- Combined AMPS & CDMA systems are described in T1A/EIA Standard IS-98.
- Other communications systems are described in the IMT- 2000/UM, or International Mobile Telecommunications System 2000/Univcrsal Mobile Telecommunications System, standards covering what are referred to as wideband CDMA (WCDMA), CDMA2000 (such as CDMA2000 IxEV-DO standards, for example) or TD-SCDMA.

- PTT can support a "dispatch" voice service that operates over standard commercial wireless infrastructures, such as CDMA, FDMA, TDMA, GSM, etc.
- a dispatch model communication between endpoints (ATs) occurs within virtual groups, wherein the voice of one "talker” is transmitted to one or more "listeners. ' '
- a single instance of this type of communication is commonly referred to as a dispatch call, or simply a PTT call.
- a PTT call is an instantiation of a group, which dei ⁇ nes the characteristics of a call.
- a group in essence is defined by a member list and associated information, such as group name or group identification.
- a transmission of data to a single destination is referred to as "unicasl”.
- a “broadcast” refers to a transmission of data packets to all destinations or access terminals (e.g., within a given cell, served by a given service provider, etc.), while a “multicast” refers to a transmission of data packets to a given group of destinations or access terminals.
- the given group of destinations or "multicast group” may include more than one and less than all of possible destinations or access terminals (e.g., within a given group, served by a given service provider, etc.). However, it is at least possible in certain situations that the multicast group comprises only one access terminal, similar to a unicast, or alternatively thai the multicast group comprises all access terminals (e.g., within a given cell, etc), similar to a broadcast.
- Broadcasts and/or multicasls may be performed within wireless communication systems in a number of ways, such as performing a plurality of sequential unicast operations to accommodate the multicast group, allocating a unique broadcast/multicast channel (BCH) for handling multiple data transmissions at the same time and the like.
- BCH broadcast/multicast channel
- a conventional system using a broadcast channel for push-to-talk communications is described in United States Patent Application Publication No. 2007/0049314 dated March 1, 2007 and entitled "Push-To-Talk Group Call System Using CDMA I x-FA 7 DO Cellular Network", the contents of which are incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.
- a broadcast channel can be used for push-to-talk calls using conventional signaling techniques.
- the use of a broadcast channel may improve bandwidth requirements over conventional unicast techniques, the conventional signaling of the broadcast channel can still result in additional overhead and/or delay and may degrade system performance.
- 3GPP2 The 3 ro Generation Partnership Project 2 (“3GPP2") defines a broadcast- multicast service (BCMCS) specification for supporting multicast Communications in CDMA20Q0 networks. Accordingly, a version of 3GPP2's BCMCS specification, entitled “CDMA2000 High Rate Broadcast-Multicast Packet Data Air Interface Specification", dated February 14, 2006, Version 1.0 C.S0054-A, is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety.

- an access terminal 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., Ix EV-DO) and a first dynamic paging cycle for the second network (e.g., CDMA2000 Ix). 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 sendee 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.

- the wireless communication between the access terminal 102 and the RAN 120 can be based on different technologies, such as code division multiple access (CDMA), WCDMA, time division multiple access (TDMA), frequency division multiple access (FDMA), Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM), the Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM), or other protocols that may be used in a wireless communications network or a data communications network.
- CDMA code division multiple access
- WCDMA time division multiple access
- FDMA frequency division multiple access
- OFDM Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing
- GSM Global System for Mobile Communications
- the data communication is typically between the client device 102, MPT/BS 124, and BSC/PCF 122.
- the BSC/PCF 122 can be connected to multiple data networks such as the carrier network 126, PSTN, the Internet, a virtual private network, and the like, thus allowing the access terminal 102 access to a broader communication network.
- voice transmission and/or data can be transmitted to the access terminals from the RAN using a variety of networks and configurations. Accordingly, the illustrations provided herein are riot intended to limit the embodiments of the invention and are merely to aid in the description of aspects of embodiments of the invention.
- AT 200 can be configured to monitor data and/or other messaging from a first network such as Ix EV-DO, arid can also be configured to monitor data and/or other messaging from a second network such as CDMA2000 Ix.
- the antenna 222 of AT 200 can include multiple antennas, such as a primary antenna (e.g., having a higher sensitivity) and a secondary antenna (e.g., having a lower sensitivity), and can allocate the primary antenna substantially to the first network, and can allocate the secondary antenna substantially to the second network.
- the antenna 222 of AT 200 can include a single antenna, with the single antenna switching between the first and second networks as necessary (e.g., to monitor pages on each network when the AT is dormant, etc.).
- the first network e.g., Ix EV-DO
- the second network e.g., CDMA2000 Ix
- ATs may prefer to establish Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) sessions with the first network rather than the second network.
- PPP is a data link protocol commonly used to establish a direct connection between two networking nodes.
- establishing a PPP session over a given network means that a PPP connection has been established between the RAN 120 and the AT for that particular network, such that the RAN 120 can simply page the AT and then begin sending data without additional call set-up procedures.
- Establishing a PPP session docs not necessarily mean that the AT is actually exchanging data with the RAN 120.
- the AT can establish a PPP session over the first and/or the second network while still being in dormant mode. In dormant mode, the AT monitors the first and/or second networks for pages from the RAN 120, but does not actually have a traffic channel (TCH) that is continuously monitored and/or transmitted upon for data exchanges with the RAN 120.
- TCH traffic channel
- the AT Whenever an AT is dormant, or does not have an active TCH for a current communication session on any monitored network, the AT periodically wakes up and monitors a downlink control channel (CCH) or downlink paging channel (PCH) from the RAN 120 within each network being monitored by the AT. Assuming that the AT is not being paged by the RAN 120, the AT then goes back to sleep until waking up again to check whether the AT is being paged at a next paging cycle, or until a user of the AT requests that data be sent to the RAN 120. As will be appreciated by one of ordinary skill in the art, shorter paging cycles decrease call set-up time for the AT because the AT can potentially respond more quickly when the RAN 120 has data to send to the AT.
- CCH downlink control channel
- PCH downlink paging channel
- FlG. 4A illustrates a conventional process of monitoring a downlink channel for pages on each of a i ⁇ rst network (e.g., Ix EV-DO) and a second network (e.g., CDMA2000 Ix).
- a i ⁇ rst network e.g., Ix EV-DO
- a second network e.g., CDMA2000 Ix
- a given AT negotiates with the RAN 120 in order to establish a first static paging cycle for page-monitoring on the i ⁇ rst network when service on the first network is available, 400, and the given AT also negotiates with the RAN 120 to establish a second static paging cycle for page-monitoring on the second network when service on the second network is available, 405.
- the given AT can request a desired paging cycle for the first and second networks in 400 and 405, respectively, and the RAN 120 can accept the requested paging cycles if the cycles are supportable by the RAN 120.
- the first and second paging cycles negotiated in 400 and 405 are 'static' in the sense that the paging cycles do not change during the process of FIG.
- the (Irs! static paging cycle can be set to a relatively aggressive paging cycle in 400 (e.g., 213 ins), such that the given AT will monitor for pages frequently in order Io reduce call sel-up times when the RAN 120 has data to send to the given AT.
- a relatively aggressive paging cycle in 400 e.g., 213 ins
- the given AT will monitor for pages frequently in order Io reduce call sel-up times when the RAN 120 has data to send to the given AT.
- a relatively aggressive paging cycle e.g., 213 ins
- the second static paging cycle in 405 it is somewhat less important for the second static paging cycle in 405 to be set as aggressively as the first static paging cycle, This is because, when possible, the RAN 120 and the given AT will attempt to exchange data over the first network due to the first network's superior data-transfer characteristics.
- the RAN 120 may still, from time to time, wish to send data to the given AT over the second network (e.g., for low-data-rate calls such as voice-calls, or when service on the first network is unavailable), Thus, the given AT cannot simply ignore the second network altogether, As will be appreciated by one of ordinary skill in the art, if the second static paging cycle is set to a relatively long period such thai the given AT checks for pages less frequently (e.g., 3 seconds, 5 seconds, etc.), the given AT can conserve battery power. However, in the event that the RAN 120 pages the given AT on the second network, the associated call-setup latency or standby time is increased. Likewise, if the second static paging cycle is set to a more aggressive level (e.g., 1 second, etc.), call set-up latency is reduced while battery power consumption is increased.
- a more aggressive level e.g., 1 second, etc.
- the given AT establishes a PPP session on the first network.
- establishing the PPP session can include bringing up a traffic channel (TCH) for a brief period of time.
- TCH traffic channel
- the given AT After the PPP session is established, the given AT returns to dormant mode and tears down the TCH.
- the given AT being in dormant mode means that after the PPP session is set-up for the given AT on the first network, the given AT is not allocated a TCH and is not yet engaged in an active communication session.
- the given AT has determined service to be available on both the first and second networks. Accordingly, the given AT periodically monitors for pages on the firs! network in accordance with the first static paging cycle, 415, and periodically monitors for pages on the second network in accordance with the second static paging cycle, 420, The given AT also periodically determines whether service on the first network remains available, 425 (e.g., by measuring the signal strength of a pilot signal on the first network and determining whether the signal strength of the pilot signal is above a threshold level, by measuring frame error rate (FER) of paging messages on a downlink paging canncl (PCH) or control channel (CCH), and/or based on some other network performance metric).
- FER frame error rate
- the given AT can also periodically determine whether service on the second network also remains available, but for convenience of explanation FlG. 4A has been described assuming that service on the second network remains available throughout the process. f 0045] In 425, if the given AT determines that service on the first network remains available, the process returns to 415. Otherwise, if the given AT determines that service on the first network is no longer available, the given AT establishes a PPP session on the second network (e.g., by briefly bringing up a TCH), and the given AT then returns to dormant mode (e.g., after the TCH is released or torn down), 430. As discussed above, the given AT being in dormant mode means that after the PPP session is set-up for the given AT on the second network, the given AT is not allocated a TCH and is not yet engaged in an active communication session.
- the given AT continues to periodically monitor for pages on the second network in accordance with the second static paging cycle.
- the given AT also periodically checks whether sendee on the i ⁇ rst network has become available again, 440 (e.g., by waking up and attempting to search for a pilot signal from the first network, or by tracking the FER of paging messages on the first network's downlink PCH or CCH, etc.).
- the periodic checking of 440 occurs much less frequently than pages were monitored for in accordance with the first static paging cycle.
- the first static paging cycle may be 213 ras, and the service-check interval in 440 may be 40 seconds or 80 seconds. If the given AT determines that service on the first network remains unavailable in 445, the process returns to 435. Otherwise, if the given AT determines that service on the first network is again available in 445, the process returns to 410.
- FlG. 4B illustrates an example of paging cycles on the first and second networks for the given AT in accordance with the process of FIG. 4A if the second static paging cycle is set to be relatively long
- FIG. 4C illustrates an example of paging cycles on the first and second networks for the given AT in accordance with the process of FlG. 4A if the second static paging cycle is set to be relatively short.
- each paging cycle of the first and second networks is shown as having paging cycles that does not overlap with paging cycles of the other network because in a single-antenna scenario one antenna cannot monitor multiple networks at the same time.
- a multi- antenna configuration can have one or more antennas monitor the first network while also having one or more antennas monitoring the second network.
- the paging cycles illustrated in FIGS. 4B and/or 4C could overlap.
- the first network is monitored in accordance with a relatively aggressive or short first static paging cycle, 415, and the second network is monitored in accordance with a less aggressive or longer paging cycle (i.e., the second static paging cycle) , 420.
- the PPP session is again established on the first network in 415, the given AT resumes monitoring the first network in accordance with a relatively aggressive or short first static paging cycle (i.e., the first static paging cycle), 415, and the given AT continues monitoring the second network in accordance with less aggressive or longer paging cycle, 420.
- a relatively aggressive or short first static paging cycle i.e., the first static paging cycle
- the relatively long paging cycle for the second network means the given AT consumes a relatively low amount of battery power, but pages related to potentially time-sensitive data transfers received at 435 when the first network is unavailable may suffer from high call set-up latency.
- the (Irs! network is monitored in accordance with a relatively aggressive or short first static paging cycle, 415, and the second network is also monitored in accordance with a relatively aggressive or shorter paging cycle (i.e., the second static paging cycle), 420.
- a relatively aggressive or shorter paging cycle i.e., the second static paging cycle
- the paging cycles on the first and second networks are illustrated as non-overlapping but having the same intervals, it will be appreciated that one or more of the paging cycles of the first and second networks can overlap, and also that the paging cycles of the first and second networks need not be exactly the same even where the second static paging cycle is set relatively aggressive, f 0050] Referring to FIG.
- the PPP session is established on the second network and the given AT continues monitoring the second network in accordance with the aggressive or shorter paging cycle, 435, while the given AT infrequently determines whether sendee on the first network has been re-established, 440.
- the PPP session is again established on the first network in 415, the given AT resumes monitoring the first network in accordance with a relatively aggressive or short first static paging cycle, 415, and the given AT continues monitoring the second network in accordance with the aggressive or shorter paging cycle, 420 (i.e., the second static paging cycle).
- embodiments of the invention are directed to dynamically adjusting the paging cycle on the second network based on whether service is available on the first network. As will be described below in more detail with respect to FIGS.
- the paging cycle on the second network can be set to a relatively long period when service on the ilrst network is available because the given AT can rely primarily on the first network for its data communication sessions, whereas the second network can be set to a relatively short or aggressive period when service on the first network is not available because the given AT cannot rely on the first network for its data communication sessions.
- FIG. 5 A illustrates a process of monitoring a downlink channel for pages on each of a first network (e.g., Ix EV-DO) and a second network (e.g., CDMA20G0 Ix) in accordance with an embodiment of the invention
- a given AT establishes and stores a paging cycle (e.g., 213 ms) for page-monitoring on the first network when service on the first network is available, 500.
- the paging cycle established in 500 for the first network may be static (e.g., may remain the same irrespective of whether sendee is available on the second network).
- the paging cycle established and stored in 500 may be specific to a particular application that is intended to run on the first network, such as a PTT application.
- the established paging cycle in 500 can be stored in non-volatile memory of the memory 212 of the given AT, such as in a provisionable field of the given AT's file system, [0053] Referring to FIG.
- the given AT establishes and stores a first dynamic paging cycle (e.g., 5 seconds, 3 seconds, etc.) for page-monitoring on the second network when service on both the first and second networks is available, 502, and the given AT also establishes and stores a second dynamic paging cycle for page- monitoring on the second network when service on the first network is not available and service on the second network is available, 505.
- a first dynamic paging cycle e.g., 5 seconds, 3 seconds, etc.
- the given AT also establishes and stores a second dynamic paging cycle for page- monitoring on the second network when service on the first network is not available and service on the second network is available, 505.
- the paging cycles established in 502 and 505 can be stored in non-volatile memory of the memory 212 of the given AT, such as in provisionable fields of the given AT's file system.
- the process of FIG. 5 A permits multiple paging cycles of the second network based on the status of the first network.
- the first dynamic paging cycle is set to a less aggressive setting or longer period (e.g., 3 seconds, 5 seconds, etc.) than the second dynamic paging cycle (e.g., 213 ms, 1.28 seconds, ,ctc), because the first dynamic paging cycle is used when the (Irs! network can be relied upon for data service.
- the given AT negotiates with the RAN 120 in order to establish the paging cycle from 500 for page-monitoring on the first network, and the given AT also negotiates with the RAN 120 to establish the first dynamic paging cycle for page- monitoring on the second network, 512.
- the given AT can request a desired paging cycle for the first and second networks in 510 and 512, respectively, and the RAN 120 can accept the requested paging cycles if the cycles arc supportable by the IiAN 120.
- the given AT establishes a PPP session on the first network.
- establishing the PPP session can include bringing up a traffic channel (TCF!) for a brief period of time.
- TCF traffic channel
- the given AT After the PPP session is established, the given AT returns to dormant mode and tears down the TCFI, As discussed above, the given AT being in dormant mode means that after the PPP session is set-up for the given AT on the first network, the given AT is not allocated a TCF! and is not yet engaged in an active communication session.
- the given AT has determined service Io be available on both the first and second networks. Accordingly, the given AT periodically monitors for pages on the first network in accordance with the first network's paging cycle, 520, and the given AT also periodically monitors for pages on the second network in accordance with the first dynamic paging cycle, 525. It will be appreciated that the first dynamic paging cycle is used for monitoring the second network in 525 because service is available on both the first and second networks at this point.
- the given AT also periodically determines whether service on the first network remains available, 530 (e.g., by monitoring a pilot signal strength of the first network as measured at the given AT).
- the given AT may not be able to monitor the first network (e.g., Ix EV-DO) to determine whether service is still available.
- blocks 525 and 530 are performed assuming that the given AT remains dormant at this point. While not shown in FIG. 5A, the given AT can also periodically determine whether service on the second network also remains available, but for convenience of explanation FIG.
- 5A has been described assuming that service on the second network remains available throughout the process.
- the process returns to 520. Otherwise, if the given AT determines that service on the first network is no longer available, the given AT loads the second dynamic paging cycle established in 505 from memory and negotiates the second dynamic paging cycle with the RAN 120 (e.g., by sending a configuration message to the RAN 120 to request the new paging cycle, and receiving an acceptance of the requested paging cycle change), 532.
- the given AT also establishes a PPP session on the second network (e.g., by temporarily bringing up a TCFl), and the given AT then returns to dormant mode, 535, As discussed above, the given AT being in dormant mode means that after the PPP session is set-up for the given AT on the second network, the given AT is not allocated a TCH and is not yet engaged in an active communication session.
- the given AT periodically monitors for pages on the second network in accordance with the second dynamic paging cycle as negotiated in 532. It will be appreciated that the second dynamic paging cycle is used for monitoring the second network in 540 because service is available on the second network but is not available on the first network at this point.
- the given AT also periodically checks whether service on the first network has become available again, 545 (e.g., by searching for a pilot signal from the first network), As noted, the periodic check of 545 can occur unless the given AT is engaged in an active data communication session on the second network, in which case the given AT may not necessarily have the resources to track the availability of the first network. Thus, assuming the given AT remains dormant, the periodic checking of 545 occurs much less frequently than pages were monitored for in accordance with the first network's paging cycle in 520. In an example, the first network's paging cycle in 520 may be 213 ms, and the sendee-check interval in 545 may be 40 seconds or 80 seconds.
- each paging cycle of the first and second networks is shown as having paging cycles that do not overlap with paging cycles of the other network because in a single-antenna scenario one antenna cannot monitor multiple networks at the same time.
- a multi-antenna configuration can have one or more antennas monitor the first network while also having one or more antennas monitoring the second network.
- the paging cycles illustrates in FIG. 5B could overlap in other embodiments of the invention.
- the first network is monitored in accordance with a relatively aggressive or short paging cycle, 520, and the second network is monitored in accordance with the first dynamic paging cycle (e.g., a less aggressive or longer paging cycle), 525.
- the PPP session is established on the second network and the given AT transitions to the more-aggressive second dynamic paging cycle, 540, while the given AT infrequently determines whether service on the first network has been re-established (if possible), 545 (e.g., every 40 seconds, ever ⁇ ' 80 seconds, etc.).
- the PPP session is again established on the first network in 515, the given AT resumes monitoring the first network in accordance with a relatively aggressive paging cycle of the first network, 520, and the given AT transitions from the second dynamic paging cycle back to the first dynamic paging cycle and thereby resumes monitoring the second network in accordance with a less aggressive or longer paging cycle, 525. Accordingly, batter) ' power consumption associated with monitoring for potential pages on the second network are reduced when the first network is available for service by increasing or lengthening the paging cycle of the second network, whereas call set-up latency is reduced when the first network is not available by decreasing or shortening the paging cycle of the second network.
