Abstract
A system and method for low overhead paging in a wireless communications system is provided. A method for controller operation includes generating a compressed map, receiving an incoming call intended for a communications device, and broadcasting the compressed map to communications devices served by the controller. The compressed map includes indications of paging groups of the controller.
Claims20
A method for controller operation, the method comprising:
- generating a compressed map, wherein the compressed map comprises indications of paging groups of the controller;
- receiving an incoming call intended for a communications device;
- and
- broadcasting the compressed map to communications devices served by the controller.
1 more element
A method for communications device operation, the method comprising:
- receiving an indication of a total number of paging groups and a compressed map;
- applying a paging rule to a paging group identifier of the communications device, thereby producing a value;
- completing a paging operation in response to determining that a bit of the compressed map at a location corresponding to the value is set to a specified value;
- and
- initiating a location update in response to determining that the bit of the compressed map at the location corresponding to the value is not set to the specified value.
2 more elements
A method for base station operation, the method comprising:
- transmitting a type field to a mobile station, the type field indicating a format of a paging map;
- and
- transmitting a paging map to the mobile station,
- wherein the paging map indicates the paging group to which the base station belongs, and
- wherein an arrangement of paging groups in the paging map is based on a modulo operation.
