3.2.2.3 Optimizing the method
A table look-up may be avoided in some cases if both the HLR and the VLR stores for each subscriber the
version of the AC-name used at location updating. Then:
- for procedures which make use of the same application-context, the same AC-name (thus the same
version) can be selected (without any table look-up) when the procedure is triggered;
- for procedures which make use of a different application-context but which includes one of the
packages used by the location updating AC, the same version can be selected (without any
table look-up) when the procedure is triggered;
for HLR:
for VLR:
- Subscriber data modification (stand alone);
- Data Restoration.
