Abstract
In an embodiment, if service on both first and second networks is available, an access terminal negotiates with an access network to establish a paging cycle for the first network (e.g., 1x EV-DO) and a first dynamic paging cycle for the second network (e.g., CDMA2000 1x). If service on the second network is maintained but service on the first network becomes unavailable, the access network negotiates a second dynamic paging cycle (e.g., more aggressive or shorter than the first dynamic paging cycle) for the second network. If the access terminal determines that service on the second network is maintained and service is again available on the first network, the access terminal re-negotiates the first dynamic paging cycle for the second network. Accordingly, paging cycles on the second network are dynamically adjusted based on a service availability status of the first network.
