본 고에서는 디스크 기반의 정보검색시스템의 성능을 높이는 것을 목표로, 주기억장치 상주형 정보검색시스템에 적합한 주기억장치 기반의 인덱싱 기법을 비교 평가하고자 한다. 인덱스는 인덱스를 구성하는 키의 순서가 유지되는지의 여부에 따라 크게 두 종류로 나눌 수 있는데, 키가 일정한 순서로 유지되는 트리 계열과 키의 순서와 관계없이 무작위로 유지되는 해시 계열로 구분할 수 있다. 트리 계열 인덱스는 일정한 범위가 주어지는 연산을 처리할 때 유용하게 사용될 수 있으며, 해시 계열 인덱스는 특정한 키에 의한 빠른 데이터 접근을 제공한다. 트리 계열 인덱스로는 AVL 트리, B+ 트리, T 트리 등이 있으며, 해시 계열 인덱스로는 체인 버켓 해싱(Chained Bucket Hashing: CBH), 확장 해싱(Extendible Hashing: EH), 선형 해싱(Linear Hashing: LH), 수정된 선형 해싱(Modified Linear Hashing), 다중 디렉토리 해싱(Multi-directory Hashing) 및 확장된 체인 버켓 해싱(Extendible Chained Bucket Hashing: ECBH) 등이 있다.

A Home Location Register(HLR) database system manages each subscriber's location information, which continuously changes in a cellular network. For this purpose, the HLR database system provides table management, index management, and backup management facilities. In this thesis, we propose using a two-level index method for the mobile directory number(MDN) as a suitable method and a chained bucket hashing method for the electronic serial number(ESN). Both the MDN and the ESN are used as keys in the HLR database system. We also 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 R-tree index method. The insertion and deletion overhead of the chained bucket hashing method is less than that of the modified linear hashing method. In the proposed backup method, we use two kinds of dirty flags in order to solve the performance degradation problem caused by frequent registration-location operations. For a million subscribers, proposed techniques support reduction of memory size(more than 62%), directory operations (2500,000 times), and backup operations(more than 80%) compared with current techniques.

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 p개blems of the current HLR system through rigorous analysis, to suggest solutions 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 md 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 problem caused 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%.
