Abstract

TIA IS-136 specifies the assignment to mobile stations (14) of a unique international mobile station identification (IMSI) in addition to a mobile identification number (MIN). The IMSI number is communicated from the mobile station to the network, and is processed by the network to provide for nonambiguous subscriber identification. Accordingly, the IMSI number is transmitted by the mobile station during registration (104), and processed during authentication (102, 110) to insure accurate and unique subscriber identification. Once registered with an IMSI instead of a MIN, the network utilizes the IMSI during subsequent call handling to insure, for example, proper call delivery and handoff.

Claims (15)

1. A method for cellular telephone network operation comprising the steps of:
receiving from a mobile station an identification of that mobile station comprising an international mobile station identity (IMSI) number; and utilizing of the international mobile station identity number by the network to provide for unambiguous identification of the mobile station associated therewith during network operation.
2. The method as in claim 1 wherein the step of utilizing comprises the step of deriving a mobile identification number (MIN) for the mobile station from the received international mobile station identity number associated with that mobile station.
3. The method as in claim 2 wherein the step of utilizing further comprises the step of utilizing the derived mobile identification number in providing network operation functions such as call delivery, registration, authentication and handoff.
4. The method as in claim 1 wherein the step of utilizing comprises the step of identifying the mobile station by its associated international mobile station identity number during registration of the mobile station with the network.
5. The method as in claim 1 wherein the step of utilizing comprises the step of identifying the mobile station by its associated international mobile station identity number during authentication of the mobile station with the network.
6. The method as in claim 1 wherein the step of utilizing comprises the step of identifying the mobile station by its associated international mobile station identity number during handoff by the network of a voice or data call communication with the mobile station.
7. The method as in claim 1 wherein the step of utilizing comprises the step of identifying the mobile station by its associated international mobile station identity number during delivery by the network of a voice or data call communication to the mobile station.
8. The method as in claim 1 wherein the step of utilizing comprises the step of identifying the mobile station by its associated international mobile station identity number during release by the network of a voice or data call communication with the mobile station.
9. The method as in claim 1 wherein the step of utilizing comprises the step of identifying the mobile station by its associated international mobile station identity number when requesting that a unique challenge be made by the network to the mobile station.
10. The method as in claim 1 wherein the step of utilizing comprises the step of identifying the mobile station by its associated international mobile station identity number when reporting on a failure to authenticate the mobile station.
11. The method as in claim 1 wherein the step of utilizing comprises the step of identifying the mobile station by its associated international mobile station identity number when requesting a call history count relating to the mobile station.
12. The method as in claim 1 wherein the step of utilizing comprises the step of identifying the mobile station by its associated international mobile station identity number when directing the network to provide a special notification to the mobile station.
13. The method as in claim 1 wherein the step of utilizing comprises the step of identifying the mobile station by its associated international mobile station identity number when directing the network to engage in an intersystem paging operation.
14. The method as in claim 1 wherein the step of utilizing comprises the step of identifying the mobile station by its associated international mobile station identity number when re-confirming mobile station authorization.
15. The method as in claim 1 wherein the step of utilizing comprises the step of identifying the mobile station by its associated international mobile station identity number when requesting validation of the mobile station.
