PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To reduce standby mode power consumption in an apparatus and method for paging a wireless terminal in a wireless communications system. SOLUTION: A minimally encoded quick paging channel is established over which short, quick page messages 30 are transmitted during one of a set of quick paging slots. The quick page message indicates that a communications request has been received, and that the receiving communication terminals should process a highly encoded full paging channel, over which more detailed, full page messages 32 are transmitted during the next full paging slot. A terminal monitors full paging channel, only after a quick page message has been received on the quick paging channel. COPYRIGHT: (C)2009,JPO&INPIT |
