Paging for longer paging cycles
First Claim
1. A wireless communication device comprising one or more processors and memory, the memory containing instructions executable by the one or more processors, whereby the wireless commuication device is operable to:
- monitor a paging channel associated with a radio network node according to a non-extended monitoring window operation and a long paging cycle;
receive a paging congestion indicator from the radio network node, wherein the paging congestion indicator is included in a paging message that the wireless communication device receives from the radio network node; and
in response to receiving the paging congestion indicator, perform at least one of;
switching from the non-extended monitoring window operation to an extended monitoring window operation; and
switching from the long paging cycle to a legacy paging cycle.

Abstract
A radio network node receives a page request from a core network node. The page request indicates to page a wireless communication device. The radio network node determines a next occurrence of a monitoring window during which the wireless communication device will monitor a paging channel associated with the radio network node. If the amount of time until the next occurrence of the monitoring window exceeds an amount of time that the radio network node can store the page request, the radio network node discards the page request and sends a response to the core network node indicating that the page request was discarded; the response includes a paging timer value that indicates when the core network node should repeat the page request.
