If it has it sends a message back along line or route 46 to VLR 42 to VMSC 40 to permit the registration of roaming 30R. After registration, a call can be placed to the roaming device terminal 3OR or from the roaming device terminal 3OR to the PSTN network in its home group at 48 or to another cell terminal through routing path 48 between the SSMC and the VMSC.

  • the sequence of numbers could continue in an alternate embodiment to include additional roaming sites or areas where the subscriber might be visiting in his travels on a sequential basis and within certain time frames.

  • the time out feature may alternatively include a start time to allow the subscriber to use its home services prior to the start time without terminating the roaming feature .
  • the MSC determines if the subscriber is located within its authorized area. Depending on the service, referring back to FIGURE 1, this could be any cell within any of MSCs 20, 22, 24, and 26 of area 12, it could be defined as one cell such as cell 28 of MSC 26, or it could be determined to be one or more zones such as zone 36 comprising cells 30, 32, and 34 of MSC 24. In any event, this information would be stored in the user's subscriber profile of the HLR and would be checked by the MSC. If the subscriber was placing his call from an unauthorized area or he was not in his authorized area then the call would be switched to the operator at 54. If the caller calls from the authorized area then the switch checks at step 56 the PIN number.
  • the call is sent to the operator at 54. If the PIN is correct, then the switch checks at step 58 if the roaming ID number is correct. This ensures a correct roaming number is identified. If the roaming identification is incorrect, then the call is switched to the operator at 54. If the roaming identification is correct, then the next step 60 occurs. If a time period has been defined at 60, then a remove the roam ID command at 62 is placed into the switch. At the end of the time out, the roam identification number is removed from the subscriber's HLR category thus barring any subsequent calls from this roaming area. Next, at 64, the subscriber's profile in the HLR is updated to include the roam site identification number.
  • step 66 the switch checks to determine if more than one roam ID site had been identified. If not this process ends. If yes, the process loops back to step 58. So far, the authorization of the cell site identification has been described. It should be understood that it is not necessary to put a time out feature in step 60, however, such a feature has the advantage of limiting the roaming privilege to the time the subscriber roams.
  • the MSC determines if the subscriber is part of its home subscribers, or if it is part of a roaming subscriber at step 70. If the subscriber is registering within its home the area checks at step 72 to see if the roam site ID is active in the subscriber's profile. If the roam site is active, then at step 74 the area removes the roam site ID from the subscriber's profile since the subscriber is no longer roaming.
  • step 70 If at step 70 it is determined the subscriber is roaming, then at step 78 messages between the VLR42 (FIG 2) and HLR 36 are transmitted to see if the roaming feature is active. If the answer to this is no, then at step 80 registration is barred and the call is transferred to the operator. If the roaming feature is active, then a determination is made at step 82 as to whether the roam ID stored in the HLR corresponds to the roam area ID of the area registering the roaming subscriber. If the roam ID'S do not correspond then the call or registration is barred and transferred to the operator. If the roam ID'S correspond then registration of the roaming subscriber is completed at 84.
  • FIGURE 5 there is shown an HLR subscribers profile for subscriber "X” .
  • the HLR 36 is shown. This subscriber profile would be stored within the data base provided within the HLR 36.
  • Two categories .AA and .TSA are provided in the subscribers user profile for subscriber "X" . It should be understood that these are two of several categories that may be provided in the subscribers user profile that have not been shown in FIGURE 5. For example these other profiles may include system name greeting, call waiting, IN services.
  • the AA represents the authorized areas as defined in the subscriber profile. For the purposes of this illustrated example, the authorized area has been shown to included all the switches MSC 20, MSC 22, MSC 24, and MSC 26 of FIGURE 1.

  • the present invention provides a mechanism for allowing a subscriber who is normally barred in a foreign jurisdiction to temporarily roam in pre-identified roaming areas.

However, as soon as the temporary roaming privilege is terminated, the fraudulent calls are not permitted. Furthermore, the present invention prohibits the use of the MIN and ESN numbers outside of the temporary roaming area at all times. This prevents fraudulent roaming or use of the subscriber's terminal MIN and ESN numbers when the subscriber located in its home area or another pre-identified roaming area.

Abstract

La présente invention concerne un procédé et un système de réduction de la fraude dans un système de télécommunications cellulaire (10) dans lequel les abonnés accèdent au système dans la zone de commutation d'origine (12) et l'accès leur est refusé dans une zone de déplacement (40). Grâce à un procédé d'authentification, l'abonné est en mesure d'identifier des sites de déplacement potentiels où il a l'intention de se trouver temporairement. L'abonné identifie tout d'abord des sites de déplacement temporaire (14 et 16), puis il s'y rend. Quand il les quitte, ses privilèges de déplacement y prennent fin. Cela réduit l'utilisation frauduleuse des numéros MIN-ESN de l'abonné quand il ne se trouve plus dans cette zone de cellule de déplacement, ou l'utilisation frauduleuse de ses numéros d'identification depuis d'autres sites de déplacement du système cellulaire.
