Abstract: A device may operate within a specified frequency band within a specified coverage area of a wireless cellular network served by a cell. The device may monitor, during a cell-specific paging window, paging messages transmitted by the cell within the cell-specific paging window to devices operating within the specified coverage area and targeted to receive paging messages. The device may enter an idle state if the monitoring indicates that the paging messages do not include a respective paging message intended for the device. If the monitoring indicates that the paging messages include a paging message intended for the device, the device may process the paging message. Furthermore, the device may indicate to the cell, when attaching to the cell, whether the device has a capability to support standalone operation within the specified frequency band. If the indication is that the device does not support such standalone operation, the cell may not issue paging messages to the device.

Abstract: Example implementations relate to registering a Visitor Location Register (VLR) at a Home Location Register (HLR). A request from a VLR may be received. The received request may be a request to update a location record of a subscriber associated with a subscriber profile at a database. A record of the database may be checked to determine whether the requesting VLR is a flagged VLR. Responsive to determining that the VLR is flagged, a cancelation of a currently registered VLR may be delayed. The delay may include maintaining the registration of the currently registered VLR while attempting to register the subscriber at the requesting VLR. Where the requesting VLR is successfully registered, the currently registered VLR may be canceled.

Such systems and methods may include sequentially demodulating symbols of the received beacon signal using at least the phase processing circuit to detect a traffic indication signal value in a data payload portion of the received beacon signal. Upon detecting a condition indicating no data traffic for the wireless station, the phase processing circuit may be turned off. The polar receiver may demodulate symbols of the received beacon signal and upon detecting a beacon preamble symbol sequence, shut off the amplitude processing circuit and set the amplitude to a fixed value. The phase processing circuit in conjunction with the fixed amplitude value may be used to demodulate symbols of the beacon signal.
