A paging signal is detected where the paging signal is intended for a mobile-telephone having a paging channel frequency that is different than a paging channel frequency associated with a concentrator. A base station transmits a base station-to-mobile (BS-MT) paging message by including such BS-MT paging message in a base station-to-concentrator (BS-C) paging message. The BS-MT paging message includes a message portion and a mobile-telephone identifier portion, wherein the mobile-telephone identifier portion indicates the mobile-telephone to which the BS-MT paging message is for indicating the concentrator to which the BS-C is intended. The BS-C paging message is transmitted over a paging channel on a frequency f1 associated with the intended concentrator (i.e., concentrator through which the mobile-telephone is linked to the base station). The intended concentrator detects the BS-C paging message by monitoring its associated paging channel on frequency f1 for a BS-C paging message with a concentrator identifier portion indicating the concentrator. Upon detecting its BS-C paging message, the concentrator parses the BS-MT paging message from the BS-C message and transmits the BS-MT paging message to the intended mobile-telephone using a paging channel on frequency f2 being monitored by the mobile-telephone. <IMAGE> |
