Transmitting subscriber identity in mobile communication system

摘要

A network element, such as a visitor location register (VLR), for a mobile communication network is adapted to receive a request for routing information (3). In order to enable transmission of the identity of a subscriber A to subscriber B even if call set-up does not support transmission of calling subscriber identity, the network element is adapted to receive an identity of a subscriber A, contained in the request for routing information (3); and to transmit the identity of subscriber A to a mobile switching centre (MSC) serving subscriber B, to be forwarded to subscriber B.
