Patent ID: 11102753

Abstract:
A method and a first network node (200) of a wireless network, for handling paging of a wireless device. A Radio Access Network Area, RANA, which is supported by the first network node (200), is registered (2:1) in a database (202) by network nodes IN supporting the RANA, including the first network node (200). The network nodes (204) that support the RANA are then identified (2:3) in the database (202). When it is detected (2:2) that a wireless device (D1) needs to be paged in the RANA, e.g. for receiving data, a paging message is distributed (2:4) to the identified set of network nodes (204) as an instruction to perform radio transmission of the paging message. Further, which is available to the network nodes throughout the wireless network. Thereby, any network node in the wireless network, such as the first network node (200), is able to perform distribution of a paging message to all network nodes that support a particular RANA, as registered in the database (202).
