Abstract

A telecommunication system is architecturally sub-divided into the concepts of user, subscription and terminal. A database within a cellular radio telecommunication system is provided with separate and independent storage registers for storing information relating to each of user, subscription and terminal. An user register is provided for user information, a terminal register is provided for terminal information and a subscription register is provided for subscription information. The use of three separate registers within the system allow several terminals to be associated with one user, several users to be associated with one terminal, several subscriptions to be associated with one user, and several users to be selectively associated with one subscription.
