In this paper, a home location register (HLR) for CDMA mobile communication system (CMS) is introduced. It stores the mobile station (MS) subscribers locations and supplementary service information. Call processing procedures for HLR are developed to receive and store subscriber's location coming from mobile exchange (MX) during the location registration, and to transfer subscriber's location and supplementary service information to the MX during the mobile-terminated call setup. For fast call processing by increasing database access speed, a memory-resident database management system is devised. For Easy and secure HLR operation, administration and maintenance functions and overload control mechanisms are implemented. Designed HLR hardware platform is expandable and flexible enough to reallocated software blocks to any subsystems within the platform. It is configurable according to the size of subscribers. An authentication center (AC) is developed on the same platform. It screens the qualified MS from the unqualified. The calls to and from the unqualified MS are rejected in CMS. To authenticate the MS, the AC generates a new authentication parameter called "AUTHR" using shared secret data (SSD) and compared it with the other AUTHR received from the MS. The MC also generates and stores seed keys called "A-keys" which are used to generate SSDs. The HLR requirements, the AC requirements, software architecture, hardware platform, and test results are discussed.

본 논문에서는 가상의 HLR agent database를 이용해서 다양한 CM을 가지는 단말들에 대해 적용할 수 있는 위치관리 기법을 제안한다. 기존에 제안된 방법들은 단말의 CMR을 특정범위로 제한하고 있다. 표적으로 AS(Anchor Strategy)는 CMR이 낮을 경우 위치등록 용을, caching은 CMR이 높을 경우 호 설정 비용을 줄이는 기법이다. 그러나 현실적으로는 단말의 이동과 호 수신 패턴은 일정치 않다. 기존 기법과 본 논문에서 제안하는 기법간에 성능평가를 위해 다양한 CMR을 가지는 단말들에 대한 시뮬레이션을 수행한 결과, 제안기법은 데이터베이스 접근비용이 다소 증가하지만 전체적으로 15%~20%의 성능향상을 가져올 수 있었다.

When a terminal frequently crosses a RA or a call originate in a boundry cell, HLR should be updated or queried. Frequent DB accesses and message transfers may cause the HLR bottleneck and degrade the system performance. This paper propose scheme to solve the HLR bottleneck problem and reduce to call registration cost and call tracking cost in wirless networks.

In this paper we describe a distributed location management scheme to reduce the bottleneck problem of HLR in Large Personal Communication Networks (LPCNs). Using analytical modeling and numerical simulation, we show that replicating location information is both appropriate and efficient for small Personal Communication Network (PCN). Then, we extend the scheme in a hierarchical environment to reduce overhead traffic and scale to LPCNs. Through extensive numerical results, we show the superiority of our scheme compared to the current IS-41 standard scheme.

A database called Home Location Register(HLR) plays a major role in location management in mobile cellular networks. The objectives of this paper are to identify the problems of the current HLR system through rigorous analysis, to suggest solutions to them. The current HLR backup method is a process of simply writing the changed memory SLD block to disk, which has a problem in maintaining database consistency. Since information change and backup are performed separately by separate processes, there is a risk of information inconsistency when an error restart occurs. To solve this problem, a transaction concept was introduced for subscriber-related operation functions and a recovery method through logging and checkpointing was introduced. The subscriber related functions of tasks terminated normally by the suggested process are recovered with consistency even after system restarts. Performance is also not affected seriously because disk tasks for log occur with only subscriber related functions.

A modified Hybrid learning rule(MHLR) is proposed, which is derived from combining the Back Propagation algorithm that is known as an excellent classifier with modified Hebbian by changing the orginal Hebbian which is a good feature extractor. The network architecture of MHLR is multi-layered neural network. The weights of MHLR are calculated from sum of the weight of BP and the weight of modified Hebbian between input layer and higgen layer and from the weight of BP between gidden layer and output layer. To evaluate the performance, BP, MHLR and the proposed Hybrid learning rule (HLR) are simulated by Monte Carlo method. As the result, MHLR is the best in recognition rate and HLR is the second. In learning speed, HLR and MHLR are much the same, while BP is relatively slow.

Nitrification performance of fixed film biofilters using coarse sand, loess bead, or styrofoam beads in biofilter columns 1 meter high and 30cm in diameter were studied at different hydraulic and organic matter loading rates. Synthetic wastewater was supplied to the culture tank in order to maintain desired TAN concentrations in inlet water to biofilters. All the biofilters were conditioned 5 months before start of sampling. TAN and $NO_2-N$ conversion rates increased with an increase in the hydraulic loading rate (HLR). However, the improvement in biofilter performance was not linearly correlated to HLR in styrofoam bead filters. This is mainly due to the characteristics of the styrofoam beads used. TAN conversion rates of sand filters increased with the increase of HLR up to $200m^3/m^2$. per day. No increase in the TAN conversion rate was observed at the highest HLR since flooding on the media surface took place. HLR had a significant impact on the TAN conversion rates in loess bead filter up to the highest HLR tested (P<0.05). TAN conversion rates were much less at organic matter loading rates of 9 and 18kg $O_2/m^3$ per day than those without the addition of organic matter in styrofoam bead filters. The addition of glucose resulted in a reduction of the TAN conversion rate from 540 to 284g $TAN/m^3$ per day. No significant difference of TAN conversion rates between the two organic matter loading rates was found (p<0.05). This indicates that the impact of organic matter on nitrification becomes less and less sensitive with an increase in the COD/TAN ratio. At an organic matter loading rate of 9kg $O_2/m^3$. per day, a great reduction of TAN conversion rates was observed in sand filters and loess bead filters. Clearly, organic matter can be one of the most Important Impacting factors on nitrification. $NO_2-N$ conversion rates showed a similar trend for TAN. Based on the TAN and nitrite conversion rates, styrofoam beads showed the best performance among the three filter media tested. Also, the low gravity and price of styrofoam beads make the handling easier and more cost-effective for commercial application. The results obtained at the highest organic matter loading rates can be used in the biofilter design in recirculating aquaculture system.

통신 기술의 발달로 인하여 고정망 뿐만 아니라 이동망에서도 지능망 서비스를 제공하는 것이 중요하게 생각되고 이에 대한 많은 연구가 진행중이다. 이 논문은 이동망에서의 지능망 서비스를 효율적으로 제공하기 위한 네트워크 모델을 제안한다. 제안하는 모델에서는 MSC/SSP와 SCP/HLR 사이의 두 가지 신호 구조를 고려한다. 이러한 모델에서 지능망 서비스를 제공하는 것이 효율적임을 보이기 위하여 먼저 VLR을 사용한 지능망 서비스의 제공 방안을 제시한 후, 두 가지 모델에서의 지능망 서비스 관리에 관한 성능을 분석해 보고자 한다. 이러한 방법은 SCP에 저장된 지능망 서비스 프로파일들을 VLR로 다운로드 하여 사용자로부터의 지능망 서비스 요청시에 SCP로의 연결을 줄이는 것이다. 제시한 방법은 SCP/HLR의 부하를 감소시켜 지능망 서비스 관리면에서 IMT-2000 보다 훨씬 더 나은 성능을 보인다.Abstract As the communication technology has been developed, it is necessary to provide the IN service in the mobile network as well as the fixed network and many researches are in progress. In this paper we propose the network model to efficiently provide IN service in the mobile network. There are two signaling architectures between MSC/SSP and SCP/HLR. To show that it is efficient to provide the IN service in the proposed model, we propose IN service provision method using VLR and analyze the performance of IN service management in two architectures. These methods are to download the IN service profiles that are saved in SCP to VLR and to decrease the connection to SCP when the user requests the IN service. The proposed methods show that the load of SCP/HLR is decreased and our method is better than IMT-2000 in the aspect of IN service management.

GSM(Global System for Mobile communications) provides mobile users with portability and convenience as the most popular standard for mobile phones in the world. However, GSM system has the problem that can't normally authenticate a user by the exposure of IMSI(International Mobile Subscriber Identity) of Ms(Mobile station) during the user authentication procedure. In this paper, we propose secure user authentication by preventing the exposure if IMSI via transfer the encrypted IMSI from the HLR(Home Location Register) and making the only network entities verified from the HLR use the IMSI value, as the modified mechanism based on the original user authentication protocol to solve this authentication problem. Also the proposed mechanism provides fast user authentication without changing the architecture between new VLR and old VLR in the original GSM user authentication protocol as well as user's anonymity by using a temporary ID.
