  10. Contents • Overview • GSM Location Update • Mobility Databases • Failure Restoration • VLR Identification Algorithm • VLR Overflow Control Taek-su Shin

  11. HLR • Home location register • Mobile station information • IMSI (International Mobile Subscriber Identity) • MSISDN (MS ISDN number) • Location information • ISDN number of the VLR • ISDN number of the MSC • Service information • Service subscription • Service restrictions • Supplementary services Taek-su Shin

  12. VLR • Visitor location register • Mobile station information • IMSI • MSISDN • TMSI (Temporary Mobile Subscriber Identity) • Location information • MSC number • Location area ID (LAI) • Service information • Subset of the service information stored in the HLR Taek-su Shin

  13. Contents • Overview • GSM Location Update • Mobility Databases • Failure Restoration • VLR Identification Algorithm • VLR Overflow Control Taek-su Shin

  14. VLR Failure Restoration(1/2) • MS registration • A case of inter-VLR movement • Recovered by the normal registration procedure • Can’t be recognized TMSI • Be asked to send IMSI • MS call origination • System error : “unidentified subscriber” • Be asked to initiate the location registration procedure Taek-su Shin

  15. MS u1 VLR Failure Restoration(2/2) • MS call termination MAP_PROVIDE_ROAMING_NUMBER_ack PSTN HLR GMSC VLR MAP_INSERT_SUBSCRIBER_DATA_ack MAP_INSERT_SUBSCRIBER_DATA MAP_RESTORE_DATA_ack MAP_RESTORE_DATA MSC MAP_SEARCH_FOR_MOBILE_SUBSCRIBER MAP_SEND_ROUTING_INFORMATION_ack MAP_SEND_INFO_FOR_INCOMING_CALL MAP_PROCESS_ACCESS_REQUEST_ack MAP_SEND_ROUTING_INFORMATION MAP_PROCESS_ACCESS_REQUEST MAP_PROVIDE_ROAMING_NUMBER ISUP IAM ISUP IAM Taek-su Shin

  16. HLR Failure Restoration • Uncovered period • HLR restoration procedure HLR VLR MAP_UPDATE_LOCATION_ack MAP_UPDATE_LOCATION MAP_RESET Taek-su Shin

  17. Contents • Overview • GSM Location Update • Mobility Databases • Failure Restoration • VLR Identification Algorithm • VLR Overflow Control Taek-su Shin

  18. VIA • VLR Identification Algorithm • HLR architecture HLR* VLR_List* MS VLR VLR V1 V2 V3 V4 Backup (Nonvolatile Storage) TS HLR VLR_Counter ts VLR MS PVLR VLR Count V1 3 V2 1 V3 4 V4 7 Taek-su Shin

  19. VIA Procedure(1/4) • Check-pointing Step 1. For every location entry p in HLR* do: HLR[p]* · VLR ← HLR[p] · VLR; Step 2. TS ← current time; Step 3. For every location entry p in HLR do: HLR[p] · ts ← TS; HLR[p] · PVLR ← HLR[p] · VLR; Step 4. VLR_Counter ← Ø, VLR_List* ← Ø; Taek-su Shin

  20. VIA Procedure(2/4) • Registration Step 1. Update HLR: Vold ← HLR[p] · VLR; Send message, MAP_CANCEL_LOCATION, to cancel the VLR entry of p at Vold: HLR[p] · VLR ← Vnew; told ← HLR[p] · ts; HLR[p] · ts ← t; Step 2. Update the Vnew Count field in VLR_Counter: If HLR[p] · VLR ≠ HLR[p] · PVLR then: Step 2.1. If VLR_Counter[Vnew] exists, then: VLR_Counter[Vnew] · Count ← VLR_Counter[Vnew] · Count + 1; Step 2.2 Else create VLR_Counter[Vnew] and VLR_List*[Vnew]; VLR_Counter[Vnew] ← 1; Taek-su Shin

  21. VIA Procedure(3/4) • Registration Step 3. Update the Vold counter entry: If told > TS and Vold ≠ HLR[p] · PVLR then: Step 3.1. VLR_Counter[Vold] · Count ← VLR_Counter[Vold] · Count – 1; Step 3.2. If VLR_Counter[Vold] · Count = 0 then: Step 3.2.1. Delete VLR_Counter[Vold] and VLR_List*[Vold]; Taek-su Shin

  22. VIA Procedure(4/4) • Restore Step 1. TS ← current time; Step 2. For every location entry p in HLR, do: HLR[p] · PVLR = HLR[p] · VLR ← HLR[p]* · VLR; HLR[p] · ts ← TS; Step 3. For every VLR entry V in VLR_List*, send an SS7 TCAP MAP_RESET message to V; Taek-su Shin
