Exemplary embodiments include methods for paging of a communication device in a coverage area served by a radio access network (RAN) node. Such embodiments include receiving, from a core network node, an indication of which of the following modes of operation are supported by the communication device: Extended-Coverage Global System for Mobile communications Internet of Things (EC-GSM-IoT) mode; and General Packet Radio Services (GPRS) and/or Enhanced GPRS (EGPRS) mode. Embodiments also include, based on the indication and on a capability of the coverage area to support said following modes of operation, determining at least one of the following: whether to page the communication device in the coverage area; and a channel for paging the communication device in the coverage area. Other embodiments include complementary methods performed by a core network node, as well as RAN nodes and core network nodes configured to perform any of the exemplary methods.
A method for paging of a communication device in a coverage area served by a radio access network (RAN) node, the method comprising:
A radio access network (RAN) node arranged to page a communication device in a coverage area served by the RAN node, wherein the RAN node comprises:
A method performed by a core network node for paging of a communication device in a communications network, the method comprising:
A core network node for paging of a communication device in a communications network, wherein the core network node comprises:
