Abstract
A method for operating a wireless telecommunications system that is capable of providing both public wireless service and virtual private network service on existing IS-95 CDMA facilities without changes to the air interface, the hardware design or the protocols for interacting with home location registers. The method includes broadcasting an SID/NID signal to a wireless terminal, wherein the SID/NID signal is associated with a set of user zones; receiving from the wireless terminal: (1) a indicium of the wireless terminal's identity, and (2) a request to register the wireless terminal based on the SID/NID signal; transmitting the indicium of the wireless terminal's identity to a home location register; receiving from the home location register a prioritized list of user zones based on the indicium of the wireless terminal's identity; transmitting to the home location register a pseudo directory number that is based on a first user zone, which first user zone is the user zone that has the highest priority in the prioritized list of user zones and that is also a member of the set of user zones; and receiving from the home location register a feature set based on the pseudo directory number.
