Quick paging channel with reduced probability of missed page

摘要

A method of generating a quick page message in a wireless communication system is disclosed. The method includes first generating a compressed identifier value for at least one access terminal to be notified in the quick page message. The compressed identifier value represents a full length identifier that identifies the access terminal. The full length identifier can be determined based on the compressed identifier value. The method then includes assembling the quick paging message including the compressed identifier based at least in part on a number of access terminals scheduled to receive at least one paging message; and generating a wireless signal including at least a portion of the quick page message. A method of processing a quick page message in a wireless communication system is also disclosed. The method includes receiving a wireless signal having the quick page message; recovering the quick page message from the wireless signal, wherein the quick page message is based at least in part on a number of access terminals scheduled to receive at least one paging message; determining a number of compressed identifier values in the quick page message; and comparing each compressed identifier value from the quick page message with a predetermined compressed identifier value. Each compressed identifier value represents a full length identifier that identifies an access terminal. The full length identifier can be determined based on the corresponding compressed identifier value.
