4 Restoration of data in the VLR
The effect on service of failure of a VLR is different from the effect of failure of an HLR. The procedures for restoration of a VLR and an HLR are therefore different.

4.0 VLR Failure with Restart
When a VLR fails, all its associations with SGSNs affected by the failure become invalid and may be deleted. Based on configuration data, the MSC/VLR sends a BSSAP+ Reset message to each of its associated SGSNs. The SGSNs mark all associations containing the restarted VLR as invalid. For an MS that is both GPRS-attache...

4.1 Restart of the VLR
When a VLR restarts after a failure, all IMSI records affected by the failure are erased. There will be no subscriber data or location information stored for an affected mobile station until after the VLR has received either a "Provide Roaming Number" request or an "Update location Area" request for that mobile station...

23.007
4.2.0 General
The objective of the restoration procedure is to handle all traffic for each mobile subscriber correctly. In order to meet this objective, the procedure must make the subscriber data in the VLR consistent with that in the HLR or in the CSS, and make the location information in the HLR and VLR or the location informatio...

4.2.1 Incoming Call
a) Send Routing Information (GMSC->HLR): The HLR sends "Provide Roaming Number" to the VLR as for normal operation. The LMSI is updated by the VLR when the VLR requests the transfer of subscriber data from the HLR using the "Restore Data" operation. b) Provide Roaming Number (HLR->VLR): - Regardless of whether the VLR ...

4.2.2 Mobile Terminated Short Message
a) Send Routing Information for MT SMS (SMS-GMSC->HLR): The HLR returns the MSC number as for normal operation. b) Send Information for MT SMS (MSC->VLR) - MAP version 2: - If the VLR has no IMSI record, or if the record is marked "Subscriber Data Not Confirmed by HLR", the VLR proceeds as follows: - the VLR returns an...

4.2.3 Mobile Terminating Location Request (MT-LR)
Receipt of an MT-LR for a target MS identified by its IMSI in a serving MSC during VLR restoration is supported by the procedures below. a) Provide Subscriber Location (GMLC->MSC/VLR): - If the VLR has no IMSI record, or if the record is marked "Subscriber Data Not Confirmed by HLR" the VLR returns an "Unidentified Sub...

4.2.4 Incoming LCS Information Request (GSM only)
Receipt of an incoming BSSMAP-LE LMU Connection Request from an SMLC directed to a specific Type A LMU is supported by the procedures below. a) Request associated with an LMU (SMLC->MSC/VLR): - If the VLR has no IMSI record, or if the record is marked "Subscriber Data Not Confirmed by HLR", the VLR returns an "Unidenti...

4.2.5 Outgoing MS request
An outgoing request (MS originated call, mobile originated Short Message or call-independent supplementary service activity) from the MS causes the VLR to check its IMSI record for that MS. - If the MS is unknown in this VLR (i.e. the VLR has no IMSI record for the MS) or there is an IMSI record marked "Subscriber Data...

4.2.6 Outgoing LMU Request (GSM only)
An outgoing request (CM ServiceRequest) for LCS from a Type A LMU causes the VLR to check its IMSI record for that LMU. - If the LMU is unknown in this VLR (i.e. the VLR has no IMSI record for the LMU) or there is an IMSI record marked "Subscriber Data Not Confirmed by HLR" the outgoing request is rejected with error c...

4.2.7 Location Updating or IMSI Attach
A location registration request (location updating or IMSI attach) from an MS causes the VLR to check its IMSI record for that MS. - If the MS is unknown in this VLR (i.e. the VLR has no IMSI record for the MS) the VLR creates a skeleton IMSI record for the MS and sets the indicators "Confirmed by Radio Contact", "Loca...

4.2.8 Use of TMSI
After the VLR has restarted but before the next authenticated radio contact the TMSI known by the MS is invalid, as it was allocated before the VLR restarted. The VLR therefore uses the IMSI to identify the MS on the first radio contact during restoration. - A VLR which initiates a "Search for Subscriber" procedure use...

4.2.9 SGSN associations
Based on configuration data, "Reset" messages are sent on the Gs-interface to the SGSNs in the Location Areas served by the VLR as described in the 3GPP TS 29.018 [7]. The SGSNs mark all associations with the VLR as unreliable by setting the restoration indicator "VLR-Reliable" to "False" for the UEs served by that VLR...

Based on configuration data, "Reset" messages are sent on the SGs-interface to the MMEs by the VLR as described in the 3GPP TS 29.118 [14]. The MMEs mark all associations with the VLR as unreliable by setting the restoration indicator "VLR-Reliable" to "False" for the UEs served by that VLR. The associations will be re...

5 Restoration of data in the HLR/HSS
The loss or corruption of subscriber data in the HLR/HSS has an impact not only in the HLR/HSS's own PLMN but also on the service for its mobiles in other PLMNs. Restoration of the data in the HLR/HSS requires co-operation from all the VLRs, SGSNs and MMEs at which its mobiles are registered.
