PAGING AND ACCESS VIA DIFFERENT NODES

摘要

Signaling-only access may be established with an access node (104) under certain circumstances such as, for example, upon determining that a node (102) is not authorized for data access at the access node (102). A node (104) that is not authorized for data access at an access node (104) may still be paged by the access node (104) through the use of signaling-only access. In this way, transmissions by the access node (104) may not interfere with the reception of pages at the node (302). A first node may be selected for providing paging (102) while a second node (106) is selected for access (304) under certain circumstances such as, for example, upon determining that the second node provides more desirable service than the first node.
