This transfer of information can be accomplished by the use of Transaction Capabilities\ (TC) and the SCCP of Signalling System\ No.\ 7. .PP When a land mobile station roams to a foreign PLMN, it registers with a Visited Location Register \ (VLR) within that PLMN. The only information available to the VLR to address the mobile's Home Location Register\ (HLR) is its International Mobile Station Identity\ (IMSI). .PP The purpose of this Recommendation therefore is to define the structure of the mobile global title used in SCCP addressing to the public land mobile service, and to establish the relationship between the mobile global title and the international mobile station identity as defined in Recommendation\ E.212. .RT .sp 2P .LP \fB2\fR \fBConsiderations\fR .sp 1P .RT .PP The considerations which form the basis of the Mobile Global Title\ (MGT) for the land mobile service are as follows: .RT .PP 2.1 The MGT shall be derived from the international mobile station identity in a simplified manner. .sp 9p .RT .PP 2.2 There could be a number of PLMNs in a country. .PP 2.3 The MGT shall permit the identification of the country as well as the PLMN in which the mobile station is registered. .PP 2.4 The MGT should, as an option, permit the identification of the home location register \ (HLR) of the mobile station. .PP 2.5 The length of the MGT should be minimized. .PP 2.6 The MGT should enable the fixed network exchanges to utilize existing routing information in order to identify the PLMN. .PP 2.7 Recommendations E.163, E.164, E.165, E.212 and E.213 are applicable. .sp 2P .LP \fB3\fR \fBGlobal title principles\fR .sp 1P .RT .sp 1P .LP 3.1 \fIStructure of the mobile global title\fR .sp 9p .RT .PP The mobile global title is of variable length and composed of decimal digits arranged in two specific parts. These specific parts are the E.164 and the E.212 part. .PP The E.164 part is used to identify the country and the PLMN, or PLMN and HLR, where the mobile station is registered. To accomplish this, the E.164\ part comprises a Country Code\ (CC), as defined in Recommendation\ E.163, and a Network Code\ (NC) which can be the National Destination Code\ (NDC), as defined in Recommendation\ E.164, or the NDC and some additional E.164 digits. The NC would identify the PLMN or HLR within the PLMN. The number of E.164 digits required for identification may vary from network to network, and must be established by bilateral agreement. .PP The E.212 part is used to identify the mobile station or mobile station and HLR and is composed of the mobile station identification number as defined in Recommendation\ E.212. .bp .PP Figure 1/E.214 shows the structure of the mobile global title. .RT .LP .rs .sp 16P .ad r \fBFigure\ 1/E.214, p.\fR .sp 1P .RT .ad b .RT .sp 1P .LP 3.2 \fIDerivation of the mobile global title\fR \fIfrom the\fR \fIinternational mobile station identity (IMSI)\fR .sp 9p .RT .PP The MGT is derived from the IMSI (Recommendation E.212) in the manner shown in Figure\ 2/E.214. .RT .LP .rs .sp 18P .ad r \fBFigure 2/E.214, p.\fR .sp 1P .RT .ad b .RT .PP Within the MGT the CC is derived directly from the MCC and the NC is derived either directly from the MNC, or from the MNC and some initial digits of the MSIN.
