A mobile station selectively operates in quick paging mode (108) or in slotted paging mode (110). If the quality of the channel exceeds a threshold (106), then the mobile station operated in quick paging mode; otherwise in slotted paging mode. The mobile station measures channel quality by measuring various quality metrics (112-120) made during several previous pages (124), preferably over a period of about ten seconds (128). The quality metrics, and the previous pages, are preferably all given equal weight (122, 126). |
