1. An access terminal in a spread spectrum communications system comprising:

  • at least one antenna;

    a duplexer having a plurality of ports, wherein a first port is operably connected to said at least one antenna;

    a receiver having an input and an output port, wherein said input port is operably connected to a second of said ports of said duplexer;

    a transmitter having an input and an output port, wherein said output port is operably connected to a third of said ports of said duplexer;

    a demodulator having an input and an output port, wherein said input port is operably connected to said output port of said receiver;

    a modulator having an input and an output port, wherein said output port is operably connected to said input port of said transmitter;

    a decoder having an input and an output port, wherein said input port is operably connected to said output port of said demodulator;

    an encoder having an input and an output port, wherein said output port is operably connected to said input port of said modulator; and

    a controller having an input and an output port, wherein said input port is operably connected to said output port of said decoder and an output port is operably connected to said input port of said encoder and configured to establish a session with a first radio network, transmit to the first radio network an indication of an interest in receiving unsolicited messages from a second radio network, and receive and process an encapsulated message from the first radio network, wherein the encapsulated message includes an unsolicited message from the second radio network that has been forwarded to the first radio network and wherein the first radio network continues to send the encapsulated message until the first radio network receives a message to stop encapsulation.
