Managing of Paging of a Wireless Device in a Wireless Communication Network

A method, performed by a second network node of a wireless communication network, for managing of paging of a wireless device, wherein the method comprises:

• determining to page the wireless device,
• sending, in response to the determination, a paging instruction to a first network node of the wireless communication network, wherein the paging instruction commands the first network node to:
• determine a code rate and/or transmit power for a present paging message based on a location in a sequence of paging messages, which location is associated with the present paging message, and
• transmit the present paging message targeted for receipt by the wireless device, according to the determined code rate and/or transmit power, which present paging message commands the wireless device to connect, or at least initiate connection, to the wireless communication network.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing a computer program comprising program instructions that, when executed by processing circuitry in a second network node in a wireless communication network, configure the second network node for managing of paging of a wireless device, said computer program comprising program instructions configuring the second network node to:

• determine to page the wireless device;
• and
• send, in response to the determination, a paging instruction to a first network node of the wireless communication network, wherein the paging instruction commands the first network node to:
• determine a code rate and/or transmit power for a present paging message based on a location in a sequence of paging messages, which location is associated with the present paging message, and
• transmit the present paging message targeted for receipt by the wireless device, according to the determined code rate and/or transmit power, which present paging message commands the wireless device to connect, or at least initiate connection, to the wireless communication network.

A first network node for managing of paging of a wireless device, which first network node is comprised in a wireless communication network and comprising:

• communication circuitry configured for transmitting paging messages;
• processing circuitry configured to:
• determine a code rate and/or transmit power for a present paging message based on a location in a sequence of paging messages, which location is associated with the present paging message, and
• transmit, via the communication circuitry, the present paging message targeted for receipt by the wireless device, according to the determined code rate and/or transmit power, which present paging message commands the wireless device to connect, or at least initiate connection, to the wireless communication network.

A second network node for managing of paging of a wireless device, wherein the second network node is comprised in a wireless communication network and comprises:

• communication circuitry configured for communicating with a first network node of the wireless communication network;
• and
• processing circuitry configured to:
• determine to page the wireless device;
• and
• send, in response to the determination, a paging instruction to the first network node, wherein the paging instruction commands the first network node to:
• determine a code rate and/or transmit power for a present paging message based on a location in a sequence of paging messages, which location is associated with the present paging message, and
• transmit the present paging message targeted for receipt by the wireless device, which present paging message commands the wireless device to connect, or at least initiate connection, to the wireless communication network, wherein the present paging message is being coded based on the determined code rate and/or being transmitted based on the determined transmit power.
