Abstract

Paging success rate is one of the important performance metrics used by wireless service providers. It measures the page response acceptance rate when the MSC/VLR believes that the mobile is in the coverage area and pages the mobile to find the terminating mobile party to complete the incoming call. Obviously, the page message has to reach the mobile, and then the page response message has to reach the MSC before the originating party gives up. The paper is not about paging algorithms, rather about achieving the best page response rate for any paging algorithm. We present all the important factors and the parameters that impact paging success, based on our experience with the commercial operation of Samsung CDMA BSS. We believe that most of the details are applicable to other wireless networks.
