Dual channel slotted paging
First Claim
1. A method for paging a wireless terminal in a wireless telecommunications system comprising:
- transmitting a quick page message via a less encoded channel, said quick page message notifying the wireless terminal to begin monitoring a highly encoded channel for a full page message; and
transmitting a full page message via said highly encoded channel;
said highly encoded channel comprising a series connected convolutional encoder, an interleaver, and a modulator for performing modulation with a Walsh code; and
said less encoded channel comprising a modulator for modulating data with a Walsh code.

Abstract
A novel and improved method and system for paging a cellular telephone or other wireless terminal using two paging channels that reduces standby mode power consumption described. In one embodiment of the invention, a minimally encoded quick paging channel is established over which short, quick page messages are transmitted during one of a set of quick paging slots. The quick page message indicates that a communications request has been received, and that the receiving communication terminals should process a highly encoded full paging channel over which more detailed, full page messages are transmitted during the next full paging slot. A terminal monitors full paging channel only after a quick page message has been received on the quick paging channel.
