Provision of global number portability using CORBA

چکیده
Global Number Portability (GNP) is becoming a key service to increase competition and profit of a service provider for the ever-growing telephone marketplace. In this paper, we propose an architecture for providing GNP by extending the structure of the legacy Local Number Portability (LNP) scheme of Number Portability Administration Center Service Management System (NPAC SMS). The architecture is based on CORBA, so that the proposed system can be well integrated with other management systems. We have defined the interfaces using CORBA IDL to enable NPAC SMS to commu nicate with each other, and designed the procedures for managing routing numbers in multiple LNP domains. CORBA-based GNP management system can enhance the interoperability required for the integration of different LNP management systems.

Local Number Portability (LNP) is an Intelligent Network (IN) service, which provides end users the ability to change local telephone service providers without changing their telephone numbers. LNP is a key service for increasing competition in the local telephone marketplace. To implement LNP, Number Portability Administration Center (NPAC) is needed to manage the LNP databases. Service provid...
متن کاملEvaluating CORBA portability: the case of an object group service
One of the most attractive aspects of the Common Object Request Broker Architecture (CORBA) lies in its open standard nature. Code that is based only on constructs described in the CORBA speciication is portable between Object Request Brokers (ORBs), without depending on any single ORB implementation. However, this portability feature is not completely achieved in real-world applications. This ...

The CORBA has many attractive features such as reusability, portability, and interoperability which are key issues in the integration of heterogeneous and distributed computing system. However, it provides little support for fault tolerance and high availability that can be supported by means of object replication. The existing approaches do not support transparent plug-in of group communicatio...
متن کاملA CORBA-based platform for distributed multimedia applications
As distributed multimedia applications are starting to be offered as services in enterprise and residential cable networks, there is a growing interest in platforms that provide a standard framework for the development and deployment of these applications. Key issues in platform design are service diversity, service portability and interoperability of user terminal equipment. We propose a platf...
متن کاملEvaluation of data distribution techniques in a CORBA-based telerobotic system
Distributed telerobotic applications exploiting Internet-related technologies, such as virtual laboratories and on-line robots, require effective techniques for timely delivery of sensory data to remote clients. In these systems, there is a need to distribute increasing quantities of sensory data to a potentially large number of clients during system operation. In this paper, we describe and ev...
