Method and system for transferring information to a post processing subsystem outside the wireless network
First Claim
1. Within a wireless telecommunications network, a method of transferring information from a mobile station or base station subsystem in the network transparently to a post processing subsystem outside the network, the method comprising the steps of:
- generating said information by the mobile station or base station subsystem;
receiving by a the mobile switching center, said information from the mobile station or base station subsystem voluntarily without processing via a Base Station Subsystem Management Application Part (BSSMAP) message stream;
identifying the type of external node from which a request for information was received;
an element in the network formatting the content of the information in a format suitable for receipt by the post processing subsystem; and
an element in the network transmitting the information in a network message format to the post processing subsystem through the identified external node from which the request or information was received.

Abstract
Within a wireless telecommunications network, a method and system of transferring information from a Mobile Station (MS) 12 in the network 40 transparently to a Post Processing Subsystem (PPSS) 50 outside the network 40. The PPSS 50 requests information about the MS 12 by transmitting a request to the network 40 via an external node 42 coupling the PPSS 50 to the network 40. An element in the network 40 then receives the request from the PPSS 50 and identifies the type of external node 42 from which the request was received. Information is collected about the MS 12 that is responsive to the request. Finally, the information is transmitted in a network message format to the PPSS 50 through the identified external node from which the request was received.

2. Within a wireless telecommunications network, a method of transferring network-related information from a base station subsystem (BSS) in the network transparently to a post processing subsystem outside the network, the method comprising the steps of:
-
requesting, by the post processing subsystem, the network-related information from the BSS by transmitting a request to the network via an external node coupling the post processing subsystem to the network;
sending the requested network-related information from the BSS to an intermediate element in the network voluntarily without processing via a Base Station Subsystem Management Application Part (BSSMAP) message stream;
said intermediate element;
identifying the external node through which the request for information was received;
formatting the requested network-related information in a format suitable for receipt by the post processing subsystem; and
transmitting the information in a network message format to the post processing subsystem through the identified external node from which the request for information was received. - View Dependent Claims (4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10)

11. Within a wireless telecommunications network, a system for transferring information from a mobile station or base station subsystem in the network transparently to a post processing subsystem outside the network, the system comprising:
-
means for identifying a type of external node from which a request for information was received, said identifying means including;
means for generating said information; and
means for receiving said information from the mobile station or base station subsystem voluntarily without processing via a Base Station Subsystem Management Application Part (BSSMAP) message stream;
means for formatting the content of the information in a format suitable for receipt by the post processing subsystem; and
means for transmitting the information in a network message format to the post processing subsystem by way of the external node. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16)
