A method of operating a UE in a wireless communication network includes receiving a paging message from a network node, and, responsive to receiving the paging message, transmitting a wait indication to the network node indicating a delay in transmission of a response to the paging message. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A method of operating a user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication network, the method comprising: receiving a paging message from a network node; and responsive to receiving the paging message, transmitting a wait indication to the network node indicating a delay in transmission of a response to the paging message. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein the paging message comprises a delayed paging indicator that indicates that a delayed response to the paging message is supported. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein the wait indication is provided as part of a connection procedure between the UE and the network node. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein the wait indication is transmitted as part of a random access procedure between the UE and the network node. ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein the wait indication comprises a random access channel (RACH) preamble. ### Claim 6 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein the wait indication comprises a portion of a random access channel (RACH) Msg3. ### Claim 7 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein the wait indication is a first wait indication, the method further comprising: transmitting a second wait indication from the UE to the network node. ### Claim 8 (depends on 7) The method of claim 7, wherein the second wait indication indicates a further delay based on a channel condition between the UE and the network node. ### Claim 9 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, further comprising: transmitting a registration message indicating support for a delayed response to the paging message. ### Claim 10 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein transmitting the wait indication is based on a channel condition between the UE and the network node. ### Claim 11 (canceled) ### Claim 12 A computer program product, comprising: a tangible, non-transitory computer readable storage medium comprising computer readable program code embodied therein, the computer readable program code comprising: computer readable code to receive a paging message at a User Equipment (UE) from a network node over a wireless communication network; and computer readable code to transmit, responsive to receiving the paging message, a wait indication to the network node indicating a delay in transmission of a response to the paging message. ### Claim 13 A method of a network node for managing a paging message for a user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication network, the method comprising: transmitting the paging message to the UE in the wireless communication network; receiving a wait indication from the UE; and delaying a retransmission of the paging message to the UE responsive to receiving the wait indication from the UE. ### Claim 14 (depends on 13) The method of claim 13, wherein the paging message comprises a delayed paging indicator that indicates that a delayed response to the paging message is supported. ### Claim 15 (depends on 14) The method of claim 14, wherein the paging message comprises the delayed paging indicator responsive to a determination that a response to the paging message is delay tolerant. ### Claim 16 (depends on 13) The method of claim 13, wherein the wait indication is provided as part of a connection procedure between the UE and the network node. ### Claim 17 (depends on 13) The method of claim 13, wherein the wait indication is transmitted as part of a random access procedure between the UE and the network node. ### Claim 18 (depends on 13) The method of claim 13, further comprising: receiving the wait indication in response to a random access channel (RACH) random access response that is transmitted from the network node to the UE. ### Claim 19 (depends on 13) The method of claim 13, wherein the wireless communication network comprises a core network, the method further comprising: responsive to receiving the wait indication, transmitting a status message to the core network, wherein the status message indicates that the UE has provided a wait indication. ### Claim 20 (depends on 13) The method of claim 13, wherein the wait indication is a first wait indication, the method further comprising: receiving a second wait indication from the UE. ### Claim 21 (depends on 13) The method of claim 13, further comprising: receiving a registration message from the UE indicating support for a delayed response to the paging message. ### Claim at position 22 22-24.
