<p>A method for paging a mobile station where the mobile station ( 208 - 212 ) may be in a dormant state is described. The method begins by sending a first paging message ( 302 ) in a first zone ( 214 ) of a given area to a selected mobile station wherein the first paging message is sent at the beginning of a paging interval ( 300 ). A base station ( 202 - 206 ) then receives a response to the paging message when the mobile station is in the first zone. When the response to the first paging message is not received, a second paging message ( 306 ) is sent in a second zone ( 216 ) of the given area. The second paging message is sent at a first offset ( 308 ) from the sending of the first paging message wherein this first offset occurs less than one paging interval after the sending of the first page message.</p> |
