Abstract
This paper describe the most advanced database management system for the mobile number portability(MNP) in the world The database management system can process the procedure of porting_out and porting_in in 30 minutes and it is the shortest time in the world. The MNP DB management system consists of two functional blocks, one is for the call processing system and the other is for the management of subscriber of MNP. The hardware and processing algorithm are presented in this paper. The DB for call processing is located at each mobile operator and be called local number portability database (L-NPDB). The DB for the management of subscriber of MNP consist of L-NPDB and master database which is located at the Korea telecommunications operators association(KTOA). The hardware database system for MNP consists of the interconnection system of master-NPCDB (NP customer database, M-NPCDB), local-NPCDB, M-NPDB and L-NPDB. The master database is interconnected to the local database through dedicated line and can process any MNP service in real time. The presented MNP structure in this paper has been implemented in Korea and became the most effective and advanced DB management system for MNP in the world.
