If the "follow-on" indicator is received and MSC supports "follow-on" feature, the Page_MS_MSC procedure should return FAIL after sending Page MS negative response (cause Busy Subscriber) to VLR.
Otherwise, the MSC should delay the launching of Page_MS_MSC procedure until the location update procedure ends.

Sheet 1: the test "SMS or SS page" is not required for the handling of circuit-switched calls, because the VLR will always use a page type of "circuit-switched call", but the more generalized procedure Search_For_MS_MSC is equally applicable to paging for SMS delivery or network-initiated SS procedures.
Sheet 1: If the MSC supports the option to delay the Mobile Terminating CM request during a location update procedure (see 3GPP TS 24.008 [13] clause 4.5.1.3.1 Mobile Terminating CM Activity):
If location update procedure is ongoing for the MS, and if the "follow-on" indicator is received and the MSC supports the "follow-on" feature, the Search_MS_MSC procedure should return FAIL after sending Search MS negative response (cause Busy Subscriber) to VLR.
Otherwise, the MSC should delay the launching of Search_MS_MSC procedure until location update procedure ends.
– If the result of location update is successful and location update is not through Gs interface, then the Search_MS_MSC procedure returns with PASS.
– If the result of location update is successful and location update is through Gs interface, then the procedure continues from the beginning of the Page_MS_MSC procedure.
