Abstract
The present invention relates to a method in a cellular mobile communication system for transmitting Pages, and such a system. The cells of the system are subdivided into two classes. To which class a cell is assigned is decided by its capacity to transmit Pages or by the amount of Page responses received within the cells. When paging a mobile station, the Page is first transmitted in the cells of the first class. If no response is received to that Page, the Page is transmitted also in the cells of the second class. An advantage is that there will be fewer Pages congested due to lack of capacity for transmission. Transmitted Pages in the cells of the second class are primarily transmitted to mobile stations that are really present within those cells. Thereby the probability increases that all mobile stations will be reached by Pages intended for them.
