<p>A method and system for selecting control channels from base stations located near a border (71) between radio telecommunications network (C,O). The system includes a first mobile switching center MSC (33) that services and controls a coverage area associated with a first radio telecommunications network (C), a plurality of base stations (34-49) located within the first radio telecommunications network, and a plurality of base stations (55-67) located within the second radio telecommunications network (D). Additionally, the system includes redirection logic (35) located within the first MSC which determines if a mobile station MS (69) from the second radio telecommunications network is attempting to access a base station in the first radio telecommunications network which is adjacent to the border between the first and second radio telecommunications networks and redirects the MS to access a control channel from a base station located within the second radio telecommunications network. The system may also include a second MSC with redirection logic for redirecting mobile stations to their home radio telecommunications network.</p> |
