CA 2351480

The invention provides systems and methods that operate to provide seamless roaming to a prepaid subscriber in as many markets as possible. To that end, the systems of the invention include a location register (LR) that can determine the type, or class, of serving market with which the roaming subscriber is registering. Once the class of the serving market is identified, the LR can modify a subscriber's profile as a function of this class, and return to the serving market a profile that will allow the serving market to employ the prepaid platform that services the subscriber and thereby provide services to the roaming subscriber. In optional embodiments, the LR may also respond to location requests from the prepaid platform. The location information may be employed by the subscriber to determine a rate structure for a call, and thereby decrement the subscriber's balance as a function of, at least in part, the location of the roaming subscriber.

Cette invention se rapporte à des systèmes et à des procédés qui servent à assurer une itinérance sans discontinuité à un abonné à des services prépayés dans des marchés aussi nombreux que possible. A cet effet, ces systèmes utilisent un enregistreur de localisation (LR) qui peut déterminer le type, ou la classe, du marché serveur auquel est rattaché l'abonné itinérant. Une fois identifiée la classe de ce marché serveur, l'enregistreur de localisation LR peut modifier le profil de l'abonné en fonction de cette classe, et renvoyer au marché serveur un profil qui va permettre au marché serveur d'utiliser la plate-forme prépayée qui dessert l'abonné et fournir ainsi des services à l'abonné itinérant. Dans des modes de réalisation optionnels, l'enregistreur de localisation peut également répondre à des demandes de localisation provenant de la plate-forme prépayée. Ces informations de localisation peuvent être utilisées par l'abonné pour déterminer une structure de tarif pour un appel et pour diminuer ainsi le solde de l'abonné en fonction, au moins partiellement, de la localisation de l'abonné itinérant.
