  1. Распределенная коммуникационная сеть включает в себя коммутационные станции, спутники, движущиеся по орбитам, а также устройства управления информацией об абоненте (УИА). Некоторое множество мобильных устройств (МУ) обменивается сообщениями через эту сеть. МУ автоматически определяет свое местоположение и обменивается сообщениями с сетью так, что эта информация является текущей на КС, обслуживающих МУ, и в локальных УИА для МУ. Наземные узлы сети располагают информацией, которая показывает, какие из МУ зарегистрированы в сети в любой данный момент. Эта информация используется для блокировки вызовов, направляемых на МУ, о которых известно, что их регистрация прекращена. Телефонная связь устанавливается путем взаимодействия между КС. В процессе установления связи с МУ, КС, с которых поступает вызов, определяют соответствующие УИА и получают данные о текущем местоположении этих МУ относительно УИА. Это текущее местоположение соответствует КС, на которую направляется вызов и с которой может взаимодействовать КС, посылающей вызов, при установлении телефонной связи.
