Abstract
A method and apparatus for utilizing a distributed location register (20 or 22) within a wireless communication system (10) is accomplished by a distributed location register which receives a request for updating communication parameters of a particular communication entity, which may be a communication device, group of communication devices, or grouping of groups of communication devices, or for retrieval of communication parameters of the particular communication entity. To process the request, the distributed location register (20 or 22) interprets it to identify one of a plurality of communication service registers (28-32, 102-112, or 136-140) which stores the communication entity's communication parameters. Having identified a particular communication service register, the communication service register receives, and subsequently processes, the request to retrieve the communication parameters of interest and/or update the communication parameters of interest.
