System and method for responding to a paging during a communication restriction

摘要

A system and method is provided for a wireless device to respond to a page despite its access class being barred while in an idle mode. The wireless device determines whether the page should be responded to notwithstanding a communication restriction. If the page should be responded to notwithstanding a communication restriction, then the wireless device responds to the page despite its access class being barred. Also provided is a system and method for a network to receive and process a response to the page from the wireless device despite the wireless device's access class being barred while the device is in an idle mode. In some implementations, the network provides the wireless device with information useful for determining whether the page should be responded to notwithstanding a communication restriction.
