Abstract
The disclosure relates in some aspects to managing paging area information for a user terminal (UT) and connection signaling. In some aspects, paging area information is provided for an idle UT by defining a default paging area code (PAC) that is known by the network and the UT. In some aspects, paging area information is communicated via connection signaling. In some aspects, connection signaling may be used to force a UT to invoke an update procedure (e.g., a reconnection).
Claims27
A method of communication for an apparatus, comprising:
- determining that a user terminal in idle mode is to be assigned paging area code information;
- and
- conducting a mobility operation using a default paging area code as a result of the determination, wherein the default paging area code is excluded from a set of paging area codes used for paging area update operations.
A method of communication for an apparatus, comprising:
- initiating a first Radio Connection, wherein the initiating of the first Radio Connection comprises sending first paging area code information;
- receiving a Radio Connection Reject message comprising second paging area code information after the initiating of the first Radio Connection;
- and
- initiating a second Radio Connection as a result of the receiving of the Radio Connection Reject message, wherein the initiating of the second Radio Connection comprises sending the first paging area code information and the second paging area code information.
A method of communication for an apparatus, comprising:
- initiating a Radio Connection, wherein the initiating of the Radio Connection comprises sending a paging area code associated with a forbidden paging area;
- and
- receiving a Radio Connection Reject message after the initiating of the Radio Connection, wherein the Radio Connection Reject message comprises an indication that a user terminal is to immediately attempt a reconnection.
A method of communication for an apparatus, comprising:
- initiating a Radio Connection;
- and
- receiving a Radio Connection Reject message after the initiating of the Radio Connection, wherein the Radio Connection Reject message comprises a request for a user terminal to send paging area code information previously used by the user terminal before the initiating of the Radio Connection.
