1. A wireless system, comprising:
- a voice network;
a data network provided separately from the voice network;
a home location register (HLR) in communication with the voice network and the separately provided data network; and
wherein the HLR is operable to;
initiate a message to a mobile device, via the separately provided data network, that a voice session is waiting to be transmitted to the mobile device via the voice network;
initiate a suspend data activity request through the data network to a mobile device; and
initiate a route request in parallel with the suspend data activity request to a mobile switching center (MSC).

Abstract
An embodiment of the present invention includes a wireless architecture having a mobile device, a voice network, a data network, and a home location register (HLR). The HLR is operably connected to the voice network and the data network. The HLR is operable to initiate a message to the mobile device, via the data network, that a voice session is waiting to be transmitted to the mobile device via the voice network.
