1. A method comprising:

  • determining, by a radio access network (RAN) device of a RAN, that a region of the RAN is serving more than a threshold extent of wireless machine-to-machine (M2M) communication devices, wherein the region of the RAN includes a set of one or more wireless coverage areas, and each wireless coverage area in the set of wireless coverage areas includes at least a primary paging channel and a secondary paging channel, and wherein the set of one or more wireless coverage areas also serves non-M2M wireless communication devices; and

    in response to determining that the region of the RAN is serving more than a threshold extent of wireless M2M communication devices, modifying paging channel parameters of each wireless coverage area in the set of wireless coverage areas to increase a rate at which the RAN successfully pages the wireless M2M communication devices via the set of wireless coverage areas, wherein modifying the paging channel parameters of each wireless coverage area in the set of wireless coverage areas comprises disabling the secondary paging channel of each wireless coverage area in the set of wireless coverage areas.
