Abstract: Methods and systems for efficiently using multiple paging channels in a wireless communication network are proposed. In particular, a radio access network (RAN) may determine that a wireless communication device (WCD), such as a cell phone, has not been responding to paging messages transmitted on a secondary paging channel. In response to this determination, the RAN may instruct the WCD to listen only to a primary paging channel, while the RAN will only use the primary paging channel to page the WCD. This, in turn, may increase the likelihood that the WCD is able to properly receive and respond to paging messages, and reduce the power consumption and battery drain of neighboring WCDs.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are methods and systems according to which an access terminal intelligently accounts for differences in respective distances between itself and various access nodes, so as to more accurately estimate the C/I ratio of signals received from a serving access node. According to the method, the access terminal calculates a delta of (i) a serving distance between the access terminal and the serving access node and (ii) a neighboring distance between the access terminal and a neighboring access node. The access terminal then selects a C/I-evaluation time period based at least in part on the calculated delta, which may generally be used by the access terminal to select the C/I-evaluation time period such that this time period only includes time during which the access terminal is likely to have received signals emitted by both the serving access node and the neighboring access node.

Abstract: A method and corresponding apparatus or system is disclosed for managing operating in a cellular wireless communication system. The method involves detecting a threshold transition of user devices (generally any wireless communication devices) that are actively operating in a given wireless coverage area into a state of soft handoff between the given coverage area and another coverage area, and perhaps a resulting threshold increase in total transmission power in the given coverage area, and responsively forcing out of the given coverage area at least one user device that is in soft handoff with the given coverage area. The method may thereby help to avoid or minimize an undesirable cyclic power increase effect that could lead to power overload.

Abstract: A two-stage method is used to page a target mobile station. A wireless network transmits an initial page message into a plurality of wireless coverage areas (e.g., the wireless coverage areas defined by a paging zone) that includes the target mobile station's last reported location. The initial page message is received by a plurality of mobile stations, which then transmit a plurality of responses. The plurality of responses includes a target response from the target mobile station. The wireless network determines the target wireless coverage area that received the target response and then transmits a supplemental page message into the target wireless coverage area. The initial page message may be a very short message, such as a page indicator, that does not identify the target mobile station. The supplemental page message may be a longer message that identifies the target mobile station and the reason for the page.

Abstract: A method and system of controlling switching of an access terminal between cells of an access network that includes a first BTS serving a first cell and a second BTS serving a second cell. While the first BTS is receiving from the access terminal one or more consecutive requests for current service in the first cell and serving the access terminal, the second BTS receives from the access terminal a request for future service in the second cell. In response, the second BTS prepares to serve the access terminal in the second cell. After the second BTS has finished preparing, the first BTS sends to the access terminal an instruction to stop sending requests for current service in the first cell (e.g., a DRCLock bit message). The second BTS then receives from the access terminal a request for current service in the second cell, and begins serving the access terminal.

Abstract: A power control method in a mobile station having at least two antennas. The mobile station operates in a receive-diversity state in which the mobile station wirelessly receives communications with multiple antennas. The mobile station determines a relative gain of operating in the receive-diversity state versus operating in a non-receive-diversity state in which the mobile station wirelessly receives communications with one antenna rather than with multiple antennas. The mobile station uses the determined gain as a basis to set one or more power characteristic(s). The one or more power characteristic(s) may include (i) an initial power control setpoint for use by the mobile station to evaluate strength of received transmissions and (ii) an initial power level at which a remote entity transmits to the mobile station.

Abstract: In order to provide wireless service to wireless communication devices (WCDs) at different altitudes (e.g., on different levels of a high-rise structure), a radio access network (RAN) may include antennas aimed to direct coverage at different heights. The RAN may advertise the presence of wireless coverage areas that provide elevated coverage primarily to the WCDs above a threshold altitude. Similarly, the RAN may advertise the presence of wireless coverage areas that provide ground floor coverage primarily to WCDs below the threshold altitude. In this way, when a WCD is handed off to a new wireless coverage area, that wireless coverage area may be suited to provide coverage at the WCD's altitude.
