A node (eNodeB1a; eNodeB1b; eNodeB1c) for preventing a mobile-terminated call to a user equipment from being lost, said node comprising: a processor (602; 702; 802); and a memory (604; 704; 804) that interfaces with the processor and stores processor-executable instructions which, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to: receive a paging message from a mobility management entity, hereinafter abbreviated to MME, where the paging message identifies suitable location areas, the paging message being sent because a first mobile switching center, hereinafter abbreviated to MSC, received a mobile-terminated call request for the user equipment; determine that there are no 2G/3G cells (c1-c32) belonging to the suitable location areas based on a current location of the user equipment, wherein a 2G/3G cell is one of a 2G cell and a 3G cell; identify a target 2G/3G cell in a location area associated with the current location of the user equipment but not part of the 2G/3G cells belonging to the suitable location areas, wherein the target 2G/3G cell is one of a 2G cell and a 3G cell; and enable a signaling connection to be established between the user equipment and the first MSC via a second mobile switching center, where the second MSC interfaces with one of a base station controller (BSC2c) and a radio network controller that manages the target 2G/3G cell, where the signaling connection allows the mobile-terminated call to be established with the user equipment. a processor (602; 702; 802); and a memory (604; 704; 804) that interfaces with the processor and stores processor-executable instructions which, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to: receive a paging message from a mobility management entity, hereinafter abbreviated to MME, where the paging message identifies suitable location areas, the paging message being sent because a first mobile switching center, hereinafter abbreviated to MSC, received a mobile-terminated call request for the user equipment; determine that there are no 2G/3G cells (c1-c32) belonging to the suitable location areas based on a current location of the user equipment, wherein a 2G/3G cell is one of a 2G cell and a 3G cell; identify a target 2G/3G cell in a location area associated with the current location of the user equipment but not part of the 2G/3G cells belonging to the suitable location areas, wherein the target 2G/3G cell is one of a 2G cell and a 3G cell; and enable a signaling connection to be established between the user equipment and the first MSC via a second mobile switching center, where the second MSC interfaces with one of a base station controller (BSC2c) and a radio network controller that manages the target 2G/3G cell, where the signaling connection allows the mobile-terminated call to be established with the user equipment. receive a paging message from a mobility management entity, hereinafter abbreviated to MME, where the paging message identifies suitable location areas, the paging message being sent because a first mobile switching center, hereinafter abbreviated to MSC, received a mobile-terminated call request for the user equipment; determine that there are no 2G/3G cells (c1-c32) belonging to the suitable location areas based on a current location of the user equipment, wherein a 2G/3G cell is one of a 2G cell and a 3G cell; identify a target 2G/3G cell in a location area associated with the current location of the user equipment but not part of the 2G/3G cells belonging to the suitable location areas, wherein the target 2G/3G cell is one of a 2G cell and a 3G cell; and enable a signaling connection to be established between the user equipment and the first MSC via a second mobile switching center, where the second MSC interfaces with one of a base station controller (BSC2c) and a radio network controller that manages the target 2G/3G cell, where the signaling connection allows the mobile-terminated call to be established with the user equipment.
