Abstract

A system and method for stopping call setup in a mobile telecommunication system having a home location register (HLR), a visiting mobile switching center (V-MSC) and a subscriber mobile station (MS). Upon determining that a call to the subscriber mobile station is being dropped by the calling party, or upon determining that calls are not to be routed to the mobile station when the mobile station is located in the service area of the V-MSC, a release resources message is transmitted to the HLR and the V-MSC stopping the paging process or releasing the system resources, including any such resources associated with seizure of a voice channel between the V-MSC and the MS.
