  • Wireless communications network, home location register and method having an improved signal strength arbitration scheme
    Patent number: 6731934
    Abstract: A wireless communications network, a home location register and a method are provided that have an improved signal strength arbitration scheme which can ensure that a mobile terminal is registered at the most appropriate mobile switching center. In particular, the home location register includes a database coupled to a processor capable of implementing a signal strength arbitration scheme that assigns a provisional quality value to a registration signal that was received from a mobile switching center which failed to include a quality parameter within the registration signal, wherein that mobile switching center may now be considered and possibly registered as the most appropriate mobile switching center to process a wireless call of a mobile terminal that broadcasted a registration access signal to a plurality of mobile switching centers.
