Reuse of idle paging slots for frames in machine-to-machine (M2M) wireless wide area networks (WAN)

摘要

Methods, systems, and devices for managing wireless communications in a machine-to-machine (M2M) wireless wide area network (WAN) are described. A physical layer frame is generated. A frame used for wireless M2M communication on the forward link in an M2M wireless WAN. Paging slots for M2M devices are generated in the frame in the M2M wireless WAN. A determination is made as to whether the paging slot contains available capacity. If it is determined that the paging slot includes available capacity, system information is inserted into the paging slot.
