Abstract
Systems and methods for a distributed network are provided. In some embodiments, a method includes automatically transmitting a page message for a mobile station to access points in a paging group associated with a first access point, the page message having been received at the first access point, the first access point being associated with the most recent location update of the mobile station, and establishing a security agreement between the first access point and the other access points prior to receiving the page message.
Claims46
A method performed by a first access point, comprising:
- prior to receiving a page message:
- establishing a first security agreement for secure communication between the first access point and one or more second access points;
- establishing a second security agreement for secure communication between the first access point and a source access point;
- and
- establishing, through the first access point by the first security agreement and the second security agreement, one or more secure communication channels between the source access point and the one or more second access points, wherein establishment of the one or more secure communication channels prior to receipt of the page message decreases a latency associated with paging the mobile station relative to a latency associated with paging the mobile station independent of prior establishment of the one or more secure communication channels;
- receiving, from the source access point over the one or more secure communication channels, the page message for a mobile station in a service area of the one or more second access points;
- and
- transmitting, by the first access point over the one or more secure communication channels established between the source access point and the one or more second access points, the page message, received from the source access point, to the one or more second access points for paging the mobile station.

A system comprising:
- one or more processing devices;
- and
- one or more machine-readable media storing instructions that are executable by the one or more processing devices to perform, in a first access point, operations comprising:
- prior to receiving a page message:
- establishing a first security agreement for secure communication between the first access point and one or more second access points;
- establishing a second security agreement for secure communication between the first access point and a source access point;
- and
- establishing, through the first access point by the first security agreement and the second security agreement, one or more secure communication channels between the source access point and the one or more second access points, wherein establishment of the one or more secure communication channels prior to receipt of the page message decreases a latency associated with paging the mobile station relative to a latency associated with paging the mobile station independent of prior establishment of the one or more secure communication channels;
- receiving, from the source access point over the one or more secure communication channels, the page message for a mobile station in a service area of the one or more second access points;
- and
- transmitting, by the first access point over the one or more secure communication channels established between the source access point and the one or more second access points, the page message, received from the source access point, to the one or more second access points for paging the mobile station.
8 more elements
One or more non-transitory machine-readable media storing instructions that are executable by one or more processing devices to perform, in a first access point, operations comprising:
- prior to receiving a page message:
- establishing a first security agreement for secure communication between the first access point and one or more second access points;
- establishing a second security agreement for secure communication between the first access point and a source access point;
- and
- establishing, through the first access point by the first security agreement and the second security agreement, one or more secure communication channels between the source access point and the one or more second access points, wherein establishment of the one or more secure communication channels prior to receipt of the page message decreases a latency associated with paging the mobile station relative to a latency associated with paging the mobile station independent of prior establishment of the one or more secure communication channels;
- receiving, from the source access point over the one or more secure communication channels, the page message for a mobile station in a service area of the one or more second access points;
- and
- transmitting, by the first access point over the one or more secure communication channels established between the source access point and the one or more second access points, the page message, received from the source access point, to the one or more second access points for paging the mobile station.
