In a wireless communication system (100) having a plurality of communication cells (115, 117), and a plurality of mobile stations (118) operating within selected ones of the multiple communication cells (115, 117), a method and an apparatus for selecting those communication cells (115, 117). Within each communication cell (115, 117), a base station (112) transmits a message directed to the mobile stations (118), and detects a response indicator in the selected ones of the plurality of communication cells (115, 117). The message may be a broadcast page message transmitted by the base station (112). The response indicator may be an impulse radio-frequency energy transmission generated by the plurality of mobile stations (118) operating within the selected ones of the plurality of communication cells (115, 117). The base station (112) may detect the impulse radio-frequency energy transmission on a control channel or during a predetermined time window period (303, 410, 413, 416) following transmission of the message. The base station (112) directs call traffic to the plurality of mobile stations (118) in the selected ones of the plurality of communication cells (115, 117). |
