A method 400 and a mobile station 160 are provided for enabling a preferred slot cycle. The mobile station monitors for transmission from a base station 140 via a communication resource 210 based on an operating slot cycle index SCI corresponding to an operating slot cycle. The mobile station generally includes a receiving unit 320, a transmitting unit 330 and a controller 340. The receiving unit receives control information associated with slot cycles operable by the base station. The controller is operable to adjust the operating SCI to a preferred SCI in response to a trigger event. The preferred SCI corresponds to a preferred slot cycle. The transmitting unit transmits the preferred SCI to the base station so that the mobile station is in communication with the base station via the communication resource during a slot, which reoccurs based on the preferred slot cycle. |
