Abstract

A frequently moving mobile user in GSM must re-register at the HLR frequently, and, therefore, the signaling traffic is overhead and HLR database update cost raised. In this paper, the authors propose a new authentication protocol, based on pointer forwarding to reduce the HLR update cost and traffic load for the MS authentication protocol. The proposed protocol for GSM can achieve some objectives described in Introduction. Compared with other authentication protocols, our protocol is efficient. Copyright © 2007 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
