<p>Devices and methods are provided for handling a visitor access terminal (AT) associated with a macro network, in response to the visitor AT entering a coverage area of an access point (AP) base station. In one approach, the method involves allowing the visitor AT to reside on a carrier channel while in idle mode, enabling registration of the visitor AT, and forwarding registration information regarding the registration to the macro network. Upon activation of the visitor AT, facilitating communication between the visitor AT and the macro network may be facilitated by, for example, forwarding a paging request to the visitor AT based at least in part on the registration information.</p> |
