Abstract
Abstract The invention relates to a telecommunication system and a method for matching the numbering schemes of telecommunication systems. The telecommunication system comprises a transmission network comprising at least one mobile exchange (MSC1, MSC2) associated with a subsystem (BUC, BU1-BU6), the calls of subscribers (MT1-MT6) in the subsystem being routed through the transmission network and the mobile exchange. A numbering scheme of the subsystem comprises an X-bit binary subscriber identity code (PID) and a numbering scheme of the transmission network comprises a Y-decimal subscriber identity code (MSIN). In the transmission network the subscriber (MT1-MT6) of the subsystem is assigned a Y-decimal identity code comprising a decimal number derived from the X-bit binary identity code of the subscriber and having no more than Y-1 decimals. At least one system identification decimal is introduced into the obtained decimal number at a predetermined position to indicate that the identity code belongs to the subscriber (MT1-MT6) of the subsystem.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 11
Claim 1
Independent Claim
136 words
A method for matching the numbering scheme of a telecommunication system with the numbering scheme of another telecommunication system at an interface between the systems, the numbering scheme of the first telecommunication system comprising an X-bit binary subscriber/equipment specific identity code, and the numbering scheme of the second telecommunication system comprising a Y-decimal subscriber/equipment specific identity code, characterized in that in the second telecommunication system the subscriber/equipment of the first telecommunication system is assigned a Y-decimal identity code obtained by converting the X-bit binary identity code of the subscriber/equipment into a decimal number comprising no more than Y-1 decimals, and by introducing one or more system identification decimals into the obtained decimal number at a predetermined position, the system identification decimal(s) indicating that the subscriber/equipment identity code belongs to the subscriber/equipment of the first telecommunication system.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
136 words
A method for matching the numbering scheme of a telecommunication system with the numbering scheme of another telecommunication system at an interface between the systems, the numbering scheme of the first telecommunication system comprising an X-bit binary subscriber/equipment specific identity code, and the numbering scheme of the second telecommunication system comprising a Y-decimal subscriber/equipment specific identity code, characterized in that in the second telecommunication system the subscriber/equipment of the first telecommunication system is assigned a Y-decimal identity code obtained by converting the X-bit binary identity code of the subscriber/equipment into a decimal number comprising no more than Y-1 decimals, and by introducing one or more system identification decimals into the obtained decimal number at a predetermined position, the system identification decimal(s) indicating that the subscriber/equipment identity code belongs to the subscriber/equipment of the first telecommunication system.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
27 words
A method according to claim 1, characterized in that a network code and/or country code is utilized in the subscriber/equipment identity code used in the second system.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
44 words
A method according to claim 1 or 2, characterized in that Y=10, X=27, and that the 27-bit binary identity code is converted into a 9-number decimal number and one system identification decimal is introduced as the most significant decimal to obtain a 10-decimal number.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
153 words
A telecommunication system comprising a transmission network utilizing a first numbering scheme and comprising at least one mobile exchange (MSC1, MSC2) connected to a subsystem (BUC, BU1-BU6) utilizing a different numbering scheme, the calls of subscribers (MT1-MT6) in the subsystem being routed through the transmission network and said mobile exchange, characterized in that the numbering scheme of the subsystem comprises an X-bit binary subscriber/equipment identity code (PID), and the numbering scheme of the transmission network comprises a Y-decimal subscriber/equipment identity code (MSIN); and that in the transmission network the subsystem subscriber/equipment is assigned a Y-decimal identity code comprising a decimal number derived from the X-bit binary identity code of the subscriber/equipment and including no more than Y-1 numbers, at least one system identification decimal code being added to the obtained decimal number at a predetermined position, the system identification code(s) indicating that the identity code belongs to the subscriber/equipment (MT1-MT6) of the subsystem.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
153 words
A telecommunication system comprising a transmission network utilizing a first numbering scheme and comprising at least one mobile exchange (MSC1, MSC2) connected to a subsystem (BUC, BU1-BU6) utilizing a different numbering scheme, the calls of subscribers (MT1-MT6) in the subsystem being routed through the transmission network and said mobile exchange, characterized in that the numbering scheme of the subsystem comprises an X-bit binary subscriber/equipment identity code (PID), and the numbering scheme of the transmission network comprises a Y-decimal subscriber/equipment identity code (MSIN); and that in the transmission network the subsystem subscriber/equipment is assigned a Y-decimal identity code comprising a decimal number derived from the X-bit binary identity code of the subscriber/equipment and including no more than Y-1 numbers, at least one system identification decimal code being added to the obtained decimal number at a predetermined position, the system identification code(s) indicating that the identity code belongs to the subscriber/equipment (MT1-MT6) of the subsystem.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
38 words
A system according to claim 4, characterized in that a network code and/or country code (MNC, MCC) is utilized as the most significant decimals in the subscriber/equipment identity code (IMSI) in the numbering scheme of the transmission system.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
57 words
A system according to claim 4, characterized in that the subsystem is a cordless telephone system comprising at least one fixed radio station (BU1-BUS) and at least one subscriber radio station (MT1-MT6), and that said binary subscriber/equipment identity code (PID) is used in the communication between the fixed radio station (BU1-BUS) and the subscriber radio station (MT1-MT6).
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
90 words
A system according to claim 6, characterized in that the decimal number version of the binary subscriber/equipment identity code (PID) is used in the communication between the subsystem and the associated mobile exchange (MSC1, MSC2), and that the subsystem comprises binary/decimal and decimal/binary conversion means (31, 41) for converting the subscriber/equipment identity code, and that the mobile exchange (MSC1, MSC2) comprises means (32, 33, 42) for converting said decimal number version into a subscriber/equipment identity code (IMSI, MSIN) complying with the numbering scheme of the transmission system, and vice versa.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
68 words
A system according to claim 6, characterized in that said binary subscriber/equipment identity code is used in the communication between the subsystem and the associated mobile exchange (MSC1, MSC2), and that the mobile exchange (MSC1, MSC2) comprises means (31-33, 41, 42) for converting said binary subscriber/equipment identity code (PID) into the subscriber/equipment identity code (IMSI, MSIN) complying with the numbering scheme of the transmission system, and vice versa.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim
