EFFECTIVE IDLE MODE FOR ADVANCED WIRELESS SYSTEM

摘要

A WIRELESS COMMUNICATION NETWORK COMPRISING A PLURALITY OF PAGING CONTROLLERS (307) CAPABLE OF COMMUNICATION WITH A PLURALITY OF BASE STATIONS WITHIN A COVERAGE AREA (120, 125) OF THE NETWORK, WHEREIN AT LEAST ONE OF THE PLURALITY OF PAGING CONTROLLERS (307) IS CAPABLE OF, IF A MOBILE STATION WITHIN A PAGING AREA (303) REQUESTS TO ENTER IDLE MODE, ASSIGNING A TEMPORARY PAGING IDENTIFICATION TO THE MOBILE STATION, AND TRANSMITTING THE TEMPORARY PAGING IDENTIFICATION TO A BASE STATION IN COMMUNICATION WITH THE MOBILE STATION, WHEREIN THE TEMPORARY PAGING IDENTIFICATION IS USED BY THE BASE STATION TO DETERMINE AN INDEX OF A PAGING OPPORTUNITY OR FRAME IN A PAGING CYCLE TO TRANSMIT A PAGING MESSAGE FOR THE MOBILE STATION.
