A Hybrid Call Routing Framework for Mobile Number Portability in Nigeria
Journal Title: International Research Journal of Computer Science - Year 2016, Vol 0, Issue 0
Abstract
The essence of Mobile Number Portability (MNP) is to improve quality of service by deepening competition among service providers. This technology was launched in Nigeria in 2013 by the Nigerian Communication Commission (NCC) but the introduction of MNP in Nigeria has neither improved the quality of service offered by the service providers nor provided an open platform for fair competition for smaller telecommunication operators. Subscribers not being satisfied with the operators’ services and the frequent network derailment have become more challenging. This has not only led to untold inconveniences to subscribers since the service providers have capitalized on this lapse to exploit the subscribers by imposing unreasonable charges to subscribers. Efficient MNP involves adopting an efficient call routing framework.This research therefore became imperative as it aims at analyzing the MNP call routing framework in Nigeria together with other existing frameworks with a view to coming up with a hybrid call routing framework for the enhancement of MNP in Nigeria. The system was designed using Object Oriented Analysis and Design Methodology (OOADM), Visual Basic.NET for the program codes and Microsoft Access as the Database system. The results indeed show that a hybrid between All Call Query (ACQ) frameworks already existing in Nigeria with call Drop back framework ensures reduction in network congestion and hence improved quality of service.
