System and method for connecting multicast or broadcast control information to mobile stations
First Claim
1. A method of connecting at least one mobile station in a wireless network including mobile stations and a controller to another network comprising:
- transmitting a communication from the at least one mobile station, while the at least one mobile station is activated in the wireless network, but is not terminated to the controller, to the another network to establish a connection between the at least one mobile station and the another network; and
the another network transmits control information using the connection to the at least one mobile station while the at least one mobile station is activated but is not terminated to the controller,wherein the control information transmitted by the another network relates to a multicast transmission or a broadcast transmission to a plurality of the mobile stations from the another network, andwherein the communication from the at least one mobile station is an indication by the at least one mobile station to the another network that the at least one mobile station is to receive the multicast transmission or broadcast transmission from the another network.
