Techniques to assign multiple identifiers in a wireless network
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method performed by a computing device, the method comprising:
- receiving a Network Access Provider (NAP) domain identifierdetermining a paging identifier of a mobile station, the paging identifier being either independent of the NAP domain identifier or based on the NAP domain identifier; and
transmitting one of a NAP domain identifier or a paging identifier to at least one node in a network wherein the transmitting one of a NAP domain identifier or a paging identifier to at least one node in a network do not expose a media access control (MAC) address of the mobile station.

Abstract
Techniques are described that can be used to assign identifiers to mobile stations in a Network Access Provider (NAP) domain and a paging identifier. In some cases, the NAP identifier and paging identifier can be unique in the NAP domain and the paging group domain. The paging identifier can be derived from a NAP identifier.

6. A method comprising:
-
determining a unique Network Access Provider (NAP) domain identifier of a mobile station; determining a paging identifier for the mobile station based on the NAP domain identifier; determining another NAP domain identifier that is unique in the NAP domain of the mobile station in response to the paging identifier not being unique in a paging domain of the mobile station; and transmitting a unique NAP domain identifier to a paging controller. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10, 11, 12)

13. A computer-readable medium comprising instructions stored thereon, which when executed by a computer cause the computer to:
-
request to store a received Network Access Provider (NAP) domain identifier; determine a paging identifier of a mobile station, the paging identifier based on the NAP domain identifier; request to store the paging identifier; and request to transmit the NAP domain identifier in connection with a communication with at least one node in a network. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16)

17. A system comprising:
-
one or more antennae; a wireless network interface communicatively coupled to the one or more antennae; a memory; and a processor communicatively coupled to the wireless network interface and the memory, the processor configured to; request to store a received Network Access Provider (NAP) domain identifier in the memory, determine a paging identifier of a mobile station, the paging identifier based on the NAP domain identifier, request to store the paging identifier in the memory, and request to transmit the NAP domain identifier in connection with a communication with at least one node in a network. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20)

21. A mobile station comprising:
-
one or more antennae; at least one memory; and at least one processor communicatively coupled to the one or more antennae and the at least one memory, the at least one processor configured to; access a received Network Access Provider (NAP) domain identifier; determine a paging identifier of the mobile station, the paging identifier being either independent of the NAP domain identifier or based on the NAP domain identifier; and cause transmission of one of a NAP domain identifier or a paging identifier to at least one node in a network, wherein the transmission of one of a NAP domain identifier or a paging identifier to at least one node in a network do not expose a media access control (MAC) address of the mobile station. - View Dependent Claims (22, 23, 24)
