Abstract
A network configuration capable of using a paging activity sink to aggregate and analyze flood of paging messages during an idle mode is disclosed. In one embodiment, a process using the paging activity sink is able to detect an idle mode of end user (“EU”) equipment in a communication network. Upon detecting a downstream push data such as push mail addressing to the EU equipment indicating a pending message, a predefined portion of data from the first downstream push data is copied or duplicated to form a copy of paging announcement. While sending the downstream push data to the EU equipment, the process forwards the copy of paging announcement to a network element (“NE”) such as a paging activity server for analyzing paging activities.
