Abstract
A system for wireless communication is provided that includes a mobile switching center and a communication component, such as a base station or an access network. The mobile switching center is operable to transmit a message identifying a mobile station to be released. The communications component is operable to receive the message from the mobile switching center. The communications component is further operable to identify and release the mobile station based on the message.
Claims20
A system for wireless communication, comprising:
- a plurality of communications components each configured to:
- receive a page message from a mobile switching center via a non-signaling link prior to establishing a signaling link with the mobile switching center, the page message configured to instruct the communications component to attempt to locate a mobile station, and
- identify and release the mobile station based on a release message when another one of the communications components locates the mobile station, the release message configured to instruct the each communications component to stop attempting to locate the mobile station when no traffic channel exists between the communications component and the mobile station,
- wherein the release message format is compatible with a plurality of protocols and comprises at least one cause code that specifies the reason for the release of the mobile station to be released.

A method, comprising:
- receiving, by each of a plurality of communications components, a page message from a mobile switching center via a non-signaling link prior to establishing a signaling link with the mobile switching center, the page message configured to instruct the communications component to attempt to locate a mobile station;
- generating a release message for at least one of the communications components when another one of the communications components locates the mobile station, the release message configured to instruct the each communications component to stop attempting to locate the mobile station when no traffic channel exists between the communications component and the mobile station, the release message comprising information from which the mobile station is identified and at least one cause code that specifies the reason for stopping the attempt to locate the mobile station, the release message generated in a format that is compatible with a plurality of protocols;
- and
- sending the release message, via a non-signaling link communication, to the communications component before a signaling link is established between the communications component and the mobile switching station.

A mobile switching center, comprising:
- an interface for communicating with a plurality of communications components, wherein the mobile switching center is configured to:
- transmit to each communications component, a page message that is configured to attempt to locate a mobile station,
- establish a traffic channel with one of the communications components that locates the mobile station,
- generate a release message for each of the other communications components that is configured to instruct the communications component stop attempting to locate the mobile station, via the page message, when no traffic channel exists between the communications component and the mobile station, the release message comprising information from which the mobile station is identified and at least one cause code that specifies the reason for the release of the mobile station to be released, the release message generated in a format that is compatible with a plurality of protocols, and
- transmit the release message, via a non-signaling link communication, to each of the other communications components before a signaling link is established between the communications component and the mobile switching station.
