Abstract

See full text

Apparatus for steering of roaming users to preferred operators at a roaming network uses operator agreements with mobile operators, as well as usage predictions and historical usage patterns, to calculate an optimized steering plan that minimizes the charges to the home operator. The operator agreements are typically step-like in nature and the plan is constructed by iterating through different allocations of the estimated usage between the various mobile operators. The iterations may include various roaming services such as SMS and data as well as mobile originated and mobile terminated calls. The allocation finally selected as the optimal plan is then output to a steering of roaming unit which identifies registration attempts by actual roaming users and steers said registration attempts to fulfill the quotas in the plan.
