Abstract
In this paper, a novel Home Location Register(HLR) mobility database recovery scheme is proposed. With database backing-up and signal sending as its key processes, the presented scheme is designed for the purpose of both decreasing system costs and reducing number of lost calls. In our scheme, an algorithm is developed for an HLR to identify such VLRs that there are new MSs roaming into them since the latest HLR database backing up. The identification of those VLRs is used by the HLR to send Unreliable Roaming Data Directive messages to each of them to get the correct location information of those new MSs.Additionally, two kinds of relationships, one between the number of lost calls and the database backing-up period and the other between the backing-up cost and the period, are well analyzed. Both analytical and numerical results indicate that there will be an optimal HLR database backing-up period if certain system parameters are given and the total cost can be consequently minimized.
