Abstract

L'invention concerne un procédé de radiomessagerie et un système de communication. Lorsqu'un terminal utilisateur réalise de manière réussie un enregistrement conjoint, l'entité de gestion de mobilité d'enregistrement met à jour des informations d'emplacement du terminal d'utilisation auprès d'un registre d'emplacement de visiteur, et envoie les informations d'emplacement du terminal d'utilisation à une entité de gestion de mobilité de secours réglée pour le terminal utilisateur, de façon à réaliser une sauvegarde. Lorsque le terminal utilisateur a un service terminé mobile (MT CS) et que l'entité de gestion de mobilité d'enregistrement courante du terminal utilisateur a une anomalie ou est hors service, le registre d'emplacement de visiteur lance une requête de radiomessagerie à destination de l'entité de gestion de mobilité de secours. L'entité de gestion de mobilité de secours peut lancer une radiomessagerie à destination du terminal d'utilisation selon les informations d'emplacement stockées précédemment du terminal utilisateur.
