Abstract

In this paper we present and analyze IN data managers for dynamic data. We examine database needs for call control, service switching, special resources, service data, and service management. We take a closer study for database requirements for service data in SDF and management data in SMF. The issues addressed in the requirements analysis are needed application interfaces, logical object model, and core database requirements. From the analysis we draw a conclusion that it is possible to fulfill the requirements and that SDF and SMF can share the same database architecture if compromises are made.
