Abstract

The present invention is to provide a home subscriber server configuration method and system that is accessible in switching to any one of plural HSS servers in a redundant configuration. Information stored in such plural HSS servers (e.g., HSS-A serverA and HSS-B serverB) are synchronized as identical information. When an interrogation for a particular HSS server to be accessed from the I-CSCF serveror the S-CSCF serveris received, the access information for the plural HSS serversA,B corresponding to the interrogation is returned after rearranging to the predetermined order of priority to the I-CSCF serveror the S-CSCF serverfrom which the inquiry is originated. If no response is received from either one of the HSS servers returned from the SLF serverwithin a predetermined time after the access or if no response is received to the resend operations, the I-CSCF serveror the S-CSCF serverselects the next HSS server from the plural HSS servers and gains access to such HSS server after switching thereto.
