Abstract
A method for paging a mobile station where the mobile station (-) may be in a dormant state is described. The method begins by sending a first paging message () in a first zone () of a given area to a selected mobile station wherein the first paging message is sent at the beginning of a paging interval (). A base station (-) then receives a response to the paging message when the mobile station is in the first zone. When the response to the first paging message is not received, a second paging message () is sent in a second zone () of the given area. The second paging message is sent at a first offset () from the sending of the first paging message wherein this first offset occurs less than one paging interval after the sending of the first page message.
