CAMEL [PDF ebook] 
Intelligent Networks for the GSM, GPRS and UMTS Network

Learn how to use CAMEL to transfer the Intelligent Network
concept to the mobile world!

CAMEL (Customized Application for the Mobile network Enhanced
Logic) is a standard for Intelligent Networks for mobile
communications networks. It is currently deployed in all
regions of the world, enabling mobile network operators to offer
fast and efficient services to their subscribers.

This book is an in-depth and dedicated reference on CAMEL,
taking the reader through the history and development of
Intelligent Networks and the essential principles of CAMEL, to the
future of the technology. The author provides guidance on the
various standards and specifications, and explains not only
how CAMEL works but also why it works this way.
Practical hints on the installation of CAMEL in the network are
given throughout the book.

CAMEL: Intelligent Networks for the GSM, GPRS and UMTS
Network:

* Offers a comprehensive guide to implementing CAMEL.

* Gives a complete picture, including the network entities &
data flows involved.

* Describes and explains the four CAMEL phases and their
aspects.

* Presents an overview of the principles of Intelligent Networks,
such as Finite State Machines, Trigger Detection Points, Event
Detection Points and dialogue, essential to understanding
CAMEL.

* Covers charging and accounting issues, and the impact of CAMEL
on the charging system in the mobile network.

* Provides practical hints over and above those mentioned in the
formal specifications.

This text will be an invaluable resource for intelligent network
service logic designers, service network designers, network
engineers, and GSM/UMTS network designers and implementers.
Advanced students on courses such as ‘Intelligent
Networks’, ‘Value Added Services’, and
‘Service Networks’ will also find it an excellent guide
to the topic.
