Method for NPA split processing
First Claim
1. A method for numbering plan area (NPA) split processing, the method comprising:
- receiving a query during a permissive dialing period, the query comprising a destination location, the destination location associated with a first NPA;
determining whether a first call processing record identifies a service that is NPA sensitive, the first call processing record associated with a destination location undergoing an NPA split and identified by the destination location, the destination location associated with the first NPA; and
using a second call processing record in place of the first call processing record when the first call processing record identifies a service that is NPA sensitive, the second call processing record associated with the destination location undergoing an NPA split and identified by the destination location, the destination location associated with a second NPA.

Abstract
A system and method for numbering plan area (NPA) split processing is disclosed. In one implementation, a query is received during a permissive dialing period. The query comprises a destination location that is associated with a first NPA. It is determined whether a first call processing record identifies a service that is NPA sensitive. The first call processing record is associated with a destination location that is undergoing a NPA split. The first call processing record is identified by the destination location and the destination location is associated with a first NPA. A second call processing record is then used for processing in place of the first call processing record when the first call processing record identifies a service that is NPA sensitive. The second call processing record is associated with the destination location that is undergoing an NPA split. The second call processing record is identified by the destination location and the destination location is associated with a second NPA.

4. A method for numbering plan area (NPA) split processing, the method comprising:
-
receiving a query during a permissive dialing period, the query comprising a destination location comprising an NPA undergoing an NPA split; assigning the destination location to a call variable; retrieving a call processing record identified by the call variable, wherein the call processing record identifies a service; determining whether the service is NPA sensitive; and changing the NPA in the call variable to a new NPA when the service is NPA sensitive. - View Dependent Claims (5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11)

12. A method for numbering plan area (NPA) split processing, the method comprising:
-
receiving a query during a permissive dialing period, the query comprising a destination location undergoing an NPA split; changing data in a subscriber'"'"'s call processing record identified by a destination location that is associated with a first NPA when the query is received to change a first profile management call processing record; changing data in a subscriber'"'"'s call processing record identified by the destination location that is associated with a second NPA when the query is received to change a second profile management call processing record; wherein the first profile management call processing record is associated with a service that is NPA sensitive and the second profile management call processing record is associated with a service that is not NPA sensitive. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17)

18. A computer-readable storage medium comprising a set of instructions for numbering plan area (NPA) split processing, the set of instructions to direct a processor to perform acts of:
-
receiving a query during a permissive dialing period, the query comprising a destination location, the destination location associated with a first NPA; determining whether a first call processing record identifies a service that is NPA sensitive, the first call processing record associated with a destination location undergoing an NPA split and identified by the destination location, the destination location associated with the first NPA; and using a second call processing record in place of the first call processing record when the first call processing record identifies a service that is NPA sensitive, the second call processing record associated with the destination location undergoing an NPA split and identified by the destination location, the destination location associated with a second NPA.

19. A system for numbering plan area (NPA) split processing, the system comprising:
-
a network element in communication with at least a second network element, the network element operative to receive a query comprising a destination location from at least the second network element, to access at least a first and second call processing record, and to NPA split processing; wherein the first and second call processing records are associated with a destination location undergoing an NPA split, the first call processing record identified by a destination location that is associated with a first NPA and the second call processing record identified by the destination location that is associated with the second NPA; wherein the network element accesses the first call processing record to determine whether the first call processing record identifies a service that is NPA sensitive and uses the second call processing record in place of the first call processing record when the first cal processing record identifies a service that is NPA sensitive. - View Dependent Claims (20)
