Abstract
A wireless communication system provides call routing when the connection to a core network is lost. A base station wirelessly exchanges data packets associated with one or more communication sessions with one or more wireless communication devices. An Internet Protocol (IP) router scans the data packets to identify active users on the base station. The IP router generates a database of the active users. The IP router detects a loss of connection to the core network and determines which of the communication sessions can be maintained based on the database of active users. The IP router routes the data packets for the communication sessions that can be maintained back to the base station for delivery.
