A wireless network of a first type receives a request for network entry from a mobile station. A service continuity query is sent to a service node. A service continuity response is received from the service node. The service continuity response includes a network access identifier. The network access identifier is determined to be associated with an existing session on a wireless network of a second type. The existing session is using a mobile internet protocol address. On the wireless network of the first type, a session is assigned the mobile internet protocol address.

Cross-technology session continuity

In various embodiments, systems and methods are provided for a wireless device to acquire a wireless channel in wireless communication system. In an embodiment, the wireless device obtains a first wireless communication channel to operate on a first wireless network from a first wireless channel table where the first wireless communication channel is associated with a geographic identifier. The wireless device saves the geographic identifier and obtains a second wireless communication channel to operate on a second wireless network from a second wireless channel table using the geographic identifier where the second wireless communication channel is associated with the geographic identifier.
