Paging for local IP access packets

摘要

Local IP access paging schemes facilitate paging of an access terminal when packets destined for the access terminal are received via local IP access. In some implementations, a local entity acquires information that enables local paging of the access terminal by sniffing messages passing through the local entity. In some implementations, a local entity sends a packet or message to cause the core network to page an access terminal when a local IP access packet destined for the access terminal arrives at the local entity.

1. A method of communication, comprising:
receiving a message; determining an identifier of an access terminal from the message; forwarding the message; receiving a packet destined for the access terminal; setting all paging indicators in a paging indicator channel based on the receipt of the packet; and sending at least one page message to the access terminal based on the receipt of the packet, wherein the at least one page message comprises the identifier determined from the message, and wherein sending the at least one page message comprises sending one or more page messages to the access terminal at each paging opportunity in a paging channel.
