Access terminals are adapted to receive a non-empty general page message (GPM) which includes a number of page records that is less than a predefined maximum number of page records. In response to receiving the non-empty general page message (GPM), the access terminal can enter into a sleep state of a slotted idle mode. A method operational on an access terminal includes receiving a general page message (GPM) with at least one page record. A number of page records included in the general page message (GPM) may be determined to be less than a maximum number of page records allowed in the general page message (GPM). The access terminal may enter a sleep state in response to determining the number of page records in the received general page message (GPM) is less than the maximum allowed number of page records. Other aspects, embodiments, and features are also included. |
