Abstract:
A system, methods, nodes and computer program for redistributing a registration of a UE from a first MSC to a second MSC is provided. The first MSC and the second MSCs are members of a pool of MSCs. The UE is registered in the first MSC and is attached to the first MSC via a packet control node such as MME or SGSN. The first MSC receives an order from an O&M center to redistribute the registrations of UEs in the pool. The first MSC sends a redistribution order to the packet control node. The packet control node triggers the UE to perform a routing or tracking area update procedure and triggers a location area update procedure to the second MSC, causing the UE to be registered to the second MSC.
