MANAGING PAGES OF AN ACCESS TERMINAL WHEN THE ACCESS TERMINAL IS ENGAGED IN A COMMUNICATION SESSION WITHIN A WIRELESS COMMUNICATIONS SYSTEM

摘要

At least one embodiment of the invention is directed to communicating in a wireless communications system, including monitoring a communication session on a first network, ignoring pages from a second network during the communication session, the first and second network configured for operation on different physical layers, and upon termination of the communication session over the first network, selectively sending a query to an application server to request information related to failed attempts by the application server to contact the access terminal on the second network during the communication session.

1. A method of operating an access terminal that is configured to communicate with a wireless communications system, comprising:
monitoring, on a first physical layer, a first communication session on a first network; receiving at least one page that is transmitted, on a second physical layer that is different than the first physical layer, to the access terminal from a second network during the first communication session; pausing the first communication session over the first network; sending a response to the at least one page over the second network; receiving a call announcement message on the second network that announces a second communication session on the second network; determining whether to transition from the first communication session on the first network to the second communication session announced on the second network; and selectively transitioning to the second communication session based on the determining.
