Individual and group paging in a wireless network
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A system for individual and group paging of a wireless device via a wireless communications network, comprising:
- the wireless device configured to;
set a paging cycle for the wireless device to include a paging listening interval (PLI) and a paging unavailable interval (PUI) during a pre-defined period, wherein one PUI and one PLI constitute the paging cycle;
set a group paging cycle for a device group of a plurality of wireless devices to include a group paging listening interval (GPLI) and a group paging unavailable interval (GPUI) during a group pre-defined period, wherein one GPUI and one GPLI constitute the group paging cycle;
use the paging cycle to receive paging messages via the wireless communications network;
receive a group paging indicator for the device group during the PLI of the paging cycle; and
transition one or more of the plurality of wireless devices in the device group from idle mode to connected mode during the GPLI, based on reception of the group paging indicator in the PLI, to receive group traffic for the device group in a group paging event.

Abstract
Methods and systems are described for individual and group paging of a wireless device via a wireless communications network. The method can include setting a paging cycle and a paging offset for the wireless device. A wireless device can be assigned to a device group using a device group identifier. The wireless device can wake up to check for paging events received via the wireless communication network during a portion of the paging cycle. A further operation can be receiving a group paging event for the device group at the wireless device during the portion of the paging cycle.

19. A method for individual and group paging of a wireless device via a wireless communications network, comprising:
-
setting an individual paging cycle, individual paging offset, and individual paging listening interval (IPLI) for the wireless device such that setting the individual paging cycle includes the IPLI and an individual paging unavailable interval (IPUI) during a pre-defined period, wherein one IPUI and one IPLI constitute the individual paging cycle; setting a group paging cycle for a device group of a plurality of wireless devices to include, group paging offset, a group paging unavailable interval (GPUI) and group paging listening interval (GPLI) during a group pre-defined period, wherein one GPUI and one GPLI constitute the group paging cycle; waking the wireless device to check for a paging event during the IPLI of the paging cycle; and receiving a group paging indicator during the IPLI at the wireless device; transitioning one or more of the plurality of wireless devices in the device group from idle mode to connected mode during the GPLI, based on reception of the group paging indicator in the IPLI, to receive group traffic for the device group in a group paging event. - View Dependent Claims (20, 21)

22. A method for individual and group paging of a mobile station via a wireless communications network, comprising:
-
setting a paging cycle and a paging offset for the mobile station such that setting the paging cycle includes a paging listening interval (PLI) and a paging unavailable interval (PUI) during a pre-defined period, wherein one PUI and one PLI constitute the paging cycle; setting a group paging cycle for a device group of a plurality of wireless devices to include a group paging listening interval (GPLI) and a group paging unavailable interval (GPUI) during a group pre-defined period, wherein one GPUI and one GPLI constitute the group paging cycle assigning the mobile station to a device group using a Machine-to Machine group identifier (MGID); waking the mobile station to check for paging events received via the wireless communication network during a portion of the paging cycle; receiving a group paging indicator for the device group at the mobile station during the PLI of the paging cycle; and transitioning one or more of the plurality of wireless devices in the device group from idle mode to connected mode during the GPLI, based on reception of the group paging indicator in the PLI, to receive group traffic for the device group in a group paging event. - View Dependent Claims (23, 24, 25, 26)
