Research On The Application Of Business Support System In Inmarsat Satellite System

With the commercial launch of 1-4 satellites. Inmarsat is now at the head of international mobile satellite communications industry by offering the communication services which satisfies the requirements of 3G standards. By researching on application of Business Support System in maritime satellite communication system, it would enhance the management on customer relations, products, service orders; and support the flexible marketing strategy, real-time billing; and prevent credit fraud. and improve work efficiency and service level eventually. On the basis of research on BSS eTOM model standard introduced on TMF. we have finished the system design of BSS in practice of maritime satellite communications scope, which describes in the thesis, and the main results are as below;We have put forward the overall structure of M-BSS, which includes the module function and relations of modules in the system, and practice technology background.Because of the management particularity in maritime satellite communication services, we have finished the design of billing management system and actual production. In order to practise the flexible tariff strategy, we introduce the philosophy of tree-structured tariff model for the tariff management, and make pricing and billing as per the tariff principles.We have put forward the direct and inverse calculation methods on CDR pricing in the billing management system for the resolutions in practice of Online Charge Service, prepay service and preventing credit fraud.We have finished test and experience of the system in the actual practice, and it has shown that the billing management system which have finished satisfies the design requirement and its capability is stable as well.
