Abstract

A method for messaging during Inter-VLR location updates wherein a mobile station (MS) sends to a Visitor Location Register (VLR) a Location Update message having a Temporary Mobile Subscriber Identity (TMSI) number embedded therein. The VLR records the TMSI and sends to the MS a Location Update Accept message void of a TMSI number.
