Resource allocation in a wireless network

An article of manufacture, comprising:

• a machine readable medium having instructions stored thereon, which when executed by a machine, cause the machine to perform operations including:
• selecting a first of multiple radio frequency (RF) resources to transmit a page to a user terminal;
• transmitting the page via the first RF resource;
• receiving from the user terminal a page response via one of multiple RF sequence resources that follow a sequence of at least one of frequency hopping, timeslot hopping, or codes;
• and
• transmitting the data stream to the user terminal via a second RF resource in response to receiving the page response via the RF sequence resource.

A method for wireless communication, comprising:

• receiving a paging signal via a radio frequency (RF) resource, the RF resource selected from among multiple RF resources;
• selecting a first RF sequence resource that follows a sequence of at least one of frequency hopping, timeslot hopping, or codes, including computing a selection function to determine which of multiple RF sequence resources to select;
• and
• transmitting a page response via the first RF sequence resource in response to the paging signal.

A wireless communication device comprising:

• an antenna to transmit and receive wireless signals, including receiving a page from another wireless communication device on a first RF resource;
• a radio frequency (RF) module coupled to the antenna to convert the wireless signals between an analog format for the antenna and a digital format for processing;
• and
• a baseband module coupled to the RF module, the baseband module to process the wireless signals, including identifying one of multiple RF sequence resources that follow a sequence of at least one of frequency hopping, timeslot hopping, or codes, for transmitting a page response to the other communication device via the identified RF sequence resource in response to receiving the page.

A user terminal device comprising:

• an antenna to transmit and receive wireless signals, including receiving a page from a base station on a first RF resource computed by the base station as a paging resource, the computing based at least in part on an expected listening pattern of the user terminal;
• a radio frequency (RF) module coupled to the antenna to convert the wireless signals between an analog format for the antenna and a digital format for processing;
• and
• a baseband module coupled to the RF module, the baseband module to process the wireless signals, including identifying one of multiple RF sequence resources that follow a sequence of at least one of frequency hopping, timeslot hopping, or codes, for transmitting a page response to the base station via the identified RF sequence resource in response to receiving the page.
