Method and apparatus for receiving broadcast in a wireless multiple-access communications system

摘要

An access terminal an a wireless multiple-access network monitors multiple broadcast soft handoff groups simultaneously in order to select the best logical broadcast channels to decode based upon broadcast contents selected by a user of the access terminal. When in a traffic state the access terminal is able to decode one or more broadcast channels by decoding a unicast channel from a traffic server during one time slot and then decoding a broadcast channel from a broadcast server during another time slot.
