A mobile station communication network includes a high penetration network which schedules high transmission power level paging to reach a mobile station for which an acknowledgment signal is not received. A home location register stores mobile station high penetration network (HPN) subscriber feature information. The HPN analyzes mobile station class to determine an appropriate response when a mobile station fails to acknowledge a page request. The HPN further maintains a record of short message service (SMS) time out (timer) values and examines the ID of the center that generated the message to determine when the SMS center will time out. Just prior to the time out, the HPN will send a "user unavailable" signal to the originating SMS center to avoid unnecessary paging request retries by the SMS center.

[ What is claimed is:] [1.] A communication system for communicating with a mobile station, the communication station comprising:a mobile switching center (MSC) for receiving a short message from a short message service (SMS) center and for receiving a call dialed to the mobile station, the MSC also for transmitting the short message and for routing the call to the mobile station; anda high penetration node (HPN) within the MSC and coupled by transmitter/receiver to a satellite transceiver having high transmission power level transmission capability, the HPN controlling high transmission power level paging attempts by the satellite transceiver to a mobile station, the HPN comprising:a first store for maintaining satellite transceiver orbit information and high beam level transmission capability information for a plurality of satellite transceivers for use by the HPN in scheduling high transmission power paging requests by a satellite transceiver following a failure by the mobile station to acknowledge a lower transmission power paging request; anda second store for maintaining a bank of SMS center time out values, which HPN uses a time out value from the second store indicating when the SMS center will time out for determining when to transmit a signal prior to time out reflecting that the mobile station is unavailable.
