Abstract
Certain embodiments of the present disclosure provide techniques for a multi-mode mobile station to establish paging intervals in different radio access technology (RAT) networks in an effort to avoid consecutive collisions between paging intervals of a first and a second network.

A method for communicating using first and second networks with first and second radio access technologies (RATs), comprising:
- determining a first paging cycle for the first network;
- and
- determining a second paging cycle for the second network in an effort to avoid consecutive collisions between paging intervals of the first and second networks, wherein the second paging cycle is determined based on a scaling factor applied to the first paging cycle and an offset value, the offset value determined based on a relationship between a frame interval of the second network and the first paging cycle.
An apparatus for communicating using first and second networks with first and second radio access technologies (RATs), comprising:
- tangible logic for determining a first paging cycle for the first network;
- and
- tangible logic for determining a second paging cycle for the second network in an effort to avoid consecutive collisions between paging intervals of the first and second networks, wherein the second paging cycle is determined based on a scaling factor applied to the first paging cycle and an offset value, the offset value determined based on a relationship between a frame interval of the second network and the first paging cycle.
An apparatus for communicating using first and second networks with first and second radio access technologies (RATs), comprising:
- means for determining a first paging cycle for the first network;
- and
- means for determining a second paging cycle for the second network in an effort to avoid consecutive collisions between paging intervals of the first and second networks, wherein the second paging cycle is determined based on a scaling factor applied to the first paging cycle and an offset value, the offset value determined based on a relationship between a frame interval of the second network and the first paging cycle.
A computer-program product for communicating using first and second networks with first and second radio access technologies (RATs), comprising a tangible computer readable medium having instructions stored thereon, the instructions being executable by one or more processors and the instructions comprising:
- instructions for determining a first paging cycle for the first network;
- and
- instructions for determining a second paging cycle for the second network in an effort to avoid consecutive collisions between paging intervals of the first and second networks, wherein the second paging cycle is determined based on a scaling factor applied to the first paging cycle and an offset value, the offset value determined based on a relationship between a frame interval of the second network and the first paging cycle.
