1. A method for monitoring access terminals in a wireless communications network comprising a plurality of wireless cells, said method comprising:
- sending a quick page (QP) configuration message in a first broadcasting channel;
sending a regular page (RP) configuration message in said first broadcasting channel;
sending a QP message in a second broadcasting channel, said second broadcasting channel configured to send said QP message in a single frequency network (SFN) mode;
sending a page forward link assignment message (PFLAM) in each sector of a group of sectors making up at least a part of each one of said plurality of wireless cells, said PFLAM including a resource assignment message assigning an RP channel, wherein each of said PFLAMs is sent according to a time-frequency resource defined by said each sector; and
transmitting an RP message on said RP channel using a same time-frequency resource in said each sector of said group of sectors.

17. A system for monitoring access terminals in a wireless communications network comprising a plurality of wireless cells, said system comprising:
-
a base station for issuing a quick page (QP) configuration message in a first broadcasting channel to a QP group; the base station for issuing a QP message in a second broadcasting channel to said QP group, wherein said QP message is transmitted in a single frequency network (SFN) mode; the base station for scrambling a page forward link assignment message (PFLAM) using a page media access control (MAC) ID, said PFLAM assigning an RP channel to each sector sector in said QP group; the base station for issuing said PFLAM to said each sector of said QP group, wherein said PFLAM is sent in said each sector according to a time-frequency resource defined by said each sector; and the base station for transmitting an RP message on said RP channel using a same time-frequency resource in said each sector of said quick page group. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29)

30. A computer program product having a non-transitory computer readable medium with computer program logic embodied thereon, said computer program product comprising:
-
code for transmitting a quick page (QP) configuration message and a regular page (RP) configuration message in a first broadcasting channel of a wireless communications network; code for transmitting a QP message in a second broadcasting channel of said wireless communications network, wherein said QP message is transmitted in a single frequency network (SFN) mode; code a page forward link assignment message (PFLAM) using a page media access control (MAC) ID; code for transmitting an RP message on an RP channel using a same time-frequency resource in each sector of a QP group; and code for transmitting said PFLAM in said each sector of said QP group, said PFLAM assigning said RP channel to said each sector of said QP group at said same time-frequency resource, wherein each of said PFLAMs is transmitted according to a different time-frequency resource defined by said each sector. - View Dependent Claims (31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38)
