A method for reconnecting calls affected by a loss of synchronization comprises detecting disconnect of a call and initiating a time-out sequence during which reconnection attempts are performed. The reconnection time-out sequence may be incremented a predetermined number of times before reconnection attempts are terminated and the call is released. Further, a mobile switching center and a serving base station may selectively determine whether reconnection attempts are to be made. Advantageously, resources associated with a call affected by a loss of synchronization are held for a predetermined time. If reconnection is successful, the held resources are bridged to new air traffic channels resulting in enhanced network efficiency.

[ The invention claimed is:] [1.]1. A wireless telecommunications system comprises:a mobile switching center interconnected to a plurality of base stations for serving wireless subscribers;a base station served by the mobile switching center, the base station including means for issuing a re-connection message to a mobile terminal upon loss of synchronization of a call connection, said connection message for re-establishment of said call connection between said base station and said mobile terminal, the same base station holding call resources associated with the call connection during issuance of the re-connection message; andmeans for interacting with said mobile terminal over a reconnection channel established by the base station.
