Abstract
A system and method for directing mobile stations from an analog control channel (ACCH) to a digital control channel (DCCH). According to the present invention, a dual-mode mobile station transmits over the ACCH a system access message (e.g., registration access message) to the system. The system recognizes the access to be from a dual-mode mobile station and selects a DCCH based on the subscriber profile and current location of the mobile station. The system then sends over the ACCH a mobile station control message (e.g., registration confirmation message) including data identifying the selected DCCH to the mobile station.
