Abstract
A method of adapting assignment of user equipments (UEs) to home location registers (HLRs) in a wireless communication network. The method comprises receiving location messages from a UE by an application executing on a computer system, where each of the location messages comprise information about a location of the UE at a date and time, analyzing the information about the locations of the UE by the application, selecting a HLR assignment rule based on a user profile associated with the UE by the application, applying the selected HLR assignment rule to the analysis of the information about locations of the UE by the application to determine a preferred HLR in the wireless communication network for the UE, and reassigning the UE from a previously assigned HLR to the preferred HLR by the application.
