Abstract: In accordance with the example embodiments of the invention there is at least a method an apparatus to perform determining signaling comprising at least one wake-up signal to indicate an occurrence or a non-occurrence of a paging request associated with a next paging occasion of a network device; and sending the signaling comprising the at least one wake-up signal toward a network device in a communication network, wherein the at least one wake-up signal is to cause the network device to determine whether to leave at the next paging occasion an energy saving sleep mode to receive the paging request. Further, there is performing receiving by a network device in a communication network at least one wake-up signal to indicate an occurrence or a non-occurrence of a paging request, wherein the at least one wake-up signal is for use by the network device to determine whether to leave at its next paging occasion an energy saving sleep mode to receive the paging request.

Abstract: An approach is provided for allocating bandwidth among a plurality of bandwidths for providing communication over a radio network. The radio network utilizes a plurality of cells. Different values of center carrier frequencies are assigned corresponding to the cells, wherein the different values are set to vary frequency reuse over the allocated bandwidth.
