Apparatus, and associated method, for updating a location register in a mobile, packet radio communication system
First Claim
1. A method for updating a location register with an updated position of a mobile station operable in a packet radio communication system operable to communicate real-time-protocol-formatted data, the packet radio communication system defining a first location area formed of a first set of cells and at least a second location area formed of at least a second set of cells the first and at least second location areas, respectively, separated by a location boundary, said method comprising:
- determining in the mobile station when a request to update the location register should be initiated;
generating an RAS-protocol (registration admission status-protocol-formatted) request to update the location register with the updated position of the mobile station responsive to a determination made during said operation of determining that the request to update should be initiated;
determining whether to grant the update request;
selectably updating the location register with the updated position of the mobile station responsive to the RAS-protocol-formatted request generated during said operation of generating; and
confirming, the updating of the location register, with an RAS-protocol-formatted confirmation message, if the location register is updated.

Abstract
Apparatus, and an associated method, for updating a location register with an updated position of a mobile station operable in an H.323-based, radio communication system. RAS-protocol (registration, admissions, status-protocol) messages are generated in a H.323 network to effectuate the updating of the location register.

17. In a packet radio communication system operable to communicate real-time-protocol-formatted data and in which a first location area formed of a first set of cells and at least a second location area formed of at least a second set of cells are defined, the first and second location areas, respectively, separated by a location boundary and a mobile station operable to communicate in the communication system, an improvement of an assembly for updating a location register with an updated position of the mobile station, said assembly comprising:
-
a location register update request detector coupled to receive indications of a RAS-protocol-formatted (registration admission status-protocol-formatted) request to update the location register with the updated position of the mobile station;
a location-register updated request generator coupled to said location register request detector, said location-register update request generator for generating a RAS-protocol update request for initiating a determination of whether to grant the request and update updating the location register with the updated position of the mobile station. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19)
