 VLR Number
 LMSI

11
MSRN

received MSISDN and then requests the MSRN
from the HLR
 TRUE
 FALSE

Handover
 How an active call may continue without a due location
update?
 A location update is only meant for the network to know
about the location of an MS

29
Handover
 Which network component detects that an MSC-controlled
handover is necessary and informs the MSC-1

 MSC1 30
Handover
 MSC1 requests a Hand Over Number HON from MSC2
 HON is like MSRN and its only important in case of inter-
MSC handover
 It is used by MSC1 for setting up traffic channel connection
with MSC2
 Which component in the following figure provides the
HON?

31
Handover
 It is provided by the new VLR
 MSC2 requests its VLR to provide HON and the BSC to
provide radio channel for handover

32
Handover
 The radio channel data and HON are sent back to MSC1

 With HON MSC1 can establish a traffic channel to MSC2.


The connection is supplemented until BTS

33
Handover
 MSC1 then informs the MS about the radio channel to
which it must switch over

 The connection to the old BTS is released

34
Handover

setup?
