 Supplementary Services Functions

 Based on basic services, supplementary services allow users to change the
incoming/outgoing call processing of the network according their own needs,
or provide some information for users to intelligently use some regular
service through the network. In the MSCS, the supplementary services involve
two function blocks. One includes basic operations such as provision and
registration of supplementary services. The other includes the supplementary
and modification functions for basic services, such as call related
supplementary services, call independent supplementary services and
password management functions.

 Supplementary Services Operations

The basic operation procedure of supplementary services
involves the provision, withdrawal, register, erasing, activation,
deactivation, Interrogating and invoking, as well as the password
management process.
 1.Provision: Mobile users subscribe supplementary services from service
providers (carriers). The users can implement service registration only after
provision.

 2.Withdrawal: The user applies for unregister or the carrier unregisters a
supplementary service. After the unregister, the carrier does not provide the
supplementary service for the user any more.
The provision and withdrawal are completed through the handling console.
All supplementary services can be used only after they are provisioned.
 3. Register: The user registers the data related to the supplementary service in
the MSCS/VLR and HLR.
