Abstract
Abstract The first frame of a paging slot ( 405 ) contains a portion of every page's ( 401-404 ) address. Likewise, the second, third, and fourth frames of the slot ( 405 ) contain a second, third, and fourth portion from each of the paging addresses. Address information is organized in the atomic frames of the slot ( 405 ) in such a way that the information in the earliest frame gives the mobile a high probability that it can determine that no messages directed to it are present in the slot. After receiving a first frame, a mobile station uses known partial address comparison techniques to determine if the mobile station has a page pending.

Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim
115 words
A method for receiving address information within a communication system, the method comprising the steps of: determining a slot time to receive messages; receiving the messages within the slot time; and determining from information bits received within a first frame of the slot, first unique address portions for a plurality of mobile stations, wherein a first address portion for an individual mobile station comprises a portion of the mobile station's address that is less than the whole of the address for the mobile station, wherein the lengths of the first address portions of the mobile stations are substantially equal and determined based on the number of first address portions being broadcast within the first frame.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
115 words
A method for receiving address information within a communication system, the method comprising the steps of: determining a slot time to receive messages; receiving the messages within the slot time; and determining from information bits received within a first frame of the slot, first unique address portions for a plurality of mobile stations, wherein a first address portion for an individual mobile station comprises a portion of the mobile station's address that is less than the whole of the address for the mobile station, wherein the lengths of the first address portions of the mobile stations are substantially equal and determined based on the number of first address portions being broadcast within the first frame.
Claim 3
Independent Claim
110 words
