Abstract: Embodiments herein may receive a ranging request message with a sleep-mode indication from a mobile node at a destination base station in a wireless packet-switched network. System paging information may be accessed to determine a base station identifier associated with an originating base station that last served the mobile node. The originating base station may be contacted to retrieve a service context associated with the mobile node and any downlink packets buffered for the mobile node by the originating base station. Other embodiments may be described and claimed.

Abstract: Systems and techniques to manage location management and paging operations for idle mode mobile stations are described. An apparatus may comprise a first foreign agent having a foreign agent idle mode manager to store idle mode information for an idle mobile station in a first paging area of a wireless network. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

Abstract: Systems and techniques to communicate information between foreign agents and paging controllers are described. An apparatus may comprise a foreign agent having a foreign agent idle mode manager to store at least one paging controller identifier associated with an idle mode mobile station for a subnet. The subnet may have multiple paging controllers and associated paging groups. The foreign agent may send a paging request with a mobile station identifier for the idle mode mobile station to at least one of the multiple paging controllers corresponding to the at least one paging controller identifier. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

Abstract: Embodiments of wireless paging apparatus, systems, and methods are described generally herein. Other embodiments may be described and claimed.

Abstract: A paging controller to compute idle mode parameters associated with a first mobile station of at least one set of mobile stations located in a first paging group. The at least one set of mobile stations including the first mobile station and at least a second mobile station. The paging controller is to synchronize an upcoming mobile station paging listening interval for the at least one set of mobile stations.
