Performance evaluation of advanced intelligent networks supporting mobile communications

We propose five Advanced Intelligent Network (AIN) architectures which can accommodate various mobile communications services by mapping various Intelligent Network (IN) functional entities into the corresponding physical entities. We evaluate the performance of the proposed architectures in terms of the signaling load on each link, processing load at each physical entity, and processing delay according to each signaling procedure. These results can be utilized in the implementation of AIN based mobile communications networks.
