Abstract
A mechanism for dynamically setting paging transmission power for a given mobile station based on the mobile station's paging slot frequency. For a mobile station that is set to operate at a higher paging slot frequency (e.g., lower slot cycle index), a wireless serving network transmits a page message to the mobile station at a higher power level, in order to increase the likelihood that the mobile station will successfully receive the page message. On the other hand, for a mobile station that is set to operate at a lower paging slot frequency (e.g., a higher slot cycle index), the network transmits a page message at a lower power level.
