Abstract

A method and apparatus for processing access related information by an access terminal in idle state is provided, comprising determining whether a SharedSignalingMAC.AccessGrantReceived indication is received by an access terminal, generating an ActiveSetAssignment block and placing the generated ActiveSetAssignment block in public data of Overhead Messages Protocol.
