Abstract
A request for registration by a User Equipment (UE) to a cellular network is handled. The geographical coverage of the cellular network is divided into a plurality of tracking areas, each tracking area having a respective identifier. A registration request message is communicated from the UE to the cellular network via an access node. Where the registration request is rejected, a registration rejection message is communicated in response. The registration request message and/or the registration rejection message includes the identifier for each of one or more tracking areas to which the respective message applies.
