Method for processing idle mode

The invention discloses a method for processing an idle mode. In the method, an advanced control station connected to a traditional network uses a paging identification of a traditional protocol to page a mobile station in a first area of the advanced control station. The method is utilized to solve the problem that an error occurs when the advanced control station adopts an advanced protocol to process the idle mode of the mobile station under the condition that the advanced control station accesses the traditional network, thus the idle mode can adapt to system evolution.
