  Abstract

In mobile cellular network, the ever-changing location of a mobile host necessitates the continuous tracking of its current position and efficient management of location information. A database called Home Location Register(HLR) plays a major role in location management in this distributed environment, providing table management, index management, and backup management facilities.
The objectives of this paper are to identify the problems of the current HLR system through rigorous analysis, to suggest solution to them, and to propose a new architecture for the HLR system. In the HLR system, a main memory database system is used to provide real-time accesses and updates of subscriber's information. Thus it is suggested that the improvement bemade to support better real-time facilities, to manage subscriber's information more reliably, and to accommodate more subscribers.
In this paper, I propose an efficient backup method that takes into account the characteristics of HLR database transactions.
The retrieval speed and the memory usage of the two-level index method are better than those of the T-tree index method Insertion and deletion overhead of the chained bucket hashing method is less than that of modified linear hashing method. In the proposed backup method, I use two kinds of dirty flags in order to solve the performance degradation problemcaused by frequent registration-location operations.
Performance analysis has been performed to evaluate the proposed techniques based on a system with subscribers. The results show that, in comparison with the current techniques, the memory requirement is reduced by more than 62%, directory operations, and backup operation by more than 80%.
