Abstract
A method and an arrangement for semipermanent storage of a service profile in personal communication systems. A service profile which defines the services accessible to the user is tied to each user in the system. The service profiles are stored permanently in the home database of the respective user. To reduce signalling in the network, parts of the permanent service profiles are copied in order to be stored semipermanently in other databases according to the disclosed method. Enquiries relating to an answering user are tracked by the database unit in the home network part of the answering user in order to detect the geographic position of the network nodes which originate the enquiries and the respective enquiry intensity. Information from the service profile of a respective answering subscriber is copied and sent to the database unit which is located closest to the enquiring node when the enquiry intensity has reached a certain value from one and the same node.
