Systems and methods of extending base station coverage are provided. Idle mode mobile stations supported by a base station are identified, and at least one of the idle mode mobile stations is selected based on a location of the at least one idle mode mobile station. A communication with an active mode mobile station that is associated with the at least one idle mode mobile station is established.
