SYSTEMS, METHODS, AND COMPUTER PROGRAM PRODUCTS FOR DELAYING A USER EQUIPMENT PAGING OPERATION IN A NETWORK BASED ON PROPAGATION CHANNEL CHARACTERISTICS

摘要

A method of operating a network node includes receiving a request to trigger a paging procedure based on receipt of downlink data in a core network from an application server (AS) and determining, responsive to receiving the request to trigger the paging procedure, whether to delay paging of a user equipment (UE) based on characteristics of a propagation channel for data communication associated with the UE.
