&description=Mobile Number Portability (MNP) standards and its integration is still evolving. As part of the previous work where JAVA programming language was used to develop an integration front end for admin logs and audits (MNVSim Suite), this work further expanded the work by presenting a simulation prototype of a MNP GSM design. MATLAB Simulink was used to implement the design while showing the sensitivity profile of the end user GSM node using BER metric as a QoS standard. The reviewed works shows that BER is a vital metric in a communication system. For the conceptual design, the significance of Gaussian Minimum Shift Keying GMSK was outline. An insight into the performance of proposed MNP conceptual GSM design based on array transceiver of CDMA 2000-1x system, considered for the case of 614.4 Ksps image data service WCDMA mobile radios with uniform variation of 1 km/h to 150 km/h was considered.&picture=http://www.aascit.org/aascit/decorators/img/journal/896.jpg)
