Abstract

A network node is arranged to operate in a cell of a cellular communication system. The network node includes an interface towards the cellular communication system where the interface is arranged to receive paging information for an idle user equipment, UE, a paging handler arranged to determine a mode of power saving for the UE, and to determine timing for a wake-up signal based on the determined mode and the received paging information, and a transmitter arranged to transmit the wake-up signal at the determined timing. A method of the network node includes receiving paging information for an idle user equipment, UE, from the cellular communication system, determining a mode of power saving for the UE, determining timing for a wake-up signal based on the determined mode and the received paging information, and transmitting the wake-up signal at the determined timing.
