1. An apparatus for receiving broadcast messages in a spread spectrum telecommunications system comprising:

  • means for associating categories with bit indices of a broadcast indicator bit stream by hashing desirable categories of broadcast messages via a pre-determined hashing function to determine said bit indices;

    means for waking up on a periodic basis to receive one or more bits in the broadcast indicator bit stream located at said bit indices;

    means for receiving said one or more bits on a modified quick paging channel;

    means for receiving one or more incoming page indicator bits on said modified quick paging channel;

    means for comparing each of said one or more bits and each of said one or more incoming page indicator bits to an on or off value; and

    means for determining from said comparison whether or not to subsequently receive and decode an encoded an encoded bit stream during that follows said broadcast indicator bit stream by a pre-determined time interval.
