Abstract
A mobile station in a wireless communication network registers periodically with the network by sending a registration message to the network on a control channel. After a predetermined consecutive number of registration attempts are made by the mobile station without a registration response from the base station, the mobile station leaves the current control channel and searches for a new control channel on which to acquire service. After acquiring service on the new control channel, the mobile station can register with the network to recover service.
