Abstract
In a radio access network including subnets, enabling a radio node of a first subnet to receive a communication over an access channel from an access terminal that is in a dormant state and to send information about the communication to a radio node controller of a second subnet. In a radio access network including a first subnet and a second subnet, the first subnet and the second subnet being neighboring subnets of the network, enabling a radio node of the first subnet to broadcast an overhead message comprising a subnet boundary identifier.

17. A radio access network comprising:
-
a first subnet comprising a first radio node controller and a first radio node; and
a second subnet comprising a second radio node controller, wherein the first radio node has an association with the second radio node controller that enables the first radio node to receive a communication over an access channel from an access terminal in a dormant state and to send the communication to the second radio node controller. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24)
