Information on Affiliation

When a mobile station is switched on, it looks for available base stations. It chooses the most appropriate base station (usually the one whose power level is highest), and sends a message to this base station to affiliate to the network. The base station passes this information on to the mobile switching center, which keeps a database of currently affiliated mobile stations.
