Abstract
The present invention relates to a method and a controller for a radio communication system. The system comprises a plurality of location areas. The controller serves said location areas and mobile stations within said location areas. In accordance with the method a request for initiation of location area information update proceedings is received at the controller. The controller then verifies whether the mobile station is subjected to a simultaneous paging procedure. If a simultaneous paging procedure is detected, the location area information update proceedings are interrupted and an acknowledgement message is generated and transmitted, said message informing the mobile station that the location area information update proceedings are completed.
