Native support of idle mode in wireless IP networks

Abstract

Service/Application-Related EnhancementsInitially designed to work in a voice/real time/mobile context, idle mode schemes have to evolve in order to maintain efficiency while deployed across a wide range of wireless technologies and deployments dominated by packet-based services. The sections following present enhancements related to the support of applications and services. Application AwarenessThe state of the art in idle mode support allows the terminal to tell the network which applications are allowed to activate it. For instance, in WiMAX [4], the terminal provides the list of paging-enabled
