Abstract
Concepts and technologies are described herein for adaptive and selective bundling of downlink paging messages. According to one aspect disclosed herein, a mobility management entity (“MME”) can determine whether to delay a paging procedure to deliver a downlink paging message to a mobile device served by the MME. If the MME determines that the paging procedure to deliver the downlink paging message to the mobile device should be delayed, then the MME can store the downlink paging message in a bundling cache. If the MME determines that the paging procedure to deliver the downlink paging message to the mobile device should not be delayed, then the MME can initiate the paging procedure.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- determining, by a mobility management entity comprising a processor, whether to delay a paging procedure to deliver a downlink paging message to a mobile device served by the mobility management entity;
- and
- in response to the mobility management entity determining that the paging procedure to deliver the downlink paging message to the mobile device should be delayed, storing the downlink paging message in a downlink paging message bundling cache.
A mobility management entity comprising:
- a processor;
- and
- a memory comprising computer-executable instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the mobility management entity to perform operations comprising:
- determining, by a selective bundling decision engine, whether to delay a paging procedure to deliver a downlink paging message to a mobile device served by the mobility management entity, and
- in response to the mobility management entity determining that the paging procedure to deliver the downlink paging message to the mobile device should be delayed, storing the downlink paging message in a downlink paging message bundling cache.
A computer-readable storage medium comprising computer-executable instructions that, when executed by a processor of a mobility management entity, cause the mobility management entity to perform operations comprising:
- determining, by a selective bundling decision engine, whether to delay a paging procedure to deliver a downlink paging message to a mobile device served by the mobility management entity, and
- in response to the mobility management entity determining that the paging procedure to deliver the downlink paging message to the mobile device should be delayed, storing the downlink paging message in a downlink paging message bundling cache.
