| 20080287134 | REDUCING MOBILE-TERMINATED CALL SET UP BY IDENTIFYING AND MITIGATING OVERLAP BETWEEN PAGING AND SYSTEM INFORMATION BROADCAST - In a Universal Mobile Telecommunications (UMTS) system, a mobile device reads scheduling information for uplink interference (SIB7) from a Master Information Block, broadcasted on the Broadcast Channel (BCCH).

When the wireless terminal learns from the beacon that there are packets waiting, it communicates with the access point to retrieve them. The server records a listen time at which the wireless terminal will wake up and listen to the AP based on the listen interval. When a network node calls the wireless terminal, the server buffers the request for a time interval based on the listen time, and then sends the request to the wireless terminal. | 07-23-2009 |
