Optimizing Operation of Constrained User Equipment

摘要

A base station and associated method transmits a page to a user equipment (UE) for a call establishment procedure, determines whether an acknowledgement is received in response to the page and when no acknowledgement has been received, determines a number of pages that have been transmitted to the UE for the call establishment procedure, transmits a further page to the UE for the call establishment procedure when the number of pages is less than a page threshold and performs a page failure procedure when the number of pages exceeds the page threshold. In another method the base station transmits a radio resource control (RRC) connection release message to the UE, maintains a context for the UE when an acknowledgement for the RRC connection release message is not received, transmits a first page and transmits a second page when a further acknowledgement for the first page is not received.
