Paging Procedure

Paging messages sent on PCH which MS continually listens to (TSL0 on BCCH TRX)
Limited to geographical sub-group of BSCs using LACs Paging sub-groups are used to save MS battery-life since MS only needs to listen to its own sub-channel and not to the entire PCH MS can be paged using IMSI or TMSI (determines number of MSs that can be paged per message (IMSI = 2 MSs : TMSI = 4 MSs Or 1 with IMSI & 2 TMSI ) : As per the Paging Type selected. Split between PCH and AGCH determined by numberOfBlocksForAccessGrant and the type of channel configuration used.
