MOBILE STATION, ACCESS NODE, SERVING NODE AND VARIOUS METHODS FOR IMPLEMENTING AN ABBREVIATED PAGE RESPONSE PROCEDURE

摘要

A mobile station, an access node (e.g., BSS), a serving node (e.g., SGSN) and various methods are described herein for implementing an abbreviated page response (APR) procedure. The APR procedure improves a paging-page response scenario wherein the MS after receiving a paging message from the access node sends a page 5 response to the access node using a single uplink radio block instead of establishing an uplink Temporary Block Flow (TBF) in order to send the page response. The APR procedure effectively improves the radio resource utilization efficiency between the mobile station and access node which is desirable in the wireless telecommunications field.
