<p>The present invention provides a method for paging legacy and advanced access terminals. One embodiment of the method comprises receiving a notification that an access terminal is entering an idle mode and determining whether the access terminal is a legacy device identified by a fixed length identifier or an advanced device identified by one of a plurality of mode-dependent identifiers. The mode-dependent identifier is used to identify the advanced device in the idle mode. This embodiment may also include allocating one or more first paging cycles to the access terminal when it is a legacy device or one or more second paging cycles to the access terminal when it is an advanced device. The first and second paging cycles are different.</p> |
