PAGING METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR BROADCAST AND MULTICAST SERVICES IN A MOBILE COMMUNICATIONS NETWORK

摘要

Paging is provided in a communication network, and implemented in a network infrastructure device (101). Multiple flows including a particular flow are assigned to one or more flow groups. Flow groups, including the foregoing flows, are assigned to at least one paging category, wherein the flow groups have a first paging slot. The paging category is transmitted (107) to one or more communication units (103), wherein the communication unit(s) (103) has requested the particular flow.
