Abstract
A wireless communication system automatically attempts to reconnect when a dropped call is detected. A call may be originated by the mobile station or as the result of a base station page. When a call is originated by the mobile station, the mobile station will attempt to reconnect the call when an interruption of service is detected. When the call is the result of a base station page, the base station will attempt to re-page the mobile station after an interruption of service. Audio indicators may be played to the users indicating that service was interrupted and a reconnection attempt is in progress.
