Embodiments directed to switching carriers to join a multicast session in a wireless communications network are provided. A request to register for an announced multicast session (e.g., a push to talk (PTT) session) is sent from an access terminal to an access network (520). The access terminal has a traffic channel on a first carrier. The access network determines whether the announced multicast session is being carried on the first carrier. The access network transmits a traffic channel assignment message allocating the access terminal a traffic channel on a second carrier (530) if the determining step determines that the given multicast session is not being carried on the first carrier and is being carried on the second carrier. Thus, the access terminal need not send a connection request to be allocated a traffic channel on the second carrier.

L'invention vise, dans certains modes de réalisation, à prendre en charge une session en multidiffusion dans un réseau de communications sans fil. Une demande denregistrement en vue dune session en multidiffusion annoncée (par ex. une session « push to talk » (PTT)) est envoyée dun terminal daccès à un réseau daccès (520). Le terminal daccès est doté dun canal de trafic sur une première porteuse. Le réseau daccès détermine si la session en multidiffusion annoncée est acheminée sur la première porteuse. Le réseau daccès émet un message daffectation de canal de trafic allouant au terminal daccès un canal de trafic sur une deuxième porteuse (530) si létape de détermination établit que la session en multidiffusion considérée nest pas acheminée sur la première porteuse, mais est acheminée sur la deuxième porteuse. Ainsi, le terminal daccès na pas besoin denvoyer une demande de connexion pour se voir allouer un canal de trafic sur la deuxième porteuse.
