Adaptive group paging for a communication network
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A device, comprising:
- a processor; and
a memory that stores executable instructions that, when executed by the processor, facilitate performance of operations, comprising;
determining network load data representing utilization of a network resource for network devices of a communication network associated with the device;
generating a paging message data structure comprising a first data structure and a second data structure, wherein the first data structure is associated with activation data that instructs a group of user equipment devices to switch from an idle state to an active state and the second data structure is associated with group size data indicative of a size of the group of user equipment devices;
determining failure rate data indicative of a proportion of user equipment devices of the group that failed to establish a connection;
determining the group size data as a function of the network load data and the failure rate data; and
storing the group size data in the paging message data structure.

Abstract
When traffic arrives from the network for an idle mobile device, the network executes device activation procedures to awaken the device, which can result in a significant amount of signaling to complete. Adaptive device activation mechanisms are provided that adapt to network conditions and potentially to machine-to-machine device application requests to realize scalable device activation without increasing the resources used for this purpose and without negatively impacting existing human-to-human or human-to-machine traffic.

9. A device, comprising:
-
a processor; and a memory that stores executable instructions that, when executed by the processor, facilitate performance of operations, comprising; receiving a paging message data structure comprising a first data structure and a second data structure, wherein the first data structure comprises activation data that instructs a group of user equipment devices to switch from an idle state to an active state and the second data structure comprises group size data indicative of a size of the group of user equipment devices; determining capacity data indicative of a first number of user equipment device connections supported by the device; determining random access channel backoff data as a function of a ratio of the group size data and the capacity data; updating the random access channel backoff data as a function of random access channel completion rates of random access channel procedures performed by the group of user equipment devices; and facilitating transmission of a paging message comprising the activation data and the random access channel backoff data to the group of user equipment devices. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15)

16. A method, comprising:
-
determining, by a device comprising a processor, network load data representing a utilization parameter for network devices of a communication network associated with the device; determining, by the device, failure rate data indicative of a proportion of user equipment devices of that are paged together as a group that failed to establish a connection; determining, by the device, group size data based on the network load data and the failure rate data, wherein the group size data represents a first number of user equipment devices that are paged as the group; and creating, by the device, a paging message comprising activation data that instructs the user equipment devices to switch from an idle state to an active state and the group size data. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20)
