1. A method for changing from a first number of frame interlaces to a second number of frame interlaces, the method comprising:
- receiving a request to change frame interlaces, the request including a supportable number of frame interlaces;
identifying the second number of frame interlaces based on the supportable number of frame interlaces; and
transmitting the identified second number of frame interlaces to an access terminal, the second number of frame interlaces identifying those frame interlaces that the access terminal is required to monitor.

Abstract
The disclosed embodiments provide for methods and systems for designating at least one frame interlace out of a set of frame interlaces, by identifying a number of frame interlaces, wherein information may be communicated on the identified frame interlaces, and designating the identified frame interlaces to at least one access terminal, such that the access terminal may save power by monitoring only the designated frame interlaces.
