Abstract

Limiting the base stations to which a wireless terminal will attempt to establish communication. In a first and second embodiment this is done by the wireless switching system or another system having the capability of storing within each individual wireless terminal a list of base stations that can be utilized by that wireless terminal. When a wireless terminal first registers on the wireless switching system, the wireless switching system would be responsive to the identification code of the wireless terminal to transmit a list of base stations that can be utilized by the wireless terminal to the wireless terminal. The wireless terminal then stores that list for future use. In a third embodiment, each tenant would be assigned a group number. Each of the base stations would periodically transmit the numbers of the groups that could access the base station. A wireless terminal monitors these group numbers before attempting to register on a base station.
