Abstract

A method and apparatus for supervising a QuickChannelInfo block, ExtendedChannelInfo message and SectorParameters message in a wireless communication is described. A QuickChannelInfo supervision timer for T_{OMPECISupervision} is set. It is determined if the QuickChannelInfo supervision timer is active. An ExtendedChannelInfo supervision timer is set to T_{OMPECISupervision} and determined if ExtendedChannelInfo supervision timer is active. ASectorParameters supervision timer is set to T_{OMPSPSupervision} and determined if the SectorParameters supervision timer is active.
