Methods and devices for inclusion of data in paging messages
First Claim
1. A method, performed in a network node, the method comprising:
- obtaining a paging area in which paging data is to be transmitted to a wireless device, the paging area comprising multiple transmission points;
selecting a subset of the multiple transmission points of the paging area, based on a selection criterion;
initiating transmission of a paging transmission in the paging area, wherein the paging transmission comprises first data and second data targeting the wireless device when transmitted from the transmission points of the selected subset of the multiple transmission points, wherein the first data comprises the paging data and the second data comprises information not comprised in the first data, and wherein the paging transmission comprises only the first data when transmitted from other transmission points of the paging area.

Abstract
The disclosure relates to methods, devices, and computer programs in mobile communications. More specifically, the disclosure relates to a method, performed in a network node, for transmitting data to a wireless device. The method comprises obtaining a paging area for transmitting paging data to the wireless device, the paging area comprising multiple transmission points. The method further comprises selecting a subset of the multiple transmission points, based on a selection criterion, and initiating transmission of a paging transmission in the paging area. The paging transmission comprises first data and second data targeting the wireless device when transmitted from the transmission points of the selected subset of the multiple transmission points. The first data comprises the paging data and the second data comprises information not comprised in the first data. Moreover, the paging transmission comprises only the first data when transmitted from other transmission points of the paging area.
