METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR OPTIMIZING PAGING IN A COMMUNICATION NETWORK

摘要

A method and corresponding entity for optimizing paging process in a communication network. The method comprises of sending (408) the paging signal to the at least one access point in a group associated with the current priority level and determining (410) whether a page response is received from the at least one access point in the group associated with the current priority level. The method includes updating the (412) the group associated with the current priority level based on the mobility observed at each access point in the group. The method further comprises assigning (414) a next priority level in the list of priority levels as the current priority level and repeating the above steps until the page response is received.
