Abstract
A computer device may include a processor configured to detect a condition to page a user equipment (UE) device, retrieve mobility category information associated with the UE device from a mobility database, and use the retrieved mobility category information to determine a paging policy. The computer device may be further configured to select a number of base station cells to which the computer device is to send a paging message based on the determined paging policy and page the UE device using the selected number of base station cells.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- detecting, by a computer device, a condition to page a user equipment (UE) device;
- selecting, by the computer device, to page a first number of base station cells located around, and within a particular diameter of, a last known base station cell servicing the UE device, when the UE device is associated with a low mobility category;
- selecting, by the computer device, to page a second number of base station cells located around, and within the particular diameter of, the last known base station cell servicing the UE device, wherein the second number is higher than the first number, when the UE device is associated with a high mobility category;
- and
- paging, by the computer device, the UE device using the selected number of base station cells.
A device comprising:
- a processor configured to:
- detect a condition to page a user equipment (UE) device;
- select to page a first number of base station cells located around, and within a particular diameter of, a last known base station cell servicing the UE device, when the UE device is associated with a first mobility category;
- select to page a second number of base station cells located around, and within the particular diameter of, the last known base station cell servicing the UE device, wherein the second number is higher than the first number, when the UE device is associated with a second mobility category;
- and
- page the UE device using the selected number of base station cells.
A system comprising:
- a subscriber profile management device configured to:
- store mobility category information for a user equipment (UE) device;
- and
- a computer device configured to:
- detect a condition to page the UE device;
- obtain the stored mobility category information from the subscriber profile management device;
- select to page a first number of base station cells located around, and within a particular diameter of, a last known base station cell servicing the UE device, when the stored mobility category information indicates that the UE device is associated with a first mobility category;
- select to page a second number of base station cells located around, and within the particular diameter of, the last known base station cell servicing the UE device, wherein the second number is higher than the first number, when the stored mobility category information indicates that the UE device is associated with a second mobility category;
- and
- page the UE device using the selected number of base station cells.
