Abstract:
1. A method for reducing a paging zone for a mobile station in a wireless communication system, the wireless communication system including a plurality of base stations capable of supporting a plurality of application types, the method comprising: determining a radius of the paging zone; receiving a location update for the mobile station; receiving a call setup request for the mobile station, the call setup request associated with an application type; and reducing the radius of the paging zone, wherein the step of reducing the radius of the paging zone is determined by the following parameters: the application type, a speed of the mobile station and an amount of time elapsed since receiving the location update, wherein the step of reducing the radius of the paging zone further comprises: assigning a multiplier function to each supported application type, the multiplier function a function of normalized time; multiplying the radius of the paging zone by the multiplier function assigned to the application type associated with the call setup request; and determining the reduced radius at the time elapsed since receiving the location update.
