  • a base station system emitting a pilot beacon on a first air interface protocol;

    the base station system wirelessly receiving a registration message for a mobile station that detected the pilot beacon on the first air interface protocol, the registration message including a registration request seeking registration of the mobile station under the first air interface protocol with the base station system;

    in response to the received registration message, the base station system making a determination that the mobile station is capable of operating on a second air interface protocol different from the first air interface protocol; and

    in response to the determination, the base station system emitting at least one pilot beacon on the second air interface protocol, so as to attract the mobile station to register with the base station system under the second air interface protocol.
