Purge MS
When an GPRS Update Location failed or was not accepted by the HLR, a Purge MS procedure is initiated. The Purge MS procedure is initiated by the SGSN to inform the HLR that it is about to remove a MS. 6.2.1 Traffic Case

The Purge MS procedure is shown in Figure 3.

Figure 3

Purge MS

The SGSN detaches the MS if not already detached. In case of rejection, cause code #7, GPRS service not allowed, is returned to the MS, in a Detach Reject message.

1. The SGSN informs the HLR through a Purge MS message of its intent to delete 2. 3.
a subscriber record. The HLR returns a Purge MS Response message to the SGSN, indicating that the HLR has acknowledge the request. The SGSN deletes its subscriber record, even if it receives no Purge MS Response message from the HLR.
