Method and system for updating of home-zone list automatically in mobile telecommunication system
First Claim
1. A method for updating a home-zone list in a subscriber database according to a change in a cell configuration in a cellular mobile telecommunication system equipped with a home-zone service center for defining a region with differential charges as a home-zone and controlling home-zone services, the method comprising the steps of:
- determining at least one base station with system parameters being modified in response to a change in cell configuration;
selecting at least one subscriber being under the influence of changes in said base station;
generating a home-zone list including at least one home-zone base station providing a home-zone service to every selected subscriber; and
updating a database of the subscriber based on the generated home-zone list,said base station with base station system parameter going through a modification due to the change in the cell configuration, being selected from a group consisting essentially of at least one of a base station under expansion or moving, neighbor base stations of the base station under expansion or moving, and neighbor base stations of a base station being dismantled.

Abstract
A method and system is for automatically updating a home-zone list in a subscriber database as the configuration of a cell changes in a cellular mobile telecommunication system mounted with a home-zone service center. Specifically, the method includes the steps of deciding at least one base station having a base station system parameter according to a change in the cell configuration because of expansion, moving or dismantlement of a base station, selecting at least one subscriber who is under the influence of changes in the base station, generating a home-zone list including at least one home-zone base station that can provide a home-zone service to every selected subscriber, and updating a database of the subscriber based on the generated home-zone list. Therefore, the present invention enables to update the home-zone list that is necessary to provide the best quality home-zone services to the subscribers every time the configuration of the cell changes, thereby applying a subscriber home-zone list more accurately and fast.
