Abstract
A mechanism for notifying a mobile station of receipt of a packet-switched paging message in a GSM communication system. A base station controller (108) sends the packet-switched paging message to the mobile station (116) along a main dedicated control channel in response to the mobile station being capable of operating in a dual transfer mode and being currently engaged in circuit-switch voice interchange activity, resulting in a simultaneous voice and data transmission in dual transfer mode.
Claims11
A mobile station for sending and receiving signals from a base station controller of a communication system, the mobile station comprising:
- a transceiver for receiving a packet-switched paging message from the base station controller, wherein the packet-switched paging message is sent along a control channel associated with a circuit switched traffic channel, in response to the base station controller determining that the mobile station is currently engaged in circuit-switched voice interchange activity and is operating in a dual transfer mode;
- and
- a processor for processing the received packet-switched paging message and creating simultaneous voice and data transmission in a dual transfer mode.
