ABSTRACT:
A GPRS interworking and interoperability function (IIF) is interposed between a serving GSM/GPRS wireless system and a second wireless system of a different technology family to allow a mobile station homed to the second wireless system to operate in the GSM/GPRS system. The IIF executes or emulates the behavior of a GPRS HLR when communicating with the GSM/GPRS system, and executes or emulates the behavior of an MSC/VLR of the home system technology family when communicating with the home system. When a mobile station registers in the serving system, the MSC/VLR portion of the IIF transmits a registration notification message to the home system HLR specifying the address of an associated SGSN as though it were an MSC.
