Techniques to communicate information between foreign agents and paging controllers
First Claim
1. An apparatus comprising a foreign agent having a foreign agent idle mode manager to store at least one paging controller identifier associated with an idle mode mobile station for a subnet, said subnet having multiple paging controllers and associated paging groups, said foreign agent to send a paging request with a mobile station identifier for said idle mode mobile station to at least one of said multiple paging controllers corresponding to said at least one paging controller identifier.

Abstract
Systems and techniques to communicate information between foreign agents and paging controllers are described. An apparatus may comprise a foreign agent having a foreign agent idle mode manager to store at least one paging controller identifier associated with an idle mode mobile station for a subnet. The subnet may have multiple paging controllers and associated paging groups. The foreign agent may send a paging request with a mobile station identifier for the idle mode mobile station to at least one of the multiple paging controllers corresponding to the at least one paging controller identifier. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
