A technique for determining whether a paging channel signal comprising one or more data units is an empty page signal as disclosed. In a method aspect, the technique involves the steps of receiving a first data unit of a paging channel signal, obtaining an empty-paging data unit of the paging channel signal as a reference data unit, correlating the reference data unit with the received first data unit, and determining whether the paging channel signal is an empty page signal based on a first correlation result. In another aspect, an apparatus for determining whether a paging channel signal comprising one or more data units is an empty page signal as disclosed. The apparatus comprises a receiving component adapted to receive a first data unit of a paging channel signal, a coding component adapted to obtain an empty-paging data unit of the paging channel signal as a reference data unit, a correlator adapted to correlate the reference data unit with the received first data unit to obtain a first correlation result, and a determinator adapted to determine whether the paging channel signal is an empty page signal based on the first correlation result. |
