Abstract

The invention discloses a method for updating user location information. The method comprises the following steps that: a visit location register VLR in which a user is to stay sends an authenticationrequest to a home location register HLR, wherein the authentication request carries the user location information; after receiving the authentication request, the HLR compares whether the user location information carried in the authentication request and user location information stored in the HLR are consistent; and if the user location information carried in the authentication request and theuser location information stored in the HLR are not consistent, the user location information carried in the authentication request is used to update the user location information stored in the HLR. Under the condition of not significantly increasing network bandwidth and processing load of the VLR and the HLR, the method for updating the user location information can correct the problem that theuser location information registered in the HLR and the actual user location information are not consistent in time to ensure normal operation of services. At the same time, an authentication requestmessage completes the function of registration request, and network communication bandwidth is reduced. The method for updating the user location information can also be applied to other mobile communication systems.

Description

A kind of method of upgrading customer position information
Technical field
The present invention relates to moving communicating field, relate in particular to a kind of method of upgrading customer position information.
Background technology
Figure 1 shows that CDMA (Code Division Multiple Access, the digital cdma wireless technology) network architecture of system, in cdma system, when travelling carriage (user) from a VLR (Visitor Location Register, Visited Location Registor; Be called VLRa), (be called: in the time of VLRb), VLRb will register the positional information of this travelling carriage to HLR (Home Location Register, attaching position register) to roam into another VLR.
Figure 2 shows that the flow process of registration location information, comprise the steps:
Step 201: after travelling carriage roams into VLRb from VLRa, send position updating request to VLRb;
After step 202:VLRb receives position updating request, inquire about the CAMEL-Subscription-Information of himself whether preserving this user, if preserved this user's CAMEL-Subscription-Information, then execution in step 203; If do not preserve this user's CAMEL-Subscription-Information, then execution in step 204;
Step 203:VLRb thinks that this user is that portion carries out the position renewal within it, sends the position to travelling carriage and upgrades response, does not initiate the registration location information flow to HLR, end;
Step 204:VLRb sends the registration request to HLR, initiates the registration location information flow;
Carry VLRb information in registration request, it comprises that VLRb sign, VLRb ability information and other need notify the lastest imformation of HLR.
After step 205:HLR receives the registration request, send registration cancellation request to VLRa;
Step 206:VLRa deletes this user's who is preserved CAMEL-Subscription-Information after receiving registration cancellation request, and returns registration cancellation response to HLR;
After step 207:HLR receives registration cancellation response, use this user position information of its preservation of VLRb information updating, i.e. VLRa information;
Step 208: simultaneously, HLR returns register response to VLRb, carries user's CAMEL-Subscription-Information and HLR sign etc. in register response;
After step 209:VLRb receives register response, upgrade response, finish registering flow path to the travelling carriage home position.
As shown in Figure 3, for to the in-problem note of above-mentioned flow process; Wherein,
Step 301-step 305 is identical with step 201-step 205;
HLR sends registration to VLRa and cancels request, after VLRa receives registration cancellation request, may delete user's CAMEL-Subscription-Information owing to reasons such as faults itself fail, and this moment, VLRa returned registration cancellation failure response to HLR; Also might cause VLRa to fail and receive the registration cancellation request that HLR sends,, and produce overtime to such an extent as to HLR can't receive the response message that VLRa returns because the communication link between HLR and the VLRa breaks down.
Step 306:VLRa does not successfully delete user's CAMEL-Subscription-Information after receiving registration cancellation request, returns registration cancellation failure response to HLR; Or HLR sends registration cancellation request failure to VLRa, and HLR does not receive the response message that VLRa returns, wait timeout;
After step 307:HLR receives registration cancellation failure response or wait timeout, use this user position information of its preservation of VLRb information updating, i.e. VLRa information;
Step 308-step 309 is identical with step 208-step 209;
Step 310: after travelling carriage is got back to VLRa from the VLRb roaming once more, send position updating request to VLRa;
After step 311:VLRa received position updating request, whether inquiry preserved this user's CAMEL-Subscription-Information, and inquires the CAMEL-Subscription-Information of preserving the user;
Step 312:VLRa sends the position to travelling carriage and upgrades response, finishes.
The subject matter that above-mentioned flow process exists is, in step 308, after VLRb receives register response, all preserves user's CAMEL-Subscription-Information in VLRa and VLRb.
The user is once more when VLRa is got back in VLRb roaming, in step 311, owing to still preserve user's CAMEL-Subscription-Information (not deleting) among the VLRa owing to abnormal conditions, it is after the position updating request that receives the travelling carriage transmission, can not initiate the registration location information flow to HLR, upgrade response but directly send the position to VLRa, thus the information that remains the VLRb that this user roamed out that causes in HLR, preserving, to such an extent as to this user's business such as called can't normally be carried out.
In order to address this problem, existing solution is respectively:
1, HLR attempts repeatedly retransmitting registration cancellation request to this VLR after the VLR that the user roams out sends registration cancellation request failure;
2, VLR regular check User Status, if find certain user in a period of time without any activity, then delete this user's CAMEL-Subscription-Information;
More than two kinds of schemes be by the CAMEL-Subscription-Information of user among the deletion VLR, guarantee the user when roam back this VLR, can be again to HLR initiation registration location information flow.
Such scheme exists following problem respectively:
Scheme 1, HLR retransmits registration cancellation request to VLR many times will increase taking of communication bandwidth, even and repeatedly retransmit registration cancellation request to VLR, still possibly can't successfully delete user's CAMEL-Subscription-Information;
Scheme 2 adopts regularly and deletes inactive user's CAMEL-Subscription-Information, and the processing cycle is longer, is traditionally arranged to be 24 hours inertias of user and deletes this user's CAMEL-Subscription-Information, handles untimely.
Summary of the invention
The technical problem to be solved in the present invention provides a kind of method of upgrading customer position information, when the user want resident to VLR when preserving its CAMEL-Subscription-Information, make HLR can upgrade user position information in time, and extra occupying system resources not.
For solving the problems of the technologies described above, a kind of method of upgrading customer position information of the present invention, the user wants resident Visited Location Registor VLR to send authentication request to attaching position register HLR, carries customer position information in authentication request; After HLR receives authentication request, relatively whether this user position information of preserving among the customer position information that carries in the authentication request and the HLR is identical, if inequality, then use the customer position information that carries in the authentication request to upgrade this user position information of preserving among the HLR.
Further, the customer position information that carries in the authentication request is wanted the sign of resident VLR for the user.
Further, the customer position information that carries in the authentication request is the moving exchanging center MSC sign.
