1. A method of wireless communication, comprising:
- (a) synchronizing, during an idle state, a mobile station to a default carrier selected from a group comprising an all-services carrier and a best-efforts carrier, the all-services carrier supporting real-time and non-real-time services, the best-efforts carrier supporting only non-real-time services;
(b) notifying the mobile station to synchronize with a remaining carrier;
(c) synchronizing the mobile station to the remaining carrier;
(d) connecting an incoming call to the mobile station over the remaining carrier; and
(e) synchronizing the mobile station to the default carrier upon completion of the incoming call.

Abstract
The present invention provides systems and methods for coordinating calls within hybrid cells that support both an all services carrier and a best-efforts carrier, wherein the all services carrier supports real-time and non-real-time services and the best efforts carrier supports only non-real-time services. In one embodiment of the invention, the all services carrier is a 1×RTT carrier and the best-efforts carrier is an HDR carrier. Calls may be placed on either carrier and transferred between the carriers as circumstances dictate. In addition, the present invention provides systems and methods to dynamically determine the most appropriate carrier for a given call.

6. A wireless communication network configured to allow a call to be selectively carried over either an all-services carrier or a best-efforts carrier, the all-services carrier supporting real-time and non-real-time services, the best-efforts carrier supporting only non-real-time services, said wireless communication network further being configured to:
-
connect a data call to a mobile station over the best-efforts carrier;
if a specified condition is detected while the data call is in progress, synchronize the mobile station to the all-services carrier; and
continue the data call over the all-services carrier. - View Dependent Claims (7, 8, 9, 10)

11. A wireless communication network configured to allow a call to be selectively carried over either an all-services carrier or a best-efforts carrier, the all-services carrier supporting real-time and non-real-time services, the best-efforts carrier supporting only non-real-time services, the network further configured to:
-
synchronize, during an idle state, a mobile station to a default carrier comprising either the all-services carrier or the best-efforts carrier;
notify the mobile station to synchronize with a remaining carrier upon notice of an incoming call at a mobile station controller;
synchronize the mobile station to the remaining carrier upon receipt of the incoming call;
connect the incoming call to the mobile station over the remaining carrier; and
synchronize the mobile station to the default carrier upon completion of the call. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17)

18. A method of wireless communication, comprising:
-
providing a hybrid network, the hybrid network enabling a call to be selectively carried over either a 1×
RTT carrier or an HDR carrier;
connecting a data call over the HDR carrier;
determining that the data call should be carried over the 1×
RTT carrier;
synchronizing the mobile station to the 1×
RTT carrier; and
continuing the data call over the 1×
RTT carrier. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20)
