Abstract
An embodiment of the current invention is directed to a method of reducing the latency associated with communicating data to a mobile device. It is determined that a threshold period of time has elapsed since a mobile device has communicated a location-determining message. A request for the mobile device to transition to a quick-paging recognition mode is sent to a mobile device configured to perform a process. The process includes: sending a response to the first request as a location-determining message; transitioning to a quick-page recognition mode; receiving an indication to receive a paging-channel message; acquiring the paging-channel message; and returning to the quick-page recognition mode.
