Abstract

The invention provides a method and device which may perform a combined attach and communication connection establishment procedure when attaching (S 1 ) an equipment such as a mobile station to a mobile communication network. An attach request sent form the equipment may initiate this combined attach and communication connection establishment process (S 2 ). In the Home Location Register, communication connection parameters are set as default values which may be automatically selected (S 4 ), for instance when receiving a combined attach and communication connection establishment request. The combined attach and communication connection establishment process reduces the signaling load in the network and speeds up communication connection establishment.
