GSM Location Update: MS New VLR HLR Old VLR

The document describes the GSM location update process. When a mobile set roams to a new VLR area, it sends its IMSI to the new VLR. The new VLR requests authentication information from the HLR, which responds with authentication triplets. The new VLR authenticates the mobile set and sends a location update request to the HLR, which updates the mobile's location and sends an acknowledgement to the new VLR. The HLR also cancels the location at the old VLR.
