    HLR - Home Location Register The Home Location Register is a database within the Home Public Land Mobile Network. 1. It provides routing information for Mobile Terminated calls and Short Message Service. Itis also responsible for the maintenance of user subscription information. 2. This is distributed to the relevant VLR -Visitor Location Register or SGSN - Serving GPRS Support Node through the attach process and mobility management procedures such as Location Area and Routing Area updates, 3. HLR stores and manages all mobile subscriptions belonging to a specific operator. The HLR is considered the most important database because it stores permanent data about subscribers, including subscriber's supplementary services, location information, and. authentication parameters buys When a person a subscription, it is registered in the operator's HLR. 4. The HLR can be implemented with the MSCIVLR or as a stand-alone database 5. AHLR contains user information such as account information, account status, user preferences, features subscribed to by the user, user's current location, etc. The data stored in HLRs for the different types of networks is similar but does differ in some details. 6. HLRs are used by the Mobile Switching Centers (MSCs) to originate and deliver arriving mobile calls. HLR Redundancy When a single HLR fails, all subscribers with records in that HLR will not be able to roam or receive calls. HLR Redundancy can prevent such a loss of subscriber activity. This feature is achieved by having an additional HLR node for each HLR node in the network. HLR Redundancy provides protection against disaster situations such as fire at an HLR site. At the same time, it will give protection against Signalling failures towards an HLR and will also lower the lack of availability ‘caused by HLR restarts With this feature, the subscriber can make and receive calls even in disastrous situations like an earthquake with litle or no change in network continuity or functionality. The HLR Redundancy feature, allows failure to be invisible to the network and the subscriber. A mated HLR is introduced in such a way that subscribers and load are shared in normal operation, and when one HLR fails, the other picks up all traffic normally routed to the pair. 2.VLR A VLR is a database, similar to a HLR, which is used by the mobile network to temporarily hold profiles of roaming users (users outside their home area). This VLR data is based on the user information retrieved from a HLR. MSCs use a VLR to handle roaming users. Database contains information about all mobile stations currently located in the MSC service area VLR contains temporary subscriber information needed by the MSC to provide service for visiting subscribers. The VLR can be seen as a distributed HLR. The Ericsson VLR is always integrated in the MSC. When a mobile station roams into a new MSC service area, the VLR connected to that MSC requests and stores data about the mobile station from the HLR. If the mobile station makes a call at another time, the VLR will already have the information needed for call setup. 3. How are the HLR and VLR used? Each mobile network has its own HLRs and VLRs. When a MSC detects a mobile user's presence in the area covered by its network, it first checks a database to determine if the user is in his/her home area or is roaming, i.e., the user is a visitor. a. User in Home Area: HLR has the necessary information for initiating, terminating, or receiving a call b. User is Roaming: VLR contacts the user's HLR to get the necessary information to set up a temporary user profile. The user's location is recorded in the HLR, and in case the user roaming, it is also recorded in the VLR. ‘Suppose that the user wants to make a call a. User in Home Area: MSC contacts the HLR prior setting up the to call. b. User is Roaming: MSC contacts the VLR prior to setting up the call ‘Suppose that there is a call for the user (call goes to the home MSC) a. User in Home Area: Home MSC delivers the call immediately. b. User is Roaming: Home MSC contacts the VLR to determine the appropriate switch in the roaming area to handle the arriving call and then transfers the call to the roaming area MSC.
