also be provided as one of IWF (MSC Server) functions.

Below are steps for UE Registrations :

UE Registers in LTE Network
Presenting the MME registers with HSS
Presenting the MME sends combine attach request to CS fallback
IWF (MSC Server)
CS fallback IWF (MSC Server) accepts the registration
The UE are registered and active
IWF (MSC Server) will function to reply all messages from MME
