CAP to DIAMETER protocol converter

Customized applications for mobile network enhanced logic (CAMEL) application part (CAP) is a protocol used in 3G networks in order to communicate between the different components in the network. Where as in 4G networks DIAMETER protocol is used which provides higher data rates and increased throughput in the network, when compared to the CAMEL protocol. This paper describes the conversion of CAMEL protocol to DIAMETER protocol which helps in increased throughput and bandwidth utilization. The obtained result shows the call processing capability under various traffic conditions such as voice calls and short message service (SMS) calls depending on the SCP Action and CAP control modes. The CAP - Ro translator is a part of the interworking function (IWF).
