Abstract
The present invention relates to a method in the radio access node for paging user equipment attached to a radio network. The steps performed by the radio access node include receiving (31) a core network paging message from a core network. A request for paging of the user equipment in a set of neighboring radio access nodes using paging level information in the core network paging message is identified (32), wherein the paging level information may include information that an escalated page is to be performed. A radio access node paging instruction is generated (33) in the radio access node receiving the paging message; the paging instruction including an escalated page instruction. The paging instruction is sent (34) to the set of neighboring radio access nodes, whereupon a page is initiated in at least one cell of each neighboring radio access node. The invention also relates to a radio access node configured to perform the inventive method.
