A system and method for selecting a gateway upon mobile station initial network entry is provided. A method for controller operations includes determining that a criterion for gateway selection for a mobile station is met, selecting a gateway based on an allocation vector, and transmitting an allocation request to the selected gateway. The selecting being based on an allocation vector of selection probabilities for a plurality of gateways. The method also includes receiving a response message from the selected gateway, completing an initial network entry procedure if the response message indicates that the selected gateway will support the mobile station, and performing an alternate selection procedure if the response message indicates that the selected gateway will not support the mobile station.

When a mobile station requests circuit services notifications through a packet switched network, a mobile switching center sets a forwarding indicator. When the MSC detects an event indicative of a change in the status of the mobile station, the MSC sends an event notification to the packet switched network if the forwarding indicator is set to true. In the packet switched network, the base station can use the event notifications to manage communication resources used for packet data communications with the mobile station.

One or more entities of a wireless communication network distribute address information for a source Packet Data Serving Node (PDSN) to the packet zones involved in reactivation paging of a dormant mobile station for network-initiated packet data delivery. A target Packet Control Function (PCF) supporting the packet zone in which the mobile station responded to the reactivation paging uses the address information to reactive packet data service to the mobile station through the source PDSN, if network connectivity permits. For example, the target PCF uses the source PDSN's IP address to send a registration request for the mobile station to the source PDSN. If the source PDSN is not directly reachable through the target PCF, the target PCF may send the source PDSN's P-P address to a target PDSN, and target PDSN can attempt to connect to the source PDSN for reactivation of the mobile station's packet data service.

A paging procedure implemented by a base station avoids transmission of unnecessary page messages. In a first embodiment, a first base station is notified by a mobile switching center when a paging request is sent to a mobile station via a second base station. The first base station does not page the mobile station, but stores a paging parameter in memory. When the first base station receives a page response message from the mobile station, it correlates the unsolicited page response message with a paged mobile list to determine a corresponding paging parameter, and forwards the page response message with the stored paging parameter to the mobile switching center. In a second embodiment, the first base station pages the mobile station and then sends an immediate paging response to the mobile switching center without waiting for a page response from the mobile station to terminate the paging procedure at the mobile switching center.

An access network obtains a non-native mobile station identifier, such as an International Mobile Station Identifier, for use in establishing a packet data call by inducing the mobile station to transmit a non-native message containing the mobile station identifier encapsulated in a native message. The access network de-capsulates and parses the non-native message to obtain the mobile station identifier.

A system and method for supporting a keep alive mechanism in a wireless communications system are provided. A method for communications device operation includes if the communications device is operating within an idle time window and if the communications device is in the idle state, initiating a keep alive procedure, and if the communications device is not operating within the idle time window and if an elapsed time since a last transmission by the communications device is greater than an upper boundary of the idle time window, initiating the keep alive procedure. The method further includes if the communications device is not operating within the idle time window and if the elapsed time since the last transmission by the communications device is less than a lower boundary of the idle time window, not initiating the keep alive procedure.

A method and apparatus for reporting events in a machine-to-machine environment are provided. Upon detection of an event, a determination is made whether to report the event with or without a delay. If the event is to be reported with a delay, then reporting is delayed for a period of time. If an event notification is received prior to the expiration of the delay period, then the reporting of the event may be canceled as event has already been reported by another element. If not, then another determination is made whether to report the event with or without another delay. This process continues until either the event has been reported or an event notification corresponding to the event has been received from another element.

A system and method for local operations in a communications system are provided. A method for device operations includes identifying, at a communications controller of a communications system, identification information in a packet received from a machine-to-machine device, and determining if the packet is to be processed locally according to the identification information. The method further includes routing the packet to a local destination if the packet is to be processed locally, and routing the packet to a remote destination if the packet is not to be processed locally.

A handoff method in a wireless communication network enables radio configuration selection information to be exchanged between target and source base stations (BSs) involved in the handoff. For example, a source BS may determine that a given mobile station's Forward Supplemental Channel (F-SCH) should be handed off to a target BS in the mobile station's active set and thus send a handoff request to that target BS. In turn, the target BS selects a radio configuration and returns selection information to the source BS as part of its response. For example, the target BS may select a radio configuration that makes the best use of its available resources. Further, the source BS can include compatibility information in the request, such as a list of radio configurations compatible with the mobile station. In an exemplary cdma2000 embodiment, the source and target BSs use A3/A7 signaling to exchange radio configuration information.
