Abstract:
A method for selecting an asynchronous paging interval comprising:selecting a set of possible paging schemes for one wireless system;selecting a paging interval for another wireless system that is asynchronous with the paging schemes selected for the one wireless system; and the paging interval has to comply with the multiframe structure employed in another wireless system (FIG. 3) and provides appropriate paging duty cycle to the wireless subscriber;determining, after some number of paging repetitions, the probability of collision between a first paging channel in the one wireless system, and a second paging channel in the other wireless system for diffrent context switch time;reselecting the paging interval for the other wireless system, asynchronous with the paging schemes selected for the one wireless system, and repeating the determining of the probability, until after some number of page repetitions, the probability reaches a prescribed minimum; andreselecting the paging interval for the other wireless system, asynchronous with the paging schemes selected for the one wireless system, and repeating the determining of the probability, until the number of paging repetitions needed to reach the prescribed minimum is reaches a selected minimum.
