Method and system in wireless communication system for scheduling messages to reduce the quick paging channel peak power level
First Claim
1. In a wireless communication system, a method comprising the steps of:
- determining a plurality of paging indicators for transmission, wherein the plurality of paging indicators is associated with a plurality of messages scheduled for transmission;
determining if there is a transmission time collision between any of the plurality of paging indicators;
selecting at least one of the messages associated with at least one of the paging indicators involved in the transmission time collision to produce an at least one selected message; and
rescheduling transmission of the at least one selected message for a subsequent transmission.

Abstract
The method operates in a wireless communication system (100) that includes a paging channel (202) and a plurality of quick paging channels (204). A plurality of paging channel time slots (206) are defined within the paging channel, and a plurality of quick paging channel time slots (208) are defined within the quick paging channels. The method includes determining paging indicators (210) in a quick paging channel time slot; determining if there is a time collision (304) between paging indicators that would be set on different quick paging channels; selecting a message associated with one of the paging indicators involved in the time collision; and canceling the selected message, or rescheduling the selected message such that the message is sent in a subsequent paging channel time slot.
