"The requirements yielded by the page mode information element are as follows: a) normal paging: no additional requirements; b) extended paging: the mobile station is required in addition to receive and analyse the next but one message on the PCH; c) paging reorganization: The mobile station shall receive all messages on the CCCH regardless of the BS-AG-BLKS-RES setting. It is required to receive all BCCH messages. When the mobile station receives the next message to its (possibly new) paging subgroup the subsequent action is defined in the page mode information element in that message. d) same as before: No change of page mode from the previous page mode." I think the paging reorganization mode is fine. Does anyone know this mode? I don't know if the mobile phone will answer everytimes if i try to do a paging on it for each successive frame. Or if he will answer the first time and ignore the other paging requests after. In addition, this solution enable the cell phone to listen every frames of the CCCH but I don't know if the BTS is abble to do a paging on the same mobile phone on every frames or if it still needs to follow the BS_PA_MFRMS parameter. I saw that the paging group is calculated from the IMSI. And then the paging block is calculated. Is it calculated in the BTS or in OpenBSC? link of the explanation on the paging : http://etutorials.org/Mobile+devices/gprs+mobile+internet/Chapter+5+Radio+I… Thanks Best regards Eric Cathelinaud 2009/7/15 Eric Cathelinaud <e.cathelinaud(a)googlemail.com

Hello Eric,
On Wed, 15 Jul 2009 11:00:14 +0200, "Eric Cathelinaud" < e.cathelinaud(a)googlemail.com&gt; wrote:
I was just thinking about performing a recursive paging in order to see

much time I have until the battery of a mobile phone run out. Does anyone know if the mobile phone answers at every paging or if it doesn't "listen" all the time? I think it listens periodically. If
anyone
can give me a clue, that would be appreciated.
This is an excerpt from a posting to another mainling list, I just quote it because I don't want to repeat what I already wrote:
- The phone is in "idle" mode (no speech/data traffic) and periodically receives the paging channel (PCH) to find out if its being called. Further the phone measures the signal strength of neighbor cells and every now and then (not that frequent as the above actions) receives the cell information in the broadcast common control channel (BCCH) of the serving cell and of at most six neighbor cells with the strongest signal.
....
- The time between receiving the PCH is determined by a parameter of the serving cell (BS_PA_MFRMS, range 2 to 9). Its measured in 51-multiframes until the PCH for the phone repeats (if you want to know the details have a look at the GSM specs ;-) . The length of a 51-multiframe is 235.8 ms, this means the time between receiving the PCH is in the range 471.9 ms to 2122.2 ms. In this time the idle phone most of the time sleeps or receives the BCCH of the serving cell or one of the neighbor cells with the strongest signal (at most six).

Thanks a lot for the explanation. It's a pity that the minimum period is 2 multiframes. I wish I could realize a paging on a mobile phone every frame but it seems to be impossible finally. Best regards, Eric Cathelinaud
