Abstract:
1. A method for paging a wireless terminal in a wireless communication system comprising: transmitting a quick page message from a base station to the wireless terminal via a first channel, said quick page message notifying the wireless terminal to begin monitoring a second channel for a full page message; transmitting said full page message from the base station to the wireless terminal via said second channel; wherein said second channel includes more processing than said first channel, wherein said more processing includes encoding through an encoder, interleaving through an interleaver, and adding cyclic redundancy check through a cyclic redundancy check circuit to said full page message; wherein said wireless terminal is a particular wireless terminal included within a set of wireless terminals in said wireless communication system; wherein said quick page message is for directing said set of wireless terminals to monitor said second channel for said full page message; wherein said quick page message contains less data than said full page message; wherein said full page message identifies said particular wireless terminal among said set of wireless terminals; wherein said transmitting said quick page message occurs during a first time slot assigned to the set of wireless terminals; wherein said transmitting said full page message occurs during a second time slot assigned to the set of wireless terminals; wherein said second time slot occurs after said first time slot by a delay; wherein said quick page message is comprised of a single bit of data, and wherein said single bit of data transmitted via the first channel is modulated multiple times by the same code, effectively transmitting the bit multiple times in said transmitting said quick page message.
