Generic It happens, if LAI present in mobile SIM & LAI received via control channels during network broadcast are different. The mobile starts a Location Update process by accessing the MSC/VLR that sent the location data. A channel request message is sent that contains the subscriber identity (i.e. IMSI/TMSI) and the LAI stored in the SIM card. When the target MSC/VLR receives the request, it reads the old LAI which identifies the MSC/VLR that has served the mobile phone up to this point. A signaling connection is established between the two MSC/VLRs and the subscribers IMSI is transferred from the old MSC to the new MSC. Using this IMSI, the new MSC requests the subscriber data from the HLR and then updates the VLR and HLR after successful authentication.
Periodic It is carried when the network does not receive any location update request from the mobile in a specific time. A timer controls the periodic updates and the operator of the VLR sets the timer value. The network broadcasts this timer value so that a mobile station knows the periodic location update timer values & when the set time is up, the mobile station initiates a registration process by sending a location update request

signal. The VLR receives the request and confirms the registration of the mobile in the same location area. If the mobile station does not follow this procedure, it could be that the batteries of the mobile are exhausted or the subscriber is in an area where there is no network coverage. In such a case, the VLR changes the location data of the mobile station to unknown.
