Abstract

A method and apparatus for calculating RQuickPage in a wireless communication system characterized in that, determining the value of the PreferredQuickPageEnabled field and calculating RQuickPage wherein RQuickPage is used by the lower Medium Access Layer (MAC) Sublayer to determine if a quick page is received.

Claims

1. A method for calculating RQuickPage in a wireless communication system characterized in that:

determining the value of the PreferredQuickPageEnabled field; and

calculating RQuickPage wherein RQuickPage is used by the lower Medium Access Layer (MAC) Sublayer to determine if a quick page is received.

2. The method as claimed in claim 1, further characterized in that calculating RQuickPage by applying a hash function using the parameters SessionSeed, wherein the SessionSeed is the public data of the Session Management Protocol and N_QP—

_BLK, wherein N<sub>QP—

BLK</sub> is a numeric constant of the Control Channel MAC protocol when the value of the PreferredQuickPageEnabled field is equal to ‘

0’

.

3. The method as claimed in claim 1, further characterized in that setting RQuickPage to PreferredRQuickPage when the value of the PreferredQuickPageEnabled field is equal to ‘

1’

.

4. A computer readable medium including instructions stored thereon characterized in that:

a first set of instructions for determining the value of the PreferredQuickPageEnabled field; and

a second set of instructions for calculating RQuickPage wherein RQuickPage is used by the lower Medium Access Layer (MAC) Sublayer to determine if a quick page is received.

5. An apparatus operable in a wireless communication system, the apparatus characterized in that:

means for determining the value of the PreferredQuickPageEnabled field; and

means for calculating RQuickPage wherein RQuickPage is used by the lower Medium Access Layer (MAC) Sublayer to determine if a quick page is received.

6. The apparatus as claimed in claim 5, further characterized in that means for calculating RQuickPage by applying a hash function using the parameters SessionSeed, wherein the SessionSeed is the public data of the Session Management Protocol and N_QP—

_BLK, wherein N<sub>QP—

BLK</sub> is a numeric constant of the Control Channel MAC protocol when the value of the PreferredQuickPageEnabled field is equal to ‘

0’

.

7. The apparatus as claimed in claim 5, further characterized in that means for setting RQuickPage to PreferredRQuickPage when the value of the PreferredQuickPageEnabled field is equal to ‘

1’

.
