摘要:
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.

To address the need for more resource efficient methods of providing service in multi-RAN communication systems (600), various embodiments are described for informing a cross-paging RAN that a targeted remote unit (601) is not accepting a service request, for informing a serving RAN that the targeted remote unit is accepting the service request, and for informing an IMS (IP Multimedia Subsystem) network (611) that the targeted remote unit is moving from the serving RAN to the cross-paging RAN (or simply moving to another RAN without being cross-paged). Thus, embodiments such as those described herein can enable multi-RAN communication systems to more quickly release unneeded resources, to reduce the amount of unnecessary paging, and to minimize cross-paging when an IMS core network is available to deliver voice over IP (VoIP) calls.

A method and apparatus for managing paging related delays between a mobile station and a base station is provided, which includes the use of a fractional slot cycle index. A first value for the slot cycle index, which is equal to an integer value less than a desired fractional slot cycle index value, is selected for use during a period of time corresponding to a determined proportion of a reduced slot cycle period, and a second value for the slot cycle index, which is equal to an integer value greater than a desired fractional slot cycle index value, is selected for use during a period of time corresponding to a remaining portion of the reduced slot cycle period.
摘要:
A communication system is provided that minimizes access message collisions when multiple mobile stations attempt to access a network after updating configuration information and/or access parameters information via a same overhead message by providing for each such mobile station to determine whether, or when, to convey an access message based on a time period corresponding to a wait for the overhead message by the mobile station.
