Abstract
A wireless communication system to deliver pages to wireless communication devices based on a Wireless Fidelity (WIFI) network identifier. Orthogonal Frequency-Division Multiplexing (OFDM) access points exchange wireless communications to serve a wireless communication device and transfer corresponding service messages to a paging control system. The paging control system processes the service messages to identify the current OFDM access point serving the wireless communication device. A WIFI gateway system receives a series of authorization requests for the wireless communication device to access a series of WIFI communication networks. The authorization requests indicate WIFI network identifiers. The WIFI gateway system transfers WIFI access authorizations to the WIFI communication networks. The wireless communication device is idle on the OFDM access points when on a WIFI communication network. In response to receiving the authorization requests, the WIFI gateway system translates the WIFI network identifiers into corresponding OFDM access point identifiers and transfers the corresponding OFDM access point identifiers to the paging control system. The paging control system processes the corresponding OFDM access point identifiers to identify the current OFDM access point serving the wireless communication device when the wireless communication device is idle on the OFDM network.
