Abstract
An example process performed by a radio network access point configured to provide access to a first network that provides voice services includes: receiving a hand-off request at the radio network access point, where the hand-off request is for user equipment connected to a second network that provides data services; replying to the hand-off request with channel assignment information, where the channel assignment information includes a first code and corresponding to a first communication channel over which the radio network access point is configured to communicate, and where the first communication channel being reserved by various radio network access points; receiving a message from the user equipment indicating that the user equipment has a connection to the radio network access point using the first communication channel; and redirecting the user equipment to a second code and thus a second communication channel to maintain the connection.
