Island-type cellular-based mobile communication arrangement, has MSC to provide special service to mobile device by reading mobile station integrated services digital network of mobile device recorded in island Visitor Location Register

摘要

The communication arrangement comprises; Base Transceiver Stations (BTSs) controlled by an island Base Station Controller (BSC); a Mobile Switching Center (MSC); and an island Visitor Location Register (VLR). A mobile communication device asks the MSC for location updating on entering an island cell, and the VLR records a mobile station integrated services digital network (MSISDN) of the device on completion of location updating. The MSC provides a special service e.g. short message service (SMS), multimedia message service, to the mobile communication device by reading the MSISDNs recorded in the island VLR.
