A method for operating and translating SCCP global titles to implement the
global roaming uses a signal message routing based upon the SCCP global
title. According to one embodiment of the present invention, if a
received signal message is routed according to the global title, the
required global title translation is for global roaming is determined by
detecting whether a local global title has been defined in the received
signal message. If the translation is to be made for global roaming, then
the types of global title translations to be conducted are determined
among the country code global title translation, the network code global
title translation and the mobile subscriber identification number global
title translation based upon whether the country code and/or the network
code of the local global code are identical with those of the global code
to be translated. In this manner, the present invention may implement the
efficient SCCP global title translation while supporting the global
roaming.
