ABSTRACT:
A fixed base-site (115) periodically pages subscribers (120) in a paging area (100). To prolong the battery life of the subscribers (120), paging groups (520) are not sent to subscribers (120) as often when the paging load is small. Since the subscribers (120) support discontinuous receive, processing of the pages will not take place as frequently and thus a battery savings is realized. When the fixed base-site (115) receives more pages than can be supported without exceeding a predetermined delay, the fixed base-site (115) dynamically increases the frequency that paging groups (520) are transmitted to subscribers (120). When the paging load decreases, the fixed base-site (115) dynamically decreases the frequency that paging groups (520) are transmitted to subscribers (120) and again a savings in battery life is realized.
