description The Home Location Register (HLR), Authentication Center (AUC), and Home Subscriber Server (HSS) are critical components within mobile telecommunications networks, each serving distinct yet interconnected purposes. HLR: It functions as a centralized database that stores subscriber information, including user profiles, subscription details, and current locations. It plays a key role in call routing, mobility management, and subscriber authentication. AUC: It is responsible for ensuring the security of the network by managing the encryption keys used in the authentication and encryption processes. It authenticates users and protects the confidentiality of communications by generating and verifying authentication tokens. HSS: It serves as a unified database that contains subscriber information and supports authentication and authorization functions. It integrates the functionalities of the HLR and AUC in the evolving architecture of these advanced mobile networks. Together, the HLR, AUC, and HSS contribute to the overall efficiency, security, and management of subscriber information in mobile networks. The Scheme GCS, Group C for HLR, AUC, and HSS is crucial in mobile networks, ensuring the secure and efficient management of subscriber information and authentication processes. This scheme establishes standardized specifications for the design and interoperability of these components. Compliance with Group C ensures that these elements consistently meet performance standards, facilitating smooth and secure mobile communication. Adherence to this scheme supports the creation of a standardized and interoperable environment for these critical components, ensuring the reliability and security of mobile services in a consistent manner. The GCS Scheme, Group C, is fundamental for advancing the overall efficiency and security of these network elements in the dynamic landscape of mobile telecommunications. Note: Manufacturers of HLR AUC HSS are required to obtain the mandatory TEC Certification to sell their products in the Indian market.
