Learn how to use CAMEL to transfer the Intelligent Networkconcept to the mobile world!
CAMEL (Customized Application for the Mobile network EnhancedLogic) is a standard for Intelligent Networks for mobilecommunications networks. It is currently deployed in allregions of the world, enabling mobile network operators to offerfast and efficient services to their subscribers.
This book is an in-depth and dedicated reference on CAMEL,taking the reader through the history and development ofIntelligent Networks and the essential principles of CAMEL, to thefuture of the technology. The author provides guidance on thevarious standards and specifications, and explains not onlyhow CAMEL works but also why it works this way. Practical hints on the installation of CAMEL in the network aregiven throughout the book.
CAMEL: Intelligent Networks for the GSM, GPRS and UMTSNetwork:
* Offers a comprehensive guide to implementing CAMEL.
* Gives a complete picture, including the network entities &data flows involved.
* Describes and explains the four CAMEL phases and theiraspects.
* Presents an overview of the principles of Intelligent Networks,such as Finite State Machines, Trigger Detection Points, EventDetection Points and dialogue, essential to understandingCAMEL.
* Covers charging and accounting issues, and the impact of CAMELon the charging system in the mobile network.
* Provides practical hints over and above those mentioned in theformal specifications.
This text will be an invaluable resource for intelligent networkservice logic designers, service network designers, networkengineers, and GSM/UMTS network designers and implementers. Advanced students on courses such as 'IntelligentNetworks', 'Value Added Services', and'Service Networks' will also find it an excellent guideto the topic.
