Abstract

A method of controlling the cell re-selection of a mobile station (4) between cells (1) of a cellular-based radio access network (6). The method comprises the steps of determining when a cell re-selection for the mobile station (4) is appropriate, determining whether or not the mobile station (4) is involved in a push to talk service comprising a series of talk bursts, and if the mobile station is involved in a push to talk service, delaying the cell re-selection until such time as a period of silence between talk bursts occurs.
