Abstract
A wireless communication network infrastructure entity (110) transmits a message, for example, a system parameters message, on a common signaling channel for reception by wireless terminals (102) in the network.

An emergency broadcast message information field of the message transmitted on the common signaling channel indicates the availability of the emergency broadcast message.
