 What is Roaming?

 GSM roaming is the ability to use your cellular phone (and number) while
traveling away from your home network. This service allows you to connect
to the GSM network of the location you are visiting without buying another
SIM card.
 Different types of roaming:
National roaming, international roaming or global roaming,
inter-technology roaming, inter-regional roaming, GSM roaming, GPRS
roaming, SMS roaming and MMS roaming

 To provide roaming facility to subscribers,Operator should have roaming

agreement with the other operators in different place.

 SMS MO MT PROCESS
 The SMS-SUBMIT is the MO FSM message(Mobile originating forward short
message) which is between origin MSC and origin SMSC.

• The message received by SMSC is acknowledged to the origin subscriber MS-A by

SMS-SUBMIT REPORT. The MS-A gets indication message as "message sent" from
origin SMSC.

• Origin SMSC gets the required information from HLR regarding destination
MSC/VLR to route the SMS. This information is obtained by SRI SM request(Send
Routing information for short message). HLR responds the required information to
origin SMSC in RESP message.

• After receiving the routing information origin SMSC delivers the message to
respective destination MSC/VLR, which in turn delivers the SMS to MS-B. The same
is indicated in the figure by MT-FSM and MT-FSM ACK.

• Once the SMS is delivered to the MS-B, MS-A gets indication message as
"message delivered" OR "message succeddfully delivered". The same is mentioned
by SMS-STATUS REPORT in the figure.

 Location Cancellation procedure:

 When a roamer moves from one VLR area to another area

within the PLMN where it was initially roaming or switches to
another PLMN, the HPLMN HLR uses the cancel location
procedure to inform the old VLR. On receiving this message,
the old VLR deletes the roamer’s data from its database.
 The MAP cancel location request carries the roamer’s IMSI (for
which this procedure was invoked) as a parameter.

 Operator Determined Barring

 Operator-determined barring (ODB) means that the PLMN operator can

regulate the subscriber’s access to certain GSM services. It is fulfilled
through management of the data in the HLR. ODB applies to all subscriber
services and bearer services except emergency calls. It takes precedence
over the supplementary services described previously. When there is a
conflict between ODB and a supplementary service, the supplementary
service is restricted.
