Abstract: A method and deployable cell are provided that validate a deployable cell to be fully operational. Upon powering up, the deployable cell is established as operational in a restricted mode. When an attach request is received from a mobile device at the deployable cell, the deployable cell determines if the mobile device making the attachment request is a supervising device. If so, the operational status of the deployable cell is changed from restricted mode with limited capabilities to fully operational mode.

Abstract: A method is provided for waking up a first mode of a multimode mobile radio unit. An event driven paging server determines that the first mode of the multimode mobile unit should be woken up. A wakeup message is sent to a second mobile unit. The second mobile unit sends a wakeup message to a second mode of the multimode mobile unit using non-cellular technology, such as low-power short-range communication such as Bluetooth. The second mode of the multimode mobile radio unit receives the wakeup message and wakes up the first mode of the multimode mobile unit.
