based on RN+B Information
.

Routing and Charging Scenario in Present ( Pre MNP) Scenario
•Routing and Charging is done in Exchanges based on Dialed
Digits ( B Party Number)
• For Routing the Fixed to Mobile calls ROUTE CODES are
created in Xges
•Charging is also based on dialed digits.
•By analyzing the Dialed Digits ( B Party Number) in exchanges it
is possible to route the code to corresponding MSC/ Landline
Xge( for further routing to corresponding MSC)
•First 2 or 5 Digits (2 Digits Access Code + 3 Digit MSC code) of a
mobile number determines the Mobile operator of the number.
Routing and Charging Scenario in Post MNP Scenario
Issues:
•In exchanges it would not be possible to route the Fixed to
Mobile call to corresponding MSC by analyzing the Dialed Digits
( B Party Number) , because now any Mobile number can
belong to any Operator in the Service Area.
•Mobile number no longer determines the Mobile operator of
the number.
•As per DOT guidelines determination of correct Terminating
Mobile Operator is the responsibility of the Originating
Operator.
What is required to solve the problem:
Issues:
1. Getting information for determining present operator of the
Mobile Number
2. Using this information to determine correct Routing and
Charging in the exchanges.
What is required to solve the problem:
Solution: Getting the extra ROUTING information
• This extra information will be provided by the Route Number
given by the DOT to each operator (one for GSM network and
one for CDMA network).
•RN for each Mobile Number will be stored in one central
Database (NPDB).
•Associated RN of each Mobile Number will determine the
present operator of the number.
•This RN changes when a mobile number is ported to other
Mobile Operator.
What is required to solve the problem-contd:
Solution: Getting the extra information
• These NPDB will be integrated with SSTP
•SSTP will intercept IAM (Initial Address Message) passing
through it and will scan the B Party Number.
•SSTP will get the appropriate RN for the B party number
(retrieved from IAM) from integrated NPDB
•SSTP will prefix the RN with B party number in the IAM and
send it to next destination.
What is required to solve the problem-contd:
Solution: Using the extra information
• RN codes need to be created in exchanges.
• CCS 7 messages related to Fixed to Mobile Calls need to pass
through SSTP network, at least once, before call is handed over
to corresponding MSCs.
•Determination of corresponding MSC ,where call can be
routed, is based on RN.

Issues in CDR Billing Project
Post MNP, RN Information will be available only in L-II /L-I TAX s not in
Local Exchanges.
For implementing Deferential charging in Retail Billing RN information
must be available in CDRs of Local Exchanges.
One of the method is to take Fixed to Mobile calls CDRs from L-II TAX and
use it for retail billing along with the CDRs generated at Local Exchanges
The above method requires major changes in software and Hardware of
Retail Billing Servers of CDR project.
Solution Finalized:
One of the alternative method is to use Charge Band Number captured in
CDRs of Local Exchanges, for determining the Intra and Inter operator call
As the CHB number captured in the CDRs of Local Exchanges will be different
in case tariff for intra BSNL and inter operator calls is different
Though CHB No information is captured by all NT switches but not by C-DOT
switches
One Patch for capturing the CHB No in CDRs of C-DOT exchanges has been
got developed
This patch is to be loaded in all C-DOT exchanges before they come under
CDR Billing Project
For SSAs already under CRD project, necessary instructions are to be issued
by IT Cell, CO/ITPC.

Monitoring of Implementation and to ensure completion
of work as per schedule

IMPLEMENTATION OF MNP IN BSNL WIRE LINE NETWORK
•
All PSTN switches in all Circles are also required to be complaint with MNP
regime for Fixed to Mobile Calls.
•
In first Phase MNP is to be implemented in 4 metros and all 5 “A” category LSAs – 9 LSAs
in total.
In second phase – “B” and “C” category Circles.
Deadline: 31.03.2010.
“IAM Relay” method is used for implementing MNP in BSNL.
The Scope of MNP implementation in Wire Line PSTN network covers following network
elements/platforms:
a) Wire Line Switches for handling Fixed to Mobile Calls.
b) Wire Line ILD Switches for handling Fixed to Mobile incoming ISD
calls.
c) Wire Line IN platform for handling Fixed to Mobile call for various IN
Services e.g. VCC,FPH,FLPP etc.
•

NOTE ON IAM RELAY METHOD
• In IAM Relay method SSTP must intercept all IAMs for fixed to mobile calls
originating from local exchanges and prefix the RN number with B party
number in the IAM before sending the same to Level-I/II Taxs/Tandems.
• This RN+B number information used by Level I/II Taxs/Tandems to route
the call to correct service provider.
• Necessary creation of routing and charging information is required to be
done at Level I/II Taxs.
• This method requires connecting all the local exchanges with SSTP.
• Since availability of limited ports in SSTP network and large number of
local exchanges in BSNL networks, hence it has been decided only few
new technology local exchanges
For ISD Incoming Calls to be terminated on Mobile
Network.
• All ILD Gateways route their traffic to respective L1 Tax's via SSTP only.
• IAM of such calls will be relayed by SSTP after prefixing the appropriate
RN+B number.
• Calls with RN+B will be analyzed by L1 Tax's and will be routed to
respective MSCs.
For handling Fixed to Mobile Calls for various IN
Services e.g. VCC, FPH, FLPP etc.
•
For handling prepaid IN calls like VCC, FLPP, ACC ,FLPP etc,SSP functionality of only local
exchanges can be used so that only IAM is intercepted before calls enter into the Lev
II/Tandems having POI connectivity.
•
Hence all field units should ensure local exchanges connecting to SSTP are upgraded for SSP
functionality.
•
Implementing MNP in Postpaid IN Services such as FPH, UAN, VPN etc, mapped number in
SCP is to be defined with RN+B (in case translated number is mobile).
•
In few cases (where all local switches are CDOT technology) which can’t be used for SSP
functionality and only SSP functionality of LEV II tax is available then all intra circle Fixed to
Mobile-IN Prepaid traffic may be routed to respective Lev I Tax.
•
Necessary re-dimensioning of Poi's at Lev I Tax to be taken care off.
VCC(VIRTUAL CALLING CARD)
Origination customer has to be BSNL / MTNL only.
Termination can be any operator customer.
Customer dials 1802-425.
SCP will play announcement to dial the card no.
Once the 15 digit card no is entered and verified , announcement is played
to dial the destination No.
Destination no dialed is 9449828818 which is a ported no in NPDB.

In this scenario Customer dials Service access code 1860425+ 4 digit code
(Code can be 0000 to 4999 any number). This 4 digit code is mapped with a
mobile number with RN prefixed, Eg - 55559449828818.
When customer dials the access code in return SCP returns C+RN+DN
