A method comprising:
- sending, by a base station in a wireless network, a paging message to a mobile station, the paging message identifying the mobile station;
- and
- receiving, at an offset time after the sending the paging message, a ranging request message from the mobile station, the offset time being based at least in part on an identifier of the mobile station.
A method comprising:
- switching, by a mobile station in a wireless network, from a paging unavailable mode to a paging available mode in an idle state;
- receiving a paging message from a base station during the paging available mode;
- determining that the paging message identifies the mobile station;
- switching from the idle state to an active state at an offset time after the paging message was received, the offset time being based at least in part on an identifier of the mobile station;
- and
- sending, during the active state and at a time based on the offset time, a ranging request message to the base station.
