Abstract
The invention provides a method of registering a cellular phone in a mobile vehicle while in a quiescent mode. Whether timer-based registration is enabled is determined. Whether one of a counter or an interval timer has reached a predetermined threshold is determined based on the timer-based registration determination. The cellular phone is registered during the next wake state when the predetermined threshold has been reached.
