PICH-HS timing and operation
First Claim
1. A wireless communications apparatus, comprising:
- a memory that retains instructions to;
receive a paging indicator frame comprising a paging indicator on a paging indicator channel (PICH), wherein the paging indicator identifies one or more subframes on a high-speed shared data channel intended for the wireless communication apparatus;
receive, on a high-speed shared control channel, a set of parameters, wherein the set of parameters comprise a timing offset between the end of the paging subframe and the beginning of the one or more subframes on the high-speed shared data channel intended for the wireless communication apparatus, the parameters being configured for use by the wireless communication apparatus to receive data on the high-speed shared data channel;
receive, on the high-speed shared data channel, the one or more subframes; and
decode the one or more subframes in accordance with the set of parameters; and
a processor coupled to the memory, configured to execute the instructions retained in the memory.

Abstract
Systems and methodologies are described that facilitate employing a paging indicator channel in connection with high speed channels in a wireless communications network. A paging indicator transmission can be sent on the paging channel to one or more mobile devices. The paging indicator indicates that additional information such as a full paging messages, other control plane data or other user plane data is expected to be transmitted at a specific time instant (e.g., subframe) on the associated high speed channel. A set of parameters can be transmitted on common channels that specify a set of associated subframes in a high speed channel. Mobile devices can analyze the set of parameters to determine the associated subframes and receive the subframes in accordance with a schedule.
