A mobile station configured to implement paging cycles in a cellular network, the mobile station comprising: at least one processor; and, at least one memory that stores processor-executable instructions, wherein the at least one processor interfaces with the at least one memory to execute the processor-executable instructions, whereby said mobile station is configured to: determine (202, 302, 402) if a serving cell (110 1b) in the cellular network is acceptable to stay camped-on; if result of the determination is that the serving cell is acceptable to stay camped-on, then perform (204a, 304, 404) a first type of synchronizing procedure and attempt (204b, 306, 406) to read a radio block received per a first Discontinuous Reception, DRX, mode, wherein the first DRX mode has a longer time period than a legacy second DRX mode; and, if result of the determination is that the serving cell is not acceptable to stay camped-on or the mobile station is not able to read (208, 306b, 406b) the received radio block, then perform (208a, 310, 408) a second type of synchronizing procedure and attempt to read another radio block, wherein the first type of synchronizing procedure has a shorter duration than the second type of synchronizing procedure. at least one processor; and, at least one memory that stores processor-executable instructions, wherein the at least one processor interfaces with the at least one memory to execute the processor-executable instructions, whereby said mobile station is configured to: determine (202, 302, 402) if a serving cell (110 1b) in the cellular network is acceptable to stay camped-on; if result of the determination is that the serving cell is acceptable to stay camped-on, then perform (204a, 304, 404) a first type of synchronizing procedure and attempt (204b, 306, 406) to read a radio block received per a first Discontinuous Reception, DRX, mode, wherein the first DRX mode has a longer time period than a legacy second DRX mode; and, if result of the determination is that the serving cell is not acceptable to stay camped-on or the mobile station is not able to read (208, 306b, 406b) the received radio block, then perform (208a, 310, 408) a second type of synchronizing procedure and attempt to read another radio block, wherein the first type of synchronizing procedure has a shorter duration than the second type of synchronizing procedure. determine (202, 302, 402) if a serving cell (110 1b) in the cellular network is acceptable to stay camped-on; if result of the determination is that the serving cell is acceptable to stay camped-on, then perform (204a, 304, 404) a first type of synchronizing procedure and attempt (204b, 306, 406) to read a radio block received per a first Discontinuous Reception, DRX, mode, wherein the first DRX mode has a longer time period than a legacy second DRX mode; and, if result of the determination is that the serving cell is not acceptable to stay camped-on or the mobile station is not able to read (208, 306b, 406b) the received radio block, then perform (208a, 310, 408) a second type of synchronizing procedure and attempt to read another radio block, wherein the first type of synchronizing procedure has a shorter duration than the second type of synchronizing procedure.
