ABSTRACT:
In one illustrative example, a mobile communication device transmits a slot reservation indication to the wireless network for reserving each nth paging slot assigned to the mobile device. At some point in time, a page message request for paging the mobile device is received within the wireless network. A page message for paging the mobile device is refrained from being transmitted within a reserved paging slot, but rather within a subsequent paging slot assigned to the mobile device after a lapse of time associated with the reserved paging slot. During the slot reservation, the mobile device may perform a function such as a GPS location fix or network scanning operation.
