  • Patent number: 9516172
    Abstract: A method describes enriching a Call Detail Record (CDR) to identify traffic routing through network providers. The method comprises the steps of obtaining Operator Carrier Numbers (OCNs) assigned to network providers operating in a network; obtaining trunk group identifiers for identifying trunks configured to interconnect an Originating Provider's network including a Mobile Switching Center (MSC) with network providers; and identifying network providers configured to communicate through the trunk groups with the Originating Provider's network, including the MSC. The method also obtains a Called Party Number (CdPN) from the CDR; and associates the CdPN with an OCN of a network provider. The method also determines whether the OCN associated with the trunk group and the OCN of the CdPN are the same.

  • Patent number: 9392124
    Abstract: 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.
