"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?

Hello Eric,

I was just thinking about performing a recursive paging in order to see

much time I have until the battery of a mobile

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).
Best regards,
Dieter

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,
