Abstract
A method of paging for a wireless device with multiple radio interfaces corresponding to multiple access networks. The method provides a first interface from the multiple radio interfaces to listen to paging for the multiple radio interfaces; turns the rest of the multiple radio interfaces into deep-sleep mode; and maintains attachment for each of the deep-sleep interfaces to a corresponding serving base station or access point.
Claims19
A method of paging for a wireless device with multiple radio interfaces corresponding to multiple access networks, the method comprising:
- setting, by the wireless device, a first interface from the multiple radio interfaces to listen to paging for the multiple radio interfaces and to control wake up of a rest of the multiple radio interfaces, wherein the first interface is in normal-sleep mode during a first time period when the wireless device has no active network session;
- and
- turning, by the wireless device, the rest of the multiple radio interfaces into deep-sleep mode, the rest of the multiple radio interfaces maintaining attachment to corresponding serving base stations or access points.

- and
- turning, by the wireless device, the rest of the multiple radio interfaces into deep-sleep mode, the rest of the multiple radio interfaces maintaining attachment to corresponding serving base stations or access points;
- placing, by the wireless device, the first interface into an active network session for a first time period;
- turning, by the wireless device, the first interface into normal-sleep mode for a second time period when the wireless device has no active network session;
- and
- wherein the first interface wakes up a second interface in the multiple radio interfaces when receiving a paging message for the second interface, and sends the paging message to the second interface.
