1. A method of establishing paging cycles in a wireless communications system, comprising:

  • receiving a paging cycle request from each of the plurality of mobile stations via one or more base stations;

    in response to the paging cycle requests, transmitting commands from the one or more base stations to each of the plurality of mobile stations to;

    assign a first portion of a plurality of mobile stations to a first paging group, wherein mobile stations in the first paging group can be paged in paging cycles at a first time interval between paging cycles;

    assign a second portion of the plurality of mobile stations to a second paging group, wherein mobile stations in the second paging group can be paged in paging cycles at a second time interval between paging cycles, the second time interval being twice the first time interval; and

    assign each of the mobile stations in the second paging group to a first subgroup or a second subgroup, wherein mobile stations in the first subgroup and mobile stations in the second subgroup can be paged in alternating respective ones of the paging cycles together with all of the mobile stations in the first paging group, such that mobile stations in the first subgroup are not paged in the same paging cycle as mobile stations in the second subgroup.
