SYNOPSIS
The research topic namely “A Study on Network routing method in Mobile Number Portability” is a study to understand the hottest telecommunication advancement recently implemented successfully in India on Jan 20’ 2011 . This Study will give us the idea how the Mobile Number Portability technology is working in India.
Mobile number portability enables mobile telephone users to retain their mobile telephone numbers when changing from one network operator to another.
MNP already exists in many developing and developed countries across the world. But it recently implemented in India where total number of mobile subscribers cross 45 crore mark at the end of August 2009. The move to introduce the MNP comes as the country's mobile subscriber base is expanding fast, sometimes having an impact on network quality.
The first mile stone came when The Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) issued draft Regulations to facilitate Mobile Number Portability (MNP) implementation in India and submitted recommendations to DoT on 8th March 2006. Further on May 6 2009, DOT issued detailed instructions to all access providers/NLD/ILD licensees regarding provisioning of MNP. Finally, on Jan 20’ 2011, MNP successfully implemented in India.
Number Portability is applicable only to mobile users not to fixed/land line numbers.
This Study gives the attempt to understand the concepts of Mobile Number Portability technology.
There are two central clearing houses for MNP database covering North-West zones (Syniverse) and South-East zone (Telecordia). These CCH will download the MNP database in operators NPDB on daily basis.
