6.1 Introduction
A "Page" message is sent by the VLR to the RCF to initiate the PAGING
procedure in the event of a TC call. This procedure follows the
authentication and ciphering phases.
A number of paging attempts are possible on all the cells or, in cases of
congestion, over a list of cells. These cases are conditioned by system
parameters.
The "Search for mobile subscriber" message is sent by the VLR to the
RCP when the identity of the LAC is unknown to the VLR. This message
initiates a paging procedure if option F-PA-003 is active.

Paging messages
(1) "Cell Identification discriminator" field indicates
whether the CGI parameter is used partially or in full to
identify the cells in the list. In all paging cases (normal,
search or repetition of paging), if the list of cells exceeds
the normal length of a paging message, the "All Cells"
format is used.
CGI (discriminator= 00000000)
LAC+CI (discriminator= 00000001).
LAI (discriminator= 00000100).
LAC (discriminator= 00000101).
All cells of a BSC (discriminator= 00000110).
(2) Channel needed: If the BSC type supports this
parameter, the value may be SDDCH.
(3) Reserved for satellite network.
(4) Cell identifier is received in two formats:
CGI = 00000000.
LAC+CI = 00000001.
(5) Classmark2: Algorithm A5, mobile priorities, etc.
(6) SMS-MT processing (option F-SMS-007) to SDCCH
allocation.

Used to extend paging to all the cells of the BSCs associated with the location area, when the
first paging attempt fails.
Sys. Par.: PARNAME = RB_F_PA_001, NUM = BOOL, RTDMS Database: RELNAME=
RYR_SYSB, ATR = D_FPA001
Relevant process:
When the RCF initiates a paging procedure to a located mobile, the BSSMAP_PAGING
message is sent first to each of the BSCs having at least one cell in the mobile's location area.
If the RCF receives no response at the end of time TPAG and F-PA-002 is set to the FALSE
state, then the paging attempt is repeated. F-PA-001 operates in this precise case to define to
which cells the repeated BSSMAP_PAGING message is addressed.
The attempt is repeated NB_PAG_ATTEMPT times.
F-PA-001 is meaningless if F-PA-008 (satellite network) is set to the TRUE state.
Field values:
VRAI (TRUE): The BSSMAP_PAGING message is returned to the same BSCs as in the first
attempt. The "Cell Identifier list" parameter is set:
to "all cells", or
to a restricted number of LACs and cells if F-PA-004 (BSS overload management) is set to
the TRUE state and the BSC has declared a congestion condition.
FAUX (FALSE): The BSSMAP_PAGING message is sent to the same BSCs as on the first
attempt and with the "Cell Identifier List" parameter, except in the event of congestion, in which
case the process is as defined by F-PA-004.
