With the development of communication technology, there are various mobile communication services that can make calls while moving.

The basic mobile communication system consists of a mobile terminal, a base station, a base station controller, and a mobile switching center. The mobile terminal is a mobile terminal such as a digital cellular network (DCN) and a personal communication service (PCS). Terminal), the base station changes the signal format between the mobile terminal and the base station controller to be suitable for the wireless link and the wired link, the base station controller is a function of each element of the base station and the connection means between the cell operator, base station operation management, It monitors the service status of hardware and software in the base station, allocates and configures resources for call traffic, collects information on base station operation, and monitors base station operations, subsystems related to monitoring and fixing. The mobile switching center then configures an access point for user traffic between the base station controller management and the mobile communication network and the mobile switching center of the general telephone network or the same mobile communication system.

With the development of wireless communication technology, the cost of using a mobile terminal is lowered and the call quality is also improved to allow a high quality call even in a driving vehicle.

And the Internet is created by connecting large and small computer networks all over the world, and it can be said that a computer network is formed by simply connecting two computers to exchange data with each other.

In other words, a computer network refers to a connected network itself that is connected so that individual computers can exchange information. When computer network is configured, information communication between computers connected to the network is called computer communication. These computer networks are formed as small offices, and the networks within the offices are linked to buildings or larger networks and included in larger networks. In this way, the size of the network is locally connected to form a LAN (Local Area Network), and the LAN and the LAN are interconnected to form an internetworking (internetworking) to form a larger metropolitan area network (MAN). These MANs will come together to form a larger network, the Wide Area Network (WAN). WANs are large networks that form the backbone of almost one country.

Networks, which have been formed and grown around the world, have quickly reached the borders of countries and nations across borders. Eventually, today, submarine optical cables are used, satellites are connected wirelessly, and various ways of connecting the earth to one network are possible. It is the Internet that is made up of many large and small computer networks around the world.

As the wired network has developed into asynchronous transmission (ATM) broadband integrated information network (B-ISDN) via a general telephone network (PSTN) and an integrated information communication network (ISDN), wireless mobile networks are also digital cellular networks (DCN: Digital Cellular). Network and Personal Communication Service (PCS) are evolving into next generation mobile communication (IMT-2000) network that can support multimedia such as high speed data, packet, and video.

Such mobile terminals were initially used only for voice communication, but recently, they are also used for data communication. Recently, mobile communication service providers provide hundreds of contents such as news, bank transactions, and electronic commerce through wireless Internet cellular phones.

Recently, the mobile phone can be used in various ways, such as listening to AM or FM radio broadcasts using a mobile phone, or downloading MP3 music from the Internet as an audio file format (file extension mp3) and storing it in the mobile phone. It's coming out.

WAP basically specifies the specifications of the mobile browser Internet browser optimized for mobile computers, as well as the proxy server specification that functions as a gateway between the wireless network and the wired Internet by optimizing data transfer for protocol switching or mobile computers.

As such, mobile terminals are currently used in various ways according to users. Currently, more than 10 million users are using mobile terminals, and three mobile service providers provide services. It is based on five carrier identification numbers.

The mobile communication service using the mobile terminal may change the service provider according to the promotion competition of the mobile communication providers. In such a case, the number of the mobile communication service is changed because the subscribers do not share the mobile communication service subscriber information. I didn't know.

In particular, with the development of mobile communication, the increase of single households, and the increase of single-family households, many people often leave their homes empty during the day, and they do not need to talk at night while doing their necessary work during the day. If you change your mobile service provider, it is inconvenient for the person who changes your phone number to call everyone you know. It is planned to change, and the number that is changed tells you what number was a problem that is impossible itself.
