A mobile station anticipates that an asynchronous idle handover or cell reselection is about to occur and just prior to the occurrence will determine if the idle mode handover/cell reselection interval will cause missing of a paging interval and thus a missed paging opportunity using an estimated handover duration. If not, then the mobile station will proceed with the idle mode handover (713). However, if the mobile station determines that a paging opportunity will be missed, then it will send an "idle handover start" message to the serving BTS (714). The BTS may, depending upon the time at which the message was received, stop or delay the transmission of pages during the time interval in which the mobile station is performing the idle mode handover. The mobile station performs the idle mode handover (717), and will receive a re-page at a small time offset (719).
