A system and method for providing information to a mobile station in a wireless network are provided. According to the method, a mobile station receives a control channel message wrapped in a unified control channel from a base station, and the mobile station determines a transmission type for incoming data, based upon the unified control channel. For a mobile station that operates with multiple transmission types, the mobile station does not have to monitor each of the control channels that the mobile station can receive, because the unified control channel tells the mobile station which transmission type to listen to. Therefore, the battery life of the mobile station can be extended, because the mobile station does not have to monitor numerous control channels.
