1. A method for locating an access terminal and establishing a communications session, comprising:
- selecting one of a first and second paging scheme based on a characteristic associated with the communications session, wherein the first paging scheme is capable of locating the access terminal more quickly than the second paging scheme and wherein selecting one of the first and second paging schemes based on the quality of service associated with the access terminal further comprises selecting the first paging scheme in response to the quality of service associated with the access terminal being relatively high, and selecting the second paging scheme in response to the quality of service associated with the access terminal being relatively low.

Abstract
A method is provided for locating an access terminal using paging. The method comprises selecting one of a first and second paging scheme based on a quality of service associated with the access terminal. That is, a resource intensive paging scheme may be employed to locate access terminals that have been assigned a relatively high quality of service, and a slower, less resource intensive, paging scheme may be used when the access terminal has a relatively low quality of service.
