Abstract
A wireless communication device exchanges data with a source base station. Based on location, velocity, and direction of the wireless communication device, an off-network transit between a source base station and a target base station is identified. The wireless communication device transfers an off-network transit request to the source base station, indicating the target base station and a time. The wireless communication device receives an off-network transit response from the source base station, indicating the target base station, a target frequency, and authorization data. The wireless communication device enters a dormant mode until the time. When the time is reached, the wireless communication device transfers authorization data to the target base station and exchanges second data with the target base station.
