METHOD FOR EFFICIENT PAGING OF MOBILE UES USING EXTENDED DRX AND A RANDOMIZED PTWS PROCEDURE

The invention discloses a method for efficient paging of mobile user equipment (UEs), using extended discontinuous reception (eDRX) and a randomized paging time windows (PTWs) procedure. The objective of the present invention to specify a method that allows an efficient paging for mobile user equipment (UEs) which does not go of the power consumption of the UE will be solve by a method comprising the following steps:- step 1: a mobile management entity (MME) determines at least one eNodeB of several eNodeBs located within a tracking area (TA) of a target UE, where a paging time window (PTW) for said UE is starting next, whereas the PTW is indicated by PTW start;- step 2: the MME pages the UE at the at least one eNodeB determined in step 1;- step 3: the MME stops the paging of the target UE if it was successful,- otherwise the MME continues with step 1 until all eNodeBs in the associated TA of the target UE have been proceeded,whereas the paging time windows within an eDRX cycle are pseudo-randomly allocated and non-synchronized between eNodeBs.
