A radio access network node (e.g., Base Station Subsystem), a wireless device (e.g., a mobile station), and various methods are described herein for improving the allocation of radio resources in wireless communications. In one embodiment, the radio access network node and wireless device implement a fixed uplink allocation technique. In another embodiment, the radio access network node and wireless device implement a flexible downlink allocation technique. |

1. A radio access network (RAN) node configured to interact with a core network (CN) node and a wireless device, the RAN node comprising:
a processor; and, a memory that stores processor-executable instructions, wherein the processor interfaces with the memory to execute the processor-executable instructions, whereby the RAN node is operable to: receive, from the CN node, a paging request message associated with the wireless device; transmit, to the wireless device, one or more repetitions of a page message; receive, from the wireless device, one or more repetitions of an access request message requesting resources for transmitting a page response message; transmit, to the wireless device, one or more repetitions of an uplink assignment message, wherein the uplink assignment message comprises:
an indication of a number of pre-allocated radio block(s) on a packet data traffic channel; andan indication (NTX, UL) of an Uplink (UL) coverage class; and receive, from the wireless device, one or more repetitions of a page response message, wherein the page response message comprises:
uplink payload, wherein the uplink payload is received in the pre-allocated radio block(s), and wherein the page response message is repeated according to the UL coverage class. |
