-* if subscriber has only one pseudo IMSI:
- * abort if not enough IMSIs available
- * generate new pseudo IMSI as described earlier
- * set imsi_pseudo_i like last one + 1
-* send SMS to subscriber's SIM with newer pseudo IMSI
+If the subscriber has only one pseudonymous IMSI allocated, and the amount of
+available IMSIs in the HLR is high enough, a second pseudonymous IMSI and
+related imsi_pseudo_i gets allocated for the subscriber (as described in
+<<hlr-imsi-pseudo-storage>>).
+
+If the subscriber still has only one pseudonymous IMSI, because not enough
+IMSIs were available in the HLR, the process is aborted here and no SMS with
+a next pseudonymous IMSI is sent to the subscriber. The subscriber will get a
+new pseudonymous IMSI during the next Location Updating Procedure, if the HLR
+has enough IMSIs available at that point.
+
+An SMS is sent to the SMS - Service Centre (SMS-SC) with the newer pseudonymous
+IMSI (higher imsi_pseudo_i, see <<hlr-imsi-pseudo-i>>) and related
+imsi_pseudo_i value.
