WICIS Overview 1.1 Introduction The purpose of this document is to clearly define the business requirements for Wireless Intercarrier Communications Interface Specification (WICIS) for Local Number Portability. It i

28、s the first volume, in the set of four, defined within the Unified Ordering Model (UOM) process. WICIS was converted to UOM in order to align with technology changes and to better facilitate interoperability. The primary audience for this specification document is Commercial Mobile Radio Service (CM

29、RS) providers along with wireless equipment and service vendors who assist in the definition, development and deployment of Wireless Number Portability (WNP) solutions. It assumes the reader is familiar with WNP and the wireless telecommunications technologies. WICIS defines the operational requirem

30、ents and technical specifications for the exchange of information needed for the Intercarrier Communication Process (ICP). It represents a consensus developed by the members of the OBF Wireless Committee and is applicable to all CMRS carriers. Proprietary implementations are outside the scope of WIC

31、IS. WICIS defines number portability intercarrier communications processes for wireless providers. References to wireless interactions with a wireline provider through fields, values or processes within WICIS have been identified to allow for the potential synchronization with intermodal processes a

32、nd internal company system implementation efforts. WICIS is not intended to supersede any regulatory decision regarding number portability or intercarrier communications, but is intended to describe the process and specifications as it involves CMRS. 1.2. Background The Federal Communications Commis

33、sion (FCC) Number Portability First Order and Report and Further Notice on Proposed Rulemaking, CC Docket 95-116, dated July 2, 1996, mandated all CMRS providers provide Local Number Portability (LNP) by June 30, 1999. In January 1998, Cellular Telecommunications Industry Association (CTIA), sponsor

34、ed workshop on intercarrier communications recommended adopting a phased approach to Wireless Number Portability (WNP) intercarrier communications. Given the short compliance timeline, the first phase was to begin June 30, 1999 using a modified version of the wireline Local Service Request (LSR) for

35、ms and process. It was suggested that the second phase eliminate the wireline LSR method from the WNP processes for intercarrier communications. The workshop recommended that the 8 ATIS-0409001-0500 WICIS Version 5.0.0, Volume I Published 12/18/09 second phase consider an enhancement to the Number P

36、ortability Administration Center (NPAC) or an alternative method which would enable wireless carriers to exchange information about porting customers through a third party communication, rather than using direct carrier-to-carrier communications. Service providers wanted a process that would not neg

37、atively impact customers, was user friendly, low cost, focused on the necessities, and reduced porting conflicts. This single process should be implemented by all wireless service providers. This process was developed with consideration given to wireline issues thereby lending itself to adoption by

38、the wireline industry. Requirements that were considered are as follows: Product Related One simple and consistent process for integrated and stand-alone platforms Automated system Easy to modify and maintain Ability to set timers based on type and direction of port Help functions Reporting capabili

39、ties Timestamps and confirmation of receipt of transactions Ability to integrate into multiple systems such as billing, Point of Sale (POS) and Service Order Administration (SOA) systems Data Related Same data structure for all ports User defined parameters for record retention Ability to maintain h

40、istorical database of request and response transactions based on user defined parameters Ability to maintain Service Provider (SP) database When applicable, use the existing wireline reason codes When communication occurs between wireless carriers electronically, the date and time fields will be con

41、verted to Greenwich Mean Time (GMT). The offset of local time will be included in the electronic interface data structure. This will enable both service providers ICP systems to use the offset to display a local time. Communication Protocols Adopt standard protocols for communication between carrier

42、s Effective and efficient communication methodology including web access Encryption The CTIA Report on Wireless Number Portability was issued to the industry in August 1998. In that report, the LSR was defined as a method of communication between service providers. To support the unique requirements

43、 of the CMRS providers, a business case was developed to enable a wireless-to-wireless port to complete within 2 9 ATIS-0409001-0500 WICIS Version 5.0.0, Volume I Published 12/18/09 hours. The Intercarrier Communication Process (ICP) response was allotted 30 minutes. On February 8, 1999, the FCC gra

44、nted the CMRS industry an extension regarding their Local Number Portability obligations until November 24, 2002. The additional time granted to CMRS providers made possible the launch of WNP with an intercarrier communications process that adequately supported the industrys needs. A Wireless Interc

45、arrier Communication Sub Group was created to define and agree upon specific business requirements for an intercarrier communication process. The five alternatives previously established by the industry underwent an extensive analysis. Based on specific goals, they developed a process and specificat

46、ion that included a standardized data structure, common data elements, and communication protocols providing wireless carriers the best opportunity to complete the intercarrier communication process within a reasonable interval. The operational requirements and technical specifications for the wirel

47、ess industry solution are detailed in this document. It has been determined as the solution that provides the most benefits with the least cost or risk. While it was not a specific goal of the sub group to provide a wireline solution, it is believed that this solution would allow future incorporatio

48、n of wireline processes. On July 16, 2002, the FCC granted an additional extension for the implementation of WNP. The implementation date was set at November 24, 2003. Initially a significant number of data elements on a port order were being validated by wireless carriers backend systems, which res

49、ulted in high fallout. Subsequent to the implementation of WNP, some carriers agreed to reduce the number of data element validations in their backend system to reduce fallout and still minimize inadvertent ports. Although the backend validations were reduced, wireless carriers must still refer to the Data Dictionary for
