Abstract
A method and apparatus for home location register fault recovery in a system which uses a gateway location register to reduce signaling between visitor location registers and home location registers. When a home location register is recovering from a fault, the home location register sends a reset message to the gateway location registers which are serving mobile subscribers associated with the home location register. The gateway location register sends a reset message to visitor location registers which are serving mobile subscribers associated with the home location register. The gateway location register can determine which mobile subscribers are associated with the home location register by comparing mobile subscriber identification information stored in the gateway location register with information contained in the reset message from the home location register.
