Overview
1.1
Huawei OCS for TATA Overview
In the traditional telecom networks, telecom service subscribers can be broadly divided into two
categories according to the payment mode - prepaid and postpaid customer. The prepaid services are
provided through the Intelligent Network (IN), and the postpaid services are implemented through the
BSS/OSS. But with the rapid development of the telecom industry, the service type is evolving from
plain voice service to integrated communications including information service, content service,
transaction, entertainment, and so on. With all these different types of services have different
requirements on payment, the subscribers require payment attributes be defined for different telecom
services and can be changed at any time.
This requirement to have flexible payment attribute becomes more relevant and appropriate in the
modern society, as the individuals play more and more complex roles. When the person consumes
telecom services in different roles, the payment attributes may be different. E.g., there could be one
account owned by a family in which children in the family may have prepaid amount to spend and
parents may have postpaid payment mode. So the TTSL needs to provide unified operation and
management capabilities for both the prepaid and postpaid customers. Otherwise, it is very difficult to
change the payment attributes of the customers or to implement flexible multi-service marketing mix,
which may result in a high operating cost severely affecting the operating margin.
Also, with the popularization of data services and 3G services, the service providers are offering more
and more value added services. With this the consumption of contents is soaring rapidly and the value
chain involved in the service offering is changing frequently. In this context, the TTSL requires a system
that can implement real-time, accurate and comprehensive charging on the telecom service
consumption of the subscribers to minimize the defaulting risk. At the same time it is important for the
telecom TTSL to offer real-time experience of transparent consumption" to the subscriber and thus
enabling avoidance of fraud and over consumption. Huawei has got a right solution to address all these
converging billing requirements through end-2-end solution - TELLIN OCS.
1.2
Huawei OCS Brief
TELLIN OCS is an integrated value-added service platform intended for future networks (including
2.5G, 3G; CDMA IS-95, CDMA2000, NGN and IMS), and it has made breakthroughs in its supported
network capabilities, flexibility and openness in service development, as well as flexibility in system
composition. It is able to provide
value-added services for
many networks such as
GSM/GPRS/WCDMA, CDMA, PSTN, and NGN, supporting voice, multimedia and abundant data
TATA CWIN Project
Page4, Total84
service capabilities, the service is convergence. The capabilities of TELLIN OCS have been developed
far beyond the concept of traditional IN. The following figure gives a concept overview:
Figure 1-1 TELLIN OCS Overview scheme
With the different architecture of traditional IN, charging point becomes really an independent point,
OCS charging part (CBP) is the convergence point deal with all voice and data service, the charging
factors have been subtract and charging rule can be configurable on-line which make the site
developing be the reality, while in tradition IN, voice and data service charging usually scattered on
different points, SCP, MMS, WAPGW, etc, which make the convergence pack almost impossible.
Huawei TELLIN OCS has open system architecture. It complies with the international specifications
such as 3GPP Online Charging System (OCS), and can easily integrate with 3rd party system such as
CRM/SCP/Mediation. It also supports real-time interface with the external financing system, payment
system and recharging system, and meets the need of service expansion of telecom operators.
1.2.1
An Open and Standard platform
Huawei TELLIN OCS supports multiple standard protocols such as EJB, Web Service and SOAP, and
supports multiple flexible interface modes such as synchronous/asynchronous, real-time or timing,
batch/piece interfaces. It also designed in the similar customer oriented data structure of CRM system,
and can integrate with the Customer Care (CC) system seamlessly.
TATA CWIN Project
Page5, Total84
The OCS supports the real-time charging interfaces to 3rd party application servers based on Diameter
protocol. Through the Diameter protocol, it can extend the features of the parameter easily when
charging require, and affect the billing features through the rule engine.
Figure 1-2 Open and Standard platform of TELLIN OCS
TELLIN OCS enables the TTSL's business and operation network to have the unified operation &
management capabilities with highly reliable and available full-service real-time charging capabilities.
Through TELLIN OCS, TTSL can provide customer-driven and unified service operation as well as
personalized service level agreements (SLA). TTSL can also implement integrated marketing on the
services according to different customer groups to increase the APRU.

System Architecture
Figure 1-3 Telling OCS System architecture
SCP
In the TELLIN OCS solution, the call control function is separated from the charging service, and
the charging is done by an independent Convergent Billing Point (CBP). The SCP only reserves
the call access and control function.
For voice services, after receiving the IDP/ORREQ message from the MSC/SSP, the SCP
performs simple authentication, which includes call screening and call rights control analysis, e.g.
in case of roaming, it analyzes whether the subscriber has the roaming rights; in case of an
international toll call, it analyzes whether the subscriber has the right of dialing international
numbers. After simple authentication, the SCP sends a charging request to the CBP, and instructs
MSC/SSP whether to continue or to release the call according to the result returned by the CBP.
After receiving the ODISCONNECT of the MSC/SSP, the SCP sends an expense deduction
request to the CBP, and repeats this process till the termination of the conversation.
CBP
In the TELLIN OCS solution, the CBP implements rating, charging and accounting functions and
supports both online charging and offline charging which the traditional IN can not support.
TATA CWIN Project
Page8, Total84
For real-time charging, after receiving the charging & authentication request from the SCP or data
service entities, the CBP performs budget and account reservation for the conversation duration,
and indicates the conversation duration to the SCP or other. After receiving the charge deduction
request from the SCP, the CBP deducts the expense in real time.
For the offline charging, the CBP can perform rating and expense deduction for the collected
original conversation records of the subscriber, and can perform re-rating or direct expense
deduction for the CDRs which have been rated by other system. Offline charging is a very useful
function for some instance, for example, of CBP is down or need short time stop running, then the
CDR is generate by SCP, after CBP back to normal state, the CDR of SCP will be processed.
At the bill cycle date of the subscriber, the CBP will deduct the package expense of the subscriber,
and gift away the free resources in the suite.
When the CBP detect the status of the subscriber account has change, and need the provisioning
system to make some actions (such as bring the specific services from bar to provision or from
provision to bar), then the CBP can send a command (called work order) to the Customer-Care
system or other system, and the Customer-Care or other system will provision or bar the service
according to the work order. For example, a subscriber applies for the Calling Line Identification
Presentation (CLIP) service and he/she should pay the monthly fee. But when the CBP fail to
deduct the monthly fee, then the CBP will send a work order to CC to stop the CLIP service, and
the CC will send a command to the HLR to disable the CLIP service of the subscriber.
The CBP also provides the function of generating CDR and inputting it into database for future
query.
l
BMP
In the TELLIN OCS solution, the BMP implements service operation management, and provide
system management, product management, customer management & customer service,
resource management.
The BMP performs analysis and abstraction for the services in the voice service, data service and
operation support fields. Based on the system architecture of the NGOSS, it sets a data model
based on the SID core concept, sets a management function model based on the service
blueprint of eTOM, and implements multi-service integration management of the BMP.
1) Convergence management of data service and voice service
The data service and the voice service adopt a uniform service definition method, product
definition method, product subscription method, product presentation method, and subscriber
management method, then abstract unified management logic, and integrate them into a
complete telecom product system.
TATA CWIN Project
Page9, Total84
By abstracting the common service characteristics of the data services and voice services, the
BMP develops common service management components to adapt the difference between data
service and voice service, BMP can be defined attributes dynamically.
2) Integration management of postpaid service and prepaid service.
The product manages unified management logics and tariff definition methods to integrate
postpaid service and prepaid service.
In the BMP, the postpaid product varies from the prepaid product only in payment attribute of
product. Different or identical accounts can be defined for the postpaid product and the prepaid
product.
BMP can implement conversion between the postpaid service and the prepaid service to meet the
need of different operators.
The core components of the BMP are described below:
Point Of Sales (POS): The POS combines the functions of supporting the business hall provided
in the BMP. Namely, the business hall in the BMP performs various management access
functions via the web client side, e.g., customer management and customer service functions.
Point Of Management (POM): The POM combines the system management access functions of
the BMP.
Convergent Billing Configuration Point (CBCP): The CBCP acts as the charging configuration of
the CBP separately, as highlights of flexible configuration of the charging capability. This function
is available only to the specially trained charging configuration engineer of the operator and
Huawei on-site support engineer.
System management: System management includes the BMP, CBP and SCP management.
Customer Care: Includes customer management and customer service. Customer management
includes personal customer information management and blacklist management; the customer
services include: Customer authentication, creating/canceling accounts (by batches or by piece),
subscribing/canceling commodities, maintaining customer-user-account information, recharging
and paying, managing customer password, comprehensive query (querying all information of the
customer at a time, including basic information and extended information of the customer,
subscriber information under the customer, customer payment account information, and providing
one-stop" consulting service for the customer).

Charging management: Managing the tariff of the CBP. Both the charging data, (such as pricing
plans, tariff templates, rating rules, and tariffs) and the charging process data (such as the rules of
interface adapter, authorization, rating, and accounting) can be customized. The changed data will
be uploaded into a memory database of the CBP, which does rating and charging real time.

Network Architecture & Interfaces
2.1.1
Network Architecture
The Huawei recommend OCS network architecture is as follow:
TATA CWIN Project
Page13, Total84
Figure 2-1 G-C-OCS network architecture
According to the RFP requests, there are 3 years of construction, each year 20 million subscribers. The
hardware would be deployed at two geographical locations in mated pair architecture.
Take first year as example, the equipments BMP, SCP and CBP will be distributed at Delhi and
Mumbai. Each site processes the traffic of 10 million active subscribers. In case of one site fails,
another site will take over the whole 20 million traffics, as follow Fig.
Figure 2-2 Active Active Request
The network architecture include 3 levels:

Voice & data access level which is mainly composed by MSC/SSP, AAA, GGSN, PDSN, VAS entities;
Online charging system level which is mainly composed by SCP, CBP;
Network management level which is composed of BMP, SMAP, NMS, CRM/CC, etc.
The GSM MSC/SSP and CDMA MSC/SSP are accessed to OCS by USAU, the module in USAU can
be configured into GSM or CDMA, and so the USAU can support both G & C signals.
The data entities such as SMS, MMS, WAPGW, is accessed to OCS through FEP, because different
data protocols of different data entities should be consolidated to a stand protocol by FEP, or else, all
data entities can connect to CBE directly by standard diameter protocols.
UVC is setup for all the subscribers, and OCS also will connect to the current UVC.
TATA CWIN Project
Page14, Total84
OCS connects to NMS through I2000 network management system. Current CRM/CC connects to
BMP through web service interface for service provision and customer care. The character of current
billing system will act as credit control for postpaid and reckoning management system.
Year 2, Year 3, is almost the same as Year 1.
2.1.2
OCS SCP, CBP site deployment
Take phase I as example, the site deployment is as follow:
Figure 2-3 PHASE 1 network architecture
In above Figure, each site have one BMP which is composed of 27 pairs ATAE blade, one SCP which
is composed of 18 pairs ATAE blade and one CBP which is composed of 43 pairs ATAE blade. SCP,
CBP pair ATAE blade adopts Hot-standby which means the processing call will not be lost during
main-standby switching. For geography disaster tolerance, Huawei adopts 1+1 Active-Active mode,
which means the capacity of each site is 20 million with 10 million active and 10 million standby, in case
one site fails, the other will take over the whole 20 million traffic.
TATA CWIN Project
Page15, Total84

For data service, If data entities can not support diameter interface:
One solution is to interconnect with FEP directly, if the data entities support real time charging, it can
connect to FEP directly; mediation only process in non real time mode, by collect CDR and generate
message send to FEP for charging.
Another solution is all the interface will by pass the mediation, mediation affords real time charging and
non real time charging mode, FEP only interface with mediation.
The interfaces between FEP and different data entities include mediation need more discussion.
If data entities can support diameter:
Above interface can be connect to CBP with diameter directly.
Content charging request:
TATA CWIN Project
Page18, Total84
For content charging, also has two solution, one is the content should be managed and rated by
current system, such as mediation, and then the rated fee will be send to OCS for deducting the money.
Another solution is the content should be managed by the current system, such as mediation, and then
the content ID to OCS, OCS will rate the content and deduct the money.
2.2
Backup and Redundancy

The request of DR is as follow Fig shown:
Figure 2-4 Active Active Request
The architecture of network is as Figure 2-3. I2000 is to monitor all the entities for and give the warning
information, the DR initialize can be automatic from I2000, or the engineer can log on to the DR node to
initialize by manual. The DR node includes CRM, BMP, SCP, CBP, Data entities.
Normally, when disaster happens, it may include redundancy node switch and all link (SS7, TCP/IP)
switching. Switching may have two ways, automatic and by manual. Because SCP and CBP adopt
Diameter messages to communicate, is should be in the same place, so we do not recommend SCP
and CBP switch respectively, because SCP should not send diameter message to CBP which is locate
thousands away for real time charging, the link may not stable.
2.2.2
Automatically switching and manual switching
Automatically switching means redundancy node and link (SS7, TCP/IP) will be switched automatically.
Product such as USAU, SCP, CBP fails down may cause STP switch the link automatically, then DR
TATA CWIN Project
Page19, Total84
node such as SCP will monitor the redundancy NO7 link has been activated and initiate the DR
process automatically. As follow fig shown:
Figure 2-5 Normal DR Process
Also, I2000 can analyze the warning information and determine the disaster has happened, and then it
will send command automatically to DR node to initiate the DR process.
Manual switching means redundancy node and link (SS7, TCP/IP) be switched by manual. I2000 will
warning the disaster has happens. Then engineer will send command to DR node to initialize the DR
process and switch the link between product and redundancy by manual. Usually link switch is
operated after DR Pre-initiate finished. As follow fig shown:
TATA CWIN Project
Page20, Total84
Figure 2-6 DR Process by manual
Also, the engineer can log on the redundancy node to initiate the redundancy process by manual; this
can be done in case of I2000 failure.
2.2.3
SCP, CBP DR Switching
As follows, SCP, CBP DR switching can be realized automatically:
TATA CWIN Project
Page21, Total84
Figure 2-7 SCP, CBP DR Switching
Dual Switch: in case of active node (SCP, CBP) is down, the dual switch happened automatically.
Disaster Detect: in case of dual switch failure, USAU will block the link with STP. STP detects the
disaster happens and blocks the signal point of product node and initiates the redundancy signal
point to redundancy node. BMP of product deduct the float IP of product SCP, CBP failure, then
switch the TCP/IP link to redundancy SCP, CBP automatically.
DR Pre-Initiate: the redundancy SCP will capture the active of redundancy signal point and
initiate DR Pre-initiate automatically, and SCP will send a diameter message to CBP, then CBP
will execute the DR Pre-initiate automatically.
Take Over: After the DR Pre-initiate finished, the redundancy node will take over the traffic.
Also, the switching can by manual.
2.2.4
BMP switching
As follows, BMP switching can be realized automatically or by manual:
TATA CWIN Project
Page22, Total84
Figure 2-8 BMP DR Switching
Dual Switch: in case of active node (BMP) is down, the dual switch will happened automatically.
Disaster Detect: in case of dual switch failure, I2000 detect the disaster happens and can send
command automatically or by manual to redundancy BMP.
DR Pre-Initiate: The redundancy BMP accepts the command and initiates DR Pre-initiate
process.
Link switch: The product SCP and CBP will check the float IP of product BMP failure, and switch
the TCP/IP link to redundancy BMP automatically. As for CRM link switch have two solutions, one
is switch the link by manual. And another is by configure two inner IP address in router in active
and standby mode, the active inner IP address connect to product BMP, the standby inner IP
address connect to redundancy BMP, in case of the product BMP fails, the router will switch the
link to standby IP, so the connection of CRM to redundancy automatically. Because the router
may be sensitive may cause some error switching, so we suggest CRM switch by manual.
Traffic take Over: After the DR Pre-initiate finished, the redundancy BMP will take over the traffic.
TATA CWIN Project

2.2.5
UVC DR solution
Figure 2-9 UVC DR
The UVC disaster tolerance adopts 1+1 Active-Standby mode. The switch is similar to BMP.
2.2.6
SCP/ CBP mate board adopt hot standby
SCP and CBP are all in 1+1 mated-pair architecture for each node, in this way, one ATAE board is the
active, the other is the standby. When the active fails, the standby will take over the load automatically.
Main mate board Service guard is used to monitor the running state of the dual mate, and ensures the
time consistency between active and standby board. TELLINs own developed hot standby technology
ensures that the call instance in active node and standby node are synchronized and all the calls in
progressing will not be lost when switch over.
Following is a detail illustration of SCP hot standby architecture:
TATA CWIN Project
Page24, Total84
Figure 2-10 Local SDU 1+1 Backup Switch Scenario
During normal situation, the active node and the standby node are both running the application. All
incoming messages from external entities, including SS7 messages, database manipulation, FEP
messages are replicated from active node to standby node, which ensures that the Active & Standby
node get the same input. According to the computer conception model, if there is an identical input,
there is always an identical output. Hence, the state and call instance data will be kept in consistency in
both active and standby node.
Active and standby nodes both generate Response, but only the active nodes Response will be send
out.
Figure 2-11 SCP and CBP dual-network connection
SCP and CBP adopt dual-network connection, and SCP mate switch or CBP mate switch does not
effect the call processing. Local mate board switchover does not affect the interfaces to external
entities. Voice, data, SMP management, report and CDR query will go smoothly just as before.
2.2.7
SCP & CBP 1+1 Active-Active DR
Geographical redundancy improves the reliability of both SCP and CBP besides local backup. Both
SCP and CBP have their associative backup in another city. The data in SCP and CBP is
TATA CWIN Project
Page25, Total84
synchronized in one direction, from the active to the redundancy node, to guarantee the security of
data.
Huawei adopt 1+1 Active-Active mode, which means to set up two redundancy node for two product
nodes. As follow fig shown:
Figure 2-12 ATAE Active-Active Solution
This solution has 2 levels of data synchronization.
i)
Memory DB level;
ii)
Physical DB level 2.
As per the memory DB level synchronization, the active ATAE board will contain both the product
data and the redundancy data. Huaweis Mem synchronization will be applied for 2 different sites.
TATA CWIN Project
Page26, Total84

l
Physical DB level synchronization uses the VVR data sync method for data sync between two sites.
The product and the redundant data will be present in the same disk array but in different volume.
For the mirroring of data base with in a site Informix CDR will be used for data sync between the
active and backup database.
In this approach, Active board will be configured for 50 % performance and the rest 50 % will be
kept reserved for the disaster recovery case.
Disaster Recovery Mechanism, In case of Disaster, the redundancy volume will be activated so that
the Active board is enabled for 100% performance.(20million)
2.2.8
Data Synchronization for Active-Active DR
The data synchronization in BMP, SCP, and CBP include two parts, memory database synchronization
realized by specially designed technology as the red line shown, and psychical database
synchronization which we will adopt VERITAS synchronization technology.
For memory data synchronization, is as follows:
Figure 2-13 ATAE memory synchorize
TATA CWIN Project
Page27, Total84
The product CBP memory data is synchronized to redundancy node real time, the execution can be
invoked by pair active or standby board. The redundancy board accepts the synchronized data, it can
be refreshed into memory board.
For physical data synchronization, the mechanism of VARITAS data synchronization is as follow fig.

Signaling Switchover Scheme
Signaling networking for geographical redundant system is as below:
TATA CWIN Project
Page28, Total84
STP A
Active
STP B
Redundancy
Figure 2-15 Figure 5 Networking for Signaling
When redundant equipment takes over the service, all signals which used to the active equipment will
be forwarded to the redundant equipment. This is so-called signaling switchover. Two signaling
switchover solutions are introduced in the following parts.
Signal Redundancy Scheme
1Signaling switchover scheme

In the standby signaling point scheme, the SCCP signaling management function is used to complete
the switchover. It is necessary to set the standby signaling point of the active equipment as the
signaling point of the standby equipment.
The SCCP will automatically transfer the signaling service to the standby signaling point when it
detects that the signaling point state of the active equipment is "Inaccessible". That is, all messages will
be sent to the DPC of the standby equipment, thus realizing the signaling switchover.
2Cooperation needed:
Below lists the necessary jobs for signal redundancy solution:
1Links connect redundant equipments to STP.
2New signal codes are needed for redundant equipments. Therefore these redundant equipments
could share the same GT with the active equipments
3Signaling data is to be configured in STP and adjust the backup data regarding to the sub system.
For example, before redundant configuration:

NULL
When the active equipment fails, STP will switch the signals to the redundant equipments automatically.
If manual switchover is preferred, all links to redundant equipment should be blocked. Then unblock
these links in case of catastrophe.
3Features of this solution:
1Both automatic and manual switchovers are support
2The active/redundant equipments connect to the same STP
3The active/redundant equipments support GT and DPC addressing mode.
GT Translation Scheme
1 Switchover principle
GT Translation Scheme: Signaling switchover via modification of GT translation data in STP. When GT
addressing is available in the whole signaling network, this switchover scheme is adopted.
Figure 2-16 GT Translate
1DPC+GT translation method

STP A has the data of state-inside signal point SPa, but has not the data of state-outside signal point
SPb. The GT translation type of SPb should be set as DPC+GT in STP A, and in this case, DPC is the
signal point code of STP B. Therefore signals from STP A to SP B will be forwarded to STP B.
2DPC translation method
The GT translation type of SPb in STP B is set as DPC, therefore all signals from STP B to SPb will
reach SPb via the direct route between STP B and SPb.
TATA CWIN Project
Page30, Total84
2 Cooperation Needed
1Link connects redundant equipment to HSTP A.
2New signal codes are needed for redundant equipments. Therefore these redundant equipments
could share the same GT with the active equipments
3n case of switchover, replace the GT of active equipment with the GT of redundant equipment in
HSTP A mannually.
ST
STP B

GT: 8613900126
SPC: 06FF01
GT: 8613900126
SPC: 06FF02
Figure 2-17 Redundant signaling Scheme
Usually 8613900126, the GT in HSTP A, will be translated as the DPC of the active equipment:
06FF01. All signals from HSTP A to 8613900126 will be forwarded to the active equipments.
In case of switchover, translation target of 8613900126 in HSTP A should be changed to the DPC of
redundant equipment: 06FF02. All signals from HSTP A to 8613900126 will be forwarded to the
redundant equipment.
3 Features of this scheme:
1Only manual switchover for fault-tolerance is supported.
2The active/redundant equipments could connect to different STPs.
3 GT addressing mode is the unique address mode for both the active and the redundant
equipments.
2.2.10
Signaling Switchover Suggestion
For single signal point networking, STP will automatically switch over in case of the failure of the active
equipment.
TATA CWIN Project
Page31, Total84
For the multiple signal points networking, in case of a single signal point failure, automatic switchover
will possibly result in a inconsistency where some signals are forwarded to the redundant equipment
and some signals are forwarded to the active equipments.
Auto-switchover happens only after links of one signal point are all blocked. However, some troubles,
such as database problem, along with the active links, will not cause the auto-switchover.
Therefore, manual-switchover is recommended against the auto-switchover. After maintenance staff
finds the trouble and goes through the procedure of trouble-analysis and determination, the calls could
be switched over manually to the redundant system.
2.2.11
Bandwidth Request
The bandwidth include memory synchronization, physical synchronization calculation two level:
SCP: only physical by VVR, each CAPS need 0.1k byte data need to be synchronized.
CBP: both memory and physical,
For physical only 5% CAPS need to synchronize the data, each CAPS 4k.
For memory each CAPS need to synchronize 650 byte data.
BMP: only physical by VVR, each CAPS need to synchronize 4k data.
UVC: only physical by VVR. Each CAPS need to synchronize 4k data
SCP bandwidth = 0.1K * SCP CAPS/Usage Ratio * 8/1024/1024
CBP memory bandwidth = 650 byte * CBP CAPS * 8 / Usage Ratio
CBP physical bandwidth = 4k * 5% * SCP CAPS *8 /1024/1024
BMP physical bandwidth = 4k * BMP CAPS * 8/1024/1024
UVC physical bandwidth = 4k * UVC CAPS *8/1024/1024
Adopt fiber cable, the Usage Ratio can be 70%
So the total data = SCP + CBP + BMP + UVC = 304 M bits/s.
If adopt duplex link, may need 150 M bits bandwidth.
Please refer to BOQ part for detail.

2.4
Postpaid & prepaid convergent
In Huawei OCS system, all Products Available to All Subscribers, Prepaid and postpaid can provision
same service features.
Figure 2-18 Prepaid & post use the same service
In this project, postpaid usually be charged real time through credit control.
TATA CWIN Project
Page47, Total84
Figure 2-19 Post paid limit control
Which means, every month, the billing system will calculate the credit limit for postpaid subscribers,
and synchronize the limit to OCS system, OCS will monitor and charge the subscriber real time, in
case of the limit is used up, the service is stopped.
For voice call, short message and multimedia message, OCS can charge from prepaid or postpaid
accounts of the hybrid subscriber, according to the different called party or time when that service
occurs. For GPRS data service, OCS can charge from prepaid or postpaid accounts of the hybrid
subscriber, according to the different time.
In case of appointed account exhausts or reach credit limit, OCS can switch to another account until all
valid accounts has been used up. For example, operator assigned prepaid account for off-peak time
voice call, but that account has been used up all balance, system can automatically switch to the
postpaid account.
TATA CWIN Project
Page48, Total84
2.5
USSD Call back
For postpaid, system will grant the ability for both calling and called to the subscriber who is going
abroad, he/she can make and receive calls in the foreign country, the carrier collects his/her bills from
the foreign carrier and charge for him/her.
When subscriber originates a call abroad, VMSC in VPLMN can not trigger OCS service to the home
SCP, unless it supports CAMEL protocol and the visiting carrier agrees to trigger service via CAMEL
(For this situation, please refer to the second solution for international roaming). This bring a risk for
overdraft when the subscriber roaming abroad. To solve this problem, carrier can grant only ability for
called to the subscriber who is going abroad, when he/she want to originate a call abroad, he/she can
send a USSD request to the home network, then a special equipment originate a call to the roaming
subscriber and the called party, after both of them answer the call, system merges the two calls
together. This is called USSD call back.
& Notes:
When subscriber is abroad, the MT flow can be triggered in VMSC of the domestic calling party or
GMSC of the international calling party. In order to distinguish the normal MT flow and the MT flow
originate by SSP, an UCB prefix will be added to the calling party number.
The following figure illustrates the flow of call setup procedure when the subscriber is roaming abroad.
Figure 2-20 UCB international roaming flow
TATA CWIN Project
Page49, Total84
(1) When subscriber A roams to a foreign country and wants to make call to subscriber B, he/she can
compose a USSD message and send.
(2) The USSD request will be sent to his/her HLR in the HPLMN via international GMSC. The HLR will
forward the USSD request to the SCP.
(3) SCP originates a call to subscriber A by send ICA and related messages to the SSP.
(4) SSP setup the call to subscriber A by send IAI and related messages to VMSC (A) via international
GMSC.
(5) Subscriber answers the call.
(6) SSP reports the event of answer to SCP via ERB message.
(7) SCP originates another call to subscriber B by send ICA and related messages to the SSP.
(8) SSP setup the call to subscriber B by send IAI and related messages to VMSC (B).
(9) After subscriber B answers the call, SCP and SSP will merge the two calls into one so that
subscriber A and B can talk to each other.
For example, a subscriber from China roams to Thailand, he/she want make a call to 01026754684 in
Beijing:
(1) he/she dials *123*01026754684#.
(2) After a few seconds, he/she will receive a call from 99901026754684.
(3) Once he/she answers this incoming call, the system will originate a call to the called party
01026754684, after the callee answers, system merges the two calls.
& Notes:
Assume UCB Service Code is 123 and Prefix of UCB is 999.
The subscriber does not need to mention the country code when he/she dials a domestic number.
If the subscriber wants to make a call to a number of Thailand 026745678, he/she can dial
*123*0066026745678#.
& Notes:
The subscriber must mention the country code 0066 in this situation.
& Notes:
TATA CWIN Project
Page50, Total84
The carrier must equip a special Huawei SSP for this solution, Huawei SCP will communicate with
Huawei SSP using an internal protocol.
Impacts to supplementary services

Supplementary service - CLIR, COLP, COLR will be disabled during the call back procedure. Please
refer to Line Identification for more details
Minimum Balance Threshold for UCB Call
Carrier can set a threshold to the balance of subscriber, only when the subscriber has enough balance,
he/she can originate a UCB call.
Suppress Duplicate UCB Requests
After the roaming subscriber send out USSD request, the system needs several seconds to set up the
call to the subscriber. During this period, the subscriber may send duplicate requests which can make
the system set up other calls to the subscriber and it will waste the resource of the system. The TELLIN
OCS service can suppress duplicate UCB requests: from the system receives the first UCB request to
the call connected or released, succeed UCB request from that subscriber will be rejected.
If a subscriber sends another UCB request before the previous one has been connected, system will
send a notification message and discard the request.

Management Point). The UVC is mainly used to store voucher cards related data, and handle the
recharge request from subscriber.
The UVC is based on high reliability design:
It works in dual active-standby cluster system
It adopts large-scale RDBMS (e.g., Informix) and Huawei-developed memory database

technology to provide high efficiency of accessing the database.
Its hardware and software are designed with redundancy
Providing automatic fault detection and self-healing
TATA CWIN Project
Page55, Total84
The CMP is mainly in charge of the centralized management over the creation, loading-todatabase, deletion and query of the recharge card data file.
In addition, CMP can manage recharge service data, which includes the management of
corresponding relationship between prefix of the recharge card and UVC, recharge card region,
etc. The configuration of CMP hardware is PC desktop.
2.9.6
FEP
FEP (Front End Processor) is also an interface entity between the IN system and 3rd party
systems such as banks, SMSC (Short Message Service Center), MDSP (Mobile Data Service
Platform), etc. to accomplish the conversion between different protocols so as to extend the
functions of the IN system.
2.9.7
URP
The U-SYS Universal Resource Platform (URP8100 for short) is used for narrowband media
resources. It is an intelligent peripheral of media resources in next generation network.
The URP uses industry-leading software and hardware architecture, featuring large capacity,
high integration, rich media resources, and strong service support. It also enjoys powerful
networking ability by supporting PSTN/PLMN and NGN.
2.9.8
IWEB (Intelligent Report System)
The report system can be divided into three parts, the report client, the report server, and
database proxy server. These three parts coordinately access the service database opened by
the service system.
Features of Report System
Report Management: The report management is similar to the file management, and it aims at
managing the report template file, report file and relevant data file.
Data Source Management: The administrator needs to write the architecture information of the
service database to be dealt into the data source, and he will design the report template file
based on these data source definitions. Meanwhile, the data source administrator needs to
configure the data source information on the basis of the database proxy server installation of
the system, and allocate the database proxy servers employed by each data source in the
access.
TATA CWIN Project
Page56, Total84
User Management: The administrator can create or modify users or user groups for the report
system, and maintain the user relationship of the system, which is described in detail in the
following.
Advantages of Intelligent Report System
Separating the report development from the service and platform development to increase the
speed of report development.
Adopting the independent system, so the report development has no relation to service and
platform.
Having the powerful authority management and system security is high.
Supporting the template and customization.
Being convenient to access for user and operator.
2.9.9
RBI (Recorded Bill Interface)
Huawei RBI is responsible for sending the bills generated by the SCP to the billing center. The
RBI system uses dual network adapter cards. One connects to the SCP via LAN, and the other
connects to the billing center to prohibit the billing center from directly logging in to the SCP.
The RBI collects bills from SCP using FTP and sends the bills to the billing center using FTAM or
FTP. There are several RBI in the network for Operator, depending on the amount of SCP. The
RBI hardware configuration is PC desktop or minicomputer.
2.9.10
I2000 (Operations and Maintenance System)
Being content with the Operations and Maintenance requirement, Huawei proposes an Intelligent
Network (IN) NMS (Network Management System) solution iManager I2000 special for Operator,
which involves I2000 servers and I2000 clients both for central part and remote part covering the
whole IN. I2000 will manage the Intelligent Network (IN) in an integrated way.
I2000 provides the management at the NE (Network Element) level as well as partially the
network level. The main functions include: configuration management, performance management,
topology management, fault management, security management and system management.
Some public NM tools are also available, such as data mending, database backup, statistics task
management, integrated management modules, etc.
TATA CWIN Project
Page57, Total84
There is no special requirement for the connection mode between I2000 and the superior NMS,
and either E1 or DCN (including DDN, ISDN, PSPDN and X.25) can be adopted. I2000 provides
alarm information, performance information, and configuration information to superior NMS via
SNMP interface.
I2000 can implement the centralized operation and maintenance over the network elements such
as SCP, SMP, USAU, etc.
I2000 offers the SNMP interface for the superior NMS, meeting the telecom carriers
requirements on building the integrated NMS.
2.10
Customer Oriented Convergent Charging Engine
2.10.1
Powerful Convergent Rating Engine
Rating-Charging-Billing model
Rating: According to the subscription relationship of the subscriber, obtain the rating factors
subscribed for the subscriber based on the selected tariff rule. If more than one tariff rule
applies, select the rule of the highest priority level; if they are of the same priority level, select
the most preferential one, or select the one subscribed last.
Charging: Perform different charging schemes according to the application scenes

(authentication, rating). For example, perform budget when performing authentication; and
perform fee calculation when performing rating.
Billing: According to the fee items, one charging event may generate multiple fee items. For
example: A subscriber roams to another city and make an international call, the fee items may
include airtime fee, roaming fee and international toll fee.

Multiple Charging Factors

TELLIN OCS supports many types of charging factors involved in charging when it
can acquire, and supports dynamic extension of charging factors. The charging
factors include the following types:
Charging event attribute

Charging event attributes can be calling party number, called party number, calling place, called place,
time, location, APN, duration, traffic, content type, and count based on content or transaction.
Service bearer attribute
Service bearer attributes can be quality of Service (QoS), bandwidth, and access type.
Subscriber attributes
Subscriber attributes can be subscriber type, birthday, home place, subscriber status, validity period,
brand, occupation, and company.
Account attributes
Account attributes can be account type, bill cycle, account balance status, and credit limit.
Accumulated amount
The relevant accumulated amounts also can be charging factors. For example, the accumulated
amount of toll call fee of the subscriber is used as charging factor: when the accumulated toll call fee of
the subscriber reaches $80, the rate will be off by 20% for subsequent toll call fees.
All-around Fee Management Capabilities

TELLIN OCS provides these fee management capabilities: fee budget, fee reservation, fee
calculation. When a subscriber raises a service request, firstly the system will do the fee
budget according to the balance. Secondly, the system will reserve the specific amount of fee
to ensure the subscriber can pay for it. Finally, when the system is aware of service completion,
it will calculate the fee the subscriber should pay, and do the fee deduction.
Powerful Fee Calculation

When calculating the fees, TELLIN OCS supports the following methods of calculating
services:
Calculate multiple different fees for one charging event.
TATA CWIN Project
Page60, Total84
Support multiple types of measurement and multiple units of measurement. The types of measurement
can be measuring by duration, volume (traffic) and number of times. The units of measurement can be
second, minute, hour, KB, MB, number of times, number of pages. When calculating the same fee for
the same event, different segments can adopt different measurement types and different units of
measurement. For example, the first segment is charged by duration, and the second segment is
charged by traffic.
Calculation methods can be linear calculation, reference calculation, fixed value, best calculation, and
accumulated calculation. Reference calculation means calculating one type of fee by reference to
another fee. Best calculation means multiple tariffs are configured for one type of fee, and the best
value will apply. Accumulated calculation means one fee is a result of accumulation of other fees.
The calculation precision can be round-s (e.g., the number of 2.4 is converted to 2 as an integer, the
number of 2.5 is converted to 3 as an integer), round-down (e.g., the number of 2.9 is converted to 2 as
an integer) and round-up (e.g., 2.1 is converted to 3 as an integer).
Support real-time applying the accumulated amount.
Independently Service Control

TELLIN OCS enables subscribers to independently enjoy different services. For example, a
subscriber joins a group. The subscriber can enjoy the groups service as a group member or
enjoy his/here personalized service as an individual. To control communication expense, an
enterprise may set an expense limit for each member. If the accumulated expense of the
enterprises service for a member exceeds the limit, TELLIN OCS will not allow this member to
use this group service again, but allows him to use personal services.
Multi-Accounts Function
The logic architecture of TELLIN OCS implements the relationship between customer,
subscriber, product and account.
One subscriber may have multiple accounts

A subscribers different consumption fees may pay by different accounts. TELLIN OCS can support 4
types of dedicated accounts including Promotion Monetary Account, Preferential Tariff Account,
Dedicated Monetary Account and Free Resource Account, and the number of each type account is
configurable.
TATA CWIN Project
Page61, Total84
Figure 2-25 One Subscriber Uses Multiple Accounts
Different services can use different accounts

Different services of one subscriber use different accounts to pay for his/her different services. E.g. one
subscriber may an own voice-call-account, a GPRS-service-account and a SMS-account.
Figure 2-26 Different Services Use Different Accounts
Shared account
TATA CWIN Project
Page62, Total84
Multiple subscribers use the same account. Some or all of the fee items of each subscriber can use a
shared account. Alternatively, multiple customers, multiple products and multiple services share the
same account for payment.
The shared account provides many functions, e.g., if the operator needs to monitor the total fee of
multiple accounts, the operator can set all fees of multiple subscribers to share one account; if the
operator needs to monitor the total fee of a type of service, the operator can set fees of a service type
to use this shared account.
Different payment modes use different accounts
In order to facilitate the subscriber to pay, different accounts can be set for different payment modes.
E.g. Payment mode of an account can be configured as prepaid or postpaid.
Real-time Credit Control

When a postpaid subscriber uses high-value services, he/she may be changed to
be a prepaid subscriber for those services, and then a certain credit balance is
granted to him. To some high-end prepaid subscribers, the carrier may grant
him/her a certain credit balance. The credit balance granted may get from the
outside system, such as CRM or an individual credit evaluation system. The realtime credit control of TELLIN OCS is a process of rating, charging and billing
according to the granted credit, and then exercising real-time control according to
the credit balance. The real-time credit control is characterized by:
The credit balance may be money, duration or traffic.

When deducting the fee, the account balance is used first. After the account balance is used up, the
credit balance will be utilized.
After the credit balance is used up, the system will handle according to the boundary processing rule.
The boundary processing rule needs to be predefined, e.g., notifying the balance deficiency message
to the user.
Real-time Balance Management

When a subscriber enjoys a telecom service, TELLIN OCS will reserve resources in
real time. But when the subscriber uses up the balance, rewards and free resources,
TELLIN OCS may not allow the subscriber to continue to enjoy the service. TELLIN
OCS has the following balance management functions:
1)
Reservation
When receiving a call start request, TELLIN OCS reserves certain balance and
freezes it. The reservation function has the following features:
TATA CWIN Project
Page63, Total84
If the balance of an account is insufficient, reserve other accounts resources according to account
priority.
An account balance can be reserved for multiple subscribers.
Balances of different accounts can be reserved for different services used by a subscriber.
2)
Return
TELLIN OCS enables returning reserved resource to account. Reasons for
replenishment may be:
Normal service rollback

Service session timeout
Un-used up reserved resources
3)
Fee deduction
After a subscriber succeeds to use a service, the reserved amount is deducted from
the account. The fee deduction function has the following features:
If the balance of an account is insufficient, service fees are deducted from other accounts according to
priority.
Fees of different services used by a subscriber are deducted from different accounts. For example, toll
call fees are deducted from the corporation account and local call fees from personal account.
Fees of multiple subscribers may be deducted from an account. For example, fees of group members
are deducted from a group account.
Fees of a subscriber can be deducted from multiple accounts according to certain strategy. For
example, a subscriber has cash account and free resource account. In this case, fees can be deducted
from the free resource account first, and then from the cash account after the use amount is used up.
Recharging
TELLIN OCS supports many recharging methods, such as: Recharge with voucher
card via IVR/SMS/USSD, recharge by cash in the business hall, recharge by bank,
ATM, USSD and SMS.
And recharging contents can be money, duration, traffic and pieces.
2.10.3
Package and Promotion

Package Function
TATA CWIN Project
Page64, Total84
To attract more customers and enhance customers loyalty, Huawei TELLIN OCS
can provide abundance packages (bundle). To let the package to be more flexible,
TELLIN OCS package is defined with package parameters and package rule.
Through different parameters, it can generate different package tariff strategies. The
package rules of TELLIN OCS can set dynamically through the rule engine. All
service parameters can be introduced into the rules.
Figure 2-27 Service combinations to subscriber class
Deposit Promotion Function

TELLIN OCS can provide multiple deposit promotion ways to the subscriber. For
example, when the subscriber subscribe a service after paying a $30 as a deposit,
then the deposit can be rewarded proportionally in three months or six months as
the carrier defined. The deposit promotion rule can be configured dynamically
through the rule engine. Subscriber attributes and customer attributes can be
introduced to the rules dynamically.
Accumulation Promotion Function

The subscriber consumption accumulation methods may include: accumulated
airtime fee, accumulated toll fee, accumulated roaming fee, accumulated
international call fee, accumulated duration of local call, accumulated duration of toll
TATA CWIN Project
Page65, Total84
call, accumulated duration of roaming call, accumulated duration of international call,

and accumulated GPRS Flux.
First Call Activation Promotion

After first call activation, the subscriber can get an extra bonus. The bonus could be
an extra premium, additional validity period, free talk time or free short messages.
After the subscriber bought a TELLIN OCS SIM card and use it to make the first call,
system can automatically activate the corresponding account, at the same time,
he/she will get extra bonus for the activation.
Bonus in the Promotion Period

The carrier can launch a promotion, in a specified period, any subscriber uses a
certain type of voucher card to recharge during this period can get an extra bonus.
The bonus could be an extra premium, additional validity period, free talk time or
free short messages.
Here is some example for the promotion of recharge:
Bonus for Large Amount Recharge

In order to encourage the subscribers use large face value voucher card to recharge, the operator can
set Subscribers Recharge Amount to a large amount in the promotion definition.
Bonus for Special Recharge Mode
In order to encourage the subscribers use a certain recharge mode such as USSD, the operator can
set Recharge Type to USSD Recharge in the promotion definition. Thereby, the subscribers will be
glad to recharge by USSD, it can save lots of voice resources during the IVR recharge.
Bonus for Special Period
The operator can set Start Time and End Time to Christmas Day in the promotion definition. When the
subscriber recharges his account with an ordinary voucher during this period, he/she can get extra
bonus.
