System and method of messaging using min escape codes
First Claim
1. A method of providing communication between a mobile terminal and a wireless communications system including a Mobile Switching Center (MSC) and a base station comprising:
- sending a message from the MSC to the mobile terminal using a 10 digit identifier for identifying the mobile terminal, the 10 digit identifier being a 10 digit Mobile Identity Number (MIN); and
sending a message from the mobile terminal to the MSC in response to the message sent from the MSC using a 15 digit MIN-based International Mobile Station Identity (IMSI) identifier for identifying the mobile terminal, wherein the 15 digit MIN-based IMSI includes a 5 digit MIN Escape Code (MEC) and the MIN.

Abstract
A method providing communication between an MSC and a mobile terminal in a wireless communications system including using the 10 digit MIN identifier for identifying the mobile terminal in all messages requiring a mobile terminal identifier sent from the MSC via a base station to the mobile terminal and using the 15 digit MIN-based IMSI identifier for identifying the mobile terminal in all messages requiring a mobile terminal identifier sent from the mobile terminal via the base station to the MSC. The method can also include deploying the use of 15 digit MIN-based IMSI identifiers in one MSC at a time. The invention also includes a system for providing mobile terminal identification information in a wireless system. The system includes a mobile terminal capable of receiving and responding to messages using a 10 digit MIN for identifying the mobile terminal and sending messages having a MIN-based IMSI identifier for identifying the mobile terminal. The system also includes an MSC capable of receiving and processing messages from the mobile terminal having the MIN-based IMSI identifier and sending messages to the mobile terminal using the 10 digit MIN identifier.
