Patent Images
1. A router configured for use in a wireless network providing telecommunication services to mobile stations operated by subscribers to said telecommunication services, said router comprising:
- a microprocessor; and
a mass storage device coupled to said microprocessor, said mass storage device containing a network entity file and a routing translation file, said network entity file contains addresses of entities accessible to said router and said translation file is used to store translations from a mobile switching equipment dialable number to an address of one of said entities;
wherein, upon receiving information regarding a call to a subscriber for which a translation is not present in the translation table, said microprocessor automatically updates, without human intervention, said translation table to provide a translation for the subscriber.

7. A method of managing routing information in a wireless network, comprising:
-
(a) receiving a request for routing information for a subscriber'"'"'s mobile switching equipment (“
MS”
);
(b) determining whether a translation exists in a translation file for the MS, the translation translating a dialable number associated with the MS to a network entity containing location information as to the MS'"'"'s current location; and
(c) if no translation currently exists in the translation file, sending messages to a plurality of network entities to determine which of the entities contains the desired current location information for the MS. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10, 11, 12)

13. A wireless network providing telecommunication service to a plurality of mobile switching equipment, comprising:
-
a first router;
a plurality of second routers coupled to said first router; and
a plurality of network entities coupled to said second routers;
wherein the first router has access to a network entity file and a routing translation file, said network entity file contains addresses of said second routers and said translation file is used to store translations from a mobile switching equipment dialable number to an address of one of said network entities which contains location information pertaining to the mobile switching equipment; and
further wherein, upon receiving information regarding a call to a subscriber for which a translation is not present in the translation table, said first router automatically updates, without human intervention, said translation table to provide a translation for the subscriber. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18)
