Abstract :
The increased demand for wireless mobile communications coupled with the finite available spectrum has motivated investigation into alternative methods of tracking users and delivering calls. We present a new scheme for delivering mobile terminated calls named reverse virtual call setup (RVC). Only a few new fixed network SS7 signaling messages are needed to implement this protocol; we specify them here. RVC can function within the existing cellular paging network or with an integrated overlaid paging network. The relative performance of RVC for both scenarios is investigated
