Abstract  Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide methods and apparatus for supporting efficient paging in a wireless communications system supporting both access node based communications and peer to peer communications.

SOLUTION: Paging timing intervals are set aside in the timing structure such that multi-mode wireless terminals can monitor e.g. in an infrastructure band for pages from a base station whether the wireless terminal is operating in a base station attachment point mode or is operating in a peer to peer communications mode. Wireless terminals operating in a peer to peer mode e.g. using a non-infrastructure band suspends peer to peer communications during the paging intervals. The time periods in which the wireless terminal checks pages are predetermined so that both the wireless terminal and the base station are synchronized when a page is delivered. This synchronization helps reduce the wastage of session time in the peer to peer sessions.
