Abstract

A subscriber (410) to a radio communication system manages information needed to monitor for potential server sites during an ongoing communication session. Upon switching server sites during an ongoing communication (520, 530, 540, 550), the subscriber uses a modified neighbor site list for subsequent monitoring for potential server sites (570). The modified list is generated from the original list without benefit of new information downloaded from an external source, by replacing information representing the new server site with information representing the old server site (560).
