GPRS Attach Cont...

At GPRS attach a logical link is established between MS and SGSN, the GPRS attachment procedure in Figure 23. Figure 23 GPRS Attach

MS sends message to SGSN: "attach request". If the MS is not known by the SGSN it asks the old SGSN about the IMSI and triplets. If the MS is not known by the old SGSN it sends an error message to the new SGSN and the new SGSN asks MS about IMSI. SGSN authenticates MS. Update HLR (if new SGSN service area). Update MSC/VLR (only necessary if new LA). SGSN tell the MS about new TLLI (Temporary Location Link ID).
