A mobile station in a satellite mobile telephone system predicts when it will move into another cell on the basis of one set of broadcast information thereby reducing the overall processing burden. The mobile station can predict with a useful degree of certainty which broadcast control channel (BCCH) frequencies it should listen on when it wakes up on the basis of a stored map of the relative positions of cells. The broadcast information includes information about the current cell's shape and translational and rotational motion.
