METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR PROVIDING CAMEL SERVICES TO A HOME NETWORK'S OUTBOUND ROAMER WITHOUT NEED FOR CAMEL SUPPORT OR AGREEMENT

摘要

The present invention provides a method for enabling support of IN services for an HPMN' s outbound roamer. The method provides a client-server architecture that enables exchange of messages between a client coupled to the outbound roamer's mobile device and a gateway coupled to the HPMN network. The method includes enabling a client on the outbound roamer's mobile device after successful registration of the outbound roamer with a VPMN and based on exchange of one or more parameters, encapsulated over one or more bearers, with a gateway. Moreover, the HPMN and the VPMN do not support either exchange of IN messages or an IN agreement. The method further includes facilitating communication between the client and an HPMN service node or an HPMN SCP, via the gateway that facilitates communication by translating the encapsulated IN messages in a protocol compatible with either the service node or the SCP. The method further includes managing the IN services using the gateway and either the service node or the SCP, by updating the outbound roamer's one or more traffic control conditions at the client.
