Method and apparatus for providing a communication path using a paging network

摘要

A system for providing a communication path includes a platform, a paging network, a mobile unit, and a mobile voice communications network. The platform delivers a paging signal comprising call setup information to a page receiver of the mobile unit using the paging network. A transceiver of the mobile unit selects a particular NAM in response to the call setup information and registers with the network using the selected NAM to enable the establishment of a communication path between the platform and the mobile unit.
