First Claim
1. A method of performing a handoff of a currently wireless connected slave unit from a first master unit of a shared resource network having a topology to a further master unit of said shared resource network, the method including:
- a) holding in said first master unit information about the topology of said shared resource network;
b) activating during said handoff a paging procedure in one or more further master units based on said topology, in said paging procedure the or each further master unit pages said slave unit; and
c) holding said network topology information in the form of a matrix, said network topology information including which of said one or more further master units are neighbors of said first mater unit.

Abstract
An arrangement is disclosed for performing a handoff of a slave unit (MT) from a currently wireless connected first master unit (AP1) of a shared resource network to a further master unit (AP2) of the shared resource network, the arrangement including:
a) holding in the first master unit information about the topology of the shared resource network; and
b) activating during a handoff a paging procedure in one or more further master units (AP2-4) based on the topology, in the paging procedure the or each further master unit pages the slave unit.

- 20. A radio communications arrangement adapted to perform a handoff of a currently wireless connected slave unit from a first master unit of a shared resource network having a topology to a further master unit of said shared resource network, said shared resource network being adapted to hold in said first master unit information about the topology of said network and further adapted to activate during said handoff a paging procedure in one or more further master units based on said topology, in said paging procedure one or more said further master units page said slave unit and holding said network topology information in the form of a matrix, said network topology information including which of said one or more further master units are neighbors of said first mater unit.
