The present invention coordinates paging, network restriction, and other network-based communications (e.g., mobile measurement requests for O & M) in a mobile telecommunications network. Paging messa ges, network messages, and other messages may be consolidated in one message so that the mobile need only power up once to retrieve the various information provided in the one message. In one example, non-limiting embodiment, paging groups of mobile stations and network access restriction group of mobile stations are merged into a single set of paging and network access restriction groups to which different mobil e stations belong. A mobile station therefore need only process one message in order to be informed about paging and network access restriction information pertinent to that mobile station. In the example mobile groups embodiment, that one message corresponds to its consolidated paging and network access group, and the single paging and network access group message is transmitted during a specified time interval associated with the group. As a result, an idle mobile station belonging to that group need only leave a power savings sleep mode to receiv e that message during the specified group time interval. Otherwise, the idle mobile station can return to the power savings sleep mod e toconserve its battery life.
