METHOD TO DETERMINE THE JURISDICTION OF CMRS TRAFFIC VIA CELL SITE LOCATION AND RATE CENTER

摘要

A method includes receiving, at a processor, Call Detail Records (CDRs) from a Data Mediation System, in which each CDR includes a called party number (CdPN) associated with a first device, and a Cell Site ID associated with a location of a cell carrying a communication from a second device. Also included are: obtaining, from a first digital table, a first Major Trading Area (MTA) associated with the CdPN; obtaining, from a second digital table, a second MTA associated with the Cell Site ID; and concluding that the first and second devices are communicating in Local Traffic, if the first MTA is the same as the second MTA.;The method may also conclude that the first and second devices are communicating in Long Distance Traffic, if the first MTA and second MTA are not the same.
