Method for transferring data
First Claim
1. A method of processing permanent identifiers, comprising:
- a) storing at least one permanent identifier of a first type, permanent identifiers of the first type being expanded permanent identifiers;
b) receiving a permanent identifier of the first type and a permanent identifier of a second type;
c) determining if a predetermined portion of the received permanent identifier of the first type matches a corresponding portion in one of the stored permanent identifiers of the first type;
d) sending the received permanent identifiers of the first and second types to a destination entity if the step c) determines a match exists;
e) storing a permanent identifier of the second type associated with each stored permanent identifier of the first type;
f) determining if the received permanent identifier of the second type matches the stored permanent identifier of the second type associated with the stored permanent identifier of the first type that the step c) determined had a corresponding portion which matched the predetermined portion of the received permanent identifier of the first type when the step c) determines a match exists; and
wherein the step d) sends the received permanent identifiers of the first and second types to a destination entity associated with the received permanent identifier of the first type when the step c) determines a match exists and the step f) determines that a match does not exist.

Abstract
The method for transferring data sends the data as part of first and second permanent identifiers during a communication procedure prior to establishing a traffic channel in the communication system. Besides the data, the first permanent identifier includes routing information to a home system forming part of the communication system. The second permanent identifier is an expanded permanent identifier with the data forming at least part of the expanded portion thereof. Based at least on recognizing a portion of the second permanent identifier, a home system sends the first and second permanent identifiers to a destination entity. The destination entity extracts the data from the first and second permanent identifiers. In this manner, a traffic channel does not need to be established to transmit the data.
