If I understand correctly your iPhone is connected to your cellular carrier, and you are using the Personal Hotspot as a Wi-Fi router. In that scenario any problem is with your cellular network connection, so the place to go for help is your carrier. Note that if the Personal Hotspot connection is idle for a period of time it will disconnect to limit power drain and cellular usage.
