A system and method is disclosed to provide inter-packet-node paging between communication networks. The networks recognize whether inter-network paging is supported therebetween and advertise overlapping codes between networks having adjacent location areas. When the mobile station moves from the first network to the second network, the first network determines whether the second network shares an overlapping code therewith. If the networks share an overlapping code, the first network sends a paging request to the second network including link configuration information and the notification for the mobile station, wherein the notification can be delivered to mobile station in the second location area of the second communication network without the mobile station having to register in the second communication network.
