Abstract
An improved client locating and user discovery system is disclosed. Methods and systems are described that provide the ability for a telecommunications network to frequently update the location data for telecommunications units within the network, while preventing the performance degradation that is inherent in the prior art. In the patented invention, the most frequently updated data is stored outside the main database in active memory in a tree structure, and is accessed through an API that converts the tree data into a database query language readable format.
