Paging of a user equipment (UE) within a wireless communications system

A user equipment (UE) configured to activate a data session within a wireless communications system operating in accordance with a given wireless communications protocol, comprising:

• means for determining to activate the data session for the UE;
• means for configuring, based on the determination, a data session activation request message to include an indication of an association with communication sessions of a given type;
• means for transmitting the data session activation request message to an access network;
• means for receiving a set-up message that allocates an aggressive paging cycle to the UE, the allocation of the aggressive paging cycle based at least in part upon the indication contained in the data session activation request message;
• and
• means for monitoring a downlink channel associated with paging from the access network in accordance with the aggressive paging cycle.

A user equipment (UE) configured to activate a data session within a wireless communications system operating in accordance with a given wireless communications protocol, comprising:

• logic configured to determine to activate the data session for the UE;
• logic configured to configure, based on the determination, a data session activation request message to include an indication of an association with communication sessions of a given type;
• logic configured to transmit the data session activation request message to an access network;
• logic configured to receive a set-up message that allocates an aggressive paging cycle to the UE, the allocation of the aggressive paging cycle based at least in part upon the indication contained in the data session activation request message;
• and
• logic configured to monitor a downlink channel associated with paging from the access network in accordance with the aggressive paging cycle.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium containing instructions which, when executed by a user equipment (UE) configured to activate a data session within a wireless communications system operating in accordance with a given wireless communications protocol, cause the UE to perform operations, the instructions comprising:

• program code to determine to activate the data session for the UE;
• program code to configure, based on the determination, a data session activation request message to include an indication of an association with communication sessions of a given type;
• program code to transmit the data session activation request message to an access network;
• program code to receive a set-up message that allocates an aggressive paging cycle to the UE, the allocation of the aggressive paging cycle based at least in part upon the indication contained in the data session activation request message;
• and
• program code monitor a downlink channel associated with paging from the access network in accordance with the aggressive paging cycle.
