Abstract
Disclosed herein are methods and systems for scheduling pages to mobile stations in a radio access network. An exemplary method involves (a) at a radio access network, determining whether or not a first load that is scheduled for transmission during a first paging period, is greater than a threshold load, (b) if the first load is greater than the threshold load, then (i) determining whether or not a second load that is scheduled for transmission during a second paging period, is less than the threshold load and (ii) if the second load is less than the threshold load, then rescheduling at least a portion of the first load for transmission during the second paging period, and (iii) otherwise, refraining from rescheduling the portion of the first load for transmission during the second paging period.
